    Hand pump recommendations

    I got a Stoeger brand pump, and the pump that I received is different in some ways from the one in the manual. I have not had it long enough to know to what extent they are different, but I have already had to replace a few o rings, which were supplied. I guess my advice is, get something that...

    N/A Where is everyone selling their springers

    I am hoping to sell one on here soon. I am finding that the value of said rifle might be a lot lower than I was hoping, especially considering I just bought it last year. It seems that g-broker is hit or miss, like they don't have a lot, and the sellers typically don't know anything about...

    Scope and Hand Pump for Umarex Notos

    I bought a Mantis (Air Venturi, I think..) 3x9 scope and it seems to be good enough for my short range shooting. The parallax is adjustable down to 5 yds, which is nice. I have little experience with any scopes over $100, so that's all I know right now. Unfortunately, the farthest I can shoot in...

    New Member, Hello!

    I am going to use hand tools. I may cut some parts down to size with a saw, if I can, but otherwise it's going to be rasps, sanding, and Dremel work. Don't expect to see anything soon! The fun/ hard part is deciding what kind of stock to do. I am still going to go traditional, but add a higher...

    New Member, Hello!

    Glad to be here! I got into airguns recently, partly as a hobby and partly for some occasional pest control. We have really aggressive rabbits around here and enough was enough! I was previously a fan of old military firearms, but cost and time and places to shoot that were fun have gotten the...

    Advice Needed

    How friendly are you with your neighbors? I asked all of mine if they would mind me shooting in the back yard and they all said it would be ok as long as I don't shoot at their house. Haha. I am still a bit self conscious about it though, at least until it cools off and people start closing...

    N/A 14-15fpe .22 Springer

    I have both a Cometa and a "nice" Norica. I think most of the Noricas you can buy stateside are the cheaper models, but I have no experience with them. The Hawk might be the top of the line of what's available. If you order from some euro websites you can get the Storm or Marvic which have no...

    N/A Cometa Fenix 400 .22

    I am pretty new to airguns and the nicest (most expensive) rifle I have to compare is a Diana 48. The Cometa is not quite as nice..you can tell the materials in the Diana are nicer. That being said, it is still a really nice gun and shooting it is fantastic. I have the beech stock and it's ok...

    N/A Cometa Fenix 400 .22

    I bought a 400 in .25 and also ordered a .22 barrel from the Fusion. The rear sight on the .25 seemed like it was bend on an angle a bit and I couldn't get over that. They are plastic on this model. Also the front fiber optic was a tad big. But, I put that .22 barrel on and this thing will one...
