What springer did you shoot today?

[Heyboy]

Shot a Healthways Western yesterday, the hammer is so stiff I used a length to pipe with tape wrapped (not to scratch) the hammer. Strong spring for my hands but a low powered plinker. Most guys seem to shooting rifles according to posts. It is an odd bb gun because the power comes from stretching the spring not compressing it. Encyclopedia of Spring Air Pistols (ESAP) mentioned this BB gun is the only one the author knew about. So neat detaIL

Cannot post any picture because my brother died so my family when to be with his familiy. I am doing some hobby stuff to unwind after a very bad day. it was sudden he was not sick.

My condolences.

Hello everyone. I just got this old BSF S70 with a 2-7x32 Winchester AO scope. I completely tore it apart and cleaned the gobs of grease out of it. It was dieseling from the previous owner using regular gun oil. It was quite a trick to get it apart. Thank goodness I found an old post on a Canadian airgun forum. I may make a new step by step guide or something so others can see what it entails. It’s a great shooter. I’m at 700 FPS with 8 grain daisy wad cutters. I read that they were capable of over 800. I ordered a new piston seal and need to either find or make a breach seal for it. I truly enjoy these old German air rifles!

Looks sweet. Not familiar, made in Germany, has to be good. Thanks Crow

They made pellet guns from like WW2 to the early 80’s. They were one of the early companies to break 800 FPS I believe. The company and all its tooling were bought out by weihrauch. There’s some newer guns that have the BSF DNA in them.

It is snowing here so I am shooting at the 50-feet indoor range today. P17 with AA 8.4s.

10 am a cup of coffee, and a few rifles, what a life.

Took out my new targets and played this morning.

I put longer stakes on my targets = higher off the ground , better in my situation.

Did some pellet testing in my newly refurbished Webley Tracker Deluxe in .22 now with a new gas ram is installed. Had a spring kit from a British company which was shooting 11.5 ftlb but was harsh shooting. I had the spring kit replaced with a new gas ram I had laying around from Knibbs and now it's shooting a nice 10.5ftlb with Superdomes and very smooth shooting with now harshness. The Tracker really is a gun that in my experience (had 3 of them) shoots best with a ram. I have a .177 Barnett spitfire version with a ram as well and also nice shooting.

Little playing around with Beeman HW77 MK1 and HW35E, both in .177.

I really like those older stocks.

Yep. Dang shame HW has gone the way they have with the new ones. The 35E is actually a 2018. Just got lucky.

I am still at it with the P17.

Just tried my hw45 in 20 cal. My guess is that it’s the same as crow’s he’s awaiting. My second in 20 cal and I love them both.

My wish is for HW to keep making 20 cal and JSB to keep producing the food for them. A perfect combo.

53° and rainy.

Little more traditional springer later today. HW95 in .22. Still as good an all round springer as I have. This Athlon Talos 3-12 has been on here since I bought this gun last summer. Same model that’s been short-lived on two other guns. Go figure.

Glad you got your 45. Can’t wait to try the .20 cal. Have the P1 and P11 in .22. Great guns. I’m excited to get those rounds. Best current springer pistol, money can buy, IMO. Crow
