IMHO - you are wasting time and effort buying a 2-door car and expecting to transform it into a dump truck. Can it be done? Yes Can it be done well? No Can it be done easily? No Will it be worth the effort? NO - unless that is your focus with the hobby - making the improbable do the thing is...

It has been an honor to serve. Last Friday I hung up the belt. On to the next chapter.

This right here is the reason I will never trade with people like the quoted. AGN is NOT a commerce sight nor is it a Craigs list for airgun stuff. It is a discussion forum. The classified section list at the bottom of the Forum list for a reason - it is an add-on feature that is to benefit...

You need to be 100% sure of your legality before you post a video of you doing some shady sheet... Just shooting pellets in many large cities will get you a trip downtown. Shooting an air rifle in ROCKVILLE MD and providing the police with a nice video to document your actions... sure seems...

IMHO - I would be VERY selective with advice provided for this young man. The sawed-off break barrel in an urban setting is likely to end in tragedy, or worse. Moreover, the respect needed to SAFELY deal with PCP pressures is sadly not present with him (yet). I see shades of Conner Hollifield...

In my simple mind, it's a matter of energy INTO the right part of the target makes the kill, every bit of energy that passes through the target (and/or passes through a non-vital area) is not needed. Getting a decent trajectory and a manageable time to target is the other side of the same coin...

The Tormenta is really good for my use. I have not changed anything on the rifle (a first for me). I am sure that the Tormenta has room to improve, but I am not looking for that last 5% of perfection. The rifle is accurate and reasonably efficient. I get 4 magazines from a full load of air...

My experience is that after 50k shots, a part wore out partly because I hot rodded to 42+ FPE and set a hair trigger. I now have a new part and the gun is shooting better than ever, at about half the FPE and twice the air number of shots available that at full power. I bought a Reximex...

You mean like taking personal ownership of your membership responsibility? You had to read and agree to follow some very basic rules when you signed up for AGN. You need to decide for yourself if having the privilege of making posts here is a worthy exchange for following the rule. It is...

Snow is notoriously difficult to read tracks, unless they are steaming fresh. A mud print would be the best bet. Dogs tend to have the middle two phalanges extend past the outer two, and of course the cat family has retractable nails. Reading tracks has been my profession for the last 24+...

Got a link on Amazon?

You need to bleed pressure from your gun. The slow way is to dry fire it until the tank is empty. The fast way will be to crack open the pressure gauge just enough to let it start to bleed pressure. When the gun is empty, the fill probe and fill whip will also be empty. Do it slow. Wear eye...

Just got a "back in stock" notice for the Kral Puncher Breaker hammer. I have been on the waiting list for over 2 years. https://spares.bagnallandkirkwood.co.uk/kral-kralav/kral-puncher-2/ Go get 'em!

Another quickie order from the shop. Gotta love being the "go-to guy" to get things done. Got a call on Saturday night, asking if I could turn this around by the next Saturday. Supplier came through with the material and the laser-man got lucky with design and prototype. The feet in...

For a guy who has been absent from AGN for the last 8 months, you sure seem to think that you know best how to run the place. SMH. Your post concerns the operation and organization of the forum. Well look there, by definition it is a Forum Feedback topic. The General Discussion forum is a...
