    @legion So that's ok for the seals huh? That's why I used divers grease. Had a few products destroy my seals.

    Flat top piston pumper maintenance

    Hey guys I'm having some difficulty with my flat top piston 1322. I polished the tube of the gun really well and it's functioning ok but feels gritty and is scratching the top of the piston where the arm of the lever attaches. I'm thinking of taking it out and polishing the piston itself and...

    Tried and true oil finish ?

    The absolute best is boiled linseed oil. It makes the best lasting finish and when you get a scratch you can use a little heat and restain. That being said the process is a nightmare. You sand down to the smoothest nicest finish you can and then let it hang for at least a week. Then you do it...

    Large bore that can accept normal pistol bullets and shoot all copper

    Even though the bullet would not fall down the barrel it’s still not a perfect seal. Early cartridges suffered from this because they had less velocity than muzzle loaders and that’s why I wonder if it would be a problem with Airgun’s. The name of the action a bullet takes when expanding under...

    Large bore that can accept normal pistol bullets and shoot all copper

    I believe most of the extreme big bore rifles are sized for either pistol or muzzle loader common bullets. I would call them before trying copper tho. Copper bullets use high pressure to open up slightly and make a seal. I don’t know if any air gun make’s enough pressure for that. Bismuth or...

    Manufacturers , warranties and parts availability ???

    I bought Airforce guns several times. I have never seen better customer service period. Maybe some companies can have as good but not better. They allow you to work on your own guns and send you parts for free whenever anything breaks…..which hardly ever happens. Even when seals go bad! I was...

    Big Bore Shooting Groups 3 or 5 Shots?

    Oh you have the same reg I have. It’s a good reg. Not really sure why you are experiencing it opening up like that but it could be a ton of reasons. I don’t think it’s your air source though. Either tank should have plenty of air and the reg is top notch. Could be bullet consistency. Could be...

    Big Bore Shooting Groups 3 or 5 Shots?

    One issue may be the size of the bottle and if you have a reg on it. For example if you have it tethered to a smaller bottle you may drop the pressure enough to change the velocity even if it’s on a reg. Are you using a chronograph to see if velocities are consistent? I use a huge great white...

    Has anybody herd if Crossman going to come out with 25cal. pellets?

    I really like them for my marauder. I have used them for hunting and the penetration is good and the expansion isn’t as good as a polymath or hades. I like them because the harder alloy makes it really nice in the field. No bent skirts. Also I believe they are cheaper than jsb. Been a few years...

    Alumahyde just peeled off can anyone help?

    So no unknown solvent I used pure acetone and have had success before with rattle cans. I am not an experienced painter but have spray painted a couple things that turned out great. Already from you guys I've realized that #1 I probably put too many coats on. And #2 probably should have roughed...

    Alumahyde just peeled off can anyone help?

    I have two old crosman guns that had some kind of powder coat or really strong paint. They were massively pitted and I took hours and hours sanding and polishing them down to the metal. I then roughed up the surfaces with 600 grit sand paper and thoroughly degreased all parts. I then painted...

    Similar weighted pellets vs. slugs?

    NSA has given me great service and the slugs are definitely in great shape. However some of my guns like them and some don't. I'm afraid it's just one of those things that you have to try first to see if it shoots well.

    Best airgun options for whitetail?

    I didn't know about that cheap sizer. That's pretty cool.

    Best airgun options for whitetail?

    Ok so I feel like the hatsan is almost expensive as the Texan without a lifetime warranty. Airforce is amazing lifetime customer service that is really second to none. I feel the same about the hammer. It's a little more power than the Texan but not much especially when you consider the new CF...

    AK47/Sks clone sling free

    Hey guys. I bought this sling for my powder burner SKS but I got scammed. The attachments are not real leather and I don't feel comfortable using it to hike all around creation with a 10lb rifle. I can't use it so I will just give it away. I think it would be cool for someone who has an AK...

    LPVO or similar with parallax adjust AND long eye relief?

    Have you thought about buying a standard scope with good eye relief and parallax adjustment and just slapping a Burris fast fire micro red dot on it for true parallax free close range and ideal long range? Not many lpvo scopes with adjustable parallax out there. You might find a good 2x7 with...
