    N/A Min. power required for pellet type

    The ad for the H&N Field Target Trophy Power .22, 14.66 gr., copper coated pellets (Features and Details) reads "For air pistols / rifles with a minimum muzzle energy of 18. 5 ft. lbs". I have been shooting these pellets in all of my .22 air pistols and they do not exceed 6 fpe. WTH?

    Crosman Steel Breech installation

    I made a mess of the hammer screw on my Crosman 1322 while installing a steel breach. Despite multiple warnings about stripping the Phillips screw. I ended up having to grind the screw head off. Surprisingly I did not have to drill out (easy-out) the whole screw. Once the head fell off, the...

    Stainless steel tube ID 4.5mm $8

    From a popular online Chinese catalog: "Outer diameter 12mm, ID 4.5mm, 20 cm hydraulic pipe round lathe chamfered 42CrMo seamless steel pipe. $7.73, free shipping." Would make a great 8" .177 barrel extension. Right? Wrong - waited two weeks and received a beautiful, crowned pistol barrel...

    New Crosman 2240 for $40

    Today is the last day of Amazon's "Prime Day". I was waiting for this event, hoping that Amazon would discount the 2240. They did. It was discounted to $45 but I ordered it with "frustration-free packaging" for $35. $40 total with Prime free shipping and taxes. I was tempted to buy a steel...

    Barrel extensions

    I am trying to extend the barrels of some of my CO2 pistols. I can't use metal tubing to extend 5.5" barrels to 10" because metal tubing is not rifled. But what if the tubing were placed before the original rifled barrel. Wouldn't the pellet start spinning just the same once it hit the final...

    Air cylinder sizes .177 vs. .22

    Do manufacturers of CO2 pistols increase the size of the air cylinder for larger caliber .22 guns?

    1322 Left-handed Steel Breech

    I am miffed that I cannot find a left-handed steel breech for my Crosman 1322, like the one they sell for the Diana Chaser. I am putting on a stock and a 19" barrel. I am told that you should reinforce the breech for the longer barrel. Anybody know of a left-handed breech for a 1322 pistol?

    Returning foreign-made Asscssories

    I got a real education about returning items purchased on Ebay, as I was shopping for a stock for my Crosman 1322. My first choice was the AR package from Buck Rail. But their key component - the AR lower was OOS. So I purchased a "special" aluminium stock from a firm in Germany for $54...

    Dead Powerlet

    A funny thing happened today. I was test firing a Gamo P-25 .177 that I have modified with an 11" barrel. I loaded a fresh Crosman Powerlet with no loss of gas. First shot nothing happened except for a hammer drop. Same for the second shot. When I ejected the cylinder it was dead - no hiss...

    For Use in PCP Rifles Only

    After acquiring five .177 blow-back pistols I have resolved to buy nothing but .22 airguns from now on. I have only fired a few .22 pellets so far but I was startled when I was loading some new magazines today. The H&N can of .22 21.14 gr pellets was marked "for use in PCP rifles only". I...

    New Diana Chaser rifle kit OOTB

    I received my new .22 DC rifle yesterday. Comes as a bare pistol and you need to mount the rifle parts manually. I assembled the rifle yesterday. The thick owner's manual contained no assembly instructions (in four languages!). The stock had to be forced onto the butt because the locking...

    Crossman 1322 rail

    I just received my first pumper pistol and I want to attach a red dot to it without losing the use of the nice iron sights. I have discovered that sights can help zero in a red dot attachment. What I need is a round barrel attachment with an offset rail. What I found instead is a round...

    Gamo P-85 and P-25

    In my research into Gamo pistols (I now have three) I discovered that the P-85 comes with an accessory rail under it's barrel but the P-25 does not (unless you buy the long-barreled version or the separate tactical kit for it). The blow-up mechanical diagrams for the two models shows them to be...

    Gamo p-25 magazine latch

    After reading multiple complaints about Gamo pistol magazines falling out I concluded that they were mostly new inexperienced shooters who had failed to seat their magazines properly. All of mine worked fine. But then I started buying up used and broken P-85s and P-25s. I acquired a broken...

    Reusing pellets

    I have wanted for some time to collect the used pellets from my indoor pistol range. It is simply constructed of a small cardboard box, a small fat pillow and a 2' x 1-1/2' metal serving tray. The tray backs up the pillow and the pillow backs up the shredded box side upon which a paper target is...

    Magazine malfunction

    I encountered a new problem with a blowback pistol today. I was testing out a used long-barrel Gomo PT-25 that I bought. Since Gamo no longer sells parts I am starting to think that it is cheaper just to purchase a used (or even new) gun and cannibalize it for parts. Anyway I noticed that one...

    Blowback pistol problems

    As with most cheap manufactured consumer items, multi-shot blowback replica air pistols (BBAPs) come with minimal instructions. These CO2-powered pistols are cleverly designed but are not by any means full-proof. This results in a lot of new users causing problems in their guns early on, then...

    Gamo pt-85 or 25 parts

    I need a used/junk Gamo pt-85 or 25 pistol or tactical version for parts. If you know where I can buy internal parts please let me know.

    Gamo pt-85 blowback CO2 disassembally

    I have gotten pretty skilled at disassembling blowback air pistols. But today I disassembled my Gamo pt-85 pistol and a spring fell off. If I had removed the spring myself I would know where to reassembled it. But now I have ended up with an extra part. It is part #23 - trigger bar spring...
