    What happened to common decency?

    I have no expectations of common decency when dealing with sales over the internet, and have even lower expectations when it comes to Craigslist and the like. Sometimes you will deal with good and honorable people but if your expectations are low you won't be disappointed when you have to deal...

    FPS standard deviation of 57. Is somethings wrong?

    Good info thanks. After a little more research and thinking what I find particularly shocking about the stats are how underpowered the gun tests from the proposed max fps. I think the true number of an standard decoration of 57 being pretty bad with an average 263fps. That means the fps out...

    FPS standard deviation of 57. Is somethings wrong?

    I haven't shot it yet. The last one was so bad, both underpowered and inconsistent. I will try and shoot it to see how it does. It is mostly for can plinking while camping, so don't need precision but would like it to be somewhat accurate. If a number of shots made it more consistent I am...

    FPS standard deviation of 57. Is somethings wrong?

    I just purchased my second Dan Wesson 715 pellet replica. The first one I got was not right, I had to raise the sight by 6" to hit paper and it would knock over an empty aluminum can but would not penetrate it or barely dent it. After 2 CO2 cartridges through it I assumed it was a lemon and...

    Is there a quality semiauto pistol?

    I have a CZ 22 with less than $1k invested shoots beyond my skills. I wanted the Vudoo I tried in a class, so a $2 k airgun does not look bad.

    Is there a quality semiauto pistol?

    I had been looking around and found that expression out. I figured there had to be an expression for what I wanted to call "real guns" but considering as i step up into the better realms of air guns some are as powerful and many are more accurate than my PBs are and the high end air guns being...

    Is there a quality semiauto pistol?

    I am likely to buy another air gun something nicer but the primary reason I asked this question is a friend of mine a 60 lady, ski bum (not wealthy) was interested in buying an airgun. We went camping and I put the cheapest and nicest gun I own in her hands. A. $30 daisy and the Diana Airbug...

    Is there a quality semiauto pistol?

    Yes it can be. I had more than a few guns as a kid that all lost in a fire. I had a CZ .22 3 years ago and now own 17 different guns between air guns and PBs. Does that stand for pointed bullet? I have bought pretty plebian guns till now but looking for something nicer soon. I will take a...

    Is there a quality semiauto pistol?

    Interesting the Morini looks to be the same price as the Steyr. Why is the Steyr the ultimate? I am having a blast with my $100 semi-autos, not looking to buy a $2000 one though. I might buy a I am looking for something somewhere between $100 and $2000, leaning towards the $100 side of the...

    Is there a quality semiauto pistol?

    I have about a half dozen airguns. I enjoy both precision shooting and plinking cans while camping. One of my pistols is a decent quality CO2 and a break barrel pellet guns that are fairly accurate and fun to shoot. The blowback semi-autos I use for can plinking loose a little of their joy...

    FPS vs accurate distance

    Thanks guys. I shoot some precision rimfire and have taken a class in it. I use GeoBallistics for precision shooting. The big question though is shooting CO2 at altitude with variable temperatures. It has been hard to even shoot this summer so far. I did go out today when it got warm and was...

    FPS vs accurate distance

    I have been investing in some airguns for fun plinking when camping. I have about a half dozen air guns of different variety from C02 to break barrel. My airguns rang from 350 fps to over 1000. Is there a ballistic calculator or a chart to tell me the bullet drop I can expect at the...

    Tuning Refurbish a Diana 45

    So i found a RWS tune/clean kit when it town the other day. I now have some of the chamber oil. Should I cock the gun and pour the oil in or just crack the barrel a little and add oil?

    Tuning Refurbish a Diana 45

    Ya I got that. I saw a video on it and the guy seemed very knowledgable and said pour a bunch of 3 in 1 in there, that did not seem right. I just did a little more research, and it looks like silicone chamber oil is the stuff I want. I will have to order some.

    Tuning Refurbish a Diana 45

    I had purchased a Diana 45 about 12 years ago from a pawnshop because there were some birds possibly magpies or ravens messing with my roof shingles. I don't remember every shooting at the birds but had fun doing a little plinking with the gun which brought back memories of my first major...
