    Co2 revolvers machining marks on the cylinders from the factory, why?

    Hello again, I hope the photos show the lathe marks on the cylinders of most of these repro co2 revolvers that wasn’t polished off. The flutes are highly polished but the chamber exterior is not, and that is the basis for this question. First notice in the pics that the Colt SAA is...

    Co2 pistol S&W M-29 sticking trigger return.

    Hello, Has anyone else found that the trigger/hammer return spring on this revolver is too weak to cycle the action for the next shot? If I push the trigger forward after each shot it will function, but if I don’t the cylinder will not rotate and just discharge again on the empty cylinder...

    Where are you buying your hammer springs?

    Like others I have experimented with cutting my hammer springs looking to improve performance. But other than shot count the loss of power doesn’t work for me and I want to replace the springs for full power. No problem with my Crosman guns but My Diana Stormriders seem to offer a problem...

    Avenger, great potential and possibly underrated pcp rifle.

    After two years and tons of mods this 25cal Avenger has become my favorite pcp rifle to shoot at 75yds and under from the bench. It has been up against some stiff competition. If price is the consideration I must say that at the time I bought it it was under $300 and the rifles I...

    Aftermarket target quality bbl for the Benjamin ‘Craftsman’ series pcp rifles.

    While looking for consistent target accuracy with the Cayden and Akela rifles I have learned a lot through testing. This applies to other brands also but for now this is my interest. These rifles shoot well out of the box but I have discovered that accuracy soon fades. I have also...

    Sight screw plugs after removing the iron sights.

    Hello, While I mostly shoot pcp’s now I still enjoy my springers, and after removing the iron sights from my RWS Diana models 52 and 350 I find that none of my plug screws in my Pachmayr screw set will fit to plug the holes. 6-48 is the smallest I have and they are too large. What plug...

    RWS Diana M-52 needs suppressor.. how?

    Has anyone put a suppressor on their semi shrouded bbl side lever RWS Diana models like my M-52? I find a few challenges including grooves cut into the top of the actual bbl. The shroud comes 2 1/2 inches short of the muzzle after removing the muzzle weight which should allow a bbl...

    Birmingham Webley muzzle brake

    I have an older British made Webley Tomahawk break-bbl rifle and would like to ask if anyone has removed the factory muzzle break and replaced it with a suppressor. It looks simple and I expect to find a threaded tip but I’m just guessing and don’t want to damage the muzzle break. These...

    PCP energy at a distance

    Just for fun during a break in the weather today I pounded finishing nails into a wood strip and hung empty pistol cartridge cases to shoot @55yds. Two different rifles, these are the only ones I could find. I plan to drill holes in another wood strip and insert 1” chalk pieces next. ...

    Gravmag repeater for the Crosman pistols

    I hate single shot so ordered two of these ad-ons for my 2240 and 2300S even though they are spendy, and they came from England in just over a week. The 2240 conversion in 22cal works as advertised and is a pleasure to use and a great improvement. The conversation for the 177cal 2300S...

    Try reaching Crosman onlin

    All I wanted was factory replacement parts to buy. I followed all the Crosman website instructions and they sent me to the factory authorized websites that were no help at all. After then creating an account and following the instructions I found it not possible to log in as...

    Aftermarket regulator, yes or no?

    I’m looking for max bench accuracy at 50 and 75yds with pellets for my Cayden and Akela rifles and drop off seems to be a problem. I have been keeping them to predetermined pressures based on best groups and think these would benefit from being regulated. As it turns out the Cayden 22...

    Bbl bands added to PCP’s, help or hurt?

    I thought I knew what I was doing when I added a bbl band to my shrouded bbl Benjamin Akela 177 rifle for stability, it seemed to scream for one with soo much bbl flex. I haven’t shot it nearly enough to make a judgment, but early in this process to blame the loss of accuracy to the bbl...

    Unable to respond to classified?

    I’m likely doing something wrong but according to the rules I should be able to respond to ads in the classified, but at the end of each ad is stated “you are unable to respond to this ad”. Can someone in authority please steer me in the right direction? I would like to participate and...

    Benjamin Akela, just where do you plant your face from a benchrest?

    Really, I’m new to the bullpup design but nothing seems to fit. Ive tried relocating the 6X24X50mm scope forward and back, up and down, and can’t seem to find a comfortable shooting position. No matter what the scope will sit between 2” to 11/4” above the shroud measured at the 50mm...

    20 cal PCP may be needed

    Hello all, So here’s the question, I want to build a 20cal PCP rifle after owning modern PCP rifles in the other cals, and all the others from the distant past, and I’m wondering if someone else has already tried this and can contribute their knowledge. History has shown an advantage in...

    Diana first gen Stormrider modulating.

    So, Looking back at my .177cal gen 1 Stormrider that is stock I am displeased with the report and want to quiet it down to be neighbor friendly. After success with other PCP’s with suppression it looks like my attempts to remove the ‘moderator’ will result in destruction. The question...

    Psi/bar, and what pressure to charge my PCP rifles to?

    Ok, its time to admit my ignorance. Im an old guy with a background of firearms and conventional air rifles, but when it comes to using my compressor to charge my newish PCP rifles I don’t feel comfortable. Factory limits vary from 2000psi to 4350psi for each rifle, and then the bar...

    Stripped shroud screw on new Avenger

    Hey, my new Avenger 25cal seems to have arrived with a striped screw hole where the bbl shroud is attached to the rifle. It seems to be a metal screw into a plastic part. Looking at a parts diagram the stripped hole would be in part# PS-R air reservoir rear plug. I don’t want to...
