    This has four pieces - both ends and two in the middle. Used very little, no dings. Didn't cause any POI shift at all so no clipping. MSRP is about $125 plus shipping, now $75 in the CONUS including shipping. Paypal only, I'll pay the fee. Contact me via PM. Thanks!

    WTS - UTG Bugbuster 3-9 x 32 SOLD

    This scope is 6 months old, like new, not a mark on it. It was mounted on a HW50s for a short time. Mil-dot reticle. Includes sun shade, flip up end caps, rings, all original packaging. I can't get photobucket to work for some reason but will email or text a photo to you if you PM me with...

    Extreme Spread on a new professionally tuned HW50s

    What would be considered an acceptable ES on 10 shots using JSB 8.44g for this gun? Will it settle in to a lower ES after a break-in period? If so, how many shots until you'd consider it broken in? FPE is running right at 10 which I think is normal. Thanks for any info!

    DIY tank carrier

    A few months ago I bought a "Great White" from Joe B. at airtanksforsale.com. I didn't want to spend an extra $100 for their protector/carrier which looked to me like it was worth about $10. So I put one together from scraps laying around the workroom for $0. Yeah, it might look a bit ghetto...

    Marauder magazine insertion problem - Solved!

    Ever since I picked up a used gen 1 Mrod, magazines are hard to insert into the breech. When cocked, the tip of the pellet probe sticks out about 1mm from the breech block and prevents the mag from sliding in, even with pressure on the mag. What I have to do is partially insert the mag, pull...

    Who has an FX Streamline .177?

    And if you do, what fpe are you getting at the different power levels? And what pellet and fps? The only thing I can find online says "up to 18fpe" which I assume would be on level 3. I'd like to hear some feedback from owners on this. Thanks!

    New .22 Streamline Laminate

    After a 2 month wait, I received my new FX Streamline and today I put about 70 pellets through it. I tried 2 different weights of JSBs - 15.89g and 18.13g. Rather than explaining the results, most of the info is on the one photo below. I paired the gun with a Leupold 3-9x33 (1" tube) and I...

    FX Streamline moderator thread size?

    The current Streamlines aren't coming with any moderator sections at all. Does anyone know what threads (including male or female) are required if I pick up an aftermarket LDC? Thanks!

    How to decide what size pellet sizer is needed

    JSB 10.34g has a head size of 4.48mm and skirt about 4.55mm. The sizers I'm considering come in six sizes: 4.48, 4.49, 4.50, 4.51, 4.52, and 4.53. The pellets would be used in a Gen 1 Marauder .177. .177" = 4.496mm but I don't know how exact the barrel ID is. I'm guessing I'd want to go...

    WTS - Beeman/Theoben SLR98 .22 Caliber SOLD

    I'm the original owner of this gun and it's in EX+ condition. This is a fixed barrel, under lever, gas ram gun with a beautiful walnut stock with checkering. It includes the original 7 shot rotary magazine and 1" scope rings but not the scope. It has recently been resealed and totally gone...

    FX stackable moderators

    I just ordered a new Streamline and I know it comes with two moderator sections. I've read some negative opinions about these and am wondering if it's because of aesthetics or function. I don't know if I'll think I need more noise reduction, but if I do I'll need to decide whether to buy...

    Getting into PCP and some Marauder questions

    I have some experience with springers, SSP, and gas piston guns but I'm thinking about getting my first PCP airgun. I don't want to spend huge bucks right away until I figure out if this is something I want to devote more time to. But I've done enough reading to decide that a big CF tank...

    Which brands/models of PCPs are truly regulated

    I asked about regulation at a local airgun dealer and got kind of a waffley answer. Something along the lines that there are different types of regulation. My question is which brands/models have actual pressure regulators that give a level shot string, delivering the exact same amount of air...

    FWB 601 pellet and mv questions

    Does anyone have experience with the FWB 600 - 603 series? I'm wondering what the expected MV should be with various weight pellets? Any preferences for grain wt. or brand? Thanks!

    FX gas cylinders questions

    I've noticed that the 400 .22 Royale comes with a 450cc CF bottle while the 500 .25 Royale and the Boss .30 come with 500cc aluminum ones. I'm guessing the CF bottle is more expensive than the aluminum ones but the msrp of the guns don't seem to reflect that. This seems a little odd to me...

    video needed for seal replacement in an RWS 45 or similar

    I have a new piston seal for my RWS 45 and would like to find a youtube video describing the disassembly of a break barrel springer before I attempt it. I've searched for a video describing the process but can't find much. Does anyone have a link or two to share? Thanks!

    FWB 300s v. FWB 600

    I've done some online searching and can't find anything comparing the power mechanisms on these two guns. I know the 600 followed the 300 in 1984 and that both shoot similar fps. Are the mechanisms significantly different? Does one require more frequent or difficult maintenance than the...
