    need help with Williams FP-ag-tk

    I'm in agreement with YO on this one. For the quick, easy and free solution, I'd bend the barrel. My basement stairs don't have risers, just treads. For barrel bending, I just stick the barrel in between two stair treads and bend to the desired amount, shoot it and do more if needed. start out...

    What Chrony to Replace the One I Killed

    I have been looking at chronographs lately and finally decided on a ProChrono. On the Competition Electronics website, they have recently discontinued the Prochrono Digital. It looks like they replaced it with something called the Prohrono LTD. does anyone know how the new LTD model differs...

    Sportsmatch rings arrester pin backing out on my HW50

    maybe this is a side tangent but: on my diana 48- i woulda had to use shims or an adjustable mount to keep the scope happily within its adjustments. Instead, I decided to bend the barrel to meet the optically centered scope. it worked out so well that i have since bent a couple other barrels...

    Sportsmatch rings arrester pin backing out on my HW50

    You know what, I've never actually used 2 piece mounts on a spring gun. From the get go, I read a couple things that lead me to only trust one piece mounts(specifically the high end sportsmatch ones). something about 2 piece mounts not aligning with one another, which can torque the scope in a...

    Sportsmatch rings arrester pin backing out on my HW50

    It looks like you may have resolved your stop pin issue. But, I thought I'd say this: I've had sports match 1 piece scope mounts on my hw50s (and even my diana 48!) with no movement issues ever, and thats WITHOUT using the stop pin. Could it be that your dove tail was not clean of all...

    Rings for hw50 to keep open sights

    I use Sportsmatch op25c (medium height) on my hw50s. The best in my book. this mount comes with a stop pin if needed but I've never needed the stop pin. its never budged! also, i would think its more important to prioritize the scope height according to your ability of seeing through the...

    Words I Hate

    I "hate" any negative word used by someone to describe a rifle that they have never actually fired, held or otherwise seen in real life. People talk down on rifles they have no experience with. I very much appreciate the opinions(words) of those who have hands on experience with which they...

    The Lifecycle of an Air Gunner

    if you invest in the good stuff for other hobbies like RC cars or say... audiophile stereo systems, you probably try to maintain that same level of quality in air gunning(or what ever the hobby). i think of my weihrauchs to be on par with my vintage fisher 400 tube stereo receiver. high quality...

    The Lifecycle of an Air Gunner

    not just addictive for the one owner of the air rifle. ive got several friends that have become avid plinkers just being around my addiction. I am glad I'm just a springer guy. I know my self, I have an addictive personality. I've got about 1500 vinyl records (and counting) to prove...

    Tune kits for hw50s

    Fear not, if you're a confident problem solver and have general knowledge of mechanics, the hw50s is a breeze. I'm no pro and I home tuned my hw50s with out any problems. I took it apart(without a spring compressor) cleaned, deburred and polished everything. Added lube and molly where needed...

    Grandma, let us know what you think of the Diana 430l after you've spent some time with it. That is an interesting rifle if you ask me.

    Where do you go?

    I shoot in my backyard. 18 yards max. My neighbors are very close, but they all like me. i dont shoot anything very loud. i have a diana 48 which is loud but it doesnt get used much. the smaller german springers are fairly quiet. if my neighbors had loud air rifles, i wouldnt like it either. ...

    Close range hunting pistol.

    I ordered a Crosman 1377 for just that purpose, direct through their custom shop on the Crosman website. I went with the steel breech and 14" lothar walther barrel. put on a shoulder stock and a scope, it can't miss. I have NOT had the need to change or modify the 1377. my yard is no more...

    AEAC Video - JSB Match Diabolo Pellets - FACTORY TOUR

    That was great! You asked all the right questions and I loved the myth busting. No more guessing when it comes to JSB vs Air Arms. Just buy whats most cost effective.
