    Airforce Tuning .457 Texan SS

    Thanks PNW Airgunner, I’ve been in the “adult” airgunning world for over 15 years now, and have primarily hunted with them since, so extremely familiar with their intricacies. I was heavily involved until I retired from the ‘Corps 10 years ago, and on multiple forums doing product testing for...

    Airforce Tuning .457 Texan SS

    So I’ve had two shooting sessions with the new Texan SS. I’ve shot NSA 220’s and 240’s, the 240’s shoot the best to 100 yards. I got some 279gr Hunters Specialties with a big meplat, which is what I prefer…they’re 3 inch at best at 50, and 6 inches at 100. Mr.hollowpoint 250’s shoot similar. But...

    Tuning Cricket Leak Fixed and gun tuned...with a couple of upgrades

    Shambozzie, I grew up with a Sheridan Silver Streak, which I still have...(Dad bought it when I was 3, built in '65, the year I was born), and I shot it a LOT growing up...I could reach FAR past my friend's Crosman's and Daisy's. I got back into airguns when I was stationed in Hawaii and...

    Tuning Cricket Leak Fixed and gun tuned...with a couple of upgrades

    So I did a post a few weeks back on my leaking gauge on my Cricket. I bought the gun 8 years ago as a retirement gift to myself when I retired from the Marine Corps...my first (hi-end) airgun. Until then I had my first airgun, a BSA Hornet (which I still have, which still shoots like a laser)...

    Ok, let's talk Benjamin Armada for the NRL22 AG class....

    Just went and looked at the AAA guns...that's a hard nope....nice guns...but well out of the price point I'm willing to spend up front on an airgun....that's nearly twice what I've got in my RPR, and I could buy 3 precision .22LR guns to shoot NRL with for that money....I realize the Armada is...

    Helping a friend with his Peach Thief Problem

    Longfellow, I grew up with a Sheridan Silver Streak. My Dad bought it "for me" when I was 3. That was 1968....apparently he paid $33 for it, but money was extremely tight and it ticked my Mom off that he bought it on a whim...when I was 6, she "made" him give it to me...LOL! I still have it...

    Ok, let's talk Benjamin Armada for the NRL22 AG class....

    I've been out of the active airgunning world for a few years now...10-12 years ago I was neck-deep...when the Marauder first came out...I still have a modified .22 Gen I that I did some valve and port work and installed an LW barrel in with a custom, laminated thumbhole stock with some nice...

    Helping a friend with his Peach Thief Problem

    A landowner friend of mine who used to be a coworker before he retired offered his property up for squirrel hunting last fall. I of course accepted! A fantastic guy, whose family has owned his property here in NW Florida for over 150 years. They had significantly more until 50-60 years ago when...

    Tuning Kalibre Cricket Leaking...tools are scarce.

    The Socket Size is 27mm, although I'm told an SAE 1-1/16 socket will also work. I turned the OD down to 1.212.....one thing of note, many sockets are not truly centered internally, this particular one is about .007 out of round internally....it still works perfectly, but two of the six 'tines'...

    Tuning Kalibre Cricket Leaking...tools are scarce.

    I've had this Cricket for nearly 8 years. I realized a lot of the airgun world has moved on, but 8 years ago, it was one of the best on the market, and my first "High-end" airgun I bought. It was a retirement gift to myself after 30 years in the Marine Corps and it's been absolutely flawless...

    .457 piledriver initial sight in

    I’ve got one of these on the way, should be here Monday. I like the looks of that accuracy. I’ve shot several Texans and am just not a fan of the ergonomics...looking forward to giving this thing a run. I’m primarily a hunter, and this will be my first seriously powered big bore. I’ve had a...

    I've been out of the airgun world for a few years

    And coming back in is even more exciting than it's ever been...just, WOW! I got in this game with Spring Guns about two years before Benjamin set the world on its ear with the First Gen Marauder at an affordable, everyman price point. I still have my Gen I Marauder and it's still a...
