    Beeman An economical approach to CO2 for the QB78 series

    So... I've been dinking around with inexpensive ways to better regulate how my rifle (a .22 QB78) dispenses co2 in order to make it more efficient, the cartridges last a bit longer, and hopefully gain some control over muzzle velocities for the duration of the shooting session. Making it hit...

    N/A Free public airgun reading material

    I ran across this on the internet archive. It's free to read and/or download. It's rather informative on airguns made up until 2003. J. E. House is a good writer. He has a book on American air rifles posted there as well. https://archive.org/details/CO2_Pistols_Rifles Cheers, J~

    Gamo .22 Match Wadcutters Surprising results

    22 wadcutters of any brand are hard to find around here. With the weather being as nice as it is here today, there was a chance to test the pellets that I'd received from Damon (genXer). Having tried various .177 Gamo pellets in the past in a number of guns with consistently poor results...

    Tuning Why aren't springers externally preload adustable?

    This has been bouncing around in my head for a while. The shocks on motorcycles are easily (and externally) adjusted for pre-load, so why not springer airguns? Wouldn't it simplify things if you could tune the gun to the pellet instead of buying/trying pellets to work well with the gun? I...

    Evaluating new Crosman pellets in the .22 QB-78

    Having run out of the Crosman Premier hollow points that this rifle liked so much and seeing that the new tin of HP Premiers not doing nearly as well, I found a couple of tins of other pellets at a local shop yesterday. My buddy's QB-78 Standard in .177 really likes the Destroyers (and...

    3D printed pellets? I guess so!

    Something in another thread made me think of this. A friend built a DIY kiln and casts things out of various metals. It strikes me that it would be possible to print 3d models of various pellet types and then use them to make molds for pellet casting. Possible? I don't know. What are your...

    Anyone else have white squirrels in their area?

    Here's a pic. There are about twenty in this area of the woods in western NC. This one has a grey cap, but many are solid white. I'm guessing they'll taste the same as the grey ones do. J~

    I didn't see that coming! Milk cartons of pellets?

    While looking around for the Crosman pellets that my .22 QB78 likes, I ran across these at Tractor Supply. If your pellet gun likes them, then why not? Be safe, J~

    It's amazing what cleaning a barrel can do! Crosman 760XL (sort of...)

    This rifle has been around since I was about 20. I picked it up at the flea market and eventually gave it to my brother when I left the state. He gave it back to me when I returned (31-years later). When he got it still had the gold 760-XL receiver and nicely re-finished wood stock. Needless...
