    Is JSAR still open?

    A bit off topic, but seemed like the best place to give feedback to this. The last vestige of usefulness of GTA to me was it's individual dealer forums. When they went away GTA lost a lot of value and I haven't been back. I missed the notice they were going to away and any explanation of why...

    What Machine will Cut 1/4 Steel Shapes?

    ... laser, plasma, or water jet.

    Your favorite .30 PCP?

    FX Crown... mostly because it is quite accurate with slugs while I can't get my Impact's slug barrel to shoot them worth snot.

    Deer in the way

    That's funny. Deer season?

    Ouch.....

    This is why one should always wear eye protection! I have been hit by ricochets a number of times.

    Tips for glasses and rangefinders

    Yeppers. I like the Nikon RangeX. Crazy fast and I have no problem using it with my glasses.

    Crazy expansion from .22 cal Nielsen 17.5 gr. HP on chipmunk.

    They do indeed. I can tell the difference between a hit or miss with my eyes closed. They anchor critters with aplomb.

    Crazy expansion from .22 cal Nielsen 17.5 gr. HP on chipmunk.

    Leaving the barrel around 900 fps from RTI Priest. Chipmunk a short 10 yards away. Slug entered cheek and lodged under skin half way down the spine. This is my go-to small pest combo but have also taken quite a few squirrels with it for the plate.

    RTI Prophet .25 Arrived

    The holes where you push the pellets in are too small on RTI mags. Makes it difficult to seat without a tool. Negative of reversible magazines. I replaced with CARM magazines and they are much nicer to load...plus they have a shot counter. Only right hand sided though...

    Really screwed up sorting...

    I sort mine by shinyness. :-D

    Hybrids Slugs vs Pigeons

    Sounds like it was very windy there. I like that you showed misses as well as hits. Looks like a blast.

    Ataman M2R Ultra-Compact only $1200? + free $100 magazine?

    This seems pretty similar to the Brocock Commander Hi-lite but it comes with a larger capacity CF bottle and externally adjustable reg and hammer spring. https://brocock.co.uk/commander-airgun/

    Pellet recommendations for hunting in 25cal

    I haven't had any luck with Grizzlies in any gun I've used them in...just horribly inaccurate. Predator Polymags are devastating but start losing accuracy around 50. JSB King Heavies are the closest thing to slugs in distance capability if you can't find a slug that shoots accurately but you...

    Best Alternative to Ballistic Gel?

    My RTI Priest launches them about 900 fps at 1600 psi reg. pressure. This one was only 10 yards away. Was a little surprised it didn't pass through. I've had very good expansion with the 17.5 gr. and 20.2 gr. NSA's.

    Best Alternative to Ballistic Gel?

    Melt and pour glycerin soap was recommended on several forums. I bought a 25 lb. bar for about $50. Reusable...just melt and pour back into a container. https://www.candlescience.com/soap-bases/stephenson-hcvs-melt-and-pour-soap-base

    What does the red and green band means on Gamo rifles?

    Did it lose power? 😁

    Definitely a scammer

    What's a newspaper. :-D I won't buy anything without a phone call. My spidey sense can weed out a scammer pretty quick with a little conversation. The very specific photograph does stop the cases where people just copy ads, but I don't like to waste the person's time so if I do ask for a...

    Best Alternative to Ballistic Gel?

    Nothing beats the real deal. This is a 17.5 gr. NSA .22 cal. removed from a squirrel.

    Airgun safety - Consumers Should Demand Better

    Agreed. My Crown would do a similar dangerous thing. If you bumped the trigger when the safety was on, it would fire when you switched the safety off. It turns out the blocker set screw was not turned in deep enough. This should be set correctly at the factory. The entire idea of gun...
