    Tuning What are your go-to mods for budget PCP's?

    Hey y'all, I want to create a "one-stop shop" for go-to PCP mods that people have used to reliably increase the performance of their PCP's. I'd like the focus to be budget PCP's and modifications that don't necessarily rely on aftermarket support. I have spent an absurd amount of time searching...

    How to repair dent in stock?

    Hey homies, During a shipping mishap, my precious lefty Air Arms TX200 sustained a number of small but very noticeable dents to the walnut stock. Is there any sort of quick trick for removing these? I have heard that boiling water works? I tried the search function but didn't turn up anything...

    Tuning Effect of Plenum Size?

    Hey homies, I'm wondering if we can get a thread concisely explaining what the advantages/disadvantages are of having a larger plenum? I'll be doing some experimentation with my Air Arms rifles after the competitive season ends and this will likely be an area that I delve into. Aside from the...

    Hi y'all, I have an M3 with the 800mm tensioned barrel. I'd like to change from the tensioned barrel to just a standard shroud. Is there a shroud available for the 800mm barrel? I can't find one for the life of me at UA or anywhere else... Much appreciated. Nico

    An Evening with the Pro Elite

    The Pyramyd Air Cup is fast approaching so I've begun practicing for the Piston Gunslynger event again. Last year, I decided to make the move from my beloved Russ Best tuned Beeman R10 in .20 to a .22 Air Arms Pro Elite. When I acquired the PE, I'm pretty sure it had the original piston seal in...

    Best Barrel Sleeve Material?

    Hi Y'all, When talking about sleeving barrels (i.e. epoxying a sleeve to the barrel to make it stiffer), what is the "best material"? I'm particularly concerned about exacerbating any temperature sensitivity. I know carbon fiber is the go to, but is there any particular reason why that is...

    Shooting a Springer...for Dummies

    Hi Y'all, Since so many new airgunners are frustrated by the lack of accuracy they get out of their springers, I wrote an article for the American Airgunner blog detailing why the specific hold matters so much when shooting a springer. There's also a pretty stark demonstration of hold...

    Hi Y'all, I'm looking for a carbon fiber shroud for my AA S510. I can't find anyone who makes them straight up, so does anybody have a recommendation as to who could make a custom CF shroud? Or am I missing anyone who sells them? Nic
