N/A  Painting a PCP tank?

All steel tanks are painted, most aluminum tanks are painted.

CF tanks include exterior inspections so paint is prohibited other than for marking/numbering.

My tanks are expired, I would be comfortable painting them with a made for plastics paint.

BTW, DOT laws are not applicable to you if your not in commerce. Tear that tag off your pillow too, it doesn't apply to the end user either.

RWS  Did I damage my gun.

he said touched the trigger after the safety . I am not a good reader so usually i read twice ,if their is a question involved . But that is just me .
touch is one thing, hit it enough to pull through two stages is another.
Potato, PoTATO ..

either way. DO THE CHECKLIST.

FX  .25 slug for foxes fx impact m4 newbie here id like to know which slug and tune setup to whack foxes up to 60 yards in .25

Red foxes average 10-11 pounds. That isn't as big as raccoons or coyotes get but it's a lot bigger than a squirrel or rabbit. I would be concerned about getting enough penetration especially at 60 yards with an expanding slug (on a body shot). I test penetration in wet magazines to get an idea of the penetration in muscle tissue. I would want to see penetration in the 15-20 magazine range for an animal the size of a fox. My little P35-25 is just short of 50 fpe shooting JSB 34 grain pellets and will shoot through 19-20 magazines (at 25 yards). So I think it would be OK on foxes with that projectile although I wouldn't want to go all the way to 60 yards with it. But I get much less penetration with expanding projectiles, sometimes only about half. 9-10 magazines is my desired penetration for squirrels. 9-10 magazine level of penetration will shoot through a squirrel if you do not hit the shoulder and will reach vitals even if you do.

So whatever you use I would test penetration if you think you will be taking body shots. The first criteria for the projectiles and tune are that they be accurate in your gun. You also need enough penetration to reach the vitals, however, even if you hit the shoulder.

HW/Weihrauch  Just restored HW50

Nice job, it looks great!

The current "HW 50" (nee HW 99) is quite different internally and makes more power, but those old 50's are a personal favorite. Kinda what an HW 30 wants to be when it grows up - a little more power, a bit more size and weight which is better balanced for many adult shooters, and the only HW sporter to combine their smaller receiver tube with the nifty solid threaded-on rear section. I have one with a stock like yours; plain lines and details, but ergonomic perfection for me.

What springer did you shoot today?

She tried but just could not get into shooting , We both got CCl permits when we moved here as we live outside of town , calling the cop's is a joke time wise .
She needs a challenge. Sometimes targets work. When I I'm instigating a shoot I'll pit two in a match like playing cards. So if a third person comes in, half of the battle is done.

UPS - no firearms shipping policy

I got my P35-25 from Krale in the Netherlands in 2021 via UPS. I got my P35-177 and P35-22 from Krale in the Netherlands in 2022 via UPS. I got a shipping label from Utah Airguns early this year for my Caiman X so I could return it for warranty service but I did not use it. I think it was Fed Ex but it might have been UPS. I got a Bullshark from another member of this forum via Postal Service earlier this year. I shipped it back to him the same way. They did not ask what it was if I remember right. It seems like they all probably do transport airguns but whether they will do it for an individual who is honest and tells them what it is is the question. I know the owner of the local UPS store. If I needed to ship an airgun I would probably go to him.

Lots of people do not understand guns in general and are afraid of them. I suspect that is what we bump up against sometimes. They don't really know they cannot take the shipment but they are afraid and don't want to so they say no.

Events  PSA - Field Target (AAFTA and XFT) - October 26, 2024 - Palmyra, PA

Palmyra Sportsmen's Association (near Hershey, PA) - Field Target - Saturday, October 26, 2024

Our AAFTA (sub 20 fpe) Field Target format is 3 separate 5 lane loops or mini-courses. Someone can shoot all 3 loops for a unique 60 shot match course, or can choose to shoot any combination of loops, including shooting the same loop multiple times. A loop consists of 5 lanes with 2 targets per lane shooting 2 shots per target for a total of 20 shots per loop. There will always be a loop on our rifle range, which is friendly for those that do not want to walk on terrain. Each loop will also have one lane with a forced position (standing or kneeling).

We will also have a loop setup for Extreme Field Target (XFT). This will be a 20 shot course with targets at distances between 15 and 110 yards. Guns are limited to a maximum 80fpe and 30 caliber for use in XFT. We recommend at least 28fpe at the muzzle as a minimum.

There is no single scheduled start time for this event, you can start shooting a course when you show up. Most of the experienced AAFTA shooters will choose to arrive near the earliest start time, and will choose to shoot the full 60 shot course.

You can shoot both AAFTA and XFT field target at this event, be sure to bring the appropriate equipment for each if you intend to participate in both.

We will be open for sign-ups between 9AM and Noon. Cost is $5 per loop. Sign-up and sight in range is at our Competition Rifle Range.

We shoot rain or shine. Our range loop is on a covered range, and if we expect rain, all loops may be on a covered range.

RWS  Did I damage my gun.

IF YOU ONLY HIT THE SAFETY AND THE GUN WENT OFF,YOU HAVE MORE THAN JUST BENT POTENTIAL BARREL OR CRACKED STOCK ISSUE … 😉
SAFETY is first line of protection ,the trigger itself is two stage and should not go off with out pulling at least to it.

Did you hit it ?

All points mentioned. Are VALID.. SEALS WILL BE FINE. . bent for sure if it was full cocked release. That’s fixable. If your lucky the wrist area did not crack

Remove the stock and inspect all screw holes and trigger area for fine cracks. use a magnifying glass. The 350 only uses two areas if I recall, 🧐 front forend and rear guard. Front screw is into the wood only.
Lay the action on a flat surface on the breech ,shim the rear so the compression tube is level to flat surface.. Then look down the space from breech to muzzel. Most Diana’s had droop from factory. So maybe it’s strainer now. Then do the same both sides and you will know if adjustments are needed. Barrel bending is common and doable.
he said touched the trigger after the safety . I am not a good reader so usually i read twice ,if their is a question involved . But that is just me .

Are Any Members Using Hunting Apps?

@Echo Does it help you determine who owns what property?
It is very helpful.
Not sure if you are looking for private or public land but it will definitely help finding public land. Also, it can come handy if someone tries to tell you can't hunt. But as mentioned by @Vetmx there can be errors so its's always a good idea to do more research. Usually also game wardens will tell you to reference to OnX or something similar.
At the end of the day OnX is just a tool used for a refence.
