    Now There’s A New Barra AR Breakbarrel Air Rifle

    As an advocate of spring powered air rifles, indeed all air powered guns & rifles, I have a concern that the appearance of this "AR" styled gun will easily be mistaken for appearing like an AR semiautomatic weapon. Sure looks like it to me! I fear that this plastic airgun will nudge the anti...

    Break Barrel My first Weihrauch; HW 77 circa 1987

    A little love and TLC, and you"ll have a real jewel. If you can, shoot it by a chronograph before you do anything to it and then again after you get into her internals and get it all cleaned up with the proper lubricants. Thinking of doing a tuning as well? Orv.

    Spring/Piston Doing a lot with a little...

    Ahhh , now you've opened the proverbial can of worms. On my TX200 I've installed a Vortek PG4 full power tune. The 12 fpe tune is popular as well and may actually be better for field target applications. The TbT tunes have a great folllowing too. YouTube has a plethora of "how to" videos on...

    New Model HW45 STL And More Coming To AoA

    These pistols sound great, if a bit pricy. I purchased my Springfield Arms Garrison 9mm with wood grips for just about that price. Its fun to shoot and target rounds aren't too expensive. It's my carry weapon to boot. Orv.

    AIRGUN WORLD MAGAZINE

    I know that a lot of you are as addicted to airguns as I am, so I've been wondering: How many of you subscribe to the British magazine, AIRGUN WORLD? Being based in Great Britain, some of the articles aren't of interest to those of us "across the pond" , but for the most part, I always enjoy...

    Hard Air Magazine Is Your AI-Free Airgun Information Source

    Where AI may be present, I don’t quite know what to believe. Half truths and lies makes it unreliable. Stephen, with you I know where the truth is. Thank you. Orv.

    New gun and a broke hip

    Indeed my stalwart wife is completely healed and tough as ever. We have agreed however, to keep our travels to the warmer climes. I'm happy that both our wives have healed. After all, somebody's got to take care we husbands. That sounds selfish, but it is what it is. Orv.

    New gun and a broke hip

    BbGUNN: My wife and I absolutely promised our Army son that we'd be wherever he might be once it was time to pin his full Colonel Eagels on him. He was then stationed at the Army War College in Carlyle, Pennsylvania. When it was timem I fired up the old motorhome/bus and heaaded for Carlyle...

    SCOPE RINGS: STYLE VS EFFICACY

    Nahh. . . It would take away the svelte beauty on my walnut stocks and blued metal. I'm good.

    SCOPE RINGS: STYLE VS EFFICACY

    I appreciate each of the above answers. . . all are food for thoight. One issue for me is that I'm unable to get my desired 4" eye relief with my single piece rings mounted on my TX200 or HW9K. The single piece rings will work on my HW50S, but for now, I'm enjoying shooting this rifle using it's...

    SCOPE RINGS: STYLE VS EFFICACY

    I've recently changed out the scope rings on my TX200 & HW97K , with Sportsmatch duel rings, with a stop pin on the rear ring. Hawke Scopes are mounted on both rifles. In my kit bag of tricks is a long un-used single mount with 2 rings about 3"apart. If a scope will clear when mounted in this...

    Here we go again, another bill, but this time federal

    Hummm. Lethal weapons. Next will they classify my Boy Scout knife ( yes, I still have mine), how about my claw hammer, or perhaps my grandson's base ball bat as lethal weapons. Oh, even the baseball itself might be dangerous. To me, sitting in a dark room gaming on their phones for hours on...

    Spring/Piston My TX200 Has Done it Again. . . Broke it's Scope Stop Pin

    The week before last we had. a new toilet installed. Great new throne. . . but the plumber found that we had some dry rot in the wooden sub-floor of the bathroom. Most of our home has ceramic tile floors. I purchased a couple of boxes of these tiles when this place was being build 16 years ago...

    just sayin!

    Jim, as you've read above, I've been where you are now. I can certainly empathize. Fortunately, at least in some ways, our house was built in 1982, so no abestos.We were it's first owners and residents. I watched it being built from the slab up. Fortunately for us, this was before the days of...

    Spring/Piston My TX200 Has Done it Again. . . Broke it's Scope Stop Pin

    Not just yet. I ordered Sportsmatch Rings from AoA, but they were out of the ones I wanted until last Friday. They are now in and they have shipped. Should get them on the TX200 later this week. Then . . . ttime to get shooting. Orv.

    just sayin!

    In 1984 a tornado came through our neighborhood in Lexington, KY. I gathered my 3 children and made for our safe room under the stairs. We too had State Farm homeowners insurance. It took 11 months for them to rebuild our house, and another year to fix what wasn't fixed the first time. We...
