What'cha doing air gun related today?

Yes sir. Teak wood grips and forearm made by Manop and sold by AGR. They’re nicely made. Light weight also. I don’t think they weigh much more than the plastic furniture that comes with the Prod.

Took Texan for a spin against gizzard and giblets from the turkey. Just 25 yards, but it was a ringer of all it faced.

Yesterday I mounted one of my new Athlon scopes on the Wolverine then after getting it zeroed went and shot a 30 yard challenge target then plinked at 50y.

While I was filling it up I noticed what kind of looked like smoke coming from my desiccant filter, turned out to be an o-ring failure.

My Wolverine was borrowing the UTG scope so I put it back on my HW95.

You try reaching out to Crosman about the part?

 

[PapaT]

Anniversary 362 and I did some sunset plinking from 10m. Idea was great, but peep sight is not low-light friendly. Still had fun in the frigid 32ish degree weather. Nothing beats a peaceful sitting with your airgun and a tin of pellets by your side.

Yes, they said discontinued.

Yes, they said discontinued.

Is this what you’re looking for?

Yes, that's them! Thanks so much! JG won't ship small orders so Im not sure when I'll need enough other parts to make an order.
I was hoping to find something locally in the hardware store or whatever but these are a 6-40 thread so, not common.

Bingo Ham Community does it again.

did some drywall work today and used the remaining 45min mud to make targets. It was starting to thicken so not the best forms. Just after mixing the mud I saw an agama in a prime location for shooting, so I quickly grabbed my Notos and took it out.

I was outside after dark with my two year old son, he wanted to look at the moon and stars. He has a gator flashlight and spotted another agama in the same palm tree. It never moved when he flashed his light at it multiple times. He went inside for a bath with mom and I grabbed the notos and his flashlight. It provided plenty of light for my Athlon fixed 10x scope. I had to shoot low because the top was obscured by palm fronds.

Got the HW50S barrel all cleaned tonight and introduced it to the rest of the 'springer gang' lol. The Slavia is getting the boot as I bought the HW to replace it. Stock is too short, barrel is too long, not enough power to dispatch most pests im after, and lastly the open sights were never any good. The 350 Magnum is not mine, its my dad's. Snow on the ground here and oh so dark....hopefully I can get it sighted soon, maybe tomorrow!

What are your initial impressions of the 50? I know that you research everything extensively . So I am wondering if the fit and feel are meeting your expectations.

Enjoying a couple of hours at my windy private range

Honestly im 6ft tall and this gun fits me very nicely! Shot cycle is crisp, and better than the TX (so is the trigger!!) and it really does make good power for its size. Its very light and sleek, the perfect blend of gorgeous & minimalist. (I am pretty sure i wouldn't be happy with the HW30 as it would be too small). Now i can finally gut my TX as I'll have something else to shoot short range in the mean time Glad I went with it over the R9.

Took the Sheridan out and shot a few pellets at my target at 20 yards. Had to take a silver paint pen and make the sights easier for this OLD man to see. It helped a bunch. I had to stop when the wind kicked up and started pushing those 11.42 grain pellets all over the place.

Today was a nice casual session with my dream Notos. I set up my KYL at 20 yards and just enjoyed the sound of smacking steel.
Took out a lizard at 30 yards. First shot was a little off, but hitting a cement block is like a mortar and that took off a leg. Next shot was spot on and removed his head.
