As an engineer, i tend to look at things a little differently. When I was putting my Beeman Sportsman back together the other day, I got to wondering how much pressure is actually built-up by the spring before that pressure hits the pellet? My conclusion was, not very much. So i began to wonder...

I go a little impatient today and decided to throw my Beeman SS1000T Sportsman together after letitng if lay in pieces for a few weeks. I just wanted to take it out and check the zero on the scope. Just a few pellets, I swear! (Yeah, right!) You can see the results below. The bottom target was...

Anybody else see this? ... Removed. AGN does not permit posts containing illegal or dangerous use of Airguns.

I'm seriously considering plating the external parts of my beeman SS1000T. I was thinking of copper plating the barrel and nickel plating the spring Nottube. I may paint the plastic back cap gold. I figured the two metals would look great on a natural wood stock with a few embelishments. I'm...

I've been trying to think of a way to help increase air-gun safety industry without being too overt about it. You know, so we don't end up being targeted for government regulation. One of the ideas that I think would be feasible is for air-gun companies to promote things like trigger locks...

Just picked up a mystery Beeman for a project. Came with an interesting camo paint job that will need removed. My initial plan is to restore it to original. After that, I may make some modifications. It looks like its in pretty good shape. Just needs a good cleaning and fresh oil. So far...

I'm giving some serious consideration on getting a project gun to work on when I can't get out and shoot on the weekends. I'm very mechanically inclined and not afraid to take things apart and put them back together. I'm comfortable replacing, or even building, a new wood stock. Got plenty of...

I've been considering getting a 1911 replica CO2 pistol. Mostly because both my grandfather's carried 1911s, one in WW2 and the other in Korea. The only thing holding me back is I question how accurate they are. I don't want to get something that I'll just get frustrated with and never touch...

Weather finally cooperated today and was able to test out my improved shooting gallery frame. Mostly just added a second level and put my spinners on the second level.

It it just me, or do we need a budget section? It seems like everyone is pushing high end rifles which kind of makes it hard to find any info for those of us who stick to backyard plinking. I'm sure there are plenty of budget shooters out there yet I can't help but feel like we're crowded out by...

Just a post where we can show off what we shot this week. For me, I gave an evil clown a new set of nostrils (4/5 right in the nose) at 20m with my Gamo Whisper Swarm .22. Also took care of a very aggressive paper invader, also at 20m. Still need to work on my trigger control. 30 rds total...

I got my first bag yest this week and I wanted to try filling it with something other than sand or bbs. I thought long and hard on what filler to use when I finally hit on using aluminized plastic film! Amazon.com : TWOD Outdoor Shooting Rest Bags Target Sports Shooting Bench Rest Front & Rear...

I recoeved it last monday but didnt have time during the week to try it out. Have to say, I like it. Once I got the scope zeroed in, i was knocking diwn targets all afternoon. Tried several pellet brands and so far, the crosman domes gave me the best results. Quarter sized groupings at 15...

Has anybody tried using something like this to make a quick adjustable front support for benchrest? Amazon.com: DiER Lab-Lift Lifting Platforms Stand Rack Scissor Lab-Lift Lifter 100 x 100mm Stainless Steel : Industrial & Scientific My thinking was that the screw would allow for the kind of...

It's tax return season here in the US, so I know I'm not the only one who bought an addition to my arsenal. I'd like to see what all everyone got. It doesn't have to be an airgun specifically, just related to the sport. As for myself, I got my tax return Tuesday and then went and bought my...

Today, I finally got around to building myself a real shooting bench. Mostly threw it together from scrap wood that came with the house I bought last year. No more rickety card table for me! 30 inches tall, 32 inches wide and 46 in he's long. I went with an amphidextrous design because my in...

Feeling bored and wondering if anybody had some interesting plinking targets they'd like to share. I have your visit tin cans (cat food) some of the yellow silhouette, and I use my empty CO2 cartridges. I just paint them and stick them in a special stand I 3D print. I admit, I can and do print...

Winter is slowly loosing its grip for the year and now its time for me to build a new backstop and I'd like to improve on what I used last year. After a little research, this is what I'm thinking of doing. I plan on using a 1/2 inch rubber stall mat with a carpet front with about 2 or 3 inches...

I'm trying to come up with a simple way to convert my Umarex Fusion 2 to PCP, but I'm running into a couple of snags. First of all, I'm trying to limit this mod to off-the-shelf components as much as possible. I won't be physically altering the gun itself in any way. That way, I can go back to...

Just wanted to show off my free shooting gallery gallery shelf to help make setting up targets a lot easier. I can even hang targets, including paper targets for more fun. It's fun when I hit the spoons. They go flying. I can even bullseye the bottle cap you see on the shelf. Made from some...
