Gave future SIL his rifle Christmas Day. Mounted Athlon Talos 4-12 x 40, which lasted 2 shots before reticle turned 45 degrees. Brand new scope. Not happy. So, didn’t get to test accuracy much as we’d like but was very good with the stock sights. Easy cocking for a gun that makes this much...

Ran some pellets across chrono. AA 7.33 about 620 FPS. AA 7.87 around 600. AA 8.4 around 570. Good accuracy with all, all a little north of 6 FPE. Wanted to test some wadcutters. Grabbed some 8.2 Meisters. 450 FPS. 460 FPS. Thought the spring had broken. Nope. Put AA domes back in and it does...

Part 1: Wanted another vintage target rifle so Kim and I could shoot them together. Stumbled on this, turns out seller lives in Austin. Met him halfway. Super nice guy. Sounds like he’s a friend of a couple y’all miscreants 😁. Excellent shape cosmetically. Came in original box with the original...

Been looking for one for a bit after hearing everyone else rave about how much they like shooting theirs. Matter of fact, some of y’all probably owe me money! I’ll set up a GoFundMe 😉. Stumbled on this one. LH stock it’s in is beech but RH looks to be walnut. Bonus. Came with 20 or so front...

Saw a few mentions of the cocking lever breaking on early MK1 HW77s and since I’m already doing all this with only 9 fingers decided to replace mine. What the best way to remove the pin with the flared ends? Would assume just drill one side but if there’s a better way let me know. Thanks.

Got this a few weeks ago and posted a few pics. Kim bought me the FWB 124 as a birthday present. Two days later a member here who knew I was looking for a MK1 HW77 let me know there was one on the giant auction site. There were actually two. One I considered offering the guy $25 and a ham...

Listing for LH Diana 75. Only issue is there’s eBay listing with several of same photos and asking $200 more than AA listing. Contacted eBay seller and he says has let eBay know, so I suspect AA listing ain’t right. Just a head’s up. I don’t know how to let AA know so posting here.

Thought this was interesting. Kim’s HW50S started shotgunning a little last weekend so I ran over chrono today to see what we could see. Turns out she had switched back to the JSB 13.43 from the H&N FTT I told her were better in her gun. The JSB were easier for her to load. So: Thought we had a...

Kim and I ordered each other twin .22 1300KT for our anniversary. Basically a 1322 with long steel breech. Decided to try their 2x pistol scope. Mistake on so many levels, including the eye relief being too long for the way I’m going to support and shoot. Anyone have recommendation for a compact...

Put our 2240XL carbines outside in shade this morning to acclimate for a bit. Put Crosman CO2 carts out with them. Hot, was already 90+. Put carts in, pierced them. Loaded a pellet into mine, cocked and fired, pellet didn’t come out. Sounded like when you’re almost out of CO2. Fired several more...

Diana 52 Luxus, TO5 trigger. Accuracy was a little off so I shot today to see if I could find anything obvious. Shot a few pellets, cocked to shoot another but it didn’t cock all the way, safety didn’t reset. Didn’t realize it until I loaded a pellet and it didn’t fire. Finally got it to cock...

Any of you HW experts seen this before? Extreme spread was too great so I took it apart and found this. No metal in the gun, compression tube looks great, all the other internals look great. The gouges are 180 degrees opposite each other and are perfectly round except for the big missing chunk...

Just came in today. Gun in good shape cosmetically. Philippine made Bushnell and some unlabeled adjustable droop mount. Chrono printout I got has it making just over 9 FPE with JSB Exact 10.34. Shot some H&N FTT through it. Trigger is excellent. Shot surprisingly well considering the reticle is...

Patron saint of quirky PCP guns here. My .22 Maximathor needed a playmate so I took a risk on this Logun MK2 Professional in .22 from AoA. Came to me empty. Can’t get it to fill using FX fill probe which is what AoA said it needed. Does anyone know if this is the correct fill probe? I know a lot...

This is the second Xmas rifle I bought to replace the Air King Pro that arrived with the broken stock. That whole deal worked out better than I could have imagined. Much thanks to AGN member MP44 for parting with this one. Had time to test fire 5 pellets through it, very smooth. Looking forward...

Well, my initial Xmas present to myself was going to be a red lam 54 Air King Pro, but that was thwarted when it arrived with a broken stock. Started looking around for other guns I wanted and ended up getting two. This is the first, courtesy of our very own Lewis. Great guy to deal with. Had...

Christmas present Kim gave me early. Winchester Model 435, date code of 12 68. Actually, I asked her to take it out and inspect to be sure it wasn’t damaged in shipping and she said, “Just open it” ha! It was advertised as "immaculate" in "unfired condition". Neat gun with incredible workmanship...

Black tar. Clear tar. Moly paste. Tune in a Tube. Krytox. Probably another 20 I haven’t heard of. I’ve pretty much decided against the use of black tar on my springs in favor of moly. And I assume moly for ARH or Vortek piston seal. ARH recommended using clear tar for the cocking lever pivots...

My 52 started throwing fliers Sunday and chrono has it down 40 FPS and 1+ FPE from 2 weeks ago. Considering a rebuild but would like to test breach seal if possible. Any way to do this with a side lever? I can’t imagine the tissue test works with the breech covered by the slide?

Buddy of mine has his dad’s Crosman 140 and wants to rebuild and restore it. Have seen several rebuild kits and wondering if anyone here has recommendations on one they’ve used. Going to do all the seals and pump cap also so a kit with everything would be nice. Thanks.
