    O-ring help!

    My Air Arms 200T uses a BSA fill probe that was supplied with my Great White tank setup from Joe B. It worked perfectly for quite a lot of fills (200 maybe) but then a leak developed at the probe when filling. Home Depot had o-rings that look the same but don't stop the leak. They are: Danko...

    Ukrainian air gun

    Went to a web site based in the U.K. looking for knee riser for my AA200T and saw this: HORTITSIA – PCP Rifle [S]http://sureshot-airguns.co.uk/hortitsia-pcp-rifle/embed/ Looks like some very interesting air rifle offerings! First airguns I've seen from Ukraine. Wondering if anyone's tried...

    *quiet* high fpe air guns

    what's the highest fpe airgun out there that could still be thought of as quiet? i realize that quiet is a relative term so as a guide to possible answers for purposes of this discussion, let's consider-- - hyper sonic .22 lr is way too loud! - sub sonic .22 lr is too loud! - my .177 HW30 is...

    Spring Gun Tunes; Lincolnton, North Carolina

    Just thought I'd mention Rob Hawkins and the great work he's provided for my spring guns over the past several years. I highly recommend Rob for work on springers. He's tuned two Weihrauchs for me (an HW30S and an HW35) to near perfection. These two rifles are a pleasure to shoot since Rob...

    Good tuning results?

    I finally broke down and purchased a tank (a Great White with all the trimmings from Joe B) and having a source besides the Hill pump has enabled me to do some tuning on my AA200T (.177). The 200T shoots about 575fps out-of-the-box with it's most accurate pellet (H&N Match 8.18 gr) according to...

    How to degas an Air Arms (CZ) 200-- need advice

    Just acquired a Huma external type regulator as well as a replacement gage with quick-fill and I'm anxious to install them in the cylinder. Do I absolutely need a degassing tool or is there a safe alternative method to release the pressure from the cylinder? It currently has about 90 bar on...

    Biathlon style target

    Been meaning to point out a fun and well made reactive target from Devin Manufacturing. They make a biathlon style target box called the BT-100. It has five 35 mm target holes with covers that flip up when hit. It uses a cord reset, which has been replaced on mine by a chalk box without the...

    Anyone here have experience with the Diana P1000?

    Don't see this rifle mentioned here often. Wondering how it stacks up relative to other PCPs in the price range (ie: BSA r-10; AA S500; FX Whisper; etc). Anyone had experience with this one? Matt

    I'm calling BS on scope damage

    With over 1000 rounds from my springer (Weihrauch HW35) with an "unrated" scope (SWFA SS 10x42MMQ) and no ill effects, in fact no change at all, in the scope's performance, I'm ready to call BS on the whole "scope damage from springers" trope! Can anyone here please offer a first person example...

    What are some signs a scope has been damaged by a Springer?

    This came up in another thread so I started a new thread just for this question. Specifically what happens when a scope "breaks" as a result of shock from a spring piston air rifle? For those who may have experienced a scope that was damaged by a springer, what happens to the scope...

    Update: SWFA SS10x42 MMQ

    Thanks to members here I decided on this scope and so far it's been a really great choice. I seriously considered the MTC Connect but decided against it when the manufacturer replied to my email and recommended against mounting on a springer. The SWFA has seen over 500 shots on my Weihrauch...

    MTC Connect vs SWFA SS

    I'm starting a new thread to follow up on my previous one re: scope choice. Now comparing: http://mtcoptics.co.uk/products/riflescopes/connect/ Vs http://swfa.com/SWFA-SS-10x42M-Tactical-Riflescope-P53713.aspx These scopes are quite a bit different in features and design but about the same...

    Considering new glass: MTC Viper Connect -- 32 vs 24mm?

    I'm seriously considering one of Connect scopes. What are the advantages and disadvantages between the two versions of the scope? Seems to me the 32 might be a bit brighter in low light due to the larger objective. I read somewhere that the 24 may offer better depth of field and therefore...

    A report on a new AG purchase from overseas

    I was planning to write this for those who may be interested in my experience of buying from an overseas shop. I've procrastinated for a while, so here goes... Spring guns are still interesting to me, and I like classic designs-- in airguns as well as other stuff like houses, cars...

    Eight to eighty

    One thing I love about air guns and air gunning is the broad appeal. In the thread on pumping comments from early teens to late 70's really jumped out to me. It's great to be involved in something that's constantly evolving like airguns and can also continue to be an interesting pass time...

    Air-Chrony?

    Wondering if anyone has hands on experience with this device. Appears to be from a Czech company and comes in two versions-- one that connects to end of the barrel like a Combro and the other a shoot through type in what appears to be a metal box. The shoot though version looks to have the...

    Huben K1

    Anyone know if this thing is for real? Will we ever see them selling in the US? if so, I wonder if the technology (slide valve) will be ready for 'prime time' or if it will prove to be problematic. I like the design-- BP but with the bolt amidship like the Vulcan.
