I'd like community input on essential accessories, maintenance gear, repair parts, best pellets, and anything else you'd tell someone new to air rifles. I’m assuming that parts will become increasingly long-term unavailable due to socio-economic conditions in the next weeks to months (stated: 9-17-2022).
What else would you like a noob to know about owning air guns, especially higher end air guns and accessories? My main reason for purchasing was to have a “fun” gun with a lot of uniqueness but also potential for use in a survivalist style emergency.
I got a little overexcited and impulsively purchased the following equipment. I’d appreciate any kind of feedback, even a "yay" or "nay" about any of this equipment. I’m especially ignorant when it comes to when it comes to the tank and compressor.
I'm hopeful your advice can help the next future air gun enthusiast. Thanks.
