    Accessories Looking for a Charlie Da Tuna trigger

    Hi all, Looking to buy an unmodified GRT-4G trigger (wouldn't mind having a GRT-3 too). If anyone could help me out, it would be greatly appreciated.

    FWB Help me decide - FWB 300 or 300s Junior

    Hi all, Long story short, I have the opportunity to buy a 300 and/or a 300s Jr. Both rifles are in very good condition and I believe that both have "low miles" on professional rebuilds. I am unfamiliar with them beyond a few goofin' around shots with a friend's lefty version (I'm a righty)...

    100 yard shooting - .177 vs .20 cal vs .22

    Hi all, I'm seriously considering a new HW97k in .20 primarily for 100 yard, benched shooting. No competition, just smaller and smaller hard targets (think KYL/spinners) and the occasion fun session of slowly turning leftover clay pigeons into little specks. 👍 I do some of that now, as time...

    N/A What is your "coolest" springer...?

    Just speaking for myself, it's probably this one: a Diana Model 50b in .177 that is new to me but has seen plenty of use, and is still tight and accurate. It comes from a time when factory made meant produced by seasoned pro's and still involved plenty of personal skill. There are many things...

    Other What $250 means to me

    Had an interesting observation yesterday - I made a list of recently purchased springers under $250, and a second list of $250+ springers. On the under 250 side were 10 Diana rifles, and 2 HW's (one was bought as a project gun, the other was a lucky gun store find). On the $250+ side were 2...

    Other Too many springers

    So.... A simple little question: Who here has too many springers? And if your answer is "yes", when did it hit you? Keep in mind - I'm not Big Brother and this is just a hot stove conversation, not an interrogation. 👍 Its more like looking at The Five Stages of Springer Addiction. I'm...

    HW/Weihrauch What's the opposite of a safe queen...?

    Bought an original design HW85 today, comp tube rail and all. It needs sights and breech block shims, but has already been gone through and the worn out cocking shoe replaced, as well as some cosmetic first aid and fresh seals. This rifle has certainly been around, and it has its fair share of...

    A thumbs up for Hatsan USA Customer Service

    I have heard many disappointing stories about Hatsan USA's customer service, but I have a perfectly good one to share. I recently ordered some pellets during one of their sales, and recieved all but one tin. Of course, that was the most important one to me 🙄 I emailed them, explained what had...

    Beeman The Guns of Baldwinsville part 2

    Once again, another long post and this one is a story of surprises. Finally, I was able to get in a little range time in on Friday. I took just two rifles - the Terrus from Part 1, now sporting a swanky Nikon 3-9x40 EFR and the Beeman R9 (also a .22), now sporting a Sightron 4-12x40 with the...

    Other The guns of Baldwinsville, Part 1

    Hi all First, fair warning - there's a long, only semi-organized post ahead! I made the trip to Baldwinsville again this year, and once again had a great time. I have to say that I find everyone there to be in high spirits when I go and the show is well run. I'm looking forward to going...

    Optics Reduced - Excellent Beeman Blue Ribbon SS-3 scope, 1.5-4 AO

    SS-3 for sale, see pics for condition. Excellent lenses, zoom and AO rings turn perfectly, windage and elevation click perfectly, etc. Used but would satisfy a discerning shooter or collector IMO. If you've been waiting for a good one, this is it. 300 shipped CONUS, AK / HI extra Reasonable...

    N/A The Dark Side got me....

    Hi all, Just got back from the Baldwinsville show. I went there intending to sell my only PCP, which I don't use. (I didn't buy it for myself in the first place). Instead, I came home with an Air Arms S200 in .177, and this one IS for myself. Yeah, me.... the dedicated springer guy. The...

    FWB Airguns of Arizona has more FWB Sports in stock for $695

    Just saw them on their website. General availability (but not a specific quantity. was confirmed by AoA sales. I put 6 in my cart and it took that quantity to checkout. I could have bought them all I assume. So if you were bummed that you missed the recent sell out, you have been given a...

    FWB Wanted - FWB Sport Tune details and results

    Hi all First off - this thread is about the modern FWB Sport, not the classic 124/127 rifles. Since there are few Sports but many that needed a tune when new (and because I'm about to tune one...) I'd like it if those who have already been down this road would list what they did/compo ents...

    Tuning Easy fix for Diana 460 stripped front sight

    Hi all, Just thought I'd post this here for future reference... My D460 plastic front sight (nylon family is my guess) had mostly stripped threads in the mounting hole, thanks to yours truly. The single 5mmx10mm dog point screw that "holds" the front sight in place was not performing all that...

    Tuning Titan spring/Diana 460 experiment - predictions wanted

    Long post, so to jump right to the "Big Question", just skip to the end... The backstory... I have a refurb Diana 460 that was definitely NOT refurbed. After a friend dug chunks and sheets of flattened pellets out of the workings it was shooting pretty well with what I think was an OEM spring...

    Opinions wanted - best .22 underlever for general use

    I have always assumed that the Diana 460 would be the standout underlever in .22 caliber. Not for competition, but for most everything else. Including some bragging rights off the bench. 😁 But now I'm wondering about the TX. And a friend has an outrageously accurate .22 HW97k..... So...

    Does anyone know the Axeon "Springer Safe" 4-16x44 SF mildot

    I stumbled across this recently: https://www.axeonoptics.com/2218674 and if it's true, I'd like to know what people think about their products in relation to similarly priced springer standards like Hawke Vantage, UTG's and even the Hammers stuff. BTW, I didn't see mention of a warranty on...

    HW/Weihrauch Matching caliber to rifle, Weihrauch style...

    Hi all Since my first exposure to the HW30, HW50 and HW95 trio, I've had an almost subliminal assumption that the most effective pairings of rifle & caliber would be: HW30/.177, HW55/.20 and HW95/.22 (not that I've adhered to that myself - 😁) But without at least having the use of all 9...

    Other Your recommendations for best "box store" springers....

    Just wondering if there are any models that stand out to the "cognisenti" here. I mean, there have to be a FEW, right? Stuff that people were pleasantly surprised by, especially over time. I started wondering after I bought a 2nd hand Ruger Blackhawk Elite in .177. I didn't pay a lot because...
