Finally received my Maple mags for my Notos...no more having to leave a loaded mag in the gun for fear of having a damaging jam from trying to remove it. Also, no more clipped pellets due to imperfect alignment. Should've ordered much earlier.
The same experience I've had....only time I can order pellets and not have them come in damaged is when they're ordered from an airgun specialty store. Others don't package them adequately to eliminate shipping damage.
I paid much less than that for my Benjamin 312....think it was about $30...but then again, at any intersection there could be gas stations on every corner and the gas wars that went on might push gas prices slightly below $.20 a gallon. Just 60 short years in the past!!!
I remember when they first came out and I was sorely tempted. Unfortunately powder burners were my passion at the time and I didn't have the funds to expand. Still sorry I didn't...
Been fascinated by guns and knives for as far back as I can remember. Got a hatchet and pocket knife at about the age of five but had to wait until my 13th birthday for my first air rifle-still have it 62 years later- cans and birds were my preferred targets. Feel guilty about some of the bird...
Hate to admit it, but I'm barely able to navigate on the computer. The only YouTube channel I view with any frequency is MountainSportsAirguns and that's because they're posted here in the community. I really appreciate what all the other members have listed here so I can check out what's...
Starlings have been conspicuous by their absence around my area lately. I'll hear and see a few individuals at a distance but not the flocks I'm used to seeing. The English ivy berries are gone now so that may have something to do with it.
I had a good friend when I was growing up that had a Sheridan blue streak .20 that I lusted after for years....thought it was the best airgun possible.
My oldest is a Crosman V 350 BB gun that is just about 6 weeks short of 62 years old. Doesn't really shoot anymore but occasionally I give thoughts to trying to restore it. After the Crosman comes the Benjamin 312 that's almost 60 years old. The Beeman C1 is only about 41....after that it's just...
I understand your view on shooting from the prone position. I tried yesterday and couldn't get any further than kneeling. Only made 3 shots with my Notos before my down knee started hurting and I was shaking like a toy poodle crapping peach pits!! Needless to say, I won't be sharing that target...
OTB for me and adequate for the ranges that are readily available for me...seldom take a shot over 20Y and any misses are my fault, not the Notos. Did clean the barrel and adjust the trigger....added a cheap scope and that's it.
I got some cleaning pellets back in the early 80's when I bought my C1 from Beman's. If I remember correctly, it was recommended to load 3 at a time to limit piston slam. The only airguns I've used recently all have moderators so I'd be hesitant to try them now though they worked fine for the...
