Back in the 1970’s I used a product called “Finish Feeder”. Lemon oil and beeswax. Worked miracles on antiques. This product looks similar. I just ordered a bottle. Thank you.

Must be the rifle. She’d rather have me restored. Lol

A “grandpa’s estate “ gun. 1972. I was 16 then. This has nice wood hiding under this 53 year old finish. The nickel is nearly perfect. One tiny rub about the size of a bb Is all from calling it ”as new”. The question I have is; Should this stock be refinished? It has some dings and handling...

I picked up this Daisy 753W on the AOA used sight. Just got it last night. NOS. Never used. Daisy discontinued this model a few years back. It fires 7 grain Basic lead pellets over 500 fps. Here are two 40 yard targets. (1-5 shot & 1-6 shot) RWS-R10. Trigger is atrocious. That will be next.

Congratulation! It’s not long. It has a lot of preload. It takes a spring compressor with a long throw to get the spring in. You will lose a bit of power by cutting the spring down. I also line the piston with blister pack plastic. Just thick enough to hold the spring in snuggly. This eliminates...

The issue with the Diana 75’s is the original piston seal were gum rubber. They just don’t last. If ever oiled they quickly deteriorate. It’s expensive and difficult to find someone who replaces the seals. I had two lefties for decades and before the internet, I just couldn’t find anyone who...

Pumpers aren’t the “dark side”. They’re the catalyst.

Great day for me as well cavedweller. Always fun to talk Airguns with a fellow enthusiast. Something special about reliving our childhood. Looking forward to a long and special friendship.

What gun are you wanting to tune? A tune kit can easily run $100+. Many economy guns are not worth putting this kind of money into. A gun can be tuned to eliminate twang and shoot very pleasant with the factory spring and seals. Most tune kits are for the better guns also. Depends on what you...

Will that 273 sight fir a Sheridan? Is there such a thing?

Great find! The picture shows the bb loading port on the bolt side of the receiver. I’m not aware that was ever the case.

Has anyone here had the steroid procedure done lately and could share what is costs? Also, how long it takes to be completed? If memory serves and it doesn’t, when I talked with Tim at Mac1 earlier last year the procedure would cost around $275. Does this sound right? I never write things down...

The 392 & 397 are discontinued. Of course the C9,( .20 caliber) has been gone for a while now.

Definitely a Beechwood stock. Whoever finished it achieved a nice color. Beautiful gun.

Thank you. I didn’t build it however. Someone made this special rifle and I am blessed to be the next caretaker. It’s a Steve Corcoran stock.
