No one can.

Yeah, when you get a gun tuned like that …. and looks that nice.
You likely would never be able to replace it

Talking here on AGN is a good thing. A couple days ago a member here reminded me of something that I have totally overlooked and forgotten. Funny how this happens. He mentioned the scope grooves on my custom steroid. Asked if it had them. Wow. I totally forgot this. So yesterday I dug around in my extra scope department and came up with this 4x32 Simmons Shotgun scope. The parallax is set to 50 yards for a shotgun scope if memory serves. Which clearly it doesn’t. Anyway, this Simmons can be manually adjusted through the front objective lens with a tool I made. Moves freely back and forth. Also has extra eye relief. The scope fit the 392 perfectly. Easy to cock, pump and load. It’s a very light weight scope also. Shot it in this morning at 40 yards using CPHP‘s. Five pumps and it’s sending them around 625 fps with very good accuracy. Thank you rokonman.View attachment 548220 View attachment 548221

This is a beautiful pumper —- holding it and shooting it only impresses you more!

Found this old pumper at a local gun show . I think it’s a Crosman 109 town and country Jr. in 177. I haven’t found much online read one post that the 109 was only made a few years. It’s shooting great about 600fps with 6 pumps wit a 7.4 gr pellet. I just wanted to share this old timer . Enjoy

Nice looking rifle.

Just find a screw and nut that will fit.

Below is at 100 yards, Airforce Texan .308, 150gr 960 ish fps with a Zulus HD 5-20x lrf, Love the wat this .308 is setup now. With a boat tail slug I will be able to really reach out to tag some critters.

Yes.177

With the 700 mm barrel, well the heavy barrel at least slugs worked damn fine ( 13 gr ) also in the STD liner, but unsure if i tried the 10 grainers in it, if i did probably regular 10 gr KO slugs and i can not recall result.
I do remember 10 gr Zan not working good for me.
But tore off the long barrels and DIY CF sleeve and went back to the original 600 mm with a new standard barrel CUZ not able to find any Heavy ones at the time.
The original 600 mm barrel, i would not even give that to the person i loathe the most, it did not work above SUB12 speed / power

Got maverick when it was brand new on market, and a little later the 700 mm barrels when they came out, and it have given me great joy shooting several 10.000 of slugs in the following years.
Im at a place where i might as well have a ammo subscription with Zan, just ordered 10 new boxes of 13 grain yesterday, i shoot 2-3-4 boxes in a day during summer, and often i shoot 2 consecutive days, and do that 2 times a week, so quite a lot of lead launched here.

Right now though i always grab my Epic Two, only think of the Maverick when i see it lying in its case on top of a big cardboard box in my living room, have lived here for like 14 years now and at least 1/2 of my stuff are not unpacked, haven’t even put up light here, i have screen light and a single floor lamp in a corner i use when i work on stuff on my living room table.

So many parts

Yes, many parts, there are already manufacturers of high-flow solenoid balanced valves with a response speed of 200 µs and less at reasonable prices, with elec. trigger is the future...

In your opinion where does ur airgun do the most damage ,in wound channel, first impact, 1 inch in or at exit wound point ? And what ammo do u prefer ??

Depends on the ammo. Hybrid slugs are early, patriots are an inch in, nsa is a little farther and holds its shape better and might be better for bigger critters. I can't say I have a favorite, the energy levels I've got seem to be more than enough anyways so it's about the precision with my current tune.

It’s a willing buyer and a willing seller thing
good luck… my rule is 50% of retail if you want to sell it quickly

50% was right where I was thinking tbh. It's no about recouping it all really. It's mostly just to get it gone because I can't really use it here in Dallas/FW whereas before the move, I lived in Upstate NY where you could fire it out your front door. Thanks for the advice!

Thanks for measurements. That confirms it won’t fit.

Well designed magazine, unfortunately, at least for me, the JTS Airacuda MAX it came with was a dud. WM

I promise I will try some more slugs and probably port some things on my 250z. I’m just waiting until my replacement stock gets here from Barra. I screwed the factory one up trying to install a side folding adapter. It’s kinda hard to shoot a stock less gun.

That's why I didn't touch my stock, I was worried about screwing it up, and I have way to much time into mine to risk it.

I worked with a great sports optician for custom glasses first but the glasses that worked were so unique I couldn't use them for anything else and I am really near sighted. I then tried Ghost rings but my issue was with my front sight, I couldn't see it except under certain light conditions. I suspect I tried nearly every novel non-battery pistol sight that came out during 2000-2012. I worked in a PB store and just could. I even trained with both the front and rear sights taken off and that works well enough for close in shooting if you have practiced enough. I finally gave up on non-battery "old man" sights, as did most. I think practice works best at 7-10yrds, even thinking about sights just gets in the way. For hitting an Olympic 10m target bullseye well-practiced point and shoot is not good enough even if you are from Turkey

For indoor target shooting these days if I want to see both sights, with focus on my front sight down in the basement where I have enough LED strip lights to replicate the sun, I use a single vision pair of glasses with a right 1.5+ flip up lens. I removed the left lens of the cheap flip up readers. That way I resemble an old poorly trained Olympic "style" 10M shooter with poor equipment. But I can see the front and rear sights as well as the target well enough to plink to my hearts content.

I looked up pistol "peep" sights to see what the current conventional opinions are and have to concur that unless you are going for minute of beer can at 15' there isn't much point. There is little to no correlation to what you get from a long gun peep sight to a pistol.

I have similar eye issues and found that “pinhole glasses” solved the problem, at least for me.
Optometrists use these things for eye exams but they are available online. And they’re cheap. Basically solid black plastic “glasses” with thousands of tiny holes. I move my head around until I find one of the holes that brings everything into focus. Perhaps it’s the “pinhole effect” that seems to correct my astigmatism, while simultaneously allowing me to see the rear sight in sharp focus (normally I can only see the front sight and target in any reasonable focus). I always wear these when I shoot.
Also, I need reading glasses anymore, but apparently these pinhole glasses do much the same thing. Only downside is the very limited field of view, which makes them tedious for reading but not a problem for shooting.

Where inside the yellow is the heart?

View attachment 548121

The heart area on that coyote would be represented by the lowest portion of the yellow toward the front leg.

HOWEVER…. what’s not shown on that target are where the humerus and scapula are. As that coyote stands, the heart would be entirely covered by the scapula and a portion of the humerus (upper leg) bone. With a higher powered rifle, this is not an issue…. but with a pellet rifle, those two bones can create some problems.

Having killed hundreds of coyotes in my life, I’m routinely impressed with their toughness and tenacity. Even with my .30 Uragan I’d be looking for CNS shots, unless I could get a nice quartering away shot where odds of impacting anything but a rib are minimal

Hey Jim, check this out!

We shot our TRAC (Tuesday Retired Airgun Challenge) match today, with a "Jim's Folly" target, and had one of our guys topple it in some horrendous wind conditions. I attached our club match report above.

Removed barrel band.
Full float now.

I also started with a Gamo Magnum last year, and recently bought an Avenge-X.
It feels like a cheat code for accuracy compared to the Gamo

You can certainly use a hollow pellet pusher or a pin pellet pusher. Or buy a slug pellet pusher. Or would that be a slug pusher.

Yupp, you made me see the difficulty with my term —
projectile pusher it is then.

Vetmx said:
My failures were mainly slug related but it’s also happened with pellets. But I’m talking heavy pellets related to caliber. The ones you’ll be focusing on if your punching paper at 100 yards. If you are sticking with pellets and want to dabble in 32 or less grain slugs, a 600mm will do as long as it’s not 30 caliber. Without going into great detail and spending twenty minutes typing, a shorter barrel is generally capable of getting you to the speed the longer barreled gun shoots a projectile with great accuracy. But it’s because of radical settings that the shorter gun is not able to match that accuracy.

Thank you. Very helpful!

AGN is not the place to hash out Politics or talk about Politicians. Follow your local and State laws, which vary widely and unpredictablly. Seek professional advice, do not base your actions on some random collection of stories from across the county.

This just sold on GB https://www.gunbroker.com/item/1085680256

Went for $465 which seems like a pretty good deal. I have not kept up with the springer pistol market, more a fan of the SSP’s. What do you guys think? Original? Everything there?

without the barrel weights it would hard for me to bid on it. I think it may be very hard to find them separately. The pistol is on my bucket list though. The weights are what separate the pistol apart from the 65 and the 90.

Hello,
After my trip to Florida I might be going to Ohio.
Looking for people to hunt rats or pigeons with.
If needed I can pay for a guided hunt depending on how expensive and if price is reasonable.

Joe, out of curiosity, why does it matter where i bought them? unless you want toreplace them? From the responses, this sounds like an ongoing, if recent problem.

Shout out to all agn members for helping to making this happen. If you can attend please do so. If this is a success then it will continue to grow. I have no affiliation with this but hopefully any airgun enthusiasts will attend.

Thanks for the “shout out”!

The show is progressing nicely. I’ve got a maximum of 98 tables available for vendors with only 11 left available.

Pyramyd Air, Shooting 7 Targets and Rhino Filed Targets have sponsored some choice raffle items.

Along with all the collectors and hobbyists who have tables we have industry members too. High Pressure Pnuematics, Skout, Serpent Air, Airgunwerks, JG Airguns, and Baker Airguns will be in attendance.
