    Pre order with SPAW 😩

    On August 22, 2021 I pre ordered a .177 caliber 500mm barrel from SPAW (Ken Hicks). The funds were promptly accepted and an invoice for payment was sent to me per email. After waiting patiently for 5 months and receiving nothing from SPAW, on January 29, 2022, I contacted Hicks per email...

    Is Civility Dead?

    Before I joined this forum, as required, I read the forum rules. Of those rules, rule number 1 stands out to me: "...The diversity of opinion and intelligent civil discourse is encouraged; by the same token: rude, lewd, vulgar, obscene, flaming, baiting, trolling, hateful, threatening...

    The Most Off-Putting Ad in the Classifieds?

    I'd like to conduct a poll. Please vote for your choice of the most offensive sales ad you've ever viewed in this forum's classified section. I have a candidate in mind -- I just read it this morning. The ad comes with a disclaimer of: "Please Read Carefully". I would never, ever consider...

    Meanadidas 5☆ Seller

    I recently made a purchase from forum member Meanadidas. The interaction was pleasant and the seller was very professional and responsive to questions and texts. I will do business with this individual again, with confidence. Al

    I'll adapt

    But right now, my head is starting to hurt.

    Where Is Our Hobby Headed?

    At the rifle/pistol range where I shoot several times a month it appears I'm the sole airgunner. It never fails when I'm playing with my toys at this range, other shooters, all "powder burners", are fascinated with the accuracy and sophistication of my airguns, usually the FX Impact. I get tons...

    Are We asking Too Much?

    I've followed very closely an ongoing thread regarding a customer's problems with an airgun vendor who happens to be a sponsor of this forum. I've had interactions with the vendor in question and those past experiences with the vendor influence my take on the issue at hand. I know that...

    Tuning "Slugs Require High Velocity For Accuracy"

    Sez who? And don't tell that to the chipper I just picked off my bird feeder at 40 yards. This Taipan Veteran .22 caliber sports a 700mm CZ barrel. I have it tuned to push H&N 21 grain slugs at 775 fps ---> 26 FPE. And it is a laser! Slug-on-slug on the shoot-n-c target set up at 40 yards...

    Why are Airgunners Always Crowing About Taipan Veterans?

    I just happen to hate them: 😂 Maybe it's the great trigger, that I detest. Or the superb accuracy that I so despise. Could it be the smooth cocking that I abhor? Maybe it's the robust build and trouble-free functioning that I loathe. I'll get back to you in about a month, after I...

    Daystate or FX?

    Which is your fave? Why? If you don't mind saying. Right now, I'm deeply into this Delta Wolf. And everything else gets put on the back-burner, including my excellent FX M3 and a newly acquired AGT Vulcan3. I've always admired the beautiful Minelli stocks and the superb accuracy of the...

    [NLA] AGT Vulcan3 .22 Caliber

    I've put only 2 magazines through this rifle since purchased from a forum member about 2 weeks ago. This was done in my basement at 18 yards using Zan 23 grain and Zan 25.5 grain. The rifle is very accurate with both those projectiles. Selling because my "range time" is spent with my Delta Wolf...

    Alpha Wolf?

    I removed the OEM LW barrel and replaced it with an FX Superior Liner and shroud -- modded by forum member "ViperJOE". This thing is verrrrry accurate. Nothing "delta" about it. THIS THING IS DEFINITELY ALPHA WOLF! Can't wait to get back on the range. The range won't be open to the...

    Great Time to be an Airgunner

    With the Daystate line of rifles i.e. Delta Wolf, Red Wolf, FX Impact (in its various iterations), Wildcat Mk3 etc, Taipan Vets, AGT Vulcan3, Edgun Matador, etc.. just to name a few -- guns that I currently own, I feel fortunate being able to access/acquire such high quality airguns. Having...

    Bottle for Daystate

    I'm thinking of replacing the 480cc bottle on my Delta Wolf with a 580cc bottle. I have the 580cc bottle in hand. Anyone know where I can purchase the valve for this carbon fiber bottle? Thanks Al

    It's Not Really That Important

    I found one of my PCPs has a leak...DARN IT! I don't really want to tear this gun down and replace an o-ring. While working on the gun at my work bench, I had the TV set on one of the cable news channels. The news coverage is 24 hour Russian invasion of Ukraine. Interviews of the Ukrainian...

    Daystate Delta Wolf -- First Impressions

    Initially, I was a skeptic regarding this rifle. After nearly 2 years I felt it was safe to take the plunge. After one week of ownership, I don't regret making that decision. This rifle is ahead of the curve. I will continue to enjoy my FX Impacts -- as they are superbly accurate and the...

    Delta Wolf on the Range

    I received this Daystate Delta Wolf .22 cal. one week ago Saturday. I'm loving this gun -- much easier to tune than my FX Impact M3. I'll attempt to post some photos: 50 yard groups. 100 yards
