Honestly, I have no desire.
The Beeman R1K in .20 that’s running on gas is still serving me well

Beautiful! So is it a Theoben mod?

Did the muzzle weight come stock on the gun? I've been looking at that one from AoA.

Thank you.
Yes , I sent my R1 back to Beeman 20 years ago and they installed the Theoben spring.
The Muzzle break was one of many extras you could purchase for your Beeman back in the day

That's so cool! I'd love to see how they converted the insides. Funny, I had a RX1 that was giving me trouble and was considering switching it to a spring. You went the other way. I eventually got the Rx1 working great. Your R1 must be wonderful.

I got one of the Crosman Gas Ram guns for a friend, it shot very well at first. Later the accuracy vanished, turned out the breech washers were plastic and worn. I could wiggle the barrel side to side with the barrel closed and locked up. I replaced them with some brass washers and that helped, but not much. After some research I ran across a post by NCEd about his struggles with a similar Crosman/Benjamin springer. It turns out the breech block has a sleeve which allows play in the barrel lockup. He went so far as to machine a tighter tolerance sleeve to reduce the slop but ended up junking his gun.
To summarize, I think you're headed in the right direction with your choice of the HW50!

Nice guns today. Unfortunately I am stuck in NJ. Can't get anything shipped without going to an FFL. Not that many big gun stores in NJ, meaning the choices/variety isn't there. But I'll get by.

Doc, I can’t bring myself to “like” that one. You can’t have an Air Gun or Blackpowder mailed in NJ??
Re : purchasing from Krale.
If the lead time isn’t long, I’d like to take advantage of their slightly lower price, it avails me more liquid for pellets and the Williams FP-AG-TK rear I would like to use. With the removable front inserts, I should be able to use the sights from my Sharps as well. The Williams would be the perfect mix of a more precise peep, but with a skinny post, could be a quick critter acquisition as well!
All failing, I’ll utilize one of the American partners and dig a smidge deeper in the ole pockets. Many thanks for the recommendation of Airguns of Arizona. I know forums typically have their preferred vendors. I would like to support the ones worth supporting! Keep ‘em coming y’all!

I feel that will be my case with this Crosman. But if I could AT LEAST get it to minute of squirrel at a measly 25y, that would be splendid.

BEAUTIFUL! Classic American lines and dare I say, is that a lefty??

I don’t love the cut-out of the butt stock that the new Euro sport rifles seem to have adopted recently…but here is another question…
Any reason why you couldn’t fit an Old English Red but pad to one of these?? Obviously getting closest to the proper size…
But who doesn’t love a red pad on a wooden rifle?
I’m handy with stock refinishing too, and if I feel it needs a touch of more color, sheen, or tint, that can be remedied easily enough.
This particular CZ Trainer in beech was once a very lack luster yellow almost grey it was so boring. Some gentle lovin’ and a lot of skin to skin action with our friend BLO got it in better shape…

If you like waiting a week after they charge your credit card before they ship AOA is for you. If you like paying more $$ for the same product AOA is for you. Place an order for an HW30 from both Krales and AOA at the same time. You will have your rifle sighted in and shooting from the Netherlands BEFORE the rifle even leaves AOAs warehouse. This has been my experience with both.

Krale usually restocks pretty quick, but with the way things are now who knows. They will not be able to tell you how long as they do not work directly with Weihrauch, but through a supplier. I waited 14 months for a HW98, albeit was a .20 cal. Hopefully Krale will work out for you they are great to work with.
