    Diana Diana 30 won't cock.

    Your barrels are almost certainly clogged with the remnants of the original synthetic seals that have deteriorated over time. Your best bet is to take them apart and replace the seals.

    Diana 6M Barrel Shroud

    I think the solution lies in 3D printing. I don’t mean the type with poor resolution and noticeable layer lines, I’m talking about very fine prints that exhibit very little layering, if any. Someone someday will create a file with all the dimensions from one of the 6M shrouds or the plastic...

    Airgun Moderators.....What’s the Legal Issues??

    This is not the first time I’ve seen a response like this. And in all cases it’s them causing the problem, not us. I certainly appreciate the respectful tone of your message, but why can’t you give others the same credit you give yourself? All those other people moved for the same reason you...

    Airgun Moderators.....What’s the Legal Issues??

    This is just so much BS. Here we go again with the ridiculous notion that those who flee states to get away from tyrannical state rule are the same ones voting to support that which they left. The vast majority of the people leaving those states are very conservative and want less, not more...

    Used Lead.

    I take the used pellets and cast them into projectiles for black powder firearms. The lead is soft and fills out the molds very well. I guarantee that anyone you know who casts bullets will be pleased to take that scrap lead off your hands.

    Let’s see those light weight Carry Airguns (Woods Walkers)

    I envy you that you can walk for an hour carrying an airgun without having to worry about being killed by overly enthusiastic law enforcement agencies. Were I to wander about the hills local to where I live in Southern California, I’d probably end up as a story on the evening news.

    Which Airgun Dealer Has The Best Customer Service?

    I have been well pleased with the customer service rendered by both AOA and Utah Airguns.

    inletting black

    Presuming that what I’m inletting for is metallic, I have used the soot from a candle flame with great success. Hold the item just into the flame and it will be covered with soot. Repeat as necessary.

    Diana Let's see your Giss guns.

    I don’t want to sound like a know it all, and I hope I don‘t come across as such, but I’m pretty sure that what’s numbered 5 and referenced as the red bumper on the face of the rear piston is mislabeled. In fact, the rear piston doesn’t project out that far because of the spacer placed at the...

    Beeman Repair video for Diana 6 recoilless air pistol

    I'm with you. The use of those pliers did nothing but show me that the guy working on that gun was a ham-handed hack. There's no need to bugger up those caps with such brute force methods. One of the first things I look for when examining one of the Diana Giss pistols is whether or not the...

    American Air Arms American air arms .22 hps

    I have one and shoot 25.4 grain pellets almost exclusively. The .22 pellets work pretty well for me at 50 meters, though they do seem to be buffeted about by the wind if I try to shoot much farther than that. But part of it is that I simply haven’t tried very hard at greater distances.

    Hello from highly restricted California!

    I wish you'd stop promoting this nonsense. As bad as California is regarding firearms laws, there has never been anywhere within the state that has demanded that a certain type of firearm be turned in within 30 days. It simply isn't true. It's entirely possible that you may have misread a...

    AEA Insane pump-action PCP

    I think it’s cute that you think self regulation is the answer to preventing tyrannical state governments from enacting controls on airguns. Though you are correct in your assertion that more power will beget more regulation, understand this, the people in government who do such things hate all...

    Steyr no longer sold in the USA?

    That’s a nice rifle, but based on what many who post on this site say about Edgun’s lack of customer service, I’d be hesitant to buy anything from them. And that’s not just hearsay. My brother bought a Matador, and shortly after the sale had a question about some little glitch. Edgun West’s...

    Lead free pest control.

    Lead pollution is a huge problem? I don’t think so. I oftentimes shoot in my backyard and will shoot into a target butt that collects the lead pellets, but I would never bother doing such a thing if I were out in the “wide, wild world”. I’ve been handling lead pellets and casting bullets for...

    International Air Pistol shooting

    There are a few options for targets. I found a guy on the target talk forum who sells them, but shipping is astronomical. I don't have a link, but he’s easy enough to find. Neal Stepp at ISS (International Shooter’s Service) has targets that are similar to Kruger, but not marked as such. Also...
