A recent post asking about self defense air guns was shut down with only one response allowed and the reason being that air guns can’t be used for self defense. Please look up what a Byrna is… A buddy of mine has one and takes it with him for self defense when he travels into New York state...

I wouldn’t buy the FX-Impact I wanted for 5 years because it was too much money for an air gun. I just wouldn’t spend $2000 on one, no way. I bought an RWS 48 and a Marauder both in .177 caliber and was left wanting more. The Marauder was my first pcp and a nice step up from springers but was...

I think you are correct about the beech.

Mine is 52089 bought in 1983. It is the deluxe model but the stock isn’t dark enough to be walnut, at least not black walnut. It has the color of oak and the grain/rays of walnut. I never really thought about what kind of wood it is. There, I could type all day and nobody would have a clue...

And I should mention that my POI didn’t change from my last session…. Out of the case, silencer installed, start shooting and killing pigeons. :)

I visited an old farmer friend last week intending to shoot some woodchucks with my 17 Fireball. I also took my FX Impact M3 .25 cal with a full bottle of air. Good thing! I never took the Fireball out of the case but the Impact saw LOTS of action. After my visit at the farmers house I headed...

I wanted an Impact since the first video I watched on them from Ted’s Holdover. I didn’t buy one because of the cost, just more money than I would spend on an air rifle. In 2022 I got viral meningitis and for 3 months wondered if I’d ever be able to see correctly again, be able to go back to...

No, this is the stock barrel. I thought about getting one but I can’t justify it. Slugs are more expensive and use a lot more air. I like the cheaper to shoot pellets along with an high shot count and I have an assortment of powder burners if I need more range and power.

Put a new o ring on yesterday and it’s holding air fine now. Got another gauge too just in case…. The one I put on is working fine so I have new spare.

I don’t have anymore o rings to try so I’m leaving the gauge in until I get some more. It’s shootable but it won’t hold air forever like it did before. Placing an order this week…. Thanks for all the advice, much appreciated!

Got the new air gauge today, installed it, filled the gun with air and fired a full mag through. Functioned fine, except the air gauge leaks….

For the record… I read it here. davecole Member Nov 28, 2021 Add bookmark #2 Possibly a pellet lodged between the mag and the leade. Had this happen before. gently tap against the side of the mag with a wooden dowel and preferably a rubber mallet until it comes out. know there may be...

I usually learn from my mistakes. It shouldn’t happen again but if it does, I’m following the advice you guys are giving me! Thank you all!

You are correct, it was my fault. I still don’t think the bolt should have broke that easily. A better magazine design would prevent this from happening.

I said in my original post the bolt has been repaired and I have no need to purchase a new one. Waiting on an air gauge to shoot it again but the bolt is in the gun and should function fine. It’s a .177,

I’m sorry, I don’t believe for a second the bolt is machined and or hardened steel. Looking at the break point it looks very rough, sandy and very light colored, almost white. Hammering the magazine was the only thing I found that anybody said would work. I used a small brass hammer and was...

It doesn’t make me want to buy another one of their products…

You’re right but I don’t want a spare bolt for this gun. I’m very disappointed it broke so easily and even more disappointed their tech didn’t know what he was talking about. I won’t be buying another one…

Thanks Ta Ta. I looked all over and never came up with this! Although, it’s been a year or more since this happened and I’m finally getting back to it.

It’s a Gen 1 and Crosman tech said they were not interchangeable. Maybe he didn’t know what he was saying… I ordered the gauge off Amazon and I think it’s on the slow boat from China…
