I just bought an Umarex airgun cleaning kit for my airguns. IMHO it's an odd collection of gadgets. There is a plastic handle that accepts the flexible cleaning rod and the included screwdriver bits, but the other end has a female brass threaded insert that fits nothing in the kit. Also...

I promised myself that six months after triple bypass surgery, when I was officially 100% healed, I would buy a break barrel rifle. (My other air rifles are CO2.) I chose a Benjamin Trail NP2 because the cocking effort is relatively low and it is highly rated. Since the scope that came with...

A few months ago I purchased a 12 gm. cylinder adapter for my Hammerli 850. I put in two cartridges, screwed on the brass cap fully (which I assumed punctured the cartridge tips), screwed the adapter into the air chamber port, pulled the trigger, and -- nothing happened. With the help of a...

I have had a small Crosman silhouette target for a number of years and have shot a variety of .177 and .22 pellets at it from a number of rifles and pistols. Previously, when I hit the ram/boar/turkey it wobbled around and returned to vertical. Yesterday I set the target at 30 yards and fired...

I own a Beeman HW 97 K rifle that requires 36 lbs. of cocking effort. I had bypass surgery about four months ago and now find it difficult to cock the rifle. I thought of getting a length of PVC pipe to "extend" the lever, making cocking easier. Has anybody done this or something similar? Is...

I'm replacing the 4 x 32 scope on my rifle with the same power, the difference being and adjustable objective lens (AO). My present scope's parallax is adjusted at 35 yards, which to me is way too far for an air rifle. I often shoot at 10 yards, sometimes 20, and there is definite crosshair...

Seasons greetings! Whenever I replace the CO2 cartridge in one of my guns I always put a drop of oil on the very tip of the cartridge. When I looked down the air chamber of one of my guns today I noticed that the o-ring surrounds the area where the tip is inserted. Should I put a drop of oil...

I believe that I have a pellet stuck behind the bolt in my Hammerli 850 AirMagnum. The bolt won't go back all the way in the slot -- about 1/4" short -- and the safety won't go all the way back. If I point the barrel down and tap forcibly on the receiver the obstruction moves forward (the bolt...

A possible problem has developed with my new Crosman 357 pistol. When I break open the barrel, insert the clip, and close it up there is a slight play between the barrel and the frame. As a result, there is a small gap between the clip and the gas outlet . Is this something to worry about? ...

I just bought a Crosman CR357 "revolver" that shoots both pellets and BBs. Why would I ever want to shoot the latter? They may be cheaper than pellets, but pellets are not expensive. Wouldn't the steel BBs wear down the rifling and be less accurate? I just can't figure out why they even...

Happy post-Thanksgiving! I have removed both iron sights from the barrel of my Hammerli 850 Air Magnum.22 caliber rifle and installed a 4 x 32 scope. Does anybody know the size of the screws that held the sights on and where I can get grub screws of that size? Thanks for you reply.

I had triple bypass cardiac surgery about two months ago. To my surprise I was affected mentally as well as physically post-surgery. Of course I had to stay at home almost all the time (except for appointments) so I decided that one of the things that I should do was to setup a target stand at...

I just bought a Hammerli 850 AirMagnum rifle (and love it). I have since ordered a compensator so I can shoot it in my yard without disturbing the neighbors. Is it necessary to remove the factory sights to install this accessories?
