    Old & New Beeman Field Target Specials

    Marksman had put a considerable amount of stress on Beeman by offerring high grade pellets at a lower price than the standard offering from Beeman which was adequate but not really asking for the Premium grade. I had written an AMMO article for Guns & Ammo around 1987 which pointed out the...

    magnum rated scopes

    The stand outs to me are the two brands that are made at the same factory in China. Centerpoint is the Crosman badge and Leapers/UTG/Accushot are the house badges. They learned to make very good scopes because they were selling them to a Japanese Co that was fraudulently marking them "made in...

    Old & New Beeman Field Target Specials

    Marksman was the one that originally labelled the H&N FTT as the Field Target Special and Imported the pellet to the USA from H&N. SR Industries owned Marksman as a subsidiary before they purchased the Beeman Precision Co. They had planned to discontinue the product after the Beeman acquisition...

    fire arm scope vs pellet gun scope

    Two things an AG scope needs. Focus to a reasonably close range. I'd say 25 Yards minimum but 10 yards is better. The focusing error created by different eye positions behind a scope that is NOT focused on the distance being shot will make a lot of airguns seem a lot less accurate than they can...

    Scope Rings for Springers (re: TimmyMac's comments)

    To confuse the issue RWS has called every mount they ever carried, that gave any adjustability/compensation, a C-Mount. So the older C-Mounts that the rings attached to the base via a single screw (the ring can rotate around) is the subject of my Ranting. By looking at the current offering is is...

    ....4500psi Carbon Fiber tank question.....

    There is some good info in this thread. Carbon Fiber Tanks that have 800 PSI reg output can have the Reg swapped out to the Ninja 4500 in 3K out Reg. I think that is a better approach then defeating the reg and going wide open. I agree that the Ninja 90 without a reg output gauge is not a good...

    Scope Rings for Springers (re: TimmyMac's comments)

    If the scope rings are connected to the base by a single screw the mount is rubbish on a springer IMO. The RWS C-Mount was engineered by a non-engineer. It has bent every scope tube that it was ever trusted to clamp to a springer. I know the salesman that designed it. It is the worst design that...

    HW97 tuner in the US

    Best Parts are made by V-Mach in the UK. Same as the legendary Venom Parts. Steve Pope is the V-Mach proprietor and was mentored by Ivan Hancock. Jim Maccari makes some very good parts as well. If it was mine I would take the cylinder and piston out of the gun and send it to V-Mach for the work...

    Marauder Pressure Gauge

    Fortunately Crosman has addressed the Gauge issues. They had two problems. They read a little or a lot over the real pressure and they were prone to leakage. There is a new gauge on the Production guns and they seem very consistent. It appears it is a different maker and/or toolingt. The guage...

    Scope Rings for Springers (re: TimmyMac's comments)

    What happens in the real world is the split ring set is invariably only stopped by the rear stop hole and Rear mount. All the thrusting loads wioll be on that mount alone and the tube with the front ring will pack back and lean the rear mount aft and transfer the thrust loads to an angular force...

    FX mounts

    It depends on the application. I would never use the FX rings on a Spring gun. The way they rotate around a mounting point would put the structural stresses through the Scopes Tubing. For a Recoiless or nearly recoiless gun that wouldn't be a problem but a Spring gun needs a One piece mount and...
