    Lead-free HUNTING pellets/slugs?

    I don’t want to fill my yard with lead anymore. Been using Baracuda Greens in my .25 for general rodent / pest control. However, they just lack the OOMPH and terminal ballistics of a swaged lead slug. Is there a .25 lead-free HUNTING ammo with a surplus of OOMPH?

    Yongheng Auto Shutoff not activating

    Ive had my yongheng for around 5 years, it has an automatic shutoff feature, but a few weeks ago the auto shutoff stopped working. Fortunately the burst disc saved the compressor. I’ve confirmed the compressor overruns by setting it to 2000psi, then running the pump and manually shutting it...

    .25 Marauder High Capacity Magazine

    NEED ADVICE: Culling Nutria

    I’ve been enlisted to help cull a nuisance population of Nutria. This is a new species for me. I’ll be using a .25 Benjamin Armada. I have no experience with these animals, and I’m not a fan of the “inhuman tuition” style of learning as I go. Can they see red light? What’s the ideal...

    .25 Non-Toxic Hunting ammo

    For pest control, my city now requires use of “non-toxic” ammo, so lead is now out of the question. I prefer slug ammo, is there anyone who makes non-toxic hollow points for small game?

    Is there anything like the Drozd?

    So I saw the Drozd blackbird now has mods up to 4000 rpm. BRRRRT. I immediately edorkulated. But the Drozd is so hard to come by. Is there anything else that compares to it these days? Jonny wants big brrrrt brrrrt

    Well, I finally caved and bought it…

    After months of fighting the urge to purchase an FX Impact, I shelled out a cool $37.99 and bought a Crosman 760 BB gun instead. AND, I paid for that real good shipping, too. Its okay to be jealous, y’all.

    Hammer spring vs hammer throw

    I’m having a difficult time trying to pick apart the difference between tweaking the hammer spring versus the throw length. Like, if I could only adjust one of them, what would happen if I only tightened the spring? Or only increased the hammer throw? As far as I can tell, tightening the...

    Gamo Swarm jam

    Shockingly, the Gamo Swarm Whisper I’m working on for a friend has jammed. I was not expecting this to happen, given it’s excellent reputation as a reliable platform. It is a multiple pellet jam, trying to think of the best way to clear it. My cleaning rod is too big to fit (there’s a...

    My Next Gun Should Be a….

    For the last few years I have exclusively used a .25 Benjamin Armada, and I love it. At least, I used to love it until I got co-opted to work a pest control job culling muscovy ducks, and I am now acutely aware of its limitations. 1. I went through multiple cycles of tuning and tweaking...

    Left vs Right Rifling: Difference?

    When using left-hand rifling, does it feel like you’re cheating on the right hand? But seriously, what’s the difference? Windage?

    Gamo Swarm - Missing O Ring?

    A friend of mine bought a brand new .177 Gamo Swarm, and is complaining it is substantially weaker than his other Gamo guns. I figured that sounded like a bad/missing seal. Ive had break barrel Gamos, but it has been a few years since I’ve touched a break barrel. When I break it open, I...

    Are there “adjustment friendly” Armada stocks?

    I have a Benjamin Armada. I love it until I want to adjust it. It gets old fast, breaking it down, removing the stock, making adjustments, then putting it all back together. Ive considered drilling a hole in the stock just to allow for velocity pin adjustment, but then that begs the...

    Slug barrels for .25 Armada

    InB4: Yes, I could theoretically shoot lighter ammo, but I don’t want to. I want to shoot big fat slugs. ——————— So, I love my NSA slugs, I have a .25 Armada, but these 55gr NSA fat boys do not go into the breach easily. Not at all. I gotta jimmy, jiggle, jam, and push the bolt to get...

    High Penetration ammo for .25?

    I am using a Benjamin Armada, and need a high penetration ammo for the upcoming weeks. It has been a long time since I have ammo shopped, as I’ve used swaged slugs the last few years. However, I now need something with more pokey pokey stabby power than hollowpoint slugs. Anyone got...

    Me vs Inner Me

    While working on my Armada, i removed the shroud and suppressors so the barrel was unsupressed. Me: I should probably put the shroud and suppressor back on. Inner Me: You’ve never heard this gun unsuppressed before. Five years is long enough. Me: 🤔 Inner Me: 😇 My ears:🤕🤕 No more...
