    Daisy 2x Minty 777s

    I had to save a copy of this. This is the highest I've ever seen one of these sell for. People don't respond to well to a buy now with a high price but when you sell something nice with a low starting bid and let people decide the price it seems to have a better outcome. 37 people bid on this...

    Daisy 2x Minty 777s

    A guy on ebay was making them a few years ago. I think it was around $65. I thought about sanding down the raised ridges, especially the thumb shelf. I think they stick out too much. There's a wooden grip on ebay now but I think it was $190. It's more of a target grip with the flat base,

    Daisy 2x Minty 777s

    Traded for a skateboard...that's sad, I hate those things. graycrait That's a great deal. I always miss out on the good "buy now" deals. There's a pretty nice 747 on ebay starting at $89. with 3 days to go and a new 777 for $475. That's too much but somebody wanted $599. for one a couple...

    HW 97 regular stock or thumb hole pros and cons

    I'd like to try the HW97 just to see if it works for me but I couldn't expect it to perform better than the 97KT. I like how the TX200 grip fits my hand but I've never shot any springer as well and consistently as the 97KT. I'm confident when I shoot the 97 so it's grown on me. I have a...

    HW 97 regular stock or thumb hole pros and cons

    After getting use to the grip my HW97 KT is my most consistent shooter. I relax my thumb and gently pull the gun back into my shoulder with my fingers. My TX200 is accurate but as with other guns I often have a slight POI shift. Groups are still tight but many times they are an inch off in...

    Tuning Walther Parrus, modifying trigger

    You can also "turn off" the automatic safety in the Parrus/Terrus. Easiest to explain with the colored diagram above. You see the green colored rounded knob that sticks up and fits between the 2 tabs on the bottom of the safety switch. See how the distance from one tab to the end of the...

    Tuning Walther Parrus, modifying trigger

    I got a Terrus a couple years ago and had the same problem. It was said to have a 3 lb trigger. A guy said he sold his because it had a two fingered trigger. I got my 1st trigger gauge just to see and it was breaking at 5 lbs. After reading about replacing the trigger spring that's what I...

    HW 97 regular stock or thumb hole pros and cons

    I had the same problem deciding but I got the KT. I was also trying to decide between the HW97 - HW98 & the TX200. I got the HW97 first but got a used 98 for $450 and the TX for $480. I wish I could have shot the 97KT before buying. It shoots good and now has a fac Vortek kit and Vac...

    FWB 300S piston question

    I thought I got a good deal on a 300S on ebay several months ago and it was shooting around 690fps. I thought maybe it had an arctic spring but the cocking lever seemed way too hard to close so I haven't been shooting it. I thought maybe it had too many spacer/power washers installed. It had...

    New Weihrauch HW97K

    I ordered the 97KT yesterday from Krale. I'll give the "boxed" Crosman Premiers a try. I keep forgetting about those. I usually focus on the JSB & AA.

    Misenheimer Pellet Pouch

    I had a nice little black leather Beeman pouch that worked like that about 35 years ago. I don't know what happened to it but I miss it. Probably cost 5 or 10 bucks back then.

    Webley Alecto fun

    I didn't find out about them until after they stopped selling them but then a guy had 3 for sale on ebay last summer and I grabbed one. It does just over 400fps with one pump which works fine for 10 to 15 yards. I like the trigger and it's very accurate. I wanted to put a scope on it but it...

    HW55 is the one

    It was $440. when I made that post. I saw it was $670. before I went to work. I watched that 300 Tyro go for $1825. at the last minute. That seller must have gotten someones collection of FWB's. They sold a bunch of FWB's and they were all very clean. I almost went for this...

    HW55 is the one

    You guys have a nice collection of the HW55 and some history. I was just looking for some info on the 55 after seeing a nice one on ebay listed as Beeman hw55mm. It looks a lot like the one in JohnL57's post. I'm not trying to sell it, just thought you HW55 guys might be interested. I had a...
