I prefer .177.
Besides energy out to 40 yds does the .20 or .22 offer additional advantages.
Which caliber tends to have the flatest projectory.
Shouldn't the lighter .177 be less affected by gravity?

Is yours the multi-pump pneumatic B45-3? If so, I have only seen the two web sights listing the gun for sale at 69 pounds. Is it that widely available over there?
What kind of sights? Dovetails for scope mounting? Any plastic in the construction? How many pumps max? How sturdy is the pump mechanism? Just how good IS the Italian stock? How long is the rifle? Stock from butt to trigger? Barrel length? How many grooves in the rifling? Trigger pull heavy or light? Trigger capable of tweaking -- honing and lubing sear -- for lighter pull? How sturdy is the multi-shot loading mechanism? What is the type or nature of the bolt? pull lever or twist and pull bolt?
I had a Benjamin 392 tweaked to go from 695 to about 850 ft/sec with no problems. I am intrigued by the technical challenge of trying to do this one.

In Reply to: Daisy Model 45 posted by Ed B on August 22, 2000 at 03:05:00:
I just recieved one yesterday in trade for slot car tires (I get quite a few airguns that way). I got a pristine Daisy 45 which had not been fired much, along with it's official Daisy pistol case and some spare magazines.
How's the trigger? Pretty bad. But it is a design issue.
It has a very stiff and long travel, pretty much the same in both single and double action modes. The reason for this is because in both modes, the trigger also feeds the pellet. Pulling the trigger first moves the pellet shuttle down in line with the bore, then releases the sear.
The only difference between D/A and S/A modes in trigger pull feel is the hammer cocking. But once your pulled the feed mechanism, the hammer cocking is nothing. S/A on the Daisy 45 is about like D/A on a Crosman 1008.
That said; The 45 is well made. It has a metal frame (plastic slide though), pretty solid mechanism (aside from the trigger/feed system), and a great feel to it.
Although another quirk is that the magazine is designed to feed Daisy W/C pellets only. In fact, the magazine won't even accept many other pellets.
I got it to feed GECOs, but this makes the trigger a little more stiff than it already is. The "revolver" design on most auto-lookalikes is a more versitile mechanism.
A two hand hold at 18 feet was yielding mostly 1"-1.5" groups...but with flyers out to 3" at times.
The Crosman 1008 is a better shooter, the Daisy 45 is a better looker and has a better feel. The 1008 and C40 feel odd in my hand.
The best pistol from Daisy in the 90's in my opinion was the Raven 500. Although a single shot .177 pellet, it looked like a Beretta. Shoots very well.
If you already have a nice shooting auto-lookalike, then the Daisy 45 is a fun gun and a good looker. If it's going to be your only pellet pistol, you might want look harder at Crosmans, Colts, Umarex, or RWS.

If it is just a debris in your tube causing the powerlette to jam, then a little tap on the rear of the gun holding it tip down should do the trick. If by some odd chance that you damaged the tubes integrity, then a more aggresive form of removal would be required. The easiest is with a drill bit. Drill it in and then pull it out. If that does not work then a long screw or bolt. Just torque it in and pull it out with a set of pliers or vise grips. If all else fails you can take the gun apart, remove the valve assembly, and punch it out.

If you are not the one shooting, you will find that the noise is a lot worse. Even CO2 can be unpleasantly loud if you are not directly behind the gun, especially if you get close from the side.

Dunno about performance in springers, but my Sheridan likes the new ones better than the old. In fact, it shoots them better than anything else I have at the moment.
A couple of these guys think you are talking about the diabolo pellets, but if I read you right, you are talking about the redesigned cylindricals (which aren't so cylindrical any more). They don't look anything like premiers, or even much like any other pellet I've seen, but they do, I suppose, look more like a conventional pellet than the old cylindricals in that they have a waist--albeit not much of one.

Another question to ask; where did the "Premier" name come from?
At Crosman, Bob Holtz was in complete charge of developing the Field-Target-pellet project (which came about when a local Crosman salesrep noticed that at a southern Calif. Field Target competition the winner was a shooter using regular Crosman round head pellets).
Bob also got the job of naming it. Among other things, Bob collects old shotgun-shell boxes. To find the name, he took out his collection and looked over those shells that were the premium brands. One of nicest of these was named "Premiers." Sounded right so he went with it. Sharp-eyed shooter will have also noticed that the Crosman logo on the Premiers box is essentially the same as that used on the old cardboard Super Pell boxes from the 30s and 40s. Bob wanted a touch of the old Crosman Arms company in this product that he had put so much of himself into. Seems to have given it a bit of luck too.

I started out exclusively shooting CPs. They are great in the gun. I then shot about 700 domed pellets. They work pretty good. I am going to embark on a big venture. I am going to shoot up all of my different types .22 cal pellets to #1 give me more space and #2 find the ultimate pellet. I personally think that probably every pellet will function good, but now well in the gun.

The total removal of the rust is most important. The tips already given are good to get the rust off. After that the next most important thing is to totally degrease the area. Alcohol 91% does a very good job of this. Each of the cold blues mentioned will work. The composition of the steel will determine which one will work best. Another very good one is 44/40. After the desired color is reached RINSE the affected area with water to neutralize the action of the cold blue. If you don't do this the area WILL rust again. Dry and apply a good oil to the area.

I have one of these guns with the supposed Italian woodwork. It is acceptably accurate (3/4" groups at 25 yds), but only moderately powerful (about 9 ft lbs). However at £35.00 ($50 -ish) in UK discount outlets, it is spectacular value for money. The price suggests it is a toy, but it certainly isn't.
Like other Chinese guns I have seen, the quality of the metal is perhaps open to doubt, and I think that uprating the gun might shorten it's life, and perhaps make it unsafe (the trigger is a very basic sear and block, already showing signs of wear on mine despite careful maintenance)
If you do go for it, I'd like to hear about it, however!

It depends on the gun. An article in US Airgun was quite complimentary of the new Sheridans. There was a new Sheridan pellet brought out by Benjamin/Sheridan's present owner Crosman. The narrow part of the waist was more midships than on a Premier, Copperhead, or B/S .177 or .22 dome. The tester used a .20 R1. Other pellets outshot the new and old Sheridans. This is the old issue by the way, with the pre-Crosman Benjamin ans Sheridan on the cover. I think you can still get back issues. I don't know if the new Sheridan pellet is still made or if they went to the same design as the Premier, Copperhead or B/S, but just in .20. As far as the comparison my 2 esteemed colleagues made, at least in .22, the B/S dome and Copperhead(they're the same) have minutely different dimensions than the Premier, at least according to Airgun World. It all depends on the gun. My .177 R9 only eats Premiers. My RWS36 slightly preferred Crosman Copperhead Points to Premiers. Both broke springs eventually. I doubt it was the pellets' fault. My Benjamin 312(1967) seems to slightly prefer B/S Domes to Premiers and would prefer old Ben. HC's if clean ones were cheap and plentiful. Obviously pump-ups, PCP's and CO2's can't break springs.

Might be something for you to consider if you want a little more power and want to stick with .22. As Swinson said the JM R-9 Tks are suppose to be the master in .22 R-9s but JM quit tuning just as I was in the market for another spring gun or I would have bought the TK.

AIM is kinda neat for two reasons:
1. It's free, all you need is Internet access.
Go to aol.com and download the software.
2. You can include in your Buddy List both AIM users

Buddy List, and see him. If you have someone's AOL
E-mail address, you have his AOL screen name.
If you're an AOL user, you can also use the AIM
software and your AOL screen name ... or pick a new
AIM name.
You can also use voice on AIM. All you need is a
sound card, microphone, etc. for your computer.
It uses .WAV files, but works great. Handy if you
don't type fast/well. When you make a voice or
file/image connection, it really is a direct
connection to the other person. I've had those
AIM connections survive when every other Internet

One last thing, AIM is about the most stable software
I use. Therefore, I always use their Beta version
in order to have the latest features. Oh, and in
terms of modern software packages, it's pretty small.

I posted a question on TF guns and the overwhelming response was to get the B-18 or B-21 from Funsupply. Well I ordered a B-18 in .22 from James on Thursday and I got the gun today as promised. First let me tell you what I was looking for: a quiet, powerful, accurate airgun for pest control in my backyard. I have fruit trees that keeps getting raided by various critters.
I last owned an airgun 16 years ago...a low powered B$$man springer and a sheridan blue streak that I loved. I learned to hunt with those and it's carried over well to my firearms.
My first impression was that the B-18 is robust and rough around the edges. FWB and the finer airgun manufacturers will have nothing to fear from the Chinese guns. But I was looking for function and performance only, not beauty.
I fired about a 100 rounds so far and was very pleasantly surprised at the low noise. I live in a very quiet neighborhood and the dogs nearby bark at the sound of my quiet airsoft guns. None of them barked at the sound of my B-18.
The gun is shooting very acceptable groups with cheapo open sites and it's not broken in yet. The trigger has a lot of creep but I'm sure it will settle with wear. It seems noticably more powerful than my beloved sheridan. Damn I have another week before my scope arrives.
Gotta say thanks for the advice all and James at Funsupply, I really like this gun.

I play airsoft and it's a blast. I quit playing p-ball because I was tired of the attitudes but airsoft is very different. The guns are generally around $300 to $1000 or more but ammo is cheap. The guns shoot around 300 fps stock or up to 400 fps or more upgraded. Most people frown on getting above 450 fps cause it can cause some real pain. The pellets are only .2 gms so they have very little inertia. The full auto guns do shoot at 800 rpm and are surprisingly accurate. Yes you use p-ball goggles and a mask is recommended.

A drop of pellgun oil on the breach seal every once in a while would be a good idea.
Wipe down the bore with lube-1 after shooting or use lubed pellets.

I use Crosman pellgun oil on my P-3.
I put a drop on the pivot points about every 6 tins of pellets or every 6 months.
I also use a couple of drops on the piston seal. To do this you open the gun fully and put the drops on the exposed piston. Wipe a drop around on it and put a couple on the end by the chamber tube. You can prop the gun up over night to let the lube work down into the seal area.
I have had my P-3 since March 1999 with no problems.
Great all-purpose air pistol. I use mine for plinking, 10m target shooting and hunting grasshoppers.

is cost an item, if not then a good PCP with a pump will work very nicely.
Daystate and Falcon are very good quality guns, make sure it also comes with a good regulator, they also come with a skeleltil stocks. another nice thing is that there are many very nice assesories. stick with 22cal
The reason for the pump is it's easer to lug around than a tank.
You'll also have a wider choise of scopes to choose from.

and the Biathlon is also marketed by Marksman here under the same model shown on your website. The Laserhawk are nothing more than toys so don't waste your hard earned money on them unless you want to consider the Biathlon trainer. Now, about the chinese stuff, SMK is not a manufacturer they just slap a sticker on stuff made by someone else, Beeman does the same here for Herman Weihrauch and Theoben line of airguns and of course that means you end up paying more. A close example would be what Hull Cartridge does to you guys over there with the Diana/RWS airguns. Anyway, your chinese B3 can be made to fire at FAC level simply by buying a replacement spring. www.funsupply.com and www.compasseco.com sell spring kits that will make your chinese guns very hard hitting (compasseco also has Maccari springs which are very good quality, get those above all). Simply email them and see if they ship overseas, if not let me know and I'll see if we can get you what you need.
One thing the Brits have done is to market cheap chinese guns with better furniture than the model found here fo course I am talking about the shape and not necessarily better word but visually it makes them more appealing.
Enough for now.

Hello all QB78(77)rifle owners and all forum readers. My name is Tom Zablocki and I live in Santa Barbara, California.
I'm relativelly new to the forum. I'm the one about whom Uncle Gary has posted such a nice letter regarding my QB78 stock work. Thank you Uncle Gary and thank you all, who saw the pictures of my stock and gave me good reviews.
I was and still am considering of making this stock for those QB78 owners, who would like to have one, in this European Classic Style, but my main concern was to prove that is possible to improve not only the performance of this rifle (a few of you have done it successfully already), but also the look of it. It also proves that the average guy, like myself, can do it without spending a fortune for a new stock made from exotic wood, etc., but just using the existing factory stock and some basic tools.
Some of this factory stocks got a nice wood, and are thick enough for carving, so it is worth to try it. And the rifle QB78 fully deserves it.
For those who would like to see my QB78 rifle stock my E-mail address is: marevaintl@home.com.
Send me an E-mail and I will send you a picture

Red box B/S Diablos are not as accurate in my '71 Sheridan CB as the yellow box Cylindricals are. I haven't shot any CP's however I did have an old white box of CopperHead Domed pellets that were very accurate in my rifle. At distances of 40 yards or more the Diablos are not as affected by wind as the Cylindricals. Various Beeman pellets I've shot in it aren't as accurate as the Cylindricals and the ones with ridges on the nose like Silver Bears are hard to load because the ridges hang up on the entrance of the chamber. Silver Bears sure do shoot fast though!

Aren't there some rules as to the distance for certain kill zones? I mean 1/2 at 50 seems pretty small for most shooters? To me it seems a lot of the elite guys are burying new guys with lesser rigs in the dirt and may be excluding people.
Yeah no doubt you need a $3000 rig if some of the expected shots are a 1/2 at 50. No fun for the guy with the r-9 and 18x scope. Just a thought.

Jerry,
I have the Leupold you are asking about on a Pro Sport. It's a great scope and when I get the chance hope to use that rifle/scope combo in a FT match. However for hunting, I recommend that you look at the Leupold VariX III 4.5-14x50 AO scope. I have one on a PE and that combo is just about my favorite hunting rig. It is not advertised as an EFR, however it focuses down to airgun ranges nevertheless. Cost of the two Leupolds is similar. I bought mine from D&R at the same time and have been very satisified with them both. Optics are much brighter than most of my other scopes with the possible exception of a Burris. HTH

ok well ive definitly been gone for a while, probly over a month... well heres the story.. it all started back in the day... late july, decided to play football... begining of august, actualy did play, last saturday (WAS starting TE and 2nd team ILB, buuut things change), first real scrimage... annnd like the fool i am, i took a cheap shot on a kid im not to fond of.. and one thing lead to another, i hit him overly hard for a scrimage, except he slipped right before i hit him, so my left thumb went into his facemask right before i hit him, and a second later i collided knocking him almost off his feet but with my thumb as the only thing seperating us... not smart at all... soo a torn 'yada yada' ligament and a broken thumb.. i dont remember the exact word for the exact ligament or bone but all i know is its very inconveniencing... soo i got a cast and continued to play, missing only 1 day of practice(shucks, i know only 1 day) well here it is, 1 week after the injury and a pulled muscle in the very top of my foot.. so i said forget it and i dropped everything today.. sooo here i am, 7 days before i get my license, my car has been cleaned multiple times.. awaiting the day of aug 29 to come.. its been so slooow... but but only 7 more days, im so stoked, and whats better is my gf gets hers friday so i finally have a ride once more, only for 4 days but thats beside the point... ok well long story short, ive gotten out of all airguns for the time being, i cant shoot a rifle with this 'nub' as they call it and the massive cast which covers my wrist as well(dont ask why) soo i can still shoot an airpistol i suppose, but no time anymore seeing as how i NEEd a job to pay for my car... and well i suppoooose that i could always find time, but i dont think that will happen, maybe sometime in september ill sell all my guns... dunno yet tho, its a hard decision, but i just figured id come back here for kicks and tell all yall whereve i been and a farewell for now... ok thanks for reading to this point, take it easy, dont shoot the skunks

Yeah, you can do something like that. Actually, you can have it verified in writing from the dealer that it has been modified to less than 500 f.p.s. Make SURE that it is well below that limit with a light pellet. What you do with the gun once it is home is your business (wink wink, nudge nudge, you know what I mean?), and the Firearms Bureau. This could open up a real can of worms if you modify it later, as it would be a firearm and have to be registered by 2003. Food for thought. Good luck, Brent.

In Reply to: Does Perma Blue Paste really work on rust spots??? posted by Jason Lowe on August 21, 2000 at 20:19:20:
Jason: the rust must be removed to bare metal, in order for bluing to work properly. I've found Oxpho Blue paste to work much better than Perma Blue. To remove the rust especially if it's 'dusty' rust and not really pitted, is with XXXX superfine steel wool soaked with WD-40 or penetrating oil. VERY lightly work the wet wool around the rust, then wipe of and oil the metal. With light rust, sometimes a cotton cloth with oil will also remove it if the metal is gently scrubbed. RB

Hello !
Is there a way to get a +500 fps air rifle shipped to Canada without a FAC ? Could it be possible to get a US customer to buy it, to cut a part of the spring, and to send it in Canada, with a label written on : modified air rifle for Canadian safety issues ? (which the customs could actually verify with a chronograph), and then get shipped, from the company or the same person, an original spring and/or piston+seal, as "replacement parts" ? Could that be a possible way to circumvent (sp) this law, that is, IMHO, a terrible POS and plague for us, Canadian customers ?
Thanks a lot for your comments/ideas/rants,

I had what was supposed to be a Ken Reeves tune on a gun. Just for kicks I took it apart, looked like factory parts and some tar (lots of tar). Not saying it was really his tune BUT if it was it was really just a grease and go, lube and screw type of tune. The only thing that was different was the guide and that was WAY out spec (too small AND not concentric)

They are shooting "Air Soft" guns. The guns can range from $30 up to several hundred for the fancy ones. The plastic pellets are not traveling very fast, I think it's about 350fps or so. The don't make plastic pellets for this type of shooting in .177 that I know of. Protection would probably be the same as Paintball, masks being the most important. Last time I bought a paintball mask it was about $45. I don't know how much the ammo is but it can be reused. Check out a Shotgun News or Gun List for dealers and costs for guns and ammo.

If you can afford it I would get the Leupold. I've got a couple, one on my TX200 and the other on my Pro-Elite. Both have been tuned for hunting and the scopes are rock solid with excellent optics. The B&L is a fine scope but I don't know if it would stand up to the recoil of a HW80. It probably will but I have no experience with them on springers.
Talking about results. any one have the results of the Michigan shoot yesterday? It was my first F/T match to shoot in. got 99/120, and I'm very happy.

Slow velocity, hard to cock, old-style "upright" ergonomics. The release valve tends to get leaky, and there are not too many places to get one of these fixed anymore (Neal Johnson, couple of others maybe). There were two models, plain LP2 has standard sporter-type grips, only the LP2 Match has adjustable target grips. The later LP3/LP3M is basically the same gun except for details. Extremely beautiful and well-made, but IMHO these older Walthers are more collectibles than shooters at this point in time.

You might want to think about a 20 cal. especially if you are going to hunt rabbits and squirrels. Maximum range is really 40 to 45 yards. You can shoot further but the cripple rate goes up. I shoot Benjamin Sheridan cylindricals in my tuned R9. They are a little heavy, but at $8.00 for 500 they are a buy! Oh! buy a Banner or Trophy scope. Your looking at a great rifle IMO.
In Reply to: Re: .20 Career posted by JS on August 21, 2000 at 10:46:11:
When Marty got his .25, he didn't really know what to expect, was simply hoping for the best. Well it turned out that he absolutely fell head over heels in love with his .25 Career! Absolutely dotes on it! If you haven't seen the Airgun Hunting in the Northwest video sold by Tony Kojis of ASk, you're really missing something. The RX-1 (.20) with Crow Mag pellet took ground squirrels cleanly with authority out to 60 yards. Two rockchucks (big critters) were taken with chest shots (one at 20 and another at around 35 yards! Others were easily clobbered with brain pan shots. A couple pigeons were absolutely clobbered at around 40 yards, not to mention a couple of large rattlesnakes. 24 kills in all. The Crow Mag .20 pellet is the deadliest pellet there is per ft.lb. of impact energy this side of the .25. The other day, I shot into a bar of soap with a .20 Crow Mag at 12ft.lbs. and an H-Point (.22) which I have proven to myself is the deadliest .22 pellet per ft.lb. (tissue destruction-wise). Well, even with the smaller pellet spotting the larger 3ft.lbs. (chronographed BTW), darned if the .20 Crow Mag didn't outdo it destruction-wise. The H-Point, as always, was very impressive but the Crow Mag was simply more impressive! Keep us posted on your testing. Looking forward to your posts! ----- Mr.P
I am looking for a .177 airgun for plinking and the occasional squirrel or bird. Mainly plinking or informal target shooting. Is the R-9 a good choice.

Geeze!! This is awesome power. Earlier this week I downed 4 squirrels with 5 shots. I think the follow up shot just settled what was left of the little fellers nerves. I am pushing around 900 fps with the 28 gr round nose. Three of the downed squirrels were taken with head shots. Mysteriously I hit in the same spot. Go figure?? I hit just above the jaw and into the CNS. The last squirrel died with a quickness as I shot just under his mouth and the pellet severed his spine. I murdered about 40 sparrows that day and to day it was around something like 65. This combination although over kill rakes extreme havic on a sparrow body. The time to swich over is coming soon. I really miss having more shots per fill and filling the magazine with 10 instead of 6 pellets. Later Dutch

If you haven't heard about them neither have I, nevertheless before PCP became wildly popular he was making powerful large bore airguns and all apparently without the need for the hi-press tubes. If Mr. G rifles don't need high psi to shoot why aren't pcp rifles made to push more lead with less pressure? from a hunting stand point I only need two shots not 90 on a single charge. Perhaps guns would be more affordable as well.

I shot a very small FT match with John Whiscombe yesterday (among a few others).Actually tied him for 2nd place,(Rodney says 2nd is like kissing your sister,but Rodney ain't seen my sister! LOL) so I will take it. This was nearly a last minute type of match so I won't go into details on it. I shot Johns gun on the practice range and was grouping as well with it as I was the ZM. He said it was shooting 7.9's @ 1025.Very calm and smooth! I forgot the # designation on it,but it was a 2 stoker and side lever fixed barrel loading(Steyr?) system.Mike Boyle please e me. see you all..... Anthony ps Brad Troyer beat John and I out by 3 to take top honors.
Over the past couple of months the Matte has been unavaible as Swift was out of the Matte finish and I only received less than half of my stocking order on the last go around. And have been out of the Matte Black finish for over two months. Well I decided that since they were splitting up the availibility between dealers the last go around, I would order twice as many as what I needed and get what I really wanted, right?, well guess what, I got ALL of them lol. So if you were waiting on the Matte finish, or thinking about getting one of the 676M 4-12x scopes PLEASE DO !! Inventory overload. Marty

JRW: Started about 2-3 years ago, upgrading from my RWS 24 to a Pro Elite. Quite a difference. Still can't shoot springers very well although depends on the gun and setting. Offhand shooting it doesn't matter which gun, as I suck with all of them. My favorite light weight spring gun is the R-7 with a Swift 4x12 and Maccari tune kit, and favorite heavy is the R-1 FTK with a Weaver V-16. While I love the lightweight rifles, I shoot more accurately with the heavyweights. Thats my story and I'm sticking to it. Sloop

In Reply to: Why does it take a 3000 psi to launch a 7.9 pellet posted by X on August 21, 2000 at 12:45:16:
The actual pressure the pellet gun is about half the 3000 psi. The high pressure is just allows a lot of gas to be stored. By the time the pellet exits the barrel the pressure is probably down to 300 psi. Heck with a 6-foot long barrel you might get a pellet to go 755 yards with 300 psi pressure. In high-powered firearms the initial pressure can run 30,000 psi, in some really hot loads 45,000 but things start to stretch or break at those pressures! Mike

If you think that's something...check out paintball guns a lot of reall y cheap parts to do some really cool stuff! Actually it only takes about aobut 1800 psi... the 3000 psi is just fill pressure...but there's a lot more to it than that. heck some of the "old school" guns do it with even less, a method that Gary barnes is fond of.

A Career 707 is homely...bordering upon downright ugly. But I finally broke down and got one. I shot my Career for the first real trials on Saturday and Sunday out at the wooded area we go to. Okay, it is not quite as ugly today as it was Saturday. Functional beauty has an attraction all it's own. Jack BTW- I am not about to give up my CO2 guns though, they are still fun!
but under 300 psi to launch a potato 500 yards for under $20.00? My point here: Heck I could probably thread a .22 Walther-Lothar barrel and see how much farther a pellet goes in a spud gun? and my airrifle woulnd'nt be as heavy or hard to handle as some airguns currently out there for "mucho mas dinero" I don't mind having to recharge for each shot as they sell cheap air compressors that are cordless for under $50.00 So in theory I have an "airgun" that's more lethal than any Career, Theoben, or BSA combined!

Steve, Ya might want to be a little careful with the old muzzeloader. I was just thinkin about the same problem when I dumped my trap the other day. Don't get me wrong. I was thinkin about castin the lead into conicals myself. I am wonderin if this is pure lead or if it has antimony (sp) in it. If it is pure lead, no problem. Maybe someone on the list has the answer. I don't want to contaminate my lead with the pellet lead if it's not pure. In either case you sure can cast fishing weights with it. Gary

Hi, guys ... and gals! I saw a neat product advertised and I want to share it with y'all. However, a similar cheek-rest (comb riser) is available from an outfit called Bear Tooth Products.

It does not come in various sizes, but comes with several inserts to adjust its height. It comes in Black, Brown, and various cammo patterns. Anyway, you might wanna' take a peek.

With my pellet traps. I have 2, one is plexi-glass filled with calking and the other is a 50 caliber ammo canister. With the calking it just gets stuck, iwth the ammo can it mushrooms and bounces off but leaves the little pellets behind. I sweep them up and keep them in a coffee can. When I get my mold for muzzle loader I will just melt them. You can just put them in a coffee can and take them to your local recycle center and put them in with the other coffee cans since they just melt them anyway.

There are a lot of pellet distributers who don't put the weight of their pellets on the tin. I say distributers because there seems to be maybe five factories that make most of the pellets we find for sale in the US. It seems that most Beeman's are by H&N, Daisy by Gamo, RWS by Dynamit Nobel, etc. Crosman, CopperHead and Benjamin/Sheridan are made by Crosman. Except for Crosman most don't have their weights on the tin. I shoot lots of Daisy wadcutters (Gamo Match) and find them to be completely acceptable for plinking and fun shooting.

Would like to find out as much as possible about SMK. SMK makes the multi-pump pneumatic designated b45-3. Rifle advertised as .177 12 shot repeater (for what real utility that is on a multi-pump!) There are two websights for the rifle being sold by English companies. Claims to have an Italian-made stock. Being sold in England, I'm sure that it will have the 12 ft/lb limitation mandated by law. Wondering about the liklihood of being able to trick out the rifle for higher power? Disappointed that there were so few responses to the post on this rifle yesterday.

In Reply to: Hunting rifle selection prob. posted by Craig on August 21, 2000 at 00:18:49:
IMHO the only real choice, out of the models you have listed, is the sm1000. The TF 99 is not shipping as of yet, and has been delayed for several months for one reason or another... The gamo was delayed in production for more than 2 years for QC and saftey issues, was finally released a couple of months ago, and has since been recalled, again for saftey issues... The sm1000 has been around for a while, and while some of the earlier incarnations did have there own quarks, it seems as though that most of the problems it did have, have been addressed in the production process, and it remains probably the best Chinese spring gun currently in production. The gun is big, and it is heavy, but it is also decently powerful, and does have several tune options available out in the market place...

A few days ago a nice guy named Tom Zablocki from Santa Barbera emailed me asking my opinion of his QB-78 stock which he'd redone. Boys, it's really nice! I was so taken with it that after studying the picture, I got out the wood rasps, Dremel, and finish sander and started hacking up my QB-22 stock. After a few hours of old fashioned elbow grease; Voila! Mine looks just like his now! Well, it should, because I copied it! His design has a worked in pistol grip, and a thinned forend with snauble tip. I've always like the look of classic European stocks, so I was quite taken with it. A while back Chavez told me the QB stocks had some nice wood under all that shiny finish, and he was right. After stripping mine down and sanding it, I has as pretty a piece of Phillipine Mahogany as I've seen, and well worth the effort. Here's the deal: Tom didn't want to post his stock pic because of the recent acrimony between AirMonkey and Tim, but I've got the gif of the stock so if you want to see it, email me. I honestly don't know if Tom redoes QB stocks, or if this was just a one-off that he wanted to show us. I promised to post the pic along with his text on a couple of websites, just to show how far you could take the QB factory stock, and will do so later. If you like the stock, thank him, not me; he's the one who came up with it. Cheers!

Greetings! Bot fly or blow fly or calliphorid flesh fly only affects the "hide". They live in a little pocket in the skin and irritate the area with little hairs on their bodies. The mammal skin produces secretions to protect the area from irritation. The larvae eat these secretions. You will remove the parasites by skinning the animal. The meat is unaffected. You are more in danger from the fleas and ticks and lice that may live in the fur. Remember to wear your skinning gloves. I once took 19 "maggots" out of the neck of a box turtle. The little buggers live for days in 100% ethyl alcohol. The turtle recovered and went on its way.

What happens if a person wearing a helmet gets thrown off the bike and hits his head on the grass? He might as well be hitting concrete! How do I know? It happened to me. Hurt like a b*tch too. Come to think of it, maybe THAT'S why my head don't work right... Okay, pellet guns: I think everything has a certain amount of risk. We have (or some of us have) parents who follow the age-old "You'll shoot your eye out!" doctorine, and refuse to allow pellet guns in the house. They're unsafe, right? Well, some of these same parents will drive a minivan (not manuverable, unstable design) talking on a cell phone (very unsafe in a car) whilst possible driving over the speed limit (illegal) or maybe smoking a cigarette (causes cancer, second hand smoke, kills you). Now tell me: Who makes more sense in this argument? The kid who wants the gun, or the parent putting both their lives in danger? Okay. I'm gonna shut up now. -Zero the Inestimable

Hello, I own a 12 FAC in .20 CAL. For hunting it's a very nice gun, lots of power, flat trajectory and accurate. The accuracy listed in the specs at the Theoben website (1,5 inch at 50 yards if I remember correctly) are for real, even smaller groups can be realistic. I am thinking to buy a Daystate CRX FAC. Also very expensive but regulated and a nice trigger. Greetings and have fun

If you want to know the weight of the pellets you are shooting, buy pellets that are sold with their weight marked on them. I'm actually trying to be helpful with this post, even though it sounds pretty smart aleck. Reasoning is that if a company doesn't care enough to weigh the pellets and stamp the weight on the tins, you are fooling yourself that they care enough to make the pellets consistent. Therefore, anything you are trying to calculate using the pellet weight is probably a waste due to the inconsistency of the pellets...

Hi Pete, Just thought I'd run this by you in case you didn't happen to know this already. Seeing as how you're a fellow Canuck, I just wanted to let you know that changing your HW-45 from .22 into .177 has some legal "complications". It goes from a sub-500 unregulated piece of metal *to* a Restricted firearm. (Requiring it to be registered, as well as needing an Authorization Permit to take it to the Range you MUST have joined to shoot it at.) I'm not trying to "scare" ya or anything like that. ( Our fine Gov't is doing more than enough in that regard.) Just though you should know that some pretty crappy consequences can result from such a conversion. My .22 HW-45 is way too much fun to stay locked up in a safe and only used at the Range. -Gerry

I go to my campsite and shoot all weekend. I shoot both airguns and firearms. What made me a good wingshot was going to a cornfield with a small trashcan of shotshell reloads and shooting starlings and crows from all angles and distances. Shooting airguns and rimfires at cans on a string at 200' +- is sure to improve your marksmanship. Taking kids out hunting year-round species like starlings and red squirrel is lots of fun and keeps your skills sharp. Some of my best times are chasing red squirrels from tree to tree with young shooters until we finaly bag them.
I can't believe I didn't do this sooner, but I measured the diameter of the bolt-pellet probe. Turns out its .125" (1/8")! Now that's fat! So I cut it down to .072" (I actually only wanted to go to .075" -- oh well). With my stronger hammer spring the performance leveled out at about 12 pumps. Now I've got another 2 pumps and about another 5% increase in penetration (no chrony availible). So if someone wants to repeat this experiment I'd love to hear about the results. E-mail them please -- I might miss the post.

Actually Greg, if it's a 990 you really DON't need a scope like the Swift that is rated for spring-piston airguns! I'd suggest a Simmons .22 Mag rimfire scope for it. They are parallax corrected for 50 yards, are good quality, and you can get a 3-9X32 variable for about $50. I think this would work out fine on this rifle for you.

Check the cocking lever linkage and make sure it isn't bent Vlad. If it is, you should be able to straighten it enough for it to be okay. I would caution anyone with an underlever NEVER to let go of the cocking lever before it is fully cocked! This can damage an HW-77 or 97 so badly you'll have to send it back to the factory to get it repaired! Cheers!

I am looking to read experiences from real airgunners.I want to know how long you have been into this hobby and what are your favorite gun/pellet/scope combos.More than those things,I would like to know how long it took you to become what you would consider good.Do you shoot single hole groups all the time?Do you have mixed groups?What is your favorite part of airgunning-tuning and tinkering with the gun,FT shooting,hunting,match pistols,etc.?I have only been shooting for three months.I have presently one gun-a spring piston .177.I'll have a recoilless 22 before the week is up.I shoot between 75 and 100 pellets per day at paper targets 15 to 18 yards away.Sometimes I get really good groups less than 3/4" and sometimes I shoot 3" groups.My favorite part of airgunning is hunting ground squirrels.I manage to bag about 40% of the greydiggers I shoot at.That is only counting the ones that don't make it back to their hole. I'm looking forward to becoming a better shooter.I practice focusing on relaxing as I squeeze the trigger and try to shoot the same way every shot.No matter how hard I try still get strays about 1 to 2 inches off target 20% of the time.I'd like to read your suggestions to help me improve.What helped you improve the most?I know I'm asking for a ton of info.I also can see that a few a you spend a lot of time reading and replying to these messages.So I'm certain many of you have time to write a sentence or two.Please take a minute or so to respond.It will be well appreciated.

In Reply to: Muzzle Brakes, Barrel Band Sling Swivels and Accuracy?? posted by Marcus on August 20, 2000 at 21:18:00:
I've used a sling attchd to the barrel of my RWS36, M16A1 & A2's, a Winc. 9422 and of course my present .177 R9. I engaged a crow at 50yds w/ my RWS36 and using a tight sling to steady my aim. The shot went high and right. Subsequent testing revealed that this was the result of the tight sling. The high and right impact was unexpected, considering the fact that I'm right handed and that one would have expected the sling to perhaps flex the breech lock-up down. I've also noticed that using tight slings on M16's tends to spread my groups. The sling swivel is attached to the barrel on issue M16's. In a related story I saw a picture of a competition black powder slug gun. The shooter reports that his sling swivel can negatively affect accuracy. Since his barrel appears to be 3" thick I doubt it's flexing. Recent developments with tunable barrel weights like the Browning BOSS and the Vortek device would make me think that what's going on is that anything you hang on a barrel will affect its harmonic vibrations and therefore its point of impact. Hard accessories like muzzle weights and brakes or silencers or sling swivels can be adjusted for. As far as using a sling to steady the aim goes, I still use them, but avoid them if possible. If it's a choice between wobbly aim or using the sling, use the sling, but with just enough pressure to make it taught. Do not use the tight, circulation restricting sling you would use with a rifle whose barrel floats and on which the sling attchs to the forend.In combat matches with the M16, in which we run or change positions rapidly during our course of fire, sling support is indispensible, as long as only light-moderate pressure is used. When you mt your frt swivel on your R9, put it as close to the breech as possible, but test it before you tighten it. Make sure the swivel and sling don't interfere with cocking the barrel. On mine, the swivel obscures the first numbers of the SN. BW

Drip some Crosman oil down the gas tube. Charge up the gun and fire it and then keep on rapidly firing it. With any luck, the combination will work the oil into the valve seal and start it working again. Otherwise, you can get it serviced for not very much.

I usually recommend going with a CO2 gun for youths. There is the the added safety factor of the parents being able to control the power source (ie the powerlets) of the gun without having to control access to the gun itself. This pretty much insures that the gun will only be used under adult supervision. Crosman makes several models that should work okay and not bust the budget.

Fellow Airgunners, Some years ago a bunch of my friends (a number of Vietnam vets) and I, instituted an alarm system which boiled down to issuing "Boring Alerts". The purpose of these "alerts" was to de-rail topics of conversation which had little chance of going anywhere of consequence. Some of the subject matter here recently, makes me nostalgic for my old "Boring Alert" era. IMHO, there is nothing more likely to drive away potential new recruits to this group, than to re-hash years old history.

In Reply to: What is a good ballistic putty substitute for a pellet trap? (nt) posted by dscott on August 19, 2000 at 23:34:12:
I have tried many substitutes (floral clay, plumbers putty, etc.) and none of them really worked. I am now using Rockwell Sealant, 555 for Rockwell Permaturn Valves. This is very similar to ductseal. I found a couple of 5 pound boxes in a dumpster once and tried them out of curiousity, and they work fine. I doubt if you could find them locally or cheaply. I mention it for two reasons: One, it proves there is a substitute. Two, I looked up the MSDS, and it turns out there are only two ingredients, kaolin and vegetable oil. Kaolin is a type of clay. So, if for some reason ductseal isn't available in your area, try some home recipes. Finding clay should be easy near any hobby or art supply store, and vegetable oil in the supermarket. Anybody know what ductseal is made of? I bet it isn't much different.

Shooting glasses,BBs,pellets and targets at a good price around $40 or $50 . Remember saftey is very important, especially with young shooters!.
Has anybody previously owned or used a Gamo 4x20 AG scope? If so, how do you like it? I am thinking about taking off the scope that came with the TF 38 and putting on the Gamo. Would that be a good idea? Also, would a laser sight be able to be used on a .22 cal TF 38? Or would it be to hard to keep the beam steady because of the weight of the gun? Thank you. CE

It seems my 9-year-old son has finally caught on to my interest in air guns. I'd like to introduce him to the sport with something light and relatively inexpensive. The trusty ol' Daisy BBgun is a thought, but I'd prefer to avoid the "Ralphie, you'll shoot your eye" argument with wifey. So what's the collective wisdom: is there a lightweight, youth pellet gun for around $50 I could start him at, or should I go the BB gun route? Thanks for the advice.
Well I was out for 2 days had to paint the house in the catskills and in my spare 3 - 4 hours I rode teh quad and fished and hunted a bit. Well we caught 1 fourteen inch trout and a 9 incher. Then by the house there was bite marks on the shed like something bit on it . Ok now I ask what might have done it. Rabbits said the guy who brought wood. So I did see a rabbit not 20 feet from the shed which caused me more painting. Fwooob goes the sheridian and down the rabbit. Nice one about 4 pounds very big . Then I saw something moving on the neck. Oh no , not to me , not my luck!!! Damn!! It was a botfly!! I can't belive it , I kept wanting to show my dad that website of the squirrel but he said," Your sister saw it and almost puked so I don't want to see it." He worked in a lab where they take dog hearts and test stuff on them so why wouldn't he want to see a squirrel? Are these things common? We just cut the front fo the rabbit off and kept the rest. So are they common in New York?
I have a HW45 in .22 Cal. and wonder if I can fit a .177 barrel to it. The barrel looks to be a push fit into the cocking lever at the front and is held in by two screws and a small plate at the rear. Has anyone ever done this? Thanks in advance for any help!

I respect people who don't ask for it. Let me tell you about my friend "Joe." "Joe" (that is what I called him as I couldn't pronounce his Montanyard name. He called me "Di we" (the Vietnamese word for Captain as he could read the rank on my flight suit.) was 9 years old (I'll have to take his word for this as I have no way of knowing.) He spent his 'carefree' days watching out for his 2 year old brother and goofing around with the various "GI's" that would pass through his "home town" (a Montanyard village in the Central Highlands of Viet Nam. Joe liked "Beanie Wienies" heated over JP4 (jet fuel - used in the Helicopters that we flew.) I didn't, but I thought it was better hot with kerosene than cold right out of the can. So I was always willing to "share" with Joe (he could have it) and we had some long talks which I think that he enjoyed as much as I did. Joe thought that living in a war zone in the Central Highlands of Viet Nam was the best of all possible lives for a 9 year old - he really did! I know his father was dead (he told me that his father was a hero to the tribe and what he had done) and I am not sure about his mother as all I ever met was his Grandmother who would come looking for him and his brother on occasion. As far as I know Joe had one of the hardest lives that I could possibly think of and though he was alive in October of 1971 I have no way of knowing whether he is alive today (the odds were not in his favor!) And yet I choose to believe that he probably is still alive and what ever he is doing it is probably exciting and he thinks that it is the best possible life for a person in his circumstances. When you talk about respect for young people - No! I don't have any respect for any of the 15 year olds that I know in the US today. Most have a long way to go. But, for one 9 year old - a long time ago and in a far away place. Yes! Jim P.

I think items such as this are ok to import as long as they are not made of some endangered animal. At one time I could walk down the road with a sword strapped to my back (not that I had any need to or ever did) and there was nothing anyone could do about it. It is not a concealed weapon to be certain. If you take the sword out and brandish it, it becomes a weapon. Knives can be carried as long as they are in a sheath. Knives carried concealed can be mistaken for weapons quite easily. If you tell the officer you carry the item for self defense, anything can be deemed a weapon occording to the RCMP. I would contact your local Customs Canada officer. Up until a few weeks ago I thought it was ok to import a non-FAC required pellet gun but now my perspective has certainly changed.

The recoil is different because of the extra weight. The cocking effort MIGHT be a little less because the heavy barrel sleeve may work to reduce effort, otherwise, they are the same internally/ Piston, seals, guides, spring and trigger are all the same. Even the barrel is an R-9 barrel with a steel sleeve slipped over it. It does not come with sights either. RB

I bought a new walnut stocked BSA Superten with the 400cc bottle. The stock, build quality, accuracy and power were wonderful. What was TERRIBLE was the balance and weight. The end of the bottle is 5" further toward the muzzle than my Supertwelve by Theoben. This was due to the brass regulator. Shooting this gun offhand was a tiring experience!!!!!! I hated to sell it because of what it did so well, but I couldn't deal with the terrible balance problem. In thinking how nice the other aspects of this gun was, I thought maybe a Stalker Tiger ten. In looking on their website, in order to alleviate the balance problem, you have to get the Limited edition with all of the lightening tricks like aluminum regulator. The gun at this price is around $ 2400 . Am I seeing this right??? To make the gun be more like my Theoben Supertwelve ( Awesome trigger, lightweight, balanced , accurate and powerful ) I have to spend $ 2400 ??? I'm looking for real answers, not being a smartbutt. Am I missing something ?????

The biggest problem I've had whith my 4500 PSI tanks is that 1 you have to be REAL careful 2 Most of the common fittings (except in some diveshops and PB stores) are not rated for 4500 PSI. My tank is about the same but at 4500 PSI the volume seems to go quickly so it's like a "third" string tank for me. Like once you start dumping PSI the volume drops off very quickly. Regards,

TO ADD UP THE WEIGHT OF THE PELLET, AND ITS SO EASY AND THE DOME SEEMS TO BE GOOD ENOUGH FOR SHORT RANGE HIGHER IMPACT PELLET. I TRIED TO SHOOT PHONE BOOKS AND THE PENETRATION AND DAMAGE IS BETTER THAN BEEMAN RAM JET (DOME HEAD). ANY ONE TRIED IT BEFORE? ACCURACY FOR 20 YARD IS STILL OKAY AND I AM GONNA TRIED IT FOR VARMINT HUNTING THIS COMING WEEKEND.

If you are plinking and hunting or just informal target shooting you can use a low powered scope and still just aim and shoot. You can use a ballistic program the determine the best zero range for your pellet & velocity combination. The term for this is maximum point blank range? Anyway lets pick an example. Say you want your pellet to stay within a 1/4".A ballistic program to find best zero that will allow the pellet to stay with in this range with largest amount of yardage.For example 880 fps using CP 10.5 grain pellets. Sight in would be 36 yards. then from 15 yards to 41 yards the pellet would rise and fall within a 1/4 of an inch. Also you can pick a range such as 35 yards for a zero then shoot a targets at different ranges and record the shifts of POI and not use a ballistics program at all. Art

Okay, I went shooting on Saturday with some friends. There were four of us out enjoying the morning, a little swinging target plinking, a little pest bird hunting...etc. Now I personally am very glad at least ONE person has sold his Career....because I purchased it! And he only sold it because he has two others (.22 carbine and 9mm rifle) and didn't need the .20 rifle...plus he finds the .22 carbine to be more to his liking. I got a Career because of the aformentioned transition from CO2. I do not care for springers at all, but CO2 and Ohio aren't always in agreement outdoors. With winter approaching and having such a fine large area to shoot airguns in, a PCP was in order. After shooting several types of Careers, they seemd to fill all my needs. I will confess, I still find them rather homely looking. But their "functional beauty" is growing on me now. I went out again this morning for a little low power plinking with 14.3 grain Crosman domes. On a 3,000psi charge I got 90 shots at fairly low power. But even the 90th shot was exploding walnuts at 30 yards.....so it wasn't THAT low of power. I still don't notice a lot of people selling their Careers.....no more than any other brand. Jack

In my P-Ball days we tried hand warmers but quickly gave up on them because they caused radical velocity changes in CO2. That is the main problem with CO2; there is a big pressure change with temperature.

The barrel on my IZH-46 is very slick inside and doesn't lead up at the low velocity of these pistols. Occasionally, and agaist my better judgement, I pull a patch with Pellgun Oil thru the barrel and it comes out clean every time. I made a pull thru cleaning rod out of 1/16" dia bronze brazing rod with a nylon sleeve from a RC model airplane control rod over it. If you use nylon fishing line or weed eater line be sure to pull it as straight as you can out of the muzzle. I've been told that stuff can be pretty abrasive. What ever you use wipe it down clean after every pass thru the barrel. Best advice is to just shoot it and don't clean the bore at all.

Metal traps cause vaporizarion and fragmentation of the lead pellet leading to lead contamination in your household. The ballistic putty traps greatly reduce to eliminate that risk. Traps made of newspaper / fill type material are also quite safe. Electric duct seal is the perfect silent pellet trap material for indoor use. Its cheap (depending on where you live), does not dry out and is reuseable forever. Please see my web site for plans for making your own silent pellet trap, where to obtain duct seal and a lead safety article.

Go to www.airgun.co.uk/ to access the Ripley site.There will be a new Ripley distributor in the US within the next 30 days. As mentioned earlier the BSA would be a good choice, I have a Stalker Tiger Ten LE which is a customized version of this gun and like it a lot. However, the Career 707 is the gun I would recommend. It is not the prettiest gun in the world but it is as accurate as my Tiger Ten and more powerful. The Career 707 will shoot well over 1000 FPS, has a 10 shot magazine and is lever action. It is possibly the most reasonable of the guns available. It has the added advantage of a power wheel adjuster which allow you to shoot from just over 500 FPS up to 1000 FPS that is easy to use. It does need some tweaks to make the trigger really acceptable and the power wheel more adjustable. Several gunsmiths do a good job of this. MAC 1 will sell you the gun with the necessary mods at www.mac1airgun.com. With heavy Korean pellets the gun will has around 80 ftlbs of energy. It weighs around 8lbs with scope.

Hello Chuck, Those soft cotton cleaning pellets are a waste of time. They don't do a very good job, and you can do a much better job of cleaning with patches and a good cleaning solvent. A very useful piece of equipment is a nylon pull-through called the Crown Saver, which I believe is available from Mac-1 (look in the links section of this web site). Using that, and patches bought at the local Wal Mart, and a cleaner like Simple Green or the one from Beeman, you can easily clean the bore and do a great job at the same time. You can make your own pull-through by utilizing a 25"-30" piece of braided nylon cord. Tie it into a loop, and you have your very own pull-through. To really make it easy to use, get a piece of thin fishing line-type monofilament. Tie one end of the mono to the trigger guard, and then feed the other end into the back of the barrel (the breech) and out the front. Next, tie the free end of the mono to the loop of nylon cord that you just made. Now, in order to easily feed the nylon cord through the barrel, you just pull on the thin mono line, which pulls the thicker cord through the barrel. Once the cord loop is sticking out the back of the barrel, just load it with a solvent-soaked patch, and then pull it through. Once the cord is out the front of the barrel and the now dirty patch falls free, you can just pull the cord back down to the starting position using the mono line.

I have access to current 87 SCF carbon fiber wraped tanks capable of being charged to 4500 PSI. These tanks have port threading of .875 X 14. I am wanting to set up one of these tanks to use with airguns and bottles that will accept higher pressures. Does anyone know of a source for couplers, gages, hoses ect. that will operate safely at 4500 PSI. These tanks only weigh 12 lbs and are easily portable besides the advantage of being able to fill a 3000 PSI bottle or tube many times to full charge. Also, a lot of the newer gear uses higher pressures for example the Brocock CO2 replacement cylinders at 3500 PSI and the New Ripley XL9 which will fill to 4300 PSI. Sure need some help on this.

I only have experience with the Superten out of the above group. I chose it mainly for the match trigger, multishot magazine and huge air reservior (120-200 shots depending on power level). The gun looks a little different with the large reservior out front and is a little heavy compared to the others, but its very accurate. I too liked the axxor and probably will buy one for my wife, but the trigger is not as good as the Superten and the number of shots is pretty low. The wlanut stock on the Axxor is beautiful (I saw one at the Roanoke show last year). The Air Arms 310 looks great and reportedly is very accurate. Another option is a Daystate with the speed loader. I have no knowledge of the Ripley.

A few months ago I posted a question on whether or not anyone had tried warming CO2 tanks with chained resistors, as I use to warm the optics on my telescope to prevent dew accumulation. I've actually started to think about buying a CO2 gun (QB78), but if I did, I want to use it for the same close-range squirrel and rabbit hunting I'd use a Benjamin 392 for. At any rate, my fantasies about getting a more temperature-stable CO2 gun have become more urgent. It occurred to me this morning that those stupid electric socks sold for duck hunters might well just slip over a bulk tank and provide the necessary temperature stabilization. I'd be wanting something around 65-70 degrees Fahrenheit out them. Has anyone used these socks, or tried this before? Is the problem of lower temperature taking its toll farther into the gun than the bulk tank, which should be fairly consistent pressure-wise because of the presence of the liquid gas? (If so, why not cut the toe out of one of these socks and slip it over the receiver?) JP

First off, I must state that I am NOT a hunter. I do not participate in formal hunting because it is not my thing. Hunting is a necessary event that is required to keep our wildlife in order now that we have buggered it up. Having said that, let me give my two cents as to your statements. If you think that you are going to solve senseless killing by pecking away at a keyboard for a few minutes stating how unfair it is, then you have to give your head a BIG long shake. The sociological reasons for people doing what they do are certainly not going to be corrected on an Airgun Forum. Yeah, it sucks that some(the few) ruin it for others by committting senseless acts such as killing small animals or pets for kicks. You cannot stop their thoughts or desires to do such things. However, and this is my point to this reply; what did you do to stop this? You have twice indicated that you knew or witnessed people committing these acts that repulse you so much. Did you report these acts to the authorities? Did you confront the person(s) responsible? If you are not part of the solution, then you are part of the problem. I didn't hear anything except your personal thoughts about retaliation to the persons in the same manner that you think is so cowardly. And then followed by a quick retraction. I am not trying to put you down or degrade your personality, but please..... when you have a gripe with the activities of certain people, make sure that you are writing a mature response. Griping and whining with no purpose or thoughts toward prevention usually go unheeded. Just my three cents (after all I am Canadian, and there is an exchange rate).

I have a Mac-1 modified QB-1. I bought it for $40, shipped, from its original owner - an individual who disliked the factory bulk, weight, and low velocity. I bought it solely with the intention of having Tim MacMurray convert it to .22. .177 is always less efficient than .22, all things being equal, and particularly so with this gun. Tim swapped the .177 for a .22 barrel longer than the original by an inch. He also fitted a scope rail that, by necessity, hangs forward over the barrel, necessitating the long-eye-relief, low-power shotgun scope I have on it. The velocity is always in the mid 500s, and more on a hot day. Accuracy is exceptional (one round hole for 5 shots at 35 feet, bottlecaps at 40 yards regularly from a rest). Number of shots with factory tank is probably 50 or so. The gun is extremely rugged due to good materials and heavy construction. Its military look makes it appear somewhat menacing, which means that the kids who see my airgun collection gravitate toward it (as well as my nickel-plated Sheridan gas pistol). The folding stock makes it backpack concealable. Golden toller has an adapter that permits the use of powerlets. Only drawback of the gun is its weight, which is something I will probably get if the but The only drawback is the weight, which is a result of its massive construction.

All the other guns I see mentioned so far would work too, as would the Chinese QB CO2 guns.

Good choice. Excellent balance and the construction is flawless. When you get it you can tell by looking that you have bougt a quality piece. The accuracy is outstanding,however I use mine indoors at 10m. so longer distances Im not familiar but I would assume a tack driver to 50yrds. I got the thumbhole stock which I would reccomend and the fill system is a quick disconnect fitting just like a regular air coupling used on air tools. Something I think should be used on all air arms. The only drawback is loading the magazine -which is slower being non-detachable like the Falcon. Mine likes CP's and Kodiaks. About 25 shots to a fill and trigger pull is exceptional from the box but is adjustable. You need a forward reach mount as with split rings only 1 ring will fit the scope. One nearest the rear site doesnt fit the scope tube so I just use 1 ring. HTH.

Tony, As to packaging. Pack the contents so that a drop from a height of 3' would not damage the contents. This is a good rule, regardless of the carrier. As to the 3.5 oz. tanks, son you ain't lived till you have had one of these blow the safety valve and fly around the room. Since you cannot control, or be assured of the temperature during transit, I would suggest that you ship the tanks empty. Just a few thoughts from an ole boy that has examined a lot of cargo damaged in transit, and shipped a few air guns. Bubba AKA Dan Hankins, Marine Surveyor

In Reply to: Why do People shoot DEFENCELESS animals and enjoy it? posted by Tyler on August 20, 2000 at 03:44:42:
Wake-up! Half of what you are describing is illegal. Shooting songbirds and hawks is against the law. If you witness someone doing this, call the proper authorities. I have hunted for 15 years for rabbits, squirrels, deer, and game birds, among other things. The only things I do not eat are pests such as rats and starlings and others. I do not live in the bush, but my hunting feeds my family and allows me to afford other things for me and my family. What I am doing is well within the law, although I may have committed a few errors in ignorance that I have tried to correct. I hope you grow up a little bit and realize, if you like to shoot, hunting and shooting go hand in hand. If one goes down, the other is soon to follow. If you don't like to hunt, so be it. But do not infringe on my rights as long as I am within the law. I am a hunter, but I have also turned in people who have broken game laws. For the preservation of my sport depends on it. Too many slob hunters have ruined many hunting opportunities for many people. Shooting something just to see it die is a poor excuse for hunting, but if it is within the law it is their right. I use everything I can from each animal I shoot, but that is my choice, and I do it legally. I also use the proper tool for the job. Now leave me alone and take your animal rights babble home and keep it to yourself. If you see someone breaking the law, report it. I am hunter, hear me shoot. Bill

I´m in the process of deciding which precharged airgun I`m going to buy. I´ve spent a lot of time on the net searching for reviews, specs and so on. There are four main competitors as far as I can see; Webley Axsor (actually it will be the FX 2000, but they are more or less identical) BSA superten Mk II Ripley XL9 (seems to be a new gun, but I haven´t found any exact specs on this one) AirArms 410 All guns are .22 FAC versions What I want from my gun is; The Webley is the one like the most so far. Partly because it´s manufactured in Sweden and I´m living there (easier to get customwork done, get technical advice from the manufacturer and so on). The price is also very attractive - I can get one for around 500$. The price is not the major issue for me, but if I can get a good deal, why not:) Any one with experience from any of the guns above? Opinions on my line of alternatives? JmD P.S.

Jason, you're right, the normal difference in price would be about $160 or 170. The $250 figure was a late night mental miscalculation. So in summary, the R11 is somewhat smoother, easier to cock and more accurate than an R9 in addition to the adjustable stock. Thanks. AC

with a good scope and pick them off one at a time from inside the house. That way the noise is virtually nonexistent. Even if you used it outside, its noise level (if it is well-tuned) is much less than a Co2 pistol in my judgment. The advantage is that you can be extremely accurate - one shot will equal one kill. Just ignore them for a couple of hours then take a look-see and kill one. Come back in a couple of hours and do it again. I had this exact same problem in June, with 5 squirrels. Once I eliminated them, I've had no squirrel problems in the bird feeders since. We still have squirrels that eat the suet farther away but they won't come near the birdfeeders that are near the house. I tried killing them with a P3, but it was not powerful or accurate enough to get a head shot every time at 10 yards.

Now there's nothing wrong with .22 but that doesn't mean that people don't like to have a choice and quite frankly, I got the real sense that the guy was being a mite less than objective with me!

BC's of all .20 pellets the velocity in which you
would have to shoot them in a FT competition would
be too slow for a decent trajectory. AAFTA suggests
that 20 ft/lbs be the maximum energy at the muzzle,
which would put you at sub 800 fps velocity. This
would have a looping trajectory similar to shooting
a .177 at 700 fps. Most sucessful FT shooters use
.177 at about 850/880 fps (average) which give an
optimum trajectory over the 10 to 55 yard ranges
typically shot at a FT match.

will not fit in either a CR-94, 97 or CR-X stock. There
is an adapter available from Daystate that will allow
the switch. The CR-94's and CR-97's will interchange,
but not with the CR-X, as it has yet another location
for the action screw!!! The CR-X has a lot of room on
the trigger block to retap the new location for the
other CR's but to fit a Huntsman stock to a CR-X will
require drilling another hole in the stock (as best as
I can figger).

For me the hobby is mostly shooting, then maybe tinkering with the gun (like 80% and 20% respectively)
For others it's toally different. Some love building stocks...some love taking a $50 gun and maxing the heck out of it, some take apart everything they get and try and make it better.
So I guess what's one mans labor is anothers hobby.

borned and raised in the Philippines. Grew up in Manila, Pasay & Quezon
City. So, you can call me as a Filipinese. :-) Dealing with Carol Tiu,
if she is pretty, then she might be one of my relative. Just kidding. No
relatives in the Philippines with that name at all. In the Philippines,
I was introduce to airgun thru my older cousin, who has a .22 cal.
Benjamin air rifle. When he left the Philippines to stay in the USA,
I've asked for his Benjamin air rifle. It was out of necessity that I
have to learn to shoot. I live in Quezon City where part of the
residential area was a warehouse for cornstarch. You'll be amazed that
the rats have reach to a certain size that the mature cats don't even
bother to chase them or do anything to them. They just run away from
them. I have air rifles in Spitfire (.177), Rogunz (.22), Squirebingham
(.22), RWS 52 (.177) & air pistol in Rogunz (.177). The person which I
have bought and become a personal friend was a fellow named Emilio
Concepcion. He formerly opened a small airgun shop at his own home which
is called Emilet, which is now closed. His son is Emil Concepcion, Jr.
which at that time when I was still in the Philippines had won the third
place in the ten meter event at the ASEAN Olympic games. You can search
him up in the Yellow page which he reside in Quezon City with a street
name Iniham (if I remember right). He formerly had a ten meter shooting
range at his roof top. Try reaching him, but as of now, I haven't
contacted him for such a long time.
Over here, I was fortunate enough to live in the same state with Tom
& Edith Gaylord. Even since I came here to the state, I have been
shooting for almost 6 years, due to studies and find a job. Now I have
enough guns but doesn't have enough time to enjoy shooting them. I'm now
involved with the Field Target Match Competition, and the group is
getting larger. Well, hope you be able to find what you need in your
shooting in the Philippines. Keep in touch.

Now, contrary to what most of us read, I didn't get a Career for the whopping great power and monster fpe with Korean Heavies.....I got it to shoot 14.3 grain Crosman Domes at the lower power settings. I am not whacking woodchucks at 70 yards, nor chopping down trees. I am interested in casual plinking at swinging steel targets and walnuts....as well as lowering the starling population and the odd piney squirrel.
I also got the Career because shooting a springer over QB-88 power is difficult for me. Shooting CO2 is loads of fun, but tricky outdoors in all weather and temps. PCP's are a solution for me, just charge and shoot. All the ease of CO2, without the many of the problems.
There are very few walnuts left on the trees now within 30 yards of my shooting position :-)
Most were blown apart with one shot, suffering no pain. Only a handful needed to be finished off after the initial shot made a fleshwound (you have to hit them in the nut to really kill them instantly).
I love this gun! I get 90-100 shots at low power settings with 14.3 grain .20 Crosman Domes. And that is plenty of power for my needs. I can always crank it up and shoot Koreans if I feel the need to whack-a-chuck.
But I'm a plinker. And in addition to being a hunting gun, the Career II 707 is also a mighty fine plinking arm! I spent a very relaxing couple of hours walking in the woods and then just plinking on one charge (90 shots) yesterday.

They came in different heights, like half-inch, inch ... etc. (I don't remember the specific sizes). They raised your line-of-sight for those using higher scope mounts, and such. Well, I haven't seen those nice leather comb risers for some time. They're probably still around, but I've not seen them. (have you?)

I wonder if the .177 caliber P-1 could be de-tuned to shoot 495fps? Maybe a shortened spring.
I think they realistically shoot only a little over 500fps so cutting a few coils might work. Lock time might get messed up though.
FWIW,

I got the .20 because it was a used gun, owned by a friend, the price was right, and I knew the gun shot well. And I got it mainly to shoot CP's...which in .20 weigh the same 14.3 grains as in .22 caliber. No weight loss there, only frontal area. Although I think the .22's are more efficient in the bore. That makes more of a difference in CO2 guns than in a PCP charged at 3,000psi...where one can afford a little more inefficiency.
Korean heavies are still quite awesome from the .20 at full tilt. I shot those on Saturday.
Then on Sunday I shot all CP's at lower power for comparison. Quite honestly, there is still plenty of power and range for what I need with CP's in the lower ranges of the wheel.
I have some Beeman CM's...but haven't tried them yet. The .20's in CM's are interesting, because they are lighter in .20 than a CP. Only 12.8 grains for a CM and 14.3 for a CP. Might make for a fast pellet that gives a lot of shots per charge and still a goodly bit of shocking power for birds and smaller critters out to 30 yards or so. I think I would still opt for Koreans and high power settings at longer ranges though. The gun has taken several woodchucks already at fair ranges, not in my hands though.

I would stay away from ordering the clone type CO2 air pistols but anything else should be fine.
If you want a clone pistol buy it from a Canadian dealer. Prices are the same when you look at exchange, duty, tax, customs fee,shipping etc.
You can get Umarex, RWS, HW, Crosman, Daisy, Gamo, etc in Canada. Even the IZH-61 is now sold in Canada($179)

They're not "better than others" in the sense that a Leupold or a Burris is not as good as a Swift (far from it, gimme a Leup or a Burris 8-32 any time!). However, they have a price/performance ratio that's very tough to beat.

I went through the same scenario a couple years ago, only it was my daughter. I in fact started her off with the Daisy Red Ryder. We spent many hours on shooting techniques and SAFETY. The rifle is kept in my closet and she is not even allowed to take it out of the closet without my permission. Recently I picked up a Crosman 180 for her. This was a real step up for her. The size of this rifle is great for their size. I know its a bit over your budget, but I believe certainly worth looking at. Obviously you can't go down to the local Wal-Mart to get one since they are no longer produced. But with a little looking around I'm sure you could come up with one for probably in the $80-$100 range.
Just my thoughts,

It will also do fine for FT matches (especialy in windy conditions). It also kills blackbirds at even 60 yards and more (depending on the shooter).
But the price .... a little to high. Barrel and hold is great, but the trigger is not. Long travel and not crispy at all. I think a rifle in this catagory should have a better trigger (Gold Medal version is not better, only adjustable!).
With the current exchange rates, I think a little longer until it drops a bit.

channel lately? i hate to break it to you, but
i would bet that if we weren't "meddling" with
"natural selection" the natural predators would
have eliminated or greatly reduced the species in ?
sorry for the soap box, just REMEMBER TO VOTE!

Yup, it's for real. Lead bbs are to big to fit in magazine. Kmart, Walmart, etc. all carry steel bbs made by Daisy and Crosman. Watch out for ricochets though.

Both times I just left it for the professional
scavengers to take care of. I still counted the
rabbits as kills (game situation).
rabbit had been in my vest for awhile. It was a
football shaped thing with a circumferential
striation, and what looked like mouths at both ends.
All it could do was wriggle, and it wriggled out
of the neck area. The bug had a VERY tough skin.
It was fall, and that rabbit seemed to be not too
alert and didn't run far after I jumped it, making
an easy target. I tend to pass up that kind of
shot now!

infestation must be a common thing.

Plus I have some sporters that are "cheaper"
So yes you are right to some extent but I guess it's all in the options)

If you're referring ("sear") to the safety reset swtich, actually the part is fairly inexpensive. If keep a couple of these in my airgun tool box inventory for such mishaps. Since this is in the trigger guard unit, it isn't nearly as dangerous as fooling around the trigger unit...an area that even I don't ever venture.

Jack, the .20 caliber Career is one that we don't really hear that much about on the forum. How do you like yours? Do you shoot Korean heavies only? I know that Marty has had really good success with the .22 and .25 Crow Mag in his guns. It would be really interesting to see how the .20 (much more explosive than the .22 an .25 versions at the same energy impact) Crow Mag would do at velocities say about a 100 or so over a Crow Mag 111. I don't know how practical that would be but it would sure be interesting IMO. That little pill would be like a little bomb! ---- Mr.P

most industrial supply houses like McMaster-Carr have what you need. One of my own setups uses Aeroquip high pressure hydraulic quick connectors and a 5,000 psi Ashcroft gauge. These connectors are rated at a working pressure of 5,000 psi, will actually withstand 6,500 psi, and are double-valved (valves in both the male and female ends) to prevent leakage. If you can't obtain this stuff yourself, email me and I'll get you some at my cost plus shipping. HTH!

Four guys.....and the guns brought were;
2 Career 9mm rifles
1 Career .22 carbine
1 Career .22 rifle
1 Career .20 rifle
1 Rapid 12
1 Super Sport springer
Now the guy who wasn't with us (he normally is), owns a .22 Career and is about to purchase a .177 Career. And the owner of the SS also owns a 9mm Careers is about to get a .22 Career rifle as well.
So in Central Ohio anyway, people are buying them.
The low power setting isn't overly loud. I was shooting in my basement range with it yesterday. Outside it isn't too bad at all. Now a Career 9mm at full tilt with one of those monster bullet pellets, that is loud! I must admit that Korean heavies at full power in my .20 are loud also. But I got the gun to shoot Premiers mainly, and at lower velocities. I also got it to shoot in the wide oppen spaces....I have CO2 guns for my basement.

Spitfire. It came as a surprise to read that

(with a great trigger mechanism at that)
when in the last gun show here just a month ago I
had a hard time finding information on airgun
shooting as a sport from the airgun manufacturers
themselves. Anyway, with your advice, I have a
reason to go around and find one.
I know of another Tiu, Carol Tiu back from my
college days. Would she be related to you, by any
chance?
airguns as a sport? I would appreciate any
referrals.

to be a leak, what happens is when you put the powelets in and screw down the cap everything is
is fine but after the first shot all the gas slowly leaks out the barrel/breech any ideas on how to fix
this? any other info on this gun would also be appreciated I am also wondering how much I should have paid for this

Here's what you need to do, regarding shipping. UPS is OK. Any freight handler can lose a package, and UPS tracking numbers can be used to track the progress of the package, via their internet site, and seem to work pretty well. Personally, I have less faith in the US Postal service than UPS or Fed-X, but that is just my personal experience.
