    New Foam Mattress and Sleeping Beauty

    That is an awesome price! I wonder if you're able to get it so cheap because it's made next door to you? Regardless, I am jealous of how tight that Epic fits into that case. I love folding stocks, for that reason alone. Nice job, and nice gear!

    New Foam Mattress and Sleeping Beauty

    It's not going to be cheap. They are not really about value, or looking to sell a lot of so-so junk. They literally make the best stuff going and are not looking to damage their status or reputation by cut throat pricing or manufacturing techniques. If you travel and have big money invested...

    JTS 18gr vs JSB 20.83gr KO slugs

    I tried them in my Barra 250z and the 20.83gr KO's are the bomb! Definately, after 11 different slugs, this is what I was looking for. Thanks for the tip, because I never would have tried .216 without your recommendation.

    N/A EVOL vs Epic two

    I never ever said or implied that it wasn't, I said that if someone is just looking for the best, no compromise in materials, airgun, the Evol is a step up, at the top of a very high set of stairs, compared to just about everyone else, shy of bespoke guns. My sub-$300 airguns are sweet too, all...

    .30 cal Fx hybrids going crazy…..

    Hybrids in my AAA Paradigm shoot hole in hole at 53y, for 30 shots, then I have to pull a patch. So every fill, I pull a patch and they are lights out accurate. Yes, this is kind of a pain, but it's consitent. So much so, that it is worth doing, nothing shoots better. Clean your barrel well...

    N/A EVOL vs Epic two

    The point is, that for the price you are paying for both of them, one receiver is almost twice as strong as the other. If push comes to shove, who in their right mind would choose 6061 over 7075 if you had a choice at all? Not me. Buy what you like, and what's good enough for you, but if you...

    N/A EVOL vs Epic two

    There is a cosmetic similarity between a 6061 receiver and a 7075 one. When Epic makes the jump to 7075, then it will really be epic.

    Barra Slugs in the 250z

    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.

    AAA Evol tweakage

    Yeah, I read that, and agree kind of. I mean, some people do like it fine, right? I like it too, but I like other things also and don't want everything to be the same. Whatever happened to regular old rifle stocks? The Revere, to me, is one of the best looking airguns around. Why aren't more...

    AAA Evol tweakage

    I don't know, I really really wish they would lose the effing pistol grip and use a regular sporting/hunting stock to keep the vertical profile down. Enough already, there are tactical AR compatible versions for this, tactical versions, and chassis systems. Stop doing it in wood too. Rant...

    Other Best .22 PCP for the cost, avoiding buyer's remorse...

    This answer is the correct one. A Taipan or a Uragan or a Cricket. Buy used, they are good guns and one previous owner isn't going to change that.

    New Foam Mattress and Sleeping Beauty

    Nice Huh? The absolute best foam in the aerospace container industry, Zote LD45, closed cell nonporous inert = AWESOME! This stuff can take a 24 hour bath in brake cleaner, unscathed. The company that did this (OSAAP) is looking to get into the high end protection market for airguns and I got to...

    Umarex New User with New Hammer

    To come boasting about years of experience and yet never hearing about something as ubiquitous as all the project guns utilizing bottles with regulators with fill nipples on them where you had to turn them to line up, come on, you'd have to have been living under a rock, or simply never cared to...

    Umarex New User with New Hammer

    It sounds like you needed well over 21 years. I have been playing with them, the good ones, for over 40years, and I started with pcps 35 years ago, and since I have been on the internet I have seen and heard about the loose bottle until filled plenty, especially since the Gauntlet first came...
