    I have always wanted an airgun that could simulate a powder-burner for training and/or simulation. Many years ago, Colt introduced the "Ace", designed by "Carbine" Williams (inventor of the M1 Carbine gas system). It had a "floating chamber" that allowed a .22 long rifle cartridge to simulate...

    Short range hunting / pesting challenge...

    Tuning PCP design books?

    I think I already know the answer, but in case I've missed something in my searching, are there any good technical references on PCP design? I'm aware of Buckley's book, but it seems to be unobtanium. Any others? TIA, GsT

Tanks, bullpup designs, the Leshiy - they seem to defy any of my racks (some work, nothing works for all of...

    I'd like to replace a couple EDMUs with Wika gauges, but my searches turn up only UK suppliers. It appears that Wika is a US company, is there a US vendor? TIA, GsT

    How many hours on your Air Venturi 4500?

    Just what the title says. I have one, it's low hours (<10), nothing wrong other than the mess when venting and the smell after running it. Just trying to get an idea of how long it might last. GsT
