The gun when I received it had the aftermarket hand guard placed with its front edge flush with the where the stock and pump arm meet. I REMOVED (no sliding involved) the guard as described and put it back on so that the guard sits over the junction. That's where I put my jand naturally when...

I removed the hand guard on my Blue Streak and put it back in a more forward position. The person I bought it from had recommended doing that instead of just sliding it forward, to prevent scratching. It didn't break, but it fits slightly loose now. At his suggestion, I carefully slid the thin...

I did neither the tape mod nor the trigger work on mine and it's still very good. Strangely, the trigger on the Model 25 BB rifle feels smoother and lighter than the one on my 880. Just in case you want to indulge in another $60 sleeper. 😉 I love mine. You can load up to 50 BBs in the shot...

ThomasT can steer you to his welder friend who makes sturdy, durable pellet traps made from aluminum; the angled rear is lined with a thick steel plate. I've been using mine since sometime in 2023 and it is holding up well. I don't leave pellets in it much, usually emptying the trap after each...

I never thought I'd be worrying about doing target practice with low-powered airguns in this PB gun-loving rural county (considered redneck by the state's major population corridor). But the last year has brought even more attempts at the state level to, basically, get rid of more kinds of guns...

It's all relative. I've heard people on radio say they live at high altitude when it was 3000' elevation. Which might be flat or very hilly.

How many others who do not live in town/city limits or in an HOA can't find explicit ordinances about distance requirements from roads or other people's buildings? Here, you are not allowed to shoot from a road, which I consider common sense if it is not your very own private road. I live far...

Passers-by are my biggest potential trouble even though this is not near a highway, just an unmaintained dirt road. We get so many tourists and lost drivers (thanks to a certain online nav company's refusal to correct errors...begins with Goo) that if I don't see or hear them about to go by...

.20calguy, I'm sorry you got in trouble over that. Only very recently I read that my home state (CO) now considers air guns to be firearms. I could've sworn they were not lumped in together. I wonder when this "little change" was written in, and how many other sneaky changes are slipping by...

Use two or three large nested cardboard boxes (often free at "big box stores"), and line the inside back with another 8 or more corrugated cardboard sheets. Even my low-powered BB rifle can send a round that penetrates 4 or 5 layers from 33 ft. The pellets from the pumpers can easily exceed...

I prefer to end on a good note and see improvement. But it happens either way and I've learned not to let a bad shot or even an entire subpar session bring me down. Some days I do better than others--just as in any other skilled activity. It helps to shoot more frequently!

The last part of cutting a can is a built-in, progressive, addictive challenge. When I've reached the stage where just.a.few.excellent.shots would efficiently drop the lower half can, the remaining job becomes tantalizing, agonizing, and definitely challenging. Especially if shooting with open...

Thread topic is interesting to me even though I don't own a PCP gun. I do know from having lived at 7450' and frequently driving both below and above that by several thousands of feet elevation that flexible bottles, aluminum cans, plastic bags, and closed sea kayak hatches visibly showed large...

Keep mouth shut instead of saying to a store's gun dept salesperson how much I enjoy shooting airguns. Even one where they sell both PB and airguns, like this store. Her reply was to pooh-pooh them as "just for play." I decided it was better after all if she and similar people continue to think...

If I couldn't remember my first airgun it'd be time for the memory care unit. Unlike most who posted so far, I bought mine just under two years ago, and I'm in my sixties. Daisy 880, which I still use every week along with three other models since acquired. The latest one is also a Daisy, a...

You are one tough son of a gun, Toasty. Keep up the survivor attitude combined with your positive vibes. Best of luck to you!

I would add to the list these items: - A few pin punches and roll pin punches of correct size for your guns - A small Chapman or similar set of screwdriver bits and handles that are intended for use in guns and other somewhat delicate applications - Nondetergent oil (10, 20, or 30 wt) for...

My own property, or part of it, is the airgun range. For PB shooting I go to a designated firearms range even though legally I can shoot those here also. I don't want to add that level of noise around us. Airguns are much quieter. We moved to rural property to have space away from neighbors--AND...

Thread title is misleading, though the first post makes it clear the subject is PCP airguns specifically. I bought a cheap multi pump rifle (gateway drug...) in spring 2023, loved that enough to buy a not-so-cheap single-pump pistol half a year later, and then bought a used classic multipump...

Recently I shot the P3 at a suspended string of two soup cans and one pellet tin hung vertically from a branch about 75' away. I could hear the metal being hit and see movement, but TBH I don't know which of those items it hit. They'd already been shot numerous times with a rifle before that. I...
