That's as nice an example as I've ever seen. Congrats! It's shooting as if new. Show us how well it groups! (You can find the manual for it online.) It's in much better condition than the discount chipped-stock floor-model I got at K-Mart back in '78. Cheers, J~

Challenge accepted, challenge met. A knotty section of maple from the recent disaster. It couldn't stand up to 37 tons of pressure.

That's an interesting point, BeerThief. I think that after it's initially dehumidified (in the oven) it won't carry any more moisture than the surrounding environment. Seeing as I have fifty or more cords of wood to cut up and split, I'll try putting one together. A microwave will dehumidify...

We're currently suffering from a sawdust surplus, so I'm thinking that will be a good material. Cheers, J~

I'm with the OP on the maintenance thing. It seems wasteful to not take care of what you value so highly. If nothing else, the next guy/gal to own it will be thankful for that. Cheers, J~

Major lifestyle upgrade!

This reminds me an incident that occurred long ago... I'd been instructed by the boss to bring the 'gray' shelving located in the yard into the warehouse. I looked and looked. No 'gray' shelving in the yard. But there was a light green set sitting right there. Eventually I asked the boss...

Congrats! That's a nice example. Post more photos, please. Wow. That's a lot of adjustment! Have you examined the muzzle to see if something is off with it? I'd also look to make sure that there isn't any separation between the tube and barrel. The rear site on that rifle was originally...

Thank you, Veterans!

Do you ever get fed up with Airguns? I can see that people would... When you put people that really dig complications in charge of product development and production, you get complicated products and the frustrations that using them entails. That's why I rarely ever open a thread here on how a...

Cool. Glad to see he's back in business. Ask Tim about the power-mod for the 1100, too. I watched him do one back in the day. Cheers, J~

If it were mine, I wouldn't use steel as the barrel is aluminum. I got about 400-fps with lead balls out of mine. I never did chrono the shot-shells. Cheers, J~

If you look at the difference in economic conditions between now and four years ago, you'll find the answer to your questions. People usually won't spend what they don't have. Everything costs a lot more these days. It's up to you to figure out what has happened between now and then, and why...

Springers work best using the "artillery hold" because they recoil differently from other arms. That means that you have to build a new set of habits in order to use them well. Airguns are my method of keeping my powder gun skills sharp, so I avoid springers. I just don't see the need to...

I really admire the OP's honesty. As a former instructor... After reading some of the responses here... I can advise you not to take much in the way of advice from the internet. People that have been "doing it their whole life" without ever taking any training are not the ones that you'll...

Considering that the internet has given the worst if us access to the best of us, I don't think it's a good idea to publish personal data on a forum available to all. Cheers, J~

I'm sure that there's someone out there that knows everything about every variant of that particular pistol. But it ain't me. My rabbit holes are the Crosman 760 and the QB77-78 series of rifles. ;) I'm sure that some searching will turn all the details up. Cheers, J~

Hey now! Some of the best things in life are made by banjo players! Southern Girls in particular. Cheers, J~

I think that's normal for that model. Not all of them came with the two-click hammer. That's pretty good velocity. It should get a lot of shots from a cartridge. https://support.crosman.com/hc/en-us/articles/203542870-157-Owner-s-Manual-EVP-1958-1968 Cheers, J~

Glad to see that Mike is being taken care of. Cheers, J~
