Newbie here, just acquired my first 'real' airgun, an AirForce Texan SS .457! Suddenly I find myself freshly addicted to this this new genre of shooting! 
Picked it up from a pawn shop, it was going a little stale there and they were having a sale... sooooo.... it came home with me! She's a 2021 ym, 3k PSI Al tank model with a Hawke Airmax 30WA SFP 4-16 scope. I still need to acquire a filling setup, but was able to get two rounds to confirm function was good, punched within 1/2" @50yds with an awkward rest, handheld, half knelling and half squatting - I'd say it has high hopes of being very much a tack-driver!
My previous airgun is a Benjamin Regal NP break-barrel .22. It has been nice, but rather pedestrian in the wow-factor department. I am already learning that there is much to be done in tuning for both of these pellet-pushers, will be watching for a 4500 tank/valve for the Texan, and just now trying to learn what can be done for the Benny.
I feel both guns could use some trigger work, but I would really like to get more info on the internals and how to best improve the basics. First need is good data! Is there an armorer's manual or other servicing manual for the Texan? Called AirForce - they were AWESOME with their support, but limited in that no paperwork other than owner's manuals are available, and that is just too superficial for what I need to do.
Looking forward to getting my head filled - not with HP air.... jus' sayin'!
