These are some nice diy presses. I once used a car scissor jack. And some sudden wooden guides to hold the rifle in place. Got the idea from an Indian guy on YouTube.

I want to try that O-ring idea. It feels right even apart from alignment issues. Thanks for the tips. I ordered a new buck rail moderator, this time in .25 and it works... Still, I sympathize with your point chicken dumpling. Maybe every gun is different and on some it is worth making that...

My first PCP was a Quackenbush 9mm pistol. 125 fpe before tuning. I hand pump it still... You really earn your shots that way.

I purchased an Avenger .22 from Alhenry on the classifieds here and am very happy with it. (I want to get a wood stock for it but that's for another thread.) The Avenger is not terribly loud but loud enough that I wanted to try a moderator on it. I ordered the DonnyFl extender adapter from...

Many people got into shooting (of any kind) for the first time about four years ago. I was one of these. I also got a bow and a muzzle loader. With me airgunning (and the bow) really stuck and I am still very much enjoying it, though I don't spend a lot of money on it, I gradually go deeper. I...

That is satisfying I bet. Good work. I have a Ruger Air Magnum which is a copy of the RWS 350. The trigger is plastic but I like the gun a lot despite that. It was my first airgun. Hmmm ...I wonder if the vortek spring kit you got would fit mine... The power has decreased a bit over the past...

I'll try to do that jcalvert. I'm glad you found the thread useful. I did too! There are many helpful people on this site, with a lot of experience. So far the avenger seems really accurate and easy to use but I am not in love without it feels. Maybe a wood stock would help ... It was also a lot...

I went ahead and got the Avenger from the classifieds. The purchase was a good experience and so far I like the gun, except for the plastic stock. Also, it feels so top heavy compared to my break barrel....but I'm already much more accurate with it. My first gun with a magazine too. I think I...

Appreciate all the tips. The Notos is in the lead...just saw an Avenger w/ scope in the classifieds for $265 too. I'm having target panic...too many options.

Oh man...let me re-examine the budget. That looks nice. I have not looked at the notos but now I will. $50 for the Air-tact?! Maybe I will get two pesters...

I love my cheap magnum break barrel .22, but it's ridonculously big (48" ; 50"plus with buck rail moderator screwed on) for my little Nissan farm pickup. I would like around 20ft lbs, 40" or shorter and around $200 or even less. I'm tempted to try the Crosman 362 or 3622, though they seem a...

Hard to believe it has taken me three years to finally get around to trying Air n Gasman's Hammer spring adjustment tips on this 9mm DAQ... but I have finally begun and have a preliminary report for anyone interested in DAQ pistols. I first removed the original hammer spring and took it to the...

That's gotta be satisfying. Nice.

Last time I posted I had been shooting cans off hand and said, "Don't ask me for groups." That got me thinking yesterday that maybe I could actually try for some groups with my cheap magnum springer. Here they are: 25 yds Gun rested on the back of a chair Ruger Air Magnum .22 JSB Hades 15.89...
