    Lead free pest control.

    Outside of shooting ranges, skeet included, lead projectiles are not that big of an environmental catastrophe. Wash your hands and don't smoke while shooting, the cigarettes will kill you.

    HW/Weihrauch 7.6 Foot Pounds of Fury

    It seems that you're shooting downhill at that milkjug; are you applying compensation for that? You'll nail that jug eventually.

    Rimfire or PCP

    Comparing FX PCP rifles to Ruger 10/22 class rim-fire rifles? Apples/Oranges comparison; not even in the same price category.

    Ballistol?

    I can’t tolerate the smell of Ballistol or WD-40.

    PayPal! Beware...

    I would never let PayPal have my bank information or debit card information. They don’t need it; it could only hurt you, and benefit only them.

    Selling off Powder Burners

    They may well be worth their weight in gold soon.

    Another springer scope mount question.

    I see that BKL rings and mounts are manufactured from aluminum; their “self-alignment“ feature is accomplished by relief cuts and flexing. No thanks. I’ll stick to my old-school materials and continue using steel rings and lapping them.

    Another springer scope mount question.

    No one laps their scope rings anymore? Granted, manufacturing tolerances have greatly improved over the years, but lapping the rings can only improve the accuracy of a given rifle scope.

    Shooting kneeling or sitting, elbow propped on knee. Any tips?

    I can wholeheartedly recommend attending a Project Appleseed event. www.appleseedinfo.org They put on a very thorough and extensive training program that addresses the fundamentals of rifle marksmanship.

    New to Diopter Sights

    Thanks pdxFrank! I had an inkling that T could be "Tiefer", as it was the only German word in the online translator that began with a T when I entered "Lower or down". But "raise" "up" and "down" all listed German words beginning with H. I have some German ancestry, but like most Americans...

    credit card list ? something to think about .

    Digital Dollars is the unofficial tag for the Central Bank Digital Currency or CBDC. The USA is on its way to implementing CBDC. What am I saying? Digital currency is coming, and it will eventually eliminate cash. And with it will be 100% purchase tracking. Think about all the ways this could...

    New to Diopter Sights

    On the subject of diopter sights... I purchased a diopter rear sight sight for my HW35E. I have not been able to find any clarification for the markings on the elevation and windage knobs. Elevation clockwise is marked "H" and counterclockwise is marked "T". Windage clockwise is marked "R"...

    Target Stuff

    We all have to start somewhere. I have a brand new rifle that is in need of some breaking in. I’ll start in my basement, 10 yards, before I take it outside and possibly embarrass myself in front of neighbors.

    trouble with diy IR camera

    [edit] It's doubtful that the 16mm lens is bad. I followed your links to the products to see what you have. If you install the 16mm lens on the camera, without trying any sort of attaching it to your riflescope, can you get a clear image? Perhaps you need a longer (or shorter) tube between the...

    This is America

    I was naive, I wondered, "What kind of lid? A lid from a jar of Skippy peanut butter? Or the lid from a pill bottle? Or a lid from a trash can?"

    trouble with diy IR camera

    My best guess is that the camera and lens assembly is not focused. Did you build this rig from someone's DIY-night-vision project video or tutorial?

    This is America

    Redtick12, switching to metric won't make old Chevy's disappear or magically become metric. Unless you absolutely refuse to perform maintenance on old machinery that was built using Imperial measurement units, you'll still need two sets of tools. Personally, I don't have issues with metric...

    This is America

    I grew up in the 1960s-1970s, and I never really knew how much marijuana was in a "lid". I still don't.

    New HW35E in .177

    I received an email Friday morning (29 July 2022) from Krale that the HW35E in .177 was in-stock. Nine minutes later, I had an order confirmation email in my in-box! 👍

    Why do you still shoot springers?

    Reading this thread is just fueling my appetite for MY first springer. Let me take that back... I have a Webly Tempest pistol I purchased back in the 1980s. So, I suppose that it technically meets the definition of spring gun. I have my sights set on a HW-35E .177 as my first springer...
