Those of you that snapped them up consider yourselves lucky! Can’t believe the production numbers were so low. FWB must have made no money on it and may have even lost some. This is guaranteed to be the last new production German springer. HW only recycles their old designs and Diana is moving...

The trigger issue was a misstep for Walther. They were targeting people who were considering the TX200 and HW97k. Both guns are known for great triggers but tend to be twangy. Walther fixed the twang issue, making their guns smooth as butter but they stuck in a plastic trigger with a weird...

Sounds about right. I don’t think you will get over 670, especially if you are high above sea level. If you want a little more speed consider lubing your pellets or polishing the barrel. -Marty

Somehow I doubt that they would like to reveal that information. I don’t have anything against Chinese pellets. I use the QYS and JTS because they are good pellets, but always on the lookout for new brands and white labels to try. -Marty

If you can find it used I would add the Walther LGU to your list. Was available in wood or synthetic. Or the Diana 430 for lightweight woods walker. -Marty

I wonder who makes them for JTS, is it QYS? -Marty

Only the paranoid survive… That said, I think younger people are starting realize how easily information about you is gathered across platforms. For example, there are numerous examples of innocent people being put into a “digital line-up” because a crime was committed and they were within the...

My suggestion, incase a correct screw cannot be found, is to get on the hobby machinist forums. There will be folks on there that love helping people and might be willing to manufacture a correct screw for you given the right information. Alternative is to CAD up the design and send it off to...

Compared to what some people spend on cars, jewelry, computers, alcohol, phones, watches, the lawn, cigarettes etc etc I think airguns aren’t too bad. I know most of my airguns will get 50 cents on the dollar. Can’t say the same for many of the other things… -Marty

Curious, What’s the FPS in .20 JSBs for a stock HW97k? -Marty

Two words, duct tape! -Marty

I always wondered if there might be some airguners in Wayland! That said, since you are in Framingham you are not too far from the guys in Marlboro. They often come to the meets at Woburn and they even post a handy calendar of all the matches that are taking place in other nearby clubs...

You should meet up with the guys at Palmer, about an hour south of Greenfield. They have a Field Target course now. https://nenameseck.com/ -Marty

Got my answer, thanks to Leo. Match is on. See all who can make it there at 9am. -Marty

Try soft bedding before going glass bedding. -Marty

Is there a match scheduled for tomorrow at the MRA in Woburn, MA? Thanks, Marty

There might be a shooting meet in Woburn tomorrow. Check the Field Target thread. It’s usually the last Saturday of the month at the Mass Rifle Association. -Marty

Prices are not going to come down much, if at all in the near future. Some reasons: 1. Over a trillion dollars in additional money was printed during COVId. More money is chasing fewer or the same amount of goods. 2. Taxes keep going up, which will be passed on to consumers like they always are...

Yea, I see where you’re coming from. Maybe the better option is to have a “DIY Manufacturing” parent thread with sub-threads for lathes, 3D printing and CNC. That said, I think that in terms of software and complexity the two disciplines are converging. The Chinese lathe I got a few years ago...

Given the rise of 3D printing this thread/sub-forum may need to incorporate 3D printing posts too… -Marty
