    Evanix Are you looking for magazines for .177 Rainstorm?

    I just bought four of these from this gentleman. Quick service and well packaged. I believe he works for Pyramyd Air. He gave permission to post his contact information. These are for the original Rainstorm, not the II model. His email for contact is [email protected] As I wrote, he gave...

    Evanix magazines, .177 Evanix rainstorm

    Have a nice Evanix Rainstorm in .177. Now I need a few more magazines for it. I see they are apparently hard to find. Anyone know where some may be available? Even if TheRump tariff might be raising prices.

    FX Anyone got there FX DRS in yet??

    Will one see any actual difference in accuracy with the 600mm barrel compared to the 500mm - shooting .177 pellets? The 600 holds a bit more air so more shots per fill. Don't find any numbers on how many more on the FX sites I see. Any real world experience with them?

    FX FX Streamline mini magazines?

    Recently got a .25 Streamline. Very nice rifle. Now looking for the mini magazines. In checking I find a few aftermarket offerings. eBay & commercial made magazines as well as some dealers with the factory mags - at much higher prices. Are any of the aftermarket magazines as good or even...

    Rats are back again

    You are shooting rats. Closest here are muskrats. Often head shots while swimming. They are in ponds and sloughs and cause a lot of road damage when the ponds are alongside. Burrow in the banks under the roads and can cause collapsing holes which are a big problem if you are driving. Road...

    Hunting Iguanas With PJ! Awesome time with a friend

    We don't have the opportunity for Iguanas or similar. Miss out on what you are shooting. Then again, in our area of North Dakota(right up against the Canadian Border) we have no rattlesnakes or poisonous snakes of any kind. No Black Widow or Brown Recluse spiders either. Not unless they come in...

    New place to shoot pigeons

    Live in farm country in North Dakota. A number of grain elevators like it when I come by with the Air Rifles. Pigeons galore get nailed. Shoot outside, not in. Let the lie and the next morning the feral/outdoor housecats have finished them off.

    Crosman Crosman Mark 1 target - needs work

    Have an older pistol & the CO2 leaks out pretty fast. It is a 22. Who works on othem? Would prefer an independent shop or craftsman if possible rather than a Corporate group.

    Crosman Crosman Pumper - a PCP?

    Have an older Crosman pump .22 air rifle. On the area behind where the pellet goes it says CROSMAN .22 Oct 28, 1924 Patents Pending. On the other side it says MFD BY CROSMAN ARMS CO Rochester, NY A couple years ago it would pump up and shoot just fine. Then...

    Nova FReedom - better barrel?

    Looking at the Nova Freedom. Like the idea. Any chance to switch out the barrel and put in a Lothar Walther or similar higher quality one? Are there shops or custom guys who could do this? I like accurate Air Rifles but reality is they will be with me in the cab of a pickup on dirt and gravel...

    Nova Freedom verdict?

    Now that this and the Aspen version have been out for awhile - what is the verdict? Do they hold up? Is accuracy as good as it could be? Would fitting a Lothar Walther barrel be worth it? Yes, the stock is cheezy plastic - any way to improve it? The idea is really good. For some reason we...
