N/A  What is a good Airgun

I do like the idea of a bullpup I have shot one and it seems to be more comfortable since it’s a shorter gun, but in general I think I could get comfortable with both. A lighter gun is definitely nicer. I do small game hunting occasionally.
Then here is your answer: You can easily adjust the hammer spring to shoot a wide variety of pellets. Its compact form makes it good for hunting but it also can be benched quite easily. One of the BEST triggers on an airgun. Built like a tank. Always holds air and stupid accurate with a wide variety of pellets. The only downside is that it is not a lightweight gun.

Benjamin  Benjamin Franklin 317 arrived today

Could you please tell me how you came up with that date? What research method do you use? I did some internet searching and could not pin down a manufacture date. As stated, there is no serial number anywhere. I would like to know for future research on other air guns.
Thanks!
Do you have an approximate value?

.22 LR vs .22 slug

I think another way to make firewalkers point is if you hop up a 22 pcp to shoot a slug with the same bc as a 22 LR bullet at the same speed it is going to travel equally far. It is not the propellant that matters it is the bc and velocity. That is 100% true. I don't think it's very practical to make a pcp do this (you won't get many shots) but it has been done. You might also be able to get a LR down to the noise level of an airgun but it would take a monster moderator so I don't see the practicality of that either. Inherently I still think LRs tend to shoot further and noisier but those pushing their pcps up a lot need to remember they can overcome the general tendencies.

N/A  What is a good Airgun

I think if i was a nubie and someone said buy a more complicated gun , i would most likely not last too long in the hobby . I would receive the gun dreaming of fiddling with it like i read about . (thinking all i need to do is turn this up or down ) , not knowing anything about balance end up with a very poor unbalanced shooting gun ,

Welcome to AIRGUN NATION - please introduce yourself here!

Hi,

I’m new here and and getting more into airguns lately. I’m a fan of vintage stuff as I enjoy restoring and fixing things. I do professional restoration on woodworking hand tools, some lamps/fans, and straight razors. Not long left full time but since I’m retired in my 30’s I do it for extra money and because I enjoy it.

I was a bomb tech (eod) until a boom disagreed with the nerves in my head/face and the army told me I was retiring

I do have my hands full though with home ownership (endless maintenance/upkeep/etc), a wife who is constantly creating more work for me, and a adorable but incredibly high man 2 year old tyrant toddler daughter who loves me beyond belief but also views me as her indentured servants.
I have been in close proximity to exploring ordinance (self induced of course) and the thing I remember most is the small of dirt. I hope all is well with you these days.

Umarex  Notos - CRC Precision 25cc Plenum

I haven’t tested my total shot count, but it seems pretty similar to stock. I will do a full capacity test this weekend if I can. I didn’t touch the hammer or the regulator so those are still the way they came from the factory.

Not sure what the arc plenum is, but gaining 75 fps with the plenum is a pretty significant boost. More than 10% speed increase just from the plenum. Haven’t messed with hammer or reg because I wanted to preserve shot count, to a degree.
dam auto correct, CRC plenum

N/A  Cheapest accurate, reliable, cocking, .22 pistol with red dot or other optic?

Looking for the cheapest, yet accurate/precise and reliable, cocking pistol with red dot or scope. Maximum distance would be 10 meters. Preferable precision would be 1 inch or better at that distance. I have a scoped springer Hatsan .22 rifle that I'm pleased with, the pistol version of that is what I sort of have in mind, if such exists. The Hatsan Mod 25 Supercharger .22, maybe with a Hatsan red dot looks like it might be what I'm looking for. Don't want to deal with charging or CO2, just cock and pop. Prefer to stick with .22 cal.

Before I pull the trigger on that, I thought I'd ask the collective wisdom if there's anything better for that sort of $$$. Even cheaper would be better. This would be a beater working air pistol, not for show, not for the Olympics.

Sadly, this is for rats, so sufficient power is also a requirement, as is reliability, but this thing probably wouldn't see more than 30 shots a year, so super amazing durabiity isn't necessary. I live out in the middle of nowhere and rats are a real issue. I was never a hunter and have tried many, many, many other non-lethal methods with limited degrees of success, but I need additional options.
I have one, tin can at 15-20. Need to get out and see what it is really capable of. Been vert cold.

FX  FX DRS Tactical, just awesome 👌

Just threaded, no cups installed.
I appreciate all of the great information. I had a terrible experience with one of the early DRS classics. it was junk. Probe would not line up properly and it would destroy the "o" ring. I hope it was destroyed.
FX took it back.
When I purchase any airgun now, I want it shot tested with data and leak tested [10 days] before shipping to me. That's why I only deal with one shop. Period.

Benjamin  Benjamin Franklin 317 arrived today

Does it have "AIR HOLE DONT OIL" at the air intake hole? The hole is located under the lever.

Your 317 was manufactured in early to mid-1941.
Could you please tell me how you came up with that date? What research method do you use? I did some internet searching and could not pin down a manufacture date. As stated, there is no serial number anywhere. I would like to know for future research on other air guns.

FX  Wildcat MK3 BT Pellet probe screw sheared off problem

Something is amiss to be shearing screws. You could get a grade 8 fastener but that is only a bandaid. I hope you find the root cause.
Is it stronger than the original screw and fits snugly into the pin probe pin so that I doesn't wobble when the gun is shot?
