Want to try a pellet that is very soft in a low powered air pistol. Hoping the skirt will deform easily and lock into the rifling. I see lead pellets but they have antimony added for hardness. Any recommendations?????

See all pics. Right hand stock. Changed the stock on myTX200HC to a custom stock for field target use. Will also fit TX200 MKIII.

$240. Shipping included. Payment by PayPal only. I’ll handle the fees.

About safety and stuff...

Once upon a time, long ago, I had my rifles in a rack on the wall. Now, here in Canada, all firearms (which includes airguns over 500 fps) are legally required to be properly stored in a lockable cabinet or with a trigger-lock in a case.

I miss having them on display but from my own experience see that it's for the best to keep all firearms out of sight and unaccessible to unauthorized people.

These days, with all violence in video games and on TV, safe gun handling is a concern.


So that brings me to my point of asking about your first experiences handling a gun.

Having always been strongly attracted to anything that shot a projectile, I was totally impressed with my father's Crosman 101 multi-pump pellet gun. In spite of being forbidden, I'd shoot it (bits of wood, wads of foil or even screws) whenever I got a chance. Luckily, I never did any damage to myself or anything else.

My first "official" use of a rifle came when we visited a family friend who lived in a rural area. There was a .22 rimfire by the back-door and a large amount of begging netted me two boxes of shells. A couple of tins were put in front of a high backstop and a blanket was put on the ground about 10 yards back. I was told that the rifle could not leave the area of the blanket and must always be pointed towards the backstop. After basic instructions on how to operate the rifle and demonstrating that I could manage it, I was left alone to shoot. One hundred shots later, the tins were mostly unharmed but I did have a great time I was told (years) afterwards that they kept an eye on me from the house.

The closest that I got to formal instruction was when I was shooting my Slavia 618 break-barrel beside the road (in the 1960s). A cop watched me for a bit then came over and showed me how to hold the rifle and use the sights properly.

Without someone to mentor you (back before home computers, the internet and YouTube videos) books and magazines were the only source of information. Most of what I knew about guns and shooting came Jack O'Connor's book "Complete Book on Rifles and Shotguns". People are lucky to have access to all kinds of detailed information now.

Anyway, that's where I'm coming from and that's why I'll help anyone who wants to try archery or airguns.



So I'm curious how people got into shooting and how you learned the trade. Did you have someone to teach you or did you have to figure it out yourself?

...Done rambling, heading out to do some plinking

Cheers!

For sale is this Scott 30 minute tank with New 300 din flow restricted valve and 20" fill hose. I lucked into several of these tanks that were obviously surplus ( your tax dollars at work) ! I removed the Scott valve and replaced it with a new fill assembly with a male foster fitting on the tank and fill hose with female foster fittings and strain relief the whole length. This tank is a great break from lugging a 60 minute tank or making do with a 90 cu in bottle. This tank is dated 09/07 and therefore is past it's ( "15 year service life). Due to it's age NO COMMERCIAL BUSINESS WILL FILL IT. You must have your own compressor or a good buddy with one. Use this at your own risk and assume responsibility . I have aired up the tank to test for function and leaks .............................it is good to go. Selling for $180 , plus actual shipping and insurance . Now includes tracked shipping to the conus. To comply with DOT regulations , the tank will be shipped empty unless you want to do a local pick-up in Hickory , NC then it will be full. Not interested in trades or offers at this time. Please deal by pm. Thanks for looking.............................................Herb

SCOPE IN PICS NOT INCLUDED.

Picked up raptor mini on forms and was wondering who all is shooting them. Mine is in .25cal and is a neat gun. Don't know much about them but I've had Kailbergun, edguns, fx, air arms, daystate. This time I wanted a USA made gun and this is a older model I got and it was a round the time Travis was in business/company. Just wanting tips on platform or tricks and also show me your setup!

Why is no one talking about this rifle yet?

Should make a welcome addition to non-bullpup hunting rifle options. I know there are a lot of us that prefer more traditional looking designs for our hunting rifles. This one is for sure on my 'radar'.

Nice and compact, but the stock looks far too big for it lol. Basically a bottled kral NP03 in design.

Of course, it's not moderated. Barrel all the way to the end of the shroud. So it'll be damn near 40+" with a can hanging off it.

When will these companies learn most of us want short and quiet with decent power. If I can build them, so can they!

Do you all leave the moderator on the air gun or remove it after shooting every time?

I read that on a firearm it can foul the barrel due to the chemical byproducts of combustion, but with an airgun this shouldn't be an issue and safe to leave the moderator on all the time?

Been alot of talk on O Rings and now I'm in need. I can't find any with a half mm .50 cross section. I also am getting no help from any of the distributors of this gun (AEA hp ss) on sizes for various O Rings. Members here have mentioned O ring factory and some other distributors. When I go to their website they have o rings made for all types of applications and made of alot of different materials. I have a couple questions.
1. What o ring material should I be looking for?
2. Did I get the size right? Any way to tell from the Picture?
ID 6mm
CS .50mm


Thanks

I ended up looking on Krale's site for options. For reasons I don't understand, Krale even with shipping, is a lot cheaper than vendors in the USA! If I am missing a good vendor tor these rifle, please let me know.

In summary for anyone who has not read my other thread, I live in a rural area and need to kill rodents and small predators around buildings and things where collateral damage would be bad. I am thinking pass-thru shots and misses mainly that impact things they shouldn't.

For effectiveness on larger things (relative to mice and pigeons), I think I am better served with 0.22 or 0.25 pellets for a bigger thud that would break bones or make a bigger wound channel

I have had shoulder surgery and I am ~8 years away from getting Social Security so while I live an active lifestyle, I also realize I need to be cautious of getting something excessively heavy to cock. An HW 30S would be super easy to cock but, is pretty low on the power side for effectively and humanely killing things with less than perfect shot placement. The HW 50S seems to be a better option for humanely dispatching things but, is cocking it going to be reasonable for me?

What are the trade-offs between the 0.25 and 0.22 options in either of these air rifles? I assume accuracy between both calibers and both air rifles will essentially be the same given a little pellet preference for each air rifle.

TIA,
Sid

yep, this one will be a swing optic between my Mk2 crown compact and 2 PB guns, also any airguns i need to play with

What is FPE? What do I need to measure it? How do I increase it? How much do I need?
I am shooting an HW97, .22 with a 14.3 pellet. I’m sighted in at 40 yards and have a group of about 1.5 inches. My one goal is to kill pests, mainly ground squirrels. It seems the gun is less accurate on a sled than when I use a bag. Or maybe I’m the one less accurate.
Another question. I may have to move the scope as it appears it’s to far from my eye. Will I need to resight it in if I do this?
Thx for the advice.

Back in May I ordered 7 tins of JTS 18gr 22 cal domed pellets from Pyramyd Air. I shot up the first tin a couple months ago and found several 25 cal pellets mixed in. I didn't count them, but there were several. Today I opened a second tin and counted 41 25 cal pellets. So, I opened tin #3 and counted 33 25 cal pellets. I haven't had time to open any more yet, but that unreasonably high contamination rate.
Called PA but since it had been a few months there wasn't anything they could do and I understand that. I also emailed JTS and we'll see what happens there.

Has anyone had any similar experiences with JTS pellets?

One thing I will say, my M3 absolutely loves them when you get the right caliber. I was getting 1/4-3/8" 10 shot groups at 30 meters.

I started selling PCPs almost 2 years ago and I notice this year has been quite the decline in interest. My existing customers love them but I am really struggling to get new people interested more than ever. I am competetive with online pricing at a local level and even fix peoples gun for free and educate them on how to use and work on everything but interest has just about ground to a halt. I don't get it. I love PCP's.

I just got a new Leshiy 2. Took it out of the box. Showing 192 in the tube. I’ve got a magazine in, everything fits and closes properly. Take it off safe and nothing. No air sound not firing, nothing. Any advice
