    N/A Pcp to break barrel

    Not a Springer made I would shoot a fox with. At any range. I have the Hatsan 135 in .25 caliber. About the most powerful Springer ever made. (converted mine from ram to spring) Even it would most likely just wound a fox enough to run off to suffer and die. Springers are terribly inefficient...

    Crosman Estate sale find

    Still considered a first variant. Not an 1st “A“ (square tongue on the receiver but a 1st “B“ (round tongue on the stock ). This is how the collectors differentiate the two. Crosman categorizes them both as just a 1st variant.

    HW/Weihrauch HW50 , the challenge continues

    Amen. I replaced a HW55 breech seal decades ago from leather to a new synthetic one. It protruded out so much it caused barrel droop. Many of the factory synthetic breech seals of the 80’s were cut off flush with a razor knife because of to close tolerances. This is a closeup of crows closer...

    HW/Weihrauch HW50 , the challenge continues

    Probably been mentioned before but in the first picture posted it’s clear that the barrel isn’t even closing tight to the receiver. This old model most likely had a flush mounted leather breech seal. The seal shown later is the new version far from flush. May not remove all the droop but...

    Crosman Estate sale find

    1rst variant, b. The picture reveals the tongue on the stock. Should be a date code on the end of the receiver plug. Beautiful gun. Sweet find. Congratulations!

    HW/Weihrauch Hw95s versus Hw98 - pretending to spend money

    The HW95S that is at AOA is the Luxus stock that has an adjustable comb. The Luxus stock doesn’t really need to be adjustable because the comb is already to high for the supplied iron sights, for most people. The HW98S is the traditional stock with the adjustable comb. Kind of strange because...

    N/A old man that is newby to air guns

    I have the Hatsan 135QE in .25 caliber. Over 850 fps with 25 grain pellets. Not another spring rifle as powerful. No way would I use it on Ground Hog. 22 rimfire at 40 yards can be a stretch. They are incredibly tough critters. I used a 22 Hornet for years on them. Had to rid a horse coral...

    JTS JTS Super 9X - new this fall

    After further research it appears this rifle was supposed to be released last fall. Does anyone have any newer information about it or is it a dead end?

    JTS JTS underlever?

    Seems to be the case.

    JTS JTS Super 9X - new this fall

    An interesting new model that JTS showed at the shot show is a barrel cocking “Target” rifle. Super 9X. Match barrel and match trigger. Target sights. Internals are said to be of the highest quality. The picatinny rail is removable to expose the dovetail. Could handle a Diopter sight then. $140...

    JTS JTS underlever?

    The specifications for the Stonewolf are not listed on the JTS website. Does anyone know the weight? Under levers are typically quite heavy. An interesting new model that JTS showed at the shot show is a barrel cocking “Target” rifle. Super 9X. Match barrel and trigger. Target sights. Internals...

    N/A Will a gas piston trash a scope like a springer?

    Gas rams do create an instant snap that springs do not. This may be more detrimental to scopes. However, some gas rams are adjustable. So in this case total control is there to tone the shot cycle down.

    N/A Will a gas piston trash a scope like a springer?

    Hatsans have a unique “SAS” system. Shock Absorber System. It is very effective. The entire receiver system moves forward upon piston impact. I have had a inexpensive “Sniper” brand scope on two 135’s and several 95’s. All have held up .

    HW/Weihrauch I have my HW50 tuned great,at first I hated it because it did not perform the way people were bragging about it.

    Excluding the HW30/R7 in 177 caliber, the HW95/R9 in .20 caliber was out-of-box most accurate Weihrauch I have ever had. I think the weight/velocity ratio of those two guns are the sweet spot in the Weihrauch lineup. Only one ever better was the HW55. Long discontinued. By starting on the R9 in...

    Crossman 760, so disappointing.

    $15 or $20 won’t do it. The 760 cost $19.95 in 1968. And made in America. Not China.

    Crossman 760, so disappointing.

    Definitely look for an older one. Fixer upper if you have the time. Top one I bought “1968” for $49. Bottom one “fixer upper” costed me a whopping $15. If you decide to redo one, take your daughter along for the ride.

    Daisy Daisy Avanti 753W Elite Competition- Information wanted.

    Yes. The front side of the trigger needs to be filed down as per the picture. All the way to the extended flat. Borrowed picture.
