    Others Weihrauch HW97K Walnut

    What can I say, I have a fetish for fine walnut wood and beautifully blued works making up the majority of my airgun collection. Shoot (excuse the pun), but the same goes for my powder burners as well. I have a truly gorgeous Baretta 92FS that has engraved walnut grips. This was given to me by...

    HAM POINTS: How are you going to use yours?

    I just purchased my 75th Anniversary HW50S from AofA and am using my 1000 HAM Points to get my 10% discount. Win, win for all. Orv.

    HW50 Jubilee Model Is A One In A Thousand Opportunity

    As I've blabbered on about having my heart set on one of these rifles from day one, I now have one paid for in full, and awaiting my arrival in April to pick it up from AoA. When I placed my order with Darren this week, there were only 13 of these rifles in stock. Darren didn't say whether more...

    Break Barrel Should I Go Ahead and Shoot It?

    A few days ago I ordered a blue laminated stock, HW 50S .22 cal. rifle from Airguns of Arizona. This is the "75th Year Anniversary Collectors Edition ", and all the pictures of it are gorgeous. It's not like I don't have enough nice rifles to shoot already, but as I drool over this beautiful...

    Spring/Piston Beauty Contest. . . Which Wax?

    It's been several months now, and my rifles that have been treated with Renaissance Wax look just as good as when I first applied it. I also apply Ballistol to the stocks and bluing after each day of shooting. I enjoy keeping my guns looking sharp just as much as shooting them. Orv.

    Break Barrel I TOLD YOU GUYS I WAS GOING TO TO IT!

    Pictures, I'm not sure. I've actually never tried to put pictures on the internet. Unfortunately, I'll have to wait until April to pick up my new blue laminate HW50S directly from AoA as guns of any kind cannot be shipped to a military base. I've found that having a rifle shipped to a UPS store...

    Break Barrel I TOLD YOU GUYS I WAS GOING TO TO IT!

    .22 cal. Just makes better sense with my 78 yr. old very arthritic hands/fingers.

    Break Barrel I TOLD YOU GUYS I WAS GOING TO TO IT!

    I thought that I was going to break the bank this coming Spring, but in a conversation with Darin at AoA this afternoon, I found out that there were only 13 blue laminate HW50S left in stock, and he wasn't at all sure when or if any more 75th Anniversary models would be arriving. I had wanted a...

    What Age Group Do You Fit in?

    HAM POINTS: How are you going to use yours?

    I used my available 1000 pts. to purchase an Athlon chronograph from Airguns of Arizona. All in all, it was a very pleasant experience. My ignorance with computers was helped by HAM 's very own Mr. Archer's kindness in walking me through the HAM Points program. For years I've used a...

    HAPPY NEW YEAR FELLOW HAMSTERS!

    May your NEW YEARS be brought in with a proper BANG! Were camped out on Colorado at Arroyo awaiting the Rose Parade. This year in a cold rain. The crowds are still out, awaiting the most beautiful and patriotic parade of the year. We've celebrated the New Year here nearly every year for 70...

    Others HW97 arrived today. Good job ups.

    Ahhh. . . I'm indeed jealous. Did you order through AoA? If so, I'll inquire about doing it too. Damn the dollars, full speed ahead!. That's indeed a beautiful rifle. When I order my HW50s, I hope that they're available in walnut by then. I'm truly attached to walnut stocks on my rifles. Orv.

    Others HW97 arrived today. Good job ups.

    I know exactly how you feel. When I first un-boxed my walnut HW97K .22 cal from AoA a couple of years ago, I was truly excited. I still actually shoot it more often than I do my TX200. Believe it or not, it out shoots my TX too. My 97K shoots JSB 15.89 cal pellets best, although Benjamin Single...

    Not Great Airgunning Weather Here Today 😢

    Ooooh! Forgive me for complaining. Our overnite lows range from the mid 40s to mid 70's during the daytime. I don't like the cold! Orv.

    You never get too old to make a fool of yourself, I am living proof.

    Best offer I've got is to say "let's hit the range in the AM ". The rest will work itself out. Orv.

    Am I Going backwards ?

    I hadn't realized how old this thread was and responded thinking that perhaps he'd come back. Thanks for setting me straight. Mike was a vital part of this community and I'm sorry to see him gone. His situation is a reminder for us to all find balance in our lives and be carefull not to obcess...
