    What’s the twist rate on the slug .22 23.5” LW barrel?

    What about what the land and grove measurements? I wouldn’t be surprised if they went straight up 22lr barrel. As a matter of fact I don’t understand why airgun barrels don’t adopt the .22 lr pattern all together. Sure they can play with twist rates but there’s zero reason why airgun barrels are...

    Other Gentle Shot Cycle

    My vote might surprise some the. It might not. HW100 in .177 at 15 fpe. Set reg at 90 bar. I’ve got a fine collection and the trigger and let off on this one is very very good. Even the loading of the pellet is noiseless, the cock on closing and a shortened hammer striker is more than likely the...

    Benjamin Post antique discos and how yours is tuned.

    This is a .257 converted using a Boyd’s ATone stock, Cothran powerhouse valve plus more of Cothran goodies. Good for 150 fpe . Not much of a shot count on the stock disco tube. I have since reinstalled 6-24x 50 FFP discovery scope.

    Diana Diana 54 air king pro 7.5J

    I didn’t even shoot the rifle before I tore into it. If you’re interested, I have the restrictor washer and factory spring to get a 54 down to the 7.5j . The rest of the rifle is exactly the same as the full power. I would imagine it was quite an easy shooter at that low a power output. While...

    Diana Diana 54 air king pro 7.5J

    I’ve got just over a tin of pellets through the rifle now and thought it would be time to see what the maccari spring and top hat would do power wise. The shot cycle of this rifle is unique to say the least. No jolting but I’m glad to have a scope with ample eye relief. The 8.4 JSB’ s average at...

    FWB Feinwerkbau 800X air rifle cylinder

    Well that’s not good. Here’s a link to a replacement. Doesn’t look to be very expensive. A lot less than I thought it would sell for. https://www.champchoice.com/mc-airgun/air-rifle-accessories/feinwerkbau-fwb-long-air-rifle-cylinder-silver-32020201

    Other Thoughts about Slugs and Magazines

    I’ve got a few air rifles that shoot slugs very well. With that said I cast my own ammo for them and it took a lot of mold testing then playing with the sizing to get them to where they are now. One in particular , the Evanix K550 ( bottle version of the AR6 ) shoots directly from the magazine...

    I would get in touch with Davis Slade. Or Motorhead here in the forum. Here’s David’s info. For motorhead, send him a PM if he doesn’t chime in here. https://www.airgunwerks.com/tunes.html

    I’ve got two seals coming from custom air seals. The seals from the UK seals are very close to the ones I purchased. They are lathe spun. The ones that are cast from the Theoben molds are unavailable right now. I was told a new batch would be cast in the next few months. Either way I’m going to...

    What was your first Pellet Rifle?

    My dad bought me a Slavia 618 when I was a kid. From the local farm feed supply store. Sure wish I still had it. I’m pretty sure it’s still in the old barn in my secret stash spot. That was some 40 years ago. Oh to be young again.

    Other BAM XSB51 Stock Options?

    We have a source of brand new B50 and B51’s up here for right around 250$ snow pesos. I’m tempted to pick one up and turn it into a high power .172 slug shooter.

    Diana Diana 54 air king pro 7.5J

    Got the rifle finished up while waiting for parts for another impulse buy. The new ARH spring got a delrin top hat made and I used the factory spring guide as it was about as close to a perfect fit as I would make myself. The steel washer with the factory guide was polished to a mirror finish...

    Other BAM XSB51 Stock Options?

    Hey Scott , is there anything airgun related you can’t do? Frog sakes man. I guess the old saying rings true once again. You just can’t buy experience. 👍

    No luck getting parts from David. What I did manage is to order some 304 stainless rod. Looks like I’ll have to make my own button.

    HW/Weihrauch Lost….But not forgotten

    Am I getting this straight. You ordered rifles from AoA , had them shipped to Airgun archery fun for import reasons . Then Wes shipped them to you? If that’s right , I had no idea this was even possible . I’ve looked at many a good deal on the AoA website and thought too bad there was no way to...

    Beeman Crow magnum .20 inbound

    Houston we have a problem. I tore into the rifle to give it a good once over and make sure it was in good working order. What I found is not the end of the world but it will be a while before I can mount the scope and start shooting. The cocking arm button / cocking shoe is heavily worn and...

    N/A 177 cal What's your best ammo?

    JSB ( old tins ) 7.87 grain in .451 I have an R9 that will shoot these at 960 FPS into a single raged hole at 40 yards. For PCP I think it’s pretty hard to beat the once again old tins of JSB 10.3 grain.

    Classic style rifle. What would your choice be?

    Here’s the two HW100’s I’ve got currently. The laminate .177 has the no longer produced 390mm cylinder from Ratworks. I’ve switched scopes on both to matching Discovery units so they both feel identical when shooting. The walnut is in .22 and tuned to about 30fpe 18.1 jsb’s at 860 , 15.9’s at...

    Other Walther 210

    I remember seeing those rifles up for sale a few months ago. I managed to fight the urge to hit the buy now. Glad they found a good home. . Those 210’s sure are pretty.

    Beeman Crow magnum .20 inbound

    I received the rifle yesterday and I’m more than pleased with this rifle. I’ve had my fair share of springers and gas rams. The trigger is not as good as a record but I’m sure I can get it closer to my liking, currently has a pretty long first stage and quite a bit of creep in the second . The...
