    Sheridan What is a Sheridan? Really

    Back in the 1970’s I used a product called “Finish Feeder”. Lemon oil and beeswax. Worked miracles on antiques. This product looks similar. I just ordered a bottle. Thank you.

    Sheridan What is a Sheridan? Really

    A “grandpa’s estate “ gun. 1972. I was 16 then. This has nice wood hiding under this 53 year old finish. The nickel is nearly perfect. One tiny rub about the size of a bb Is all from calling it ”as new”. The question I have is; Should this stock be refinished? It has some dings and handling...

    Other Some dandy’s on Airguns of AZ pre owned

    I picked up this Daisy 753W on the AOA used sight. Just got it last night. NOS. Never used. Daisy discontinued this model a few years back. It fires 7 grain Basic lead pellets over 500 fps. Here are two 40 yard targets. (1-5 shot & 1-6 shot) RWS-R10. Trigger is atrocious. That will be next.

    Hatsan Hatsan .30 cal Carnivore died

    Congratulation! It’s not long. It has a lot of preload. It takes a spring compressor with a long throw to get the spring in. You will lose a bit of power by cutting the spring down. I also line the piston with blister pack plastic. Just thick enough to hold the spring in snuggly. This eliminates...

    Other Some dandy’s on Airguns of AZ pre owned

    The issue with the Diana 75’s is the original piston seal were gum rubber. They just don’t last. If ever oiled they quickly deteriorate. It’s expensive and difficult to find someone who replaces the seals. I had two lefties for decades and before the internet, I just couldn’t find anyone who...

    Pumpers aren’t the “dark side”. They’re the catalyst.

    9 years old - Again!

    Great day for me as well cavedweller. Always fun to talk Airguns with a fellow enthusiast. Something special about reliving our childhood. Looking forward to a long and special friendship.

    Tuning Tuning a spring piston?

    What gun are you wanting to tune? A tune kit can easily run $100+. Many economy guns are not worth putting this kind of money into. A gun can be tuned to eliminate twang and shoot very pleasant with the factory spring and seals. Most tune kits are for the better guns also. Depends on what you...

    Crosman 1968 Crosman 760 PowerMaster

    Great find! The picture shows the bb loading port on the bolt side of the receiver. I’m not aware that was ever the case.

    Sheridan Steroid Pumpers - Sheridan Benjamin Crosman

    Has anyone here had the steroid procedure done lately and could share what is costs? Also, how long it takes to be completed? If memory serves and it doesn’t, when I talked with Tim at Mac1 earlier last year the procedure would cost around $275. Does this sound right? I never write things down...

    Diana Early Diana springers

    Definitely a Beechwood stock. Whoever finished it achieved a nice color. Beautiful gun.

    Sheridan Steroid Pumpers - Sheridan Benjamin Crosman

    Thank you. I didn’t build it however. Someone made this special rifle and I am blessed to be the next caretaker. It’s a Steve Corcoran stock.

    Enhancing a Beechwood / Beech Gun Stock

    It would be nice if we new exactly how Beeman (Weihrauch) achieved the rich color/finish on the original Gaudy Stocks of the 1980’s.

    Sheridan Steroid Pumpers - Sheridan Benjamin Crosman

    Talking here on AGN is a good thing. A couple days ago a member here reminded me of something that I have totally overlooked and forgotten. Funny how this happens. He mentioned the scope grooves on my custom steroid. Asked if it had them. Wow. I totally forgot this. So yesterday I dug around in...

    HW/Weihrauch HW30 walnut

    If one is really good with iron sights, the factory sights are technically the most accurate. Both being attached to the barrel.

    HW/Weihrauch HW30 walnut

    The loss in recent Weihrauch stock design was the inability to use Diopter sights. Maybe Weihrauch finally recognized this and used Gehmann’s input for ample check weld for the use of their products and incorporated this in the design of this new stock.

    Sheridan Steroid Pumpers - Sheridan Benjamin Crosman

    Make certain you have this model and also the smallest outside diameter Iris. Try adjusting the elevation with the Iris out.
