    Hatsan Hatsan 95 Vortex Piston Installation

    These are some nice diy presses. I once used a car scissor jack. And some sudden wooden guides to hold the rifle in place. Got the idea from an Indian guy on YouTube.

    Interesting moderator problem with Avenger

    I want to try that O-ring idea. It feels right even apart from alignment issues. Thanks for the tips. I ordered a new buck rail moderator, this time in .25 and it works... Still, I sympathize with your point chicken dumpling. Maybe every gun is different and on some it is worth making that...

    help very new to all this and im confused!

    My first PCP was a Quackenbush 9mm pistol. 125 fpe before tuning. I hand pump it still... You really earn your shots that way.

    Interesting moderator problem with Avenger

    I purchased an Avenger .22 from Alhenry on the classifieds here and am very happy with it. (I want to get a wood stock for it but that's for another thread.) The Avenger is not terribly loud but loud enough that I wanted to try a moderator on it. I ordered the DonnyFl extender adapter from...

    Has the popularity of airguns fallen off from years past?

    Many people got into shooting (of any kind) for the first time about four years ago. I was one of these. I also got a bow and a muzzle loader. With me airgunning (and the bow) really stuck and I am still very much enjoying it, though I don't spend a lot of money on it, I gradually go deeper. I...

    RWS RWS 350 new vortek spring

    That is satisfying I bet. Good work. I have a Ruger Air Magnum which is a copy of the RWS 350. The trigger is plastic but I like the gun a lot despite that. It was my first airgun. Hmmm ...I wonder if the vortek spring kit you got would fit mine... The power has decreased a bit over the past...

    Recs for budget farm pester/plinker

    I'll try to do that jcalvert. I'm glad you found the thread useful. I did too! There are many helpful people on this site, with a lot of experience. So far the avenger seems really accurate and easy to use but I am not in love without it feels. Maybe a wood stock would help ... It was also a lot...

    Recs for budget farm pester/plinker

    I went ahead and got the Avenger from the classifieds. The purchase was a good experience and so far I like the gun, except for the plastic stock. Also, it feels so top heavy compared to my break barrel....but I'm already much more accurate with it. My first gun with a magazine too. I think I...

    Recs for budget farm pester/plinker

    Appreciate all the tips. The Notos is in the lead...just saw an Avenger w/ scope in the classifieds for $265 too. I'm having target panic...too many options.

    Recs for budget farm pester/plinker

    Oh man...let me re-examine the budget. That looks nice. I have not looked at the notos but now I will. $50 for the Air-tact?! Maybe I will get two pesters...

    Recs for budget farm pester/plinker

    I love my cheap magnum break barrel .22, but it's ridonculously big (48" ; 50"plus with buck rail moderator screwed on) for my little Nissan farm pickup. I would like around 20ft lbs, 40" or shorter and around $200 or even less. I'm tempted to try the Crosman 362 or 3622, though they seem a...

    Quackenbush 9mm Pistol velocity report and zeroing issues

    Hard to believe it has taken me three years to finally get around to trying Air n Gasman's Hammer spring adjustment tips on this 9mm DAQ... but I have finally begun and have a preliminary report for anyone interested in DAQ pistols. I first removed the original hammer spring and took it to the...

    What springer did you shoot today?

    That's gotta be satisfying. Nice.

    What springer did you shoot today?

    Last time I posted I had been shooting cans off hand and said, "Don't ask me for groups." That got me thinking yesterday that maybe I could actually try for some groups with my cheap magnum springer. Here they are: 25 yds Gun rested on the back of a chair Ruger Air Magnum .22 JSB Hades 15.89...

    Other Girardoni (wind rifle) circa 1779

    I'm really interested in higher volume, lower pressure big bore air guns. I have a 100fpe .59 I made out of PVC...I can fill with a bike pump - but only get one shot.

    What springer did you shoot today?

    I shot my .22 Ruger Air Magnum. 32 yds off-hand open sights. Nailed those soda cans - first try. Don't ask me for groups though... been longing for a higher quality springer with a little less power and about 6 inches shorter. But this Air Magnum successfully gave me the airgun bug. I still...

    Can't find a moderator for .357 or 9mm

    Sweet. I'm apparently an incompetent searcher. Thanks all. None of those sites came up in my searches: I checked Pyramyd, airgun depot, utah, topairgun, google, etc. I'd never even heard of the Pellet shop. I even missed that current classified somehow, it must have just popped up. Roger on the...

    Can't find a moderator for .357 or 9mm

    I'm having a very hard time finding a moderator for my .357 carbine. It's a DAQ. I've found a slip-on adapter with the standard 1/2 x 20 threads but can't find a moderator itself. Any suggestions on where to shop? So far, all the companies I've found online only seem to go up to .30. I know...
