    Daisy 2x Minty 777s

    I got interested in those a couple of years ago. First was a 747, then two, then ended up with 3 of the 777, eventually a 717 and I think a 727(.22 cal model) then another couple of 747's for my son and grandson. Rebuilt all with new seals and wipers, along with relubing the firing/trigger...

    N/A Traditional Airgun hunting

    I had my HW95, .22 out today. It has a 3-9 Leupold efr scope mounted. I was surprised at the accuracy. Hands down it beat a AA Prosport, plus is easier to cock and load. I have two each of older FWB 124 and newer Sport models and they are unbelievably accurate . The older FWB 124 I bought...

    N/A Bye Bye Scopes!

    That's great. My wife and I both had cataract surgery about 3 years ago. The VA paid for mine and insurance for hers. I was nearsighted, now more farsighted, which I like. My wife's vision did not really change, she still uses the same pair of glasses from about ten years ago, progressive...

    What springer did you shoot today?

    Four this afternoon, all .22 cal. First a HW95, then AA Pro Sport, then HW 98, and finally Diana AirKing Pro. I had made up a new, extra pellet trap on an elevated stand, and stretched my shooting out to about 50 yards. I was having trouble with shots from the ProSport going everywhere, and...

    N/A Weihrauch hw97 or Air Arms TX200

    I got a TX200 and really hit the wood lottery. Beautiful burl in the buttstock. I also have a HW77 and a 97 that I got with a thumbhole stock, which did not rock my boat. I ended up getting a Custom Stock Tyrolean, and put it on the 77 and then the original 77 stock on the 97. I have an...

    What springer did you shoot today?

    Been there and done that. I grew up in W. Monroe, plenty of swampy area just north and south of us, river going through town, so mosquito heaven. I have been living in E. Texas for the last 40 years, two lakes to west and northwest, along with numerous ponds and a small private lake within...

    When October Goes

    My birth month id October and it has been my favorite for many of my 79 years. The way the weather has been getting, I am beginning to shift more toward November, but it's still too warm here in E. Texas. I often wish we had a true four seasons here instead of summer one day and winter the next...

    What springer did you shoot today?

    Nothing today. The temperature was perfect about 70, humidity 92%, with a mist falling all day. I do not have a sheltered location so did not want to get my guns damp.

    Antique models? Post pics

    Never thought of that. I had considered buying or making a compress I never thought of that. I had considered buying or making a compressor but already have one in my garage workshop. Just need a jig to hold barrel and receiver tube.

    hBN (Hexagonal Boron Nitride) vs fouling

    I have been using it for over ten years now. I first got some to use a bullet coating for my powder burners, and applied it by tumbling. Small caliber bullets coated are so slick that they are hard to handle. I really could not see any accuracy improvement or lessened fouling, but then I have...

    HW/Weihrauch Using a peep sight

    I have a Willams on my FWB 124 and the factory diopter on my FWB 300s. In reality they are both about the same distance from my eye. For a sporter/hunting gun the Williams is a smaller more compact unit, and simply looks "cleaner" on the gun. As far as accuracy, there are no flies on the...

    HW/Weihrauch Using a peep sight

    I think it is best to have the "peep" close to your eye. For one thing it will give a longer sight radius which helps accuracy, consider tang sights and the radius that they contribute too. Having said that I do have a couple of old military rifles with aftermarket peep sights which simply...

    Pneumatic fly swatter - calling out to subscriber!

    I got one of those a few weeks ago, I really do not want to use it indoors, getting salt into carpet, upholstery, ect. Went to my son's place about two weeks ago and my 13 year old grandson literally had a blast every day when the sun went down and he could turn some outdoor lights on to...
