The replacement (GX Mini) was no good, didn't work even once. This one is still working, but the 110/12V power supply went out, so I'm running it on my yard tractor battery, which has a trickle charger attached to it all the time.

If you'd have taken it apart you'd see the firing valve pin is too long, it flexes just a wee bit until over time it breaks, where the o-ring sits on the firing pin inside the valve body, the pin is thinnest at that point. It's a flawed design. An otherwise great little airgun but severely flawed.

Been shooting at trees. Trees are a form of paper. Pre-paper. Paper to be. Paper in waiting. Paper eggs. Embryonic paper.

I was thinking about this...

Well said!

I know many firearm owners and a few firearm shop owners who scoff at airguns, they see it as kid stuff.

It's for the sling.

Didn't you know? They're all winners. Watch the opening ceremonies again, that's the first clue. ;)

This afternoon, I finally got a scope for my Sig Virtus PCP Semiauto, a Simmons Protarget with 40mm tube. I was able to sight it in on an old oak tree okay, although it's not the most accurate airgun. Then this evening, I spotted a good size buck about 25 yards from my sector, across the yard...

I've a Wheeler gunsmith tool kit, I was planning on reviewing that too at some point. Great stuff, the screwdriver bits are made for guns, the way they're ground for fitment, blades of various width and thickness; typical hardware store or mechanic's screwdrivers aren't really suitable for guns.

That's awesome!

Most airguns are put together with various screws, but you may find an occasional need for a pin punch, like the pins on the front of a Gamo moderator (although a small nail is usually sufficient because the shroud is plastic). Most pin punching is done on firearms, but it's still helpful to...

I'm sorry, but when I shoot a rabbit and it hops six-feet straight up in the air and comes down, never to hop again, I enjoy that. I simply don't like rabbits. And no, my mom didn't beat me on top of the head with a rabbit as a baby. At least I don't think she did. Mom!?

My weirdest rabbit story, last year from the window in the above photos, I shot a baby bunny with a Barra 1866. Then I went off for a cup of coffee. When I returned, the baby's mama was nearby feeding on grass, while it baby's intestines were strewn across the lawn. I thought, did a crow or hawk...

I like your airguns, they appear to be an excellent product, similar to Daystate with the electronic process. Regarding the release trigger, that could perhaps be seen as a binary trigger (?), which are banned in my state, a state that also considers airguns in .22 and above as firearms. But...

I'll add regarding the dent, if it's catalyzed, I'd steam it at least a few times first before trying to remove any of the finish, the steaming will be tough on it, it should raise the wood and stretch the finish, than making it easier to remove, like with a small card scraper. But then...

Don't modify the stock or you may not have a return claim if it's not functional. And I'd notify them immediately of the damaged stock, because they may say you did that and deny a return if need be. I've raised up dents like that in guitars but the finish was (usually) removed, sometimes it...

It's all about value. After all, it's not a used Honda Civic of an airgun, it's more like a Honda Passport Trailsport Elite of an airgun.

I appreciate you posting, DaddyPaddy, I've some 3-D printed moderators and it never occurred to me that they might warp in the hot sun. And thanks, MCP Jay, for changing your plastic formula, I'll keep that in mind should I need some good magazines.
