    Best place to buy a Daystate?

    Which is exactly what I said, maybe missing a word or too.. Distributor sends rifle to mom and pop and then “ they” mark(s) up the price for profit. End of story mom and pop cannot sell to you as low as AOA.

    Zbroia Kharkiv - Ukraine

    If the US distributor cannot sell Zbroia, because people are afraid there will be no parts, then the distributor does not need to restock. Then, Zbroia cannot sell more. Supply chains work like that. Without demand for a product, orders stop.

    Best place to buy a Daystate?

    AOA. They are the distributor. Everyone else gets their Daystate rifles from AOA, and then marks up the price for profit. I bought my Redwolf from a mom and pop. Box clearly said AOA on the outside.

    Zbroia Kharkiv - Ukraine

    I think buying Zbroia products now supports their airgun business in a time of need. I like that.

    Taipan owners....

    I see the Tactical version of the Veteran is available for sale in the US, now. That bodes well for Taipan, in general https://talontunes.com/shop/taipan-veteran-tactical/

    Beginner 1k budget... PCP or Break Barrel?

    A used Brocock Compatto for about $600 (most sold are like new). A used dive tank and fill at your local shop, for about $200 (it does not have to be pretty) And, a Burris Fullfield II 3-9x40 mm Rifle Scope for about $150 (or use a scope off your 22 rifle, for free). That would be a sweet...

    Compressor oil which is the correct one?

    I buy a gallon of the 455 at a time. With shipping it comes down to $25 a quart, going that route.

    Compressor oil which is the correct one?

    I figure that, if I am willing to spend the money on a breathing air compressor, I should use oil meant for that purpose. Currently using Nuvair food grade 455. It has a flashpoint of 260C/500F: https://www.nuvair.com/products/parts-accessories/oil/nuvair-455.html

    40 years of Excellence!!!

    I love my Redwolf! I have always thought that Daystate is missing out on a huge revenue stream- I would certainly buy an alternative stock for it, should it become available. The blue one looks promising,…..

    Brass vs stainless steel fittings

    Brass works to 200 BAR/3000 psi, but usually is used for lower pressure. Use stainless steel for anything over that. Muddydogs is right! Do not use if you do not have a rating from the manufacturer. edit for spelling,….

    Favorite lightweight AR stock

    Honestly? Look for mil-spec versions. Stay away from anything with a “flipper” adjustment. They all fail. I know, based on decades of experience. But, then, I am sure there is a “Call of Duty” fan who knows better.

    Recommendations for a new 10 Meter Shooter? (for a first gun)

    Anything Feinwerkbau. Older, or newer. It will sell for what you bought it for, or more, when you are tired of it.

    Diana 5 foresight rubber cover

    Follow-up! With a great deal of patience, and too much searching, I finally found an original, complete- hood, globe, etc., sight to replace my damaged one. I would just say, never give up looking when you are hunting for a unique part. Good luck, to all antique airgun parts searchers!

    Shooting While Sore

    Ezana4CE- “@deacon_blues Calisthenics before shooting? I hadn’t thought of that. Is this something you do regularly or primarily when it’s cold? Thank you for that link. I read the abstract. This looks like an worthwhile read. I like that the author examines the biathlete and their reactions to...

    Shooting While Sore

    Every day is different. Training to shoot under less than ideal conditions, is the key. Practice shot technique and accuracy with an increased heart-rate; do the same in foul weather (or less than ideal conditions).. Practice shot technique when you feel good, and when you feel bad. Try...
