    hBN (Hexagonal Boron Nitride) vs fouling

    I have been using it for over ten years now. I first got some to use a bullet coating for my powder burners, and applied it by tumbling. Small caliber bullets coated are so slick that they are hard to handle. I really could not see any accuracy improvement or lessened fouling, but then I have...

    HW/Weihrauch Using a peep sight

    I have a Willams on my FWB 124 and the factory diopter on my FWB 300s. In reality they are both about the same distance from my eye. For a sporter/hunting gun the Williams is a smaller more compact unit, and simply looks "cleaner" on the gun. As far as accuracy, there are no flies on the...

    HW/Weihrauch Using a peep sight

    I think it is best to have the "peep" close to your eye. For one thing it will give a longer sight radius which helps accuracy, consider tang sights and the radius that they contribute too. Having said that I do have a couple of old military rifles with aftermarket peep sights which simply...

    Pneumatic fly swatter - calling out to subscriber!

    I got one of those a few weeks ago, I really do not want to use it indoors, getting salt into carpet, upholstery, ect. Went to my son's place about two weeks ago and my 13 year old grandson literally had a blast every day when the sun went down and he could turn some outdoor lights on to...

    HW/Weihrauch How hard is it to make your own stock?

    I once made a full stock for a Pennsylvania (Kentucky long rifle) type muzzle loader only to have a now out of business gunsmith screw it up. It was complete with inlaid patchbox. The stock blank was machine inletted for an octagon barrel so that was a big help, but even then I cannot begin to...

    What pistol did you shoot today

    I had two out for a short time this morning, shooting at hanging soda cans. The wind was up quite a bit so they were really dancing around making for a difficult target. First I had my HW 75, and while quite accurate it takes a lot of effort to cock and tires me out quickly, so I switched to...

    Trigger Expert

    Never seen a FWB 90, but have a couple of 65's and 80's, allon with a 300s rifle. The 300 is fantastic, then there is the IZH 46m, probably the best match trigger I have. My IZH is about 4oz. and I have never had a AD with it.

    Is airgun interest going away?

    I was over at the Ouachita Parish sheriffs range last week and was talking to one of the deputy sheriff range officers. He had never seen one of the high end air guns, so I went back to my truck and brought out a couple of FWB 65's and a HW353 with an Anschutz rear. He wanted to try one of the...

    N/A Market Value of a IZH 46M?

    I have one of each, both a little less than two years old. Metalwork , I do not see any difference, I do like the beech stock on the IZH better than the red black laminate, which I ended up replacing with a set of custom Rink grips. First the little pad on the cocking lever split, when I was...
