    Have you ever had...

    I mean.... isn't that essentially why everyone and their grandmother owns a Red Ryder BB gun? Its essentially a piece of junk, but nostalgic for most, and why go through the trouble of selling something you aren't going to get anything for.... but then when was the last time you did anything...

    Why I’m a fanatic about index marks

    So I dunno anything about wave washers but I'm wondering if a rubber o-ring or 2 could give you the tension you need to keep your moderator from walking. That's what I use with the protective cap on the threaded barrel of my pistol. Another potentially helpful hack could be using "ranger...

    How to simplify .....

    TREE RATS ARE OUT AGAIN

    It's funny. I live in the country, outside Dallas, Texas. When I lived in the city, there were tons of squirrels. Out here in the country, I barely see them. Something about all the predatory raptors, etc. Same with rabbits. In the city, you couldn't hardly keep flowers in your yard because the...

    Teach 'em young?

    I teach my kids using a simple Benjamin pump I've owned since a child. Anything in the .177 pellet range will work fine. Getting them familiar with the 4 rules of gun safety, and basic manual of arms of the rifle you're working with is certainly [IMHO] the way to start. The trouble is, that kind...

    Do we need a Budget Shooter Section?

    I would like to see a sub $500 airgun section as "budget". Its hard to get people into a sport where barrier to entry is potentially so high. What are your favorite brands in terms of quality for lower end guns?
