    What should i do for a finish?

    This looks really good. I've never seen a wrapped gun in person though. Did you do this yourself or have a shop wrap for you?

    What should i do for a finish?

    The one nice thing about dipping though is generally, if you mess up you can just re sand, re prime/paint and re dip. If anyone wants to try an entire stock though, I'd suggest dipping one side at a time. Doing the whole stock in one go is not for the faint of heart and it usually ends up buggered.

    What should i do for a finish?

    I see you mention a dip. I dip alot of things, and I'd strongly suggest not dipping wood or a full stock for your first foray. If you must dip, find a sacrificial stock and practice alot. Otherwise be ready for alot of attempts and re dips, unless it's a pretty abstract blotchy pattern where...

    Break barrel and slugs

    If the guns report is louder with slugs than with pellets I'd be curious as to what's going on speed wise. It sounds like you may be getting blow by on the slug similar to if it's not fully engaging the rifling.

    Crosman Show me how you moderated your 3622?

    Thanks for this info gramps, that's the sort of mod o was thinking about 3d printing. Good to know something is out there now to quiet this gun.

    Hatsan New Velox semi auto pcp pistol

    This thing looks like an abomination, but somehow I want one. I wouldn't pay 400 for a hatsan though. I bet given some time we will see some good sales on these, especially the inevitable refurbished ones.

    N/A New Cometa rifle

    First off, Jon at keystone airguns is doing this community a service by bringing these to retail in the U.S. I picked up a 400 usc in .22, a bit ago and wow is it a great gun for the price. I'm going to work on a video review in the next few days so you guys can see what I mean. Hoping to add...

    Crosman 362 Anniversary Edition question

    The 362 should definitely dump all the air with 6 - 8 pumps. At 9 or more they seem to still hold some air on the next shot. Everyone's suggestion above is good. Try to shoot it a bit more and see if it holds more air on 8 pumps.

    Lubber Hunting with Airsoft?

    Boresnake; only a kid could think of something so devious/inventive haha. Op another option is alot of salt in a cheap pumper. It also kills scorpions and millipedes.

    Lubber Hunting with Airsoft?

    Airsoft I'd venture to say is certainly an airgun. The bb is expelled with either green gas or electric air compression. To answer the op's thread, I kill scorpions with an airsoft pistol using green gas that shoots around 300 fps. It works great, don't see why you can't on the grasshoppers.

    Crosman 362 Anniversary Muzzle Device

    Thanks for that Struck. I think the 100 year anniversary model actually has an aluminum pickle, that's the device in question I'm wondering if is removable? On the regular Ole 362 like you describe the plastic little slip on sight comes right off.

    Crosman Show me how you moderated your 3622?

    Hi Friends, Enjoying my el cheapo 3622, hope you are too. My only problem is I've yet to figure out a good way to moderate this gun. It's almost like they built it so you can't given the foster fill port. Can you show me how you moderated yours? I'm out of ideas beyond cad and 3d printing...

    Crosman 362 Anniversary Muzzle Device

    Hey Friends, Now that the 362 anniversary editions are coming down to reasonable prices I'm tempted, but had a question. Is the muzzle break/device removable? My 362, and 3622 have quite a bark and need to be moderated. I think the donny fl disco adapter would work but I'm unclear how the...

    Diana Diana Bandit Black?

    This is definitely not it. I saw a add in the latest PA catalog and the gun looks like the standard bandit, with the rifle kit and pistol kit. Except the gun is a PCP not c02.

    Diana Diana Bandit Black?

    Has anyone seen any more info on the diana bandit black? From what I understand it's a pcp version of the c02 bandit. Is this a completely new gun in 2024 or something my addled brain is now just coming across? If new, has anyone shot one or come across one yet? Regards friends

    Your favorite camping gun?

    I love to camp, and I love to airgun. Generally as long as I'm not backpacking away from my vehicle I bring a airgun to plink and have fun. I'd love to bring the arsenal but space is always tight. That usually means the .17 HW30 is in tow. I like it because I don't need to bring a pump. It's...

    Other Smallest break barrels on market?

    Wow @ the diana 70 and 72. That would be the dream to find one of those. Thanks beeman for the pics. It highlights how much smaller and svelte the old small guns are even compared to a hw30. I fear the days of these guns are gone forever. I honestly wonder why the Chinese have not made copies...

    Kalibrgun Is Kalibrgun late in technology advances?

    I have a .30 non tactical Cricket II Wsr, the tube version and my shroud came threaded for a 1/2 UNF fyi.

    Kalibrgun Is Kalibrgun late in technology advances?

    I have a cricket II smooth in .30, and honestly it's a rugged reliable platform. The only true deficiency is the magazine, where as it takes two hands to get it into the gun. The gun never changes poi, and it's the quietest .30 I own. It's not a tinker'ers rifle but a shooters rifle.
