    Traditional Rifle Refinished old style R1 stock. Free.

    I pulled this stock off an R1 I recently picked up. Someone refinished it at some point, but it's in pretty clean shape otherwise. Old style with the palm swell and hand cut checkering. Has steel screw cups. No screws included. If you want it, come pick it up. I'm not shipping it, I'm not...

    Slug mags for Taipan

    I had a fella make me some blank 3D printed magazines for my Taipan Veteran without the oring grooves so I could make the grooves where I wanted them. A few minutes hacking around in the shop and I have this: Seems to work great so far. Might try and get some softer durometer rings just...

    Semi worthless thread about Taipan accuracy issues.

    So I bought a Taipan Long in .22 It shot pretty damn well honestly, but seemed to be somewhat finicky with a flier pretty regularly. And being overly critical, I thought it could do better. As I like to do with any new gun I pulled the barrel to give her a good look over and push a pellet...

    Anyone recognize this muzzle brake/weight?

    I picked up an older Beeman R1 recently and it had this giant honking muzzle brake on it. It's hideous and huge, but it's very nicely made and finished. Anyone know where it came from or who made it by chance? It's not a Maccari, I just sent him some pics and he confirmed that it's not one of...

    Show us your squirrel gun for this season!

    Hopefully I didn't miss a thread similar to this already. I was gearing up to get ready for our squirrel season here in September, and just thought it would be nice to see what kinda iron ya'll are toting on the first hunt this year? I know some have already started, post up anyway. As for me...

    [WTB] 13-14mm dovetail scope rings, BSA rings...

    Looking for some scope rings to fit an old Weihrauch. It has the 13mm scope grooves. Apparently the whole planet is out of stock on them. Hoping someone may have a set off an old BSA or something they would part with. Gimme a shout if so. I appreciate your time!

    HW100 with Open Sights.....FWB 124 Frankenstein?

    So......I put a barrel from an FWB124 Sport on my HW100. I planned to check the accuracy and make sure some things were going to work out before I turn down the FWB's sight grooves to thread the muzzle for a moderator. While I had it together, it occurred to me that I had never seen an HW100...

    Tuning Heliboard for Red Wolf Standard power?

    Has anybody used or have experience with a Heliboard in a standard power Red Wolf? I recently acquired one in .22, its a GCU-1 gun at 35ft/lb. Would love to be able to turn the power level down farther than it is currently for the Low setting. Going from Sub 12ft/lbs and up to 35fpe would be...

    Replacement buttpad for HW55? Ideas?

    My HW55 has a non-original buttpad on it, likely off a different HW55 with a different stock and doesn't fit well. Looking for ideas on something that may be a decent replacement. Would like to have something still curved. The adjustables like Morgan and Bisley sound good, as long as I can...

    [WTB] Need a diopter to fit 13mm grooves. HW55, HW35, etc

    Need to find a rear sight for my old HW55. It has the old wider scope grooves, not the current 11mm. Weihrauch, Anschutz, etc whatever fits. Gimme a shout if you can part with something.

    Back to basics squirrel hunt this evening..

    I had a few hours to myself this evening and decided what better way to spend it than swatting at mosquitoes with my gun while trying to hunt squirrels! And if you are gonna be swinging your gun around, might as well save some weight and run open sights. I made up a new aperture for an old ARH...

    Old match guns still get it done. Sort of..

    Went out for a couple strolls today on the wildlife management area. Been working on fixing up an old HW55T recently, and got it shooting pretty well. So I figured id take it out and plink some pine cones or maybe a shot at a rabbit. No such luck there, but in a stroke of luck I managed to...

    HW55: making piston seals and general rambling.

    Recently acquired a HW55T that was a little tired. I made an adapter and popped on a synthetic seal at first, then decided to try and go back original and replace the leather piston seal. Didn't want to order one, so I got an idea and whipped one out with junk I had on hand. Here's the...

    Feedback Coloradoshooter is a great guy, and an honest seller.

    Bought a gun from Dave, and he went above and beyond to make the deal perfect. His packing job was over the top, and everything was just as described. He is new here, but don't hesitate to give him a shout or trade with him. Thanks Dave!

    Looking for a HW35E in .177 caliber. Rather have vintage, but new is okay too. Walnut stock is a must. Shoot me a line if you have something. Thanks for looking.

    Anybody machined a stainless LW barrel blank?

    I know this is a long shot, but thought id ask. Has anybody here machined a Lothar Walther stainless airgun blank before? I've done it on their normal steel blanks, but not the stainless. Just wondering if it's awful to work with or about the same or possibly easier? I know stainless can tend to...

    [WTB] .177 barrel for project. Fitment doesn't matter

    I'm looking for a barrel for a project. I need minimum 16" long of clean barrel, and diameter at least .625"/15.9mm. I will do the machining to fit. Would like a quality barrel like a BSA, Weihrauch (even the springer barrels), etc. Just figured id check before ordering a LW blank. Thanks guys

    [SOLD] FX Cyclone (Webley branded) with nice walnut stock .177

    *$600* Really nice .177 caliber FX Cyclone that was rebranded for Webley around 2005. The walnut stock on the Webley version was nicer than the FX IMO, and this one looks nice. 3 stage power adjuster 18, 15, 12fpe with the flip of a lever. Very lightweight rifle, Very efficient on air and has...
