    HW97 disassembly clean assemble

    I took the plunge and tore down my HW97 I could not resist the urge to tinker. After watching the videos it was easy except for loosening the rear trigger housing, that took a little work. Thoroughly cleaned polished the spring ends and the washers that it sits on. Put some synthetic moly grease...

    Good day at the range.

    I originally thought my HW 97 shot good no matter how it was held and it still does. But, I have learned how it likes to be held, just like my 22lrs. Tight to the shoulder but palm right under the W on the stock and the groups noticeably shrink. I was having a good day as well shooting my...

    My new HW 97 makes my happy

    I just got back from the range with an HW97 in .177 I purchased used from Dennis Breen from this sites members classifieds. It shoots amazingly tight groups. I did not measure them or take pictures but they were about thumbnail size groups at 25 yards :) The gun is a lower power version 11.8...

    Your opinion please

    I am looking forward to purchasing a new air rifle in January my eyesight makes me a scope only shooter for targets. This leads me to under lever or side lever, I am not interested in PCP or CO2. My first choices are the HW 97 and HW 77 laminates the Diana side levers are interesting as...

    Hatsan made me sad.

    My Hatsan made me sad. I bought a 95 Vortex QE from Midway USA last month and had to return it because of a defect and Midway promptly replaced it very easy. Unfortunately the replacement is almost as bad, a pie plate size pattern at 20 yds I will be returning it for credit or refund as this is...

    Crosman 1377, for your amusement.

    Good day at the range today, but last week I took my son with his new Crosman 1377 to the range and it shot high and no amount of adjustment left in the rear sight. I took it home and Mr. Dremel made the rear sight slot longer, problem solved. Unfortunately I can not leave well enough alone(...

    Globe sight for Hatsan

    Yesterday I attempted to put a front globe sight and rear peep sight on my Hatsan 95 Vortex QE. As the barrel shroud sits the front sight higher than if it was not QE I ordered a Lyman FP-AG rear and a front peep that would clamp on a dovetail rail. The rear sight went on with a little finesse...

    Rings, curved base. Newbie observation.

    I noticed today that the dovetail rings I have been buying for my 22lr rifles have flat bases which give full contact on their rails. However they only offer 3 points of contact on my new Hatsan rifle which is curved and looks like all the other rails I see on close ups of other air rifles. The...

    Hatsan Vortex QE

    I just unpacked a new Hatsan Vortex QE 95 I cleaned the barrel with some felt cleaning pellets and followed with a patch on a Jag. The gun comes with a scope not mounted and I will not mount it until I get a tin of pellets through it with regular sights. I purchased a smaller laser bore sighter...

    R9 not on Beeman web site

    Am I missing something obvious? I swear last month the R9 was on the Beeman website with the other R series. Im I crazy or were they not on the main site or are the special dealer only items?

    Hello my name is Gar from Long island New York. Today I went with my son to Long island shooting range in Brookhaven with an old Benjamin 317 I slapped a scope on this morning and a Crosman 1377. Neither had been fired since the 80s. As soon as the 317 was sighted in the piston seal went bad...
