    Who can install a vortex tune kit

    I'm interested in getting Vortex tune kit put in my Diana Model 48. Does anyone know of a company that can provide the kit and install it.

    Does a silencer do any good on a springer?

    I got to wondering. Would a silencer on the end of a springer do any good, or are springers loud by their nature? Seems to me like the noise I hear is the mechanism inside the springer working. All my PCPs have DonnyFL silencers on them and they really work and make the PCP quieter. Thanks...

    Luring in English house sparrows - what's a good seed to use?

    I've decided to try to do my share to reduce the number of English House Sparrows in my area. Currently, I fill the majority of my tube feeders with Black Oil Sunflower seeds and have a lot of song birds eat and enjoy watching them, but few house sparrows visit. I've read that they prefer to...

    Tuning Found out why my p-rod's gauge was leaking, news to me.

    Yep, I found out why my p-rod's gauge was leaking, and it was news to me. Hi all. A little while ago I started a thread about how my new Benjamin Marauder pistol was not holding air overnight. Several recommended that I remove the gauge, apply some teflon thread sealer tape, and I did. And...

    P-rod got stronger as air pressure decreased, go figure.

    Hi all, I was shooting my Crosman .22 cal 1322 pistol over my Caldwell Precision chrony, when I decided to shoot my Benjamin Marauder .22 pistol over it, too. On my 1322, I was curious about fps vs number of pumps. The max number of pumps I gave it was 12. The pellets I was shooting weighed...

    Got some chronograph numbers for my new Crosman 1322 pistols.

    Hi all. I bought two .22 cal Crosman 1322 pistols and shot one of them through my Caldwell Precision Chronograph. I bought two so I could cut and shorten one's add-on shoulder stock for my 7-year old grandson. I used my Dremel to cut and epoxy to put it back together. The short stock worked...

    DIY - Making a shorter stock for a Crosman 1322

    Hi all. Yesterday, my wife (grandmama) and me (papa) were invited out to my son's house for supper I took my Crosman 1322 pistol out there with us. I have a stock on it, so it's actually a carbine. It fits my wife, daughter-in--law, son and myself perfectly, but not my little 7 year old...

    FX Chronograph vs Caldwell Precision Chronograph - FX was always slower.

    Well, I was looking for any excuse to do some shooting today and figured I'd shoot my new .22 Benjamin Marauder pistol (P-rod) with my FX chronograph hanging on the barrel at the same time I shot over my Caldwell Precision Chronograph. As some may know, the new P-rod is a replacement for one...

    Are springers not good at being .25 caliber?

    I was looking at getting a Weihrauch HW77K springer in .25 caliber but was warned off, so I got scared and passed on what may have been good deal. Are stringers not good in .25 cal?

    The .177 Avenger mag is the same as the .177 m-rod mag.

    You all may know this - I didn't. I was shooting my Air Venturi .177 Avenger today and kept telling myself, "These Avenger magazines sure like the mags that my .177 Benjamin Marauder takes". So, I loaded up an M-rod mag and stuck it in the Avenger. The fit was perfect, so was the cycling, it...

    Glad I bought my p-rod from Amazon - it is leaking.

    Every time I aired up my brand new .22 Benjamin Marauder pistol to 3000 psi, and shot it, it was good. Then, when I wanted to shoot it a few hours later, the air pressure inside had always fallen to around 1000 psi and today (after sitting overnight) it was sitting on zero! Obviously, the gun...

    Open sights / iron sights for a Benjamin Marauder

    I hate it that my m-rod and p-rod don't have open / iron sights on them. I like my scopes, but it's also fun to shoot with plain old sights. Does anyone know if there are any after-market open sight kits for m-rods and p-rods? Bobby

    Here's my new wood stock Venturi .25 Avenger - with pictures.

    Well, shipping was fast. I ordered the Avenger from Airgun Depot on Apr 26th and it arrived today, Apr 28th - not bad at all. As you can see, my .25 Avenger is the one with a wooden stock. I hung it from my bow scale and it weighs 6.2 lbs, as you see it. I have a Hawke 4-12x40 scope I'll be...

    Simple question about oiling my Air Venturi Nomad II compressor.

    I've always added 3-4 drops of silicon oil into the oiling port when the time was right and then returned the Nomad to an upright position (that places the oiling port on the side). After I added oil today, I thought, "Why not leave it on its side, with the oiling port up, so that gravity would...

    Labradar on the way.

    After weeks of debating I bit the bullet and bought a Labradar Chrony, along with the microphone trigger and SD Card.

    My new P-Rod arrived today, sure do like it!

    Man, this Benjamin Marauder Air Pistol is NICE!. Slapped on a 3-9x40 Hawke Vantage AO scope. I tool the scope off one of my other air rifle to see how I liked in on the p-rod. I liked it just fine. To check zero, I shot it at a 10-yard target and the pellet hit an inch to the left of the red...

    Buck Rail 3-D Printed Silencers DIDN'T work on my 1322 and 1377 Crosman Pistols

    I was looking to add quietness to my Crosman 1377 and 1322 pistols and came across some 3-D printed silencers made by Buck Rail, that didn't cost a lot. So, I bought two 3-D printed silencers. Each one came in two pieces, something to fit onto the end of the barrel, and then the silencer...

    What a relief, my FX Royale 400 finally got to AoA

    My Royale stopped shooting, so I sent it to Airguns of Arizona for repair. I bought it from them in Feb of 2017. It shipped out from Columbus, Ga via USPS, on Mar 1, 2021. USPS tracking said I should arrive on 3/8 - it didn't. I filed a claim. After checking today, I found that it had...

    Scope recommendation for .22 Benjamin Marauder Pistol

    I have a new .22 Benjamin Marauder Pistol arriving Thursday and was wondering what scope you p-rod shooters have on your pistols. I have 3-9x40 Hawke Vantage scopes on my air rifles, but wasn't sure how one would work on a pistol. Reckon they're too large? I'm a target shooter. Max range in...
