After sending one back, buying a different one, adding a HUMA regulator and giving in completely to the will of the rifle - the answer is ..... Oh h*ll yeah!!

I tried every way I knew how to tame this rifle and make it shoot a light weight pellet at at slow-ish speed. I failed. I bought about 11 different tins in my quest and begrudgingly increased speed and weight until I got to the last tin - the JSB EXACT Monster 13.43 grain 4.52 head size. For those of you who have read the first 2 chapters, this one has a happy ending - sort of. These pics show what a Taipan .177 can do. And, I guess they support those of you who said the Taipan was built on a powerful platform and that the .177 was purely an afterthought created from market demand.

Here is a 40 yard, 20 shot string, 5 shots per group and with the exception of 1 flyer, a dime dwarfs these groups. The HUMA reg was right on, too. I have included the shot string stats. It's sweet, but more power than I ever wanted.

Anyone interest in a powerful, accurate .177 Taipan?

If the magazine isn't causing a noticeable difference on accuracy I think that's a better system so you can knock out shots faster during a consistent/lull wind timeframe. I'm planning to build a custom from scratch .22 bench gun and looking for input from those familiar with shooting these matches.

Curious, as I caught myself feeling this way-
How many of you hit the classifieds first when logged into AGN, then hope there’s nothing of interest to you or nothing you can’t live without, as

1. You don’t feel like depleting more $$ out of your bank account
2. You don’t want to dive anymore deeper into this hobby
3. Feel like the part your buying may end up collecting even more dust than the seller had on it.

For me pellet purchases are the worst, as I look at stacks of tins as $$ that could’ve went elsewhere, but with shortages and prices hiking up, it’s a worthwhile investment. Sometimes I find myself hoping it sold before i get to them, ha!

I have read a few of the stories about eBay on here. I just had one of those experiences that reminded me of why I hate eBay so badly.

I had searched the 'Net high and low for some Pellgunoil. I found listings on every major air gun website out there. I found that all of them show the product "Out of stock". So, I kept searching and found dozens of listings on eBay. I picked the one with the lowest "price plus shipping" and bought one. That was two days ago. I just got an email telling me that I had received a refund from PalPal. After reading the email, I logged into eBay and there was a message from the seller. It stated that there was a problem with my address. I sent him a message asking what was wrong with my address. Then, I got ticked off. He told me that PayPal won't allow him to ship to the State of Illinois because of our stupid gun laws. No kidding! I can't buy a damned tube of oil from anybody on eBay due to gun laws in this State.

I don't know who to be more mad at or who to holler at. How can ANYBODY be so stupid as to restrict the sale of OIL that might be used on a BB gun because of gun laws? I did have problems buying my Mod 25 last week. The first three websites I tried to buy from told me they couldn't deliver a gun to anyone in the State of Illinois. Yhey suggested contacting a local FFL dealer and arranging to have the gun shipped to them for a fee of $25 to $35. As mad as I was getting, it worked out for the best. The place I ended up ordering from simply required a copy of my FOID card and a copy of my drivers license. Once they had those, they completed the order. I say it worked out for the best because they happened to have the gun priced $25 to $30 lower than any other site I had been on.

But that doesn't compare to a place that has a policy that says you can't ship oil that may or may not be used on a BB gun to someone living in this state. Just unreal!

Who is building the best quality moderators for big bore air rifles?

Looking to trade or sale for 177/22 moderator
$80tyd used not abused. Usps money order or cash only

Greetings all!

Why I waited so long to invest in a quality springer is beyond me. AoA sent a new HW30s to me a couple weeks ago and I've been putting it through its paces, learning as I go.

A couple shooting sessions ago, the rifle that had been grouping brilliantly, started throwing wild vertical fliers. A lot. Tightened stock screws a tad as they were still "tight" with zero improvement. I'd about convinced myself the new Hawke scope had given up its ghost. Aggravated that the mild rifle would wreck the scope within a thousand shots, I just couldn't believe it.

Then it hit me. Give the bore a swipe or two and see what happens...... The transformation was unreal and instantaneous! Back on track and making tight groups once again.

Now, about this afternoon. Being perfectly calm and the rifle now broken in, I thought it the perfect time to wring out the 8 or 9 tins of different pellets I bought with the gun. After some 5 shot groups at 30 yards, it showed an affinity for H&N Sport wadcutters. I moved my ram silhouette and a target stand with an orange sticker out to 50 yards. The rifle consistently made inch groups. One went 7/8". It was then that I decided to really hunker down with concentration and trigger control...from my picnic table, forearm resting on a rolled up hoodie atop an igloo cooler (can you say "redneck")?

I'm new here, I realize. That said, and at the risk of forever being branded a story-teller, I must report about the final 5 shots of the day. I'm looking at the orange bullseye sticker now, which my bride put into a frame for me to slobber at. They measure 1/2" or .323 ctc!!!

I've only kept one other target from a lot of shooting for 40 years plus. It was a group made a few years ago with a 32 caliber flintlock that I will never duplicate. I'm doubtful that I'll best the HW30s group from this afternoon, but, I sure intend to try!

I should be beat with a stick for not buying a quality springer YEARS ago. I intend to make up for lost time with the help of this good forum (a gold mine of information). Thanks for having me.

I have a picture or two of the group, one with a dime next to it, but have never posted a photo here. I'll see if I can figure it out tomorrow and add one here.

Thanks for reading what must appear as the ramblings of a mad man. I'm not mad, just giddy!!! Real giddy.

PS to say, Hey Chris from AofA, if you see this, thanks from Matt from Indiana for your guidance and help with my rifle and kit order. By the way, the squirrels here are learning to hate the Weihrauch, just as you thought they would!

So I have a backyard incognito setup dreamtac .177 tuned for 10fpe so 9.57gr at 700fps. Shooting is usually 30 yards and under mainly 20 yards. This setup is perfect can take anything from squirrel and under. Its so good I am not getting pass throughs even on broadside mice. With that said my question is on the smaller critters lets say chipmunk and under so rats, mice, chipmunk etc is a body shot better? I have learned today that because its so accurate and so small in size I found I just missed the lights out switch on a chipper and hit just below the brain. The mice and rat were good shots but again not sure if straight up vitals is best.

I recently traded my impact m3 (for money reasons) and I didn’t wanna be without a gun so I traded for money and the mk1. I’m just the type that has to have the latest and greatest but had to do the responsible thing and bring some funds in, so I’m just wondering how the mk1 is. I’m sure it’s a great gun, but going from the m3 I just know I’m gonna want more if that makes sense. Just curious on what you guys think, sell/trade it, or keep it.
********sorry forgot to mention I’m receiving it today.

Was browsing around on PA site and saw the new hours. That's awesome for a airgun store! Now I can wake up from my buying frenzie dreams and place a order at 4am.

Spent a couple hours googling this but did not come up with an answer.

Who made the Avenger for Air Venturi?

Selling an As New Air King model 54 recoiless airgun with TO6 trigger. This gun has all original paperwork and box. Gun is immaculate as seen in the pics...only fired a few shots when purchased. Fired 2 shots today to check it...shoots strong and smooth. Too many airguns...not enough time. Price $495 plus shipping/ins. I accept USPS money orders. Thanks for looking.

My move is starting and at the new house I won't be able to shoot in the yard. My plans are to just keep my TalonP to hunt with. I really don't want to move the stuff as the house is quite a bit smaller (but on the waterfront) and not a lot of storage.

I'd like to sell this stuff local if possible to avoid hazards of shipping. I'm in zipcode 21009 and would drive a reasonable distance to meet.

1) FX Thor in .177. Tuned right under 20fpe. I picked this up from John in PA who had resealed the gun. Shoots most pellets good. It shoots the JSB from 8.44-13.4 great. Holds air perfectly. Comes with 2 mags, fill probe and some spare orings and such that John gave me. In great condition. It does have a spot under the breech where someone apparently stripped a bolt and then did some cosmetic damage to the tube getting the bolt out. John never mentioned this to me, and it doesn't affect the performance of the gun at all and can't be scene unless gun is disassembled. Just mentioning as I don't want anyone to be surprised if the open it up like I did. Scope shown not included in price
$450

2)Logun (FX) Solo in .177 - Best pellet is the Crosman heavy in the box. Also shooting most JSB's just as good. Shooting just over 20fpe right now. The original shroud was taken off. I still have it, but it really did nothing for the gun. I designed and had printed the moderator shown in 3D parts. The tube is Carbon Fiber. No longer have the scope shown in pic so it's not included in price.
$400

3)Xisico Sentry .25 - I removed the original pickle and forearm and made the stock and shroud as it is now. I was in the process of tuning it when I got side tracked with this house. My notes indicate it was pushing the 25.4 jsb's right at 900fps. The transfer port was opened up and I think I changed the spring, but can't remember what else I did to it. Has fill probe and I think 2 mags and a SS tray. Scope shown in pic not included.
$150SOLD

4) Drager 45 min tank. Purchased as new old stock. Manu 6/19. I filled it a single time to be sure it held air and it's been sitting back in it's box since, still at the same pressure.
$400

5)Riton X1 Conquer 6-24x50 - like new in box. Used it in the yard sighting guns in but that's it. Comes with box and all the paperwork. Even have a shade that came from my junk drawer that fits it. Got a couple marks on that, but just throwing it in if someone wants it. (It's the scope shown on the FX Thor above)
$150

6) Huggett Bellita for .177/.22 - nice compact moderator with great sound reduction - $115

If I get rid of the about stuff I will also be selling my 2011 tank and Shoebox with hotdog compressor.

I also have a workbench full of random parts, pellets, rings, bases, scopes, smaller tanks, barrels, etc.

I have more pics, just didn't want to clutter up the ad too much. If you're interested in something and need pics feel free to ask.

If I don't sell the stuff local by the time it comes to move it I will ship.

Only accepting CASH, Money Order, Paypal F&F and Venmo.

Hi Guys
I have a problem with FX impact M3
I found that my poi followed a repeatable pattern through the course of a fill
there isn't any contact between the barrel and air tube
barrel cleaned and scope parallax is ok ,scope rail and mount is tight enough and liner is indexed
ES is only 5fps in shoot steering(more than 50 shoots) and 5 shoots group is very tight(8~10 mm in 50m)
but group shift have clockwise pattern start from 12 to 3 then 6 and 9 and last 12 after zero in each of them
any one have a suggestion?
