If you live in Washington State and get cut off, please reply with your city/town, county and zip code. I'm trying to determine if the eBay ban is statewide or limited to specific areas.

Hopefully JDR will ask Mike what the problem and resulting repair was and post that info here so we will all know.

If you pull the stock, the safety action and sear engagement with the hammer are clearly visible. Try cocking the gun. If the problem is with the safety function, the problem should be obvious. If the hammer doesn't move back far enough to allow the sear to engage, the problem could be that...

I live in Washington state and had a similar experience several weeks ago. I attempted to buy a Daisy red rider BB gun on eBay but the sale was blocked. I contacted the seller and after several minutes was told to try again. I was then able to purchase the Daisy. The seller told me the...

Remove the sight insert you've adjusted. Hold a straight edge, or a piece of string, on the top of the front sight and bring it back to the center of the breech and compare it to the centerline of the barrel. There's a good chance the barrel or barrel/pump tube is bent. If the barrel only is...

It was made in September 1995

I use 100% silicone paste on mine.

If you buy the 7 lb tank listed on the above link, be prepared to install a syphon tube in the valve. Tanks used for home brewing don't usually have syphon tubes installed.

Talk to people that brew their own beer. My nephew is a brewer and gets his 5 lb tank filled at a shop that serves brewers. I get my 20 lb tanks filled at the same shop. Also, try contacting shops that service wire feed welders.

If you're lucky, the breech plug will be stamped with a date code. The first digit is the month, the second and third are the year. For Oct, Nov, and Dec, I don't remember if there are two digits or the letters O, N, D.

If you sell your Model A outfit, sell the hand book separately, those bring boohoo big bucks.

AirRanger, thanks for taking the time and effort to take and publish these pics. Those of us on the left coast really appreciate it.

I've got 3 Chaser pistols and none of them have a grub screw holding the front sight on. Looks like the sights are loctited on. The muzzle caps are not loctited and simply unscrew. The muzzle caps are screwed on the barrel and if loctited on, will prevent the front sight from being removed...

Several years ago at the show I set up at, a guy came by and dropped a Marksman BB pistol on my table and said: "its yours". I proceeded to check it out to make sure it was empty, including cocking and firing it several times into my wiping rag. I then told the other guys in the 4 table square...

Give the Walther CP99 Compact a look. They're BB (only) and full blowback. You should be able to find a good pre-owned one for under $150.

If you watch the Investigation Discovery channel's crime reenactment episodes, you will see lots of air rifles and pistols in action.

Once again I trusted my memory and got it backwards. Your 140 is the third variation which was made from '56 to '62. The date code is November '57

If you're in luck your 140 will have a 2 or 3 digit date code stamped on the breech plug. The first digit is the year, the 2nd or 2nd&3rd digit(s) are the month code. The finish on the breech plug should match the rest of the rifle. If it doesn't the plug is probably from a different gun and...

Looks like somebody made a buy-it-now deal for $510 plus shipping. In my opinion, the seller gave that rifle away.

Unlike early Crosman's, Sheridan forearms and stocks appear to have been cut from different pieces of wood and usually don't match. Ron Elbe's Sheridan book claims that only 448 left handed blue streaks were made, and that's why this rifle will sell for a significant premium over a right handed...
