Mellow Greetings @honeysuckle and welcome to the forum. You've got a good collection to play with so far. I also have an RWS 34 pro compact with the black finish. It's a good shooter that likes heavier pellets. A lot of people are liking the Notos, be sure to check the bleed screw just behind...

Mellow greetings @Vicente_M_Costa and welcome to the forum. You will have fun rediscovering your love for shooting air guns. Today you have so many choices it will be difficult to choose. Don't get in a hurry to buy the first thing that looks good until you learn more. Be well, Feinwerk

@Stormin-Normin , @Bedrock Bob brings up a good point about zoom affecting the relative size of your mil dots/tic marks compared to your bullseye. I usually leave my scopes at a certain zoom level. Your scope is most likely a second focal plane (SFP) scope where the reticle pattern does not...

Hello @Stormin-Normin , It depends on the quality of your scope. Lower to mid-range quality scopes have a stiction phenomenon where elevation and windage changes may not stabilize until there's been some vibration after a few shots. Higher end scopes that pass what is known as "the box test"...

I have the hunter carbine in .177 and very happy with it. It's my current go-to pesting rifle. So easy to work on. I don't think there's any need nor even a practical way to add a moderator. Mine likes the H&N Field Target Trophy pellet in 4.51mm head diameter. Using the right hold makes all...

@Longbow53 Hi Pete, Looks very stable, laterally, resisting canting on the rest. Looks like it adds a lot of mass as well. What are the black runners made from? Looks like it would create a nice friction sled system for the double snap recoil. I have the same nice Maccari laminate stock on my...

Holy moly look at all the legal mumbo jumbo on their policies page. How is that even binding when websites say something like "by using this site you consent to".... this that or the other? How can you have any legally binding contract without a signature? That's like some sort of passive...

I didn't see any mention of intentional dieseling or intent to create dieseling here. The OP is new to air rifles and has read about the phenomenon and is asking about it. No worries here Feinwerk

Welcome @Tarheel , Your new HW 30 is a surprisingly excellent choice of a first advanced pellet gun for a relative newbie beyond the trusty Crosman 760 pumper that many of us grew up with. Even long time experienced shooters praise this model for ease of cocking and all-day plinking and all...

Thank you @Greenarrow for that clearer picture. Yes, I misinterpreted the op's blurry photo

Welcome to the forum @Rondo . Looks like a very good first purchase. That's a nice peep site on there, haven't seen one quite like that myself. But if your eyes are aging like the rest of us are, you will enjoy a good scope. Lots to learn about mounting those . Double check your breech seal...

If the M5 unit is still using Daystrom engrams, I would definitely pass and wait for the M6 version. 😁

It sounds like you've already reached air gun Nirvana. You've managed to shoot slugs with "extreme accuracy". The slug is already outperforming a Diablo pellet as far as ballistic coefficient is concerned and retained energy. The lighter weight slug, as opposed to something heavier, gives you a...

I have noticed that and I shake my bottle before dispensing. When you said "Piston bore and behind seal my proprietary moly/graphite/oil blend, as well within tube at piston skirt to bore", I was thinking you might be using a silicone (non flammable, non-petroleum) based oil as a vehicle for...

Awesome writeup, what a wonderful contribution of technique to the forum for springer tuning. I like how you combine graphite & moly in the oil. I assume a silicone chamber type oil vehicle? Good description of polishing all the critical sliding surfaces. The voice of great experience. Thank you...

Nice fixer-upper, brings back very happy boyhood memories of shooting one while camping in the 70s. First airgun I ever shot

"Perfection is a nice goal but it's a terrible standard" - me When I was younger, I would get irritated at people who did not do the right thing. I finally learned to expect them to do the wrong thing and now I'm much happier when they do the right thing. It's all about expectations . This is...

If they come to your house, they don't know you very well do they?😆

Good job stopping the invasion. Lately I've been giving my 0.25 EdGun R5M PCP a rest and instead using my Air Arms .177 TX200 HC underlever springer on the tree rats. Feinwerk

The smaller bar actually is the cocking arm. It's primarily a tension rod that pulls and compresses the piston and spring back spring during cocking, and also retracts the outer compression chamber tube to expose the breech. The long arm that we normally call the cocking arm is actually just a...
