    Buying Hades on Amazon ( buyer beware)

    I've found that Amazon won't usually wrap pellet tins if they're shipped by themselves but will wrap properly if it's part of a group of items. If it's cheap enough, I'll gamble. Out of the past half dozen from Amazon, only one was dented. For the price, I'm good. For top shelf pellets, Pyramid...

    Seneca/Sam Yang Seneca Dragonfly anyone?

    I've had a Dragonfly II for a while now and it's impressed me for the money. Yes the linkage is complicated and the forearm opens much further than traditional pumps, so it takes a change in style for easy pumping. But does well with 3 pumps and I find 8 pumps plenty for all my needs. Great...

    Crosman Drifter pistol/carbine

    yes, big fan of the drifter kit. Cheap and simple but adding that 3rd point of contact makes a big difference. My pistol was just a bag of parts, so except for a rebuild it's stock. I run the cheap 3d printed rail and a Bushnell trs-25 red dot. Buddy has a drifter setup as well but runs the...

    N/A Dragonfly MK2 shoot out

    Same, for the price this is a lot in one package, while there's always room for improvement, it's a bargain. Optic mounting is easy and runs flawlessly with Carm rotary mags. I find 8 pumps is plenty for most of my shooting but always nice to know there's more to be had if needed. Runs fine with...

    USPS Money Orders - IMO Do Not Accept Unless

    FWIW I sold a motorcycle online to a member of the same forum that we'd both been members for years. He sent a cashier's check which I took to my bank and while they confirmed the check was good and the funds were available, they did add that it was no guarantee the funds would still be there...

    Notos rotary clip

    +1 on the Carm mags, best option on the market, use them in both my Diana Chaser and Dragonfly II. Better design, best quality.

    Red dots on springers

    Same here, run Field Sport reflex sights on my old Daisy/Gamo & Hatsan 95 springers, $30-$40 each off Amazon. The Daisy/Gamo has had a reflex for several years, no issues, no shift in POI. Hatsan is only a year old but so far, so good. I have had some inexpensive reflex sights with push button...

    Kudos to your handiwork, looks straight from the factory. Well done.

    Pre-ordering the Umarex M3 Grease Gun Soon

    Didn't they first announce the M3 Grease gun like a year ago? Based on the few reviews I've seen, it's internals are the same as the MP40 repro which seems to be well regarded & reliable. I like it and have been tempted to order one when they show in stock.But it's been sitting in 'pre-order'...

    Crosman 362

    Did you do the conversion yourself, or have it done? How much?

    Crosman 362

    As one who's had a Drgonfly II for a few months and just bought a 362, it's pretty good for the price. On Black Friday sale it came in just over $100 with shipping from Pyramid. Was tempted to just let them add the steel breech for $35 more but I plan to give the irons a try, already have plenty...

    Pistol range bag

    Doro and Case Club make some nice Pelican style hard cases with wheels, up to 10 pistol capacity plus mags but either is around $250. How much does your 13 gun collection tip the scales at?

    Reality check needed, please

    IMHO once money changes hands, the deal is done. But I'd call this Bad Sportsmanship and not Bad Ethics, not worth reporting.

    Buck Rogers Disintegrator Pistol - Rerelease

    There's a pretty hot market for old/vintage sci fi collectables, even for reproductions. I used to own an old electric clock that had the earth as the face with a 50's era space ship on the edge of the second hand. Picked it up for $10 at a yard sale many years ago. Six months later I see the...

    Diana Chaser given the Full Buck-Rail treatment

    How much for the conversion? Just short barrels or do they offer 16" .25 barrels? I saw that AR conversion on BuckRail's site, that's tempting. I have a footlocker full of take off AR furniture.

    Seneca Dragonfly Mk2

    Get some CARM mags, much easier to load vs factory mags. They're 3d printed vs aluminum but a simpler design, one less round of capacity in .177 or .22 but no putting in first pellet backwards or flipping the cover around. You just stick a pellet in from the back and rotate the cylinder for next...

    PayPal NIGHTMARE!

    While Ppal has been notoriously 'anti gun' I've not had any problems with purchasing, even gun related items. Most small businesses or individuals still use Ppal vs the cost of taking credit cards. But I agree with the OP that they should have at least provided a reason. Although most online...

    Crosman 140

    I’ve got a Crosman 140 and the Sears branded version of the 1400. As mentioned, the 1400 has some nice improvements but the 140 to my eye looks better. The trigger on my 140 is better. 1400 has more power but it’s had a complete rebuild, 140 has only had an alcohol flush. My shooting buddy...

    Umarex Trevox

    Try some different pellets, RWS or H&N. Normally Crosman is my favorite ‘bang for the buck’ pellet but I just bought a tin of Crosman pointed pellets that don’t seem to shoot well out of anything I have, not even my Crosman 101 and that shoots everything well.

    I got this in the mail today from UPS

    Makes me wonder if the shipper damaged it and re-boxed it. Can’t say for sure but in a situation where they knowingly damaged it, their policy may be to just deliver it and let the Claims Process work it’s magic. I’d make sure the seller has pics of the packaging it arrived in, maybe he can...
