    Maintenance on HB17 / Crosman H9A .177 multi-pump pistol

    Hi 55 .. spoke with Crosman’s technical support, they recommended that The Benjamin Sheridan HB17 be maintained the same way as the 13xx series multi pump air guns. After doing a trigger mod on mine and mounting a nice red dot I’m shooting (benched) dime size or smaller groups at 20 yards, using...

    Short Scope For 2044 and/or 1322 with steel breech ?

    Thank you all for your responses, they are very much appreciated. My internet connection was damaged, then I was out in a very rural area for a week and for some reason could not sign onto Airgun Nation to reply so I'd like to apologize for taking so long. Those are beautiful air guns ... thank...

    Short Scope For 2044 and/or 1322 with steel breech ?

    Hi there ... does anyone have a recommendation for a short scope for a Crosman 2044 and a Crosman 1322, both have the steel breech. It would be nice if the scope had parallax adjustment, maybe from 10 yards out to 50 yards, and had a variable range of magnification. It would also be nice if the...

    Entry level break barrel 22 cal air rifle with nice trigger ??

    Hi Longfellow .... I appreciate the info on the NP ... it's intriguing that some people have good luck and others like my friend don't, a toss of the dice as it were. I'm still thinking things through and I'm tempted to wait and watch for a good sale. The video by Kinney Karmody was interesting...

    Entry level break barrel 22 cal air rifle with nice trigger ??

    Hi Longfellow, thank you for your response I found it very informative. I looked up the roller bearing fix for a crosman rifle, I was surprised at how easy it was, if you have ever done one, did you leave in or modify the trigger adjustment screw or just take it out? As a point of interest ... a...

    Airgun Rated Optic for Ruger Mark I break barrel spring piston 600fps pistol"

    Hi Mike, thanks so much for your insight and the link to the red dot. I have a couple of red dot scopes I don't use, one was not too expensive, I might just give it a try and see if it survives. I've been kicking around getting into PCP, how you liking the PCP experience? Just for kicks I'm...

    Airgun Rated Optic for Ruger Mark I break barrel spring piston 600fps pistol"

    Any suggestions for an airgun scope (or red dot if they exist) for the Ruger Mark I springer break barrel air pistol in .177, the barrel has a factory 11mm dovetail. The factory sights don't provide enough windage adjustment to get a zero on mine. Looking for a shorter scope, 25 yards will be...

    Entry level break barrel 22 cal air rifle with nice trigger ??

    Thanks everyone for your suggestions, I checked them all out online, they are all great, I'm in love with the HW95, sweet, love the trigger, same as my R1, but being on a "not so great" fixed income, the RWS 34 looks like a great value. Decisions, decisions ... all your suggestions are appreciated!!

    Fiber Optic Sights for 1980's Beeman R1

    Hello mj102 ... What rear aperture do you use on your Williams peep sight with your fiber optic front sight? I have both a target peep, very small hole, and one that looks like a ghost ring with a much large aperture. I was wondering if you have any experience with the Williams twilight...

    Fiber Optic Sights for 1980's Beeman R1

    Hi Fischer, thanks for your response, I found it very informative and helpful to know that the HW rear fiber optic sights keep their Zero and other brands don't. My R1 weighs 11 pounds with the scope and sling so I understand the weight issue. The HW35Es are beautiful, well made and accurate. I...

    Fiber Optic Sights for 1980's Beeman R1

    Thanks ScottBlair, I checked out the front sight you suggested .. looks like a great candidate. Your post rang a bell with me, my old eyes things are blurry even with glasses, I've had a nice scope on for years, but it's too heavy now, hard to keep from moving around except on bench, pushed...
