    Mini Lathe for Small Parts?

    So I have a cheapie HF small lathe that I've had for about 10 years now. It was always rickety and now even moreso. Thinking it's time for an upgrade. Been off an on looking at smaller units. Space is a major concern. Saw a South Bend 1944 9A locally for 1700 with some tooling, and as...

    Who Still Has a Kidde Compressor from Shelden Sporting Goods?

    Been running mine for 9 years here, no issues. Despite that amount of time, I dont have a ton of hours on it. Last time I called Jim to ask about when to change oil, I wasnt even close the hours he recommended. Wondering how long yall have ran yours and if it's still going strong? Cant...

    Airforce .177 Condor Slugger *FAIL*

    Saw that AirForce had the .177 Condor 'blems' for $395 and I'd always been interested in a .177 slug gun so picked it up. Have posted a couple times on it on other topics, but in the interest of not continuing to hijack others, I'll make my own post. This is the standard Condor, 24 inch...

    Classified Ads You Waited and LOST On

    Curious as to what some of your missed opportunities have been here. I check the classifieds daily unless I'm on a trip and have had a few items that have slipped through my fingers due to me waiting, procrastinating or just not being fast enough. Three that come to mind. 1. An early...

    Airforce TalonP/Escape... Lets See Those Shot Strings

    Recently got a renewed interest in AirForce guns and picked up a lightly used TalonP. Had planned on putting a larger tank on it (and may one day, who knows?) but pleasantly surprised with the small tank. It came with a .25 barrel and I threw on an 18 inch .22 barrel I had laying around. My...

    Winter Blahs = More Forum Time

    How many have noticed that your forum participation seems to get a jolt during the winter months? I visit here daily, multiple times a day, but notice that unless I tend to be a little more quiet during the summer months. I'm not stuck indoors as much and tend to be outside as much as...

    Holding out on a 'Want'...

    Ever see an airgun listed at what you feel is a fair price that REALLY speaks to you? I've been eyeing one that either 1. isnt 'that' great of a deal or 2. perhaps there is something I just dont know about it, but holy smokes I want it. I can afford it, but cant justify it. I've held out...

    EDgun A Lead on Some Edguns

    Hope this is ok to post here. It may be better suited in the classifieds, but since I do not have the guns to 'sell' I chose to post here. I have a buddy who was into airguns for a bit. Ended up getting a Matador long and a Leyla, big tank, fittings for the tank, etc. He is now looking to...

    N/A A Few Pistols

    I've said several times that I dont particularly care for air pistols and am not that great of a shot with them anyway.... so why do I have a section of wall of them in my gun room? Was in there tinkering around today since the weather is still crap here and decided to snap a little pic.

    Umarex Notos as a Pistol... Just as good as a Huben

    ...well, except for the size, power level and of course semi auto. Yes, yes... clickbait, sorry. But hey, the Notos is around $250 bucks so there's that. I've been singing the praises of the Notos for a little while. I had one converted by Firewalker and I have to say I really like this...

    Shooting with a New Person and Kid

    Just had a forum member leave my place here and wanted to post about it while I thaw out a little bit. Wont name the person, he can pop in this thread if he wants. Saw a post by him last week and found out that we are not too far apart here and he is new to airguns and so I offered a...

    Umarex Unexpected Happy Ending with Notos

    Nooo.... not that kind of a happy ending. So I had originally threw a cheapie scope on my Firewalker bottle conversion Notos and was happy with it. I then ordered a Carm magazine and went to pop it in and... mounts too low. With all the airgun related crap laying around here, I did not have...

    Accessories Audrius Regulator

    Quite a few years back, I had ordered a regulator for an AA gun, I believe. Audrius sent me the wrong regulator. I know the Marauders were popular at that time, so it could be a Mrod reg. I dont know. I offered to send it back and he declined so I've kept it all this time. I've tried to...
