    Show me your first gun.

    First I was 12, maybe 13 and a Marksman 740 I got for Christmas in the mid 70's. Fast forward a lot of years to 2015, needed a quiet way to get rid of a racoon in my father's back yard and bought a Hatsan Model 95 .25 caliber. Still have that one 9 years later (plus a LOT of others). Not quite...

    A pellet I would love to see produced

    How about .25 cal springer shooters? Seen any number of owners, me being one, that would love to see a wadcutter in .25 again for short range pesting. By all means make some very heavy rounds like Manny would like to see but for springers, say something between 22-24gr?? H&N used to make the...

    HW/Weihrauch Decision Time - .20 HW77K vs .22 HW77

    H&N at the time said it was issues with the company that makes the pellet tins for them. Buy 2 tins at current prices and it's more than a single tin of 500 used to sell for, but the same could be said for pretty much every other brand out there considering the rise in pellet prices the last...

    HW/Weihrauch Decision Time - .20 HW77K vs .22 HW77

    You might actually talk to Krale when the time comes about special ordering you something in .20 just to see what kind of pricing they'll give you on it vs ordering from AoA and all the associated extra costs. You'll probably have more than a bit of waiting time, but time to save for it. I'm...

    JTS Deadcenter ammo .20 cal

    For the crew at JTS, found these surfing Ebay. Listed weight was 11.87gr. Made and discontinued before I got into .20 caliber so hopefully anyone reading and got to shoot them will chime in.

    N/A Cheapest one piece dovetail droop compensating mount.

    BKL does, but almost $60. Be easier to learn what's needed and how to do it and just bend your rifle barrels where needed.

    Sig Sauer Inside the ASP20: Teardown and Specs

    Ask Hector. You might get lucky and he'll tell you who made them for Diana.

    Sig Sauer Inside the ASP20: Teardown and Specs

    That gas piston looks very similar to the NTEC rams Diana uses that also have a rear pin.

    JTS Deadcenter ammo .20 cal

    Crosman Premier .20's haven't been made since something like 2005 and Crosman has no interest in bringing them back. They got mentioned in the thread because they were such a great pellet, shooters would like to see them come back and maybe JTS could potentially make a solid replacement if they...

    Theoben All in on .20

    Father always said "Gonna do something, don't do it half @ssed"...lol. Been that way with .20 cal owning now 10 and always looking. Someday I'm hoping to be as lucky as the OP and add a CM, a Beeman RX or 2 and a Theoben or 2 to the current collection. Looking forward to pics and a write up...

    Best deal on a decent scope?

    The Vantage, whether 2-7 or 3-9, for an inexpensive rifle are decent scopes for the money. I have both and got mine with the IR for the etched glass reticles and they've all held up very nicely on my springers, some going on 7-8 years now. Also have the step up with the Airmax scopes and have...

    Best deal on a decent scope?

    +1 to what Lewis said. Everyone could make better suggestions knowing type of rifle, size of budget you have to work with, what you're wanting to use it for.

    HW/Weihrauch HW50 and HW95 .20 or.25?

    Don't know as I have a favorite, but my 95 .22 was my first HW/Beeman and bought way back when AoA was selling the Standard stocked versions for $299.99. Being my first one made it the first one I dressed up better and got this for it's 5th birthday :) My R9 .20 was bought next, gently used...

    HW/Weihrauch HW50 and HW95 .20 or.25?

    Why I told him to buy both. I'm an enabler and freely admit it....lol.

    HW85

    Got the "cheaper R10" myself aka R9 .20...lol. Have to settle on the R10 .20 I guess, since mine is marked Santa Rosa, not San Rafael...lol.

    HW/Weihrauch 98-20 cal

    Somehow I doubt it...said by the guy with an R1, R7, R9 and R10 so far in .20 and always looking for others....:ROFLMAO:

    HW/Weihrauch HW50 and HW95 .20 or.25?

    Find the owners who got in on the AoA group buy for the HW50s .20's. Don't remember a single one say a single bad word about buying one and they all love their rifles. Almost did myself, then decided to go a different direction and got a D34K in .20 instead. I have an R9 .20 (and an HW95 in .22)...

    Other Smallest break barrels on market?

    https://www.airventuri.com/av/tr5/ No idea how good it may or may not be, just remember seeing a shooting program somewhere that used them for teaching kids gun safety and competition shooting.
