There's a huge difference to me between sharing with those I consider to be my friends and fellow HAMsters here on these forums, and being used commercially by whoever wants to buy my thoughts or knowledge. I just can't imagine Mr. Archer going down this commercial rabbithole. I surely don't...
Is Airgun Depot trying to become the Airguns of Arizona by using volunteers instead of professionals to dispense product info? I may well be wrong, but this doesn’t seem like an appealing business plan to me. Orv.
Its not always how the gun shoots. Each of mine is accurate. . . as accurate as I am on any given day. My old Sheridan is accurate and fun to shoot. My TX200 will always shoot better than I can. My HW97K is a joy to shoot as well, especially under challenging conditions. And oh, its accurate...
I appreciate knowing that Balistol is based on mineral oil. It was safe enough for babies bottoms back in the seventies when my kids were born. In six years of using it, there's been no harm.
Earlier today I heard mention via ytube that my favorite go to for almost everything, Balistol, will damage the blueing on my guns. I've been using it liberally on both my pb guns as well as my airguns for about 6 years now. It makes everything shine, eliminating fingerprints, disolving oil...
Springers are indeed my airgun pf choice. We fired them all through the brush and hillsides of where we lived in Southern California when we were kids.. We all practiced gun safety from day one. . . nobody got shot. I shot pellet guns with my kids during their golden years of growing up. I...
I guess that its just tough.when you've got an eye for quality. For rather obvious reasons, we springer guys are simply hooked on Air Arms and HW for their appearance and heirloom quality. For my next toy, I want a HW30S. Perhaps by a year from now I'll have saved enough to buy one. Orv.
I always keep my rifles with their wooden stocks shining and lubricated with Balistol at every use. Of course, they're kept waxed with Renaissance Wax. Now what is the best way to care for my HW50s with blue laminated wood? Thanks in advance for your ideas and help, Orv.
Tomorrow's the day when I will finally be able to test my TX200, .22 cal over the chronograph. Over the weekend I installed a Vortek PG4 Tune kit. The temperature tomorrow will range in the low 70's here in the So. Cal. High Desert. I'm interested in hearing from those of you with this tune...
This sounds like the expected sloppy service from the now Gamo owned Benjamin. My rifles shoot really well with the Benjamin Single Die Pellets made here in the USA. When I once again need to buy pellets, I will probably just order one tin and see how they look, shoot and where they are...
Two years ago I ordered two tins of these Benjamin Single Die pellets. I was so impressed with them that I ordered twelve more tins. They took a. Couple of months to finally get shipped, but I finally got them and continue to enjoy them in my springers. My concern now is that they will no...
Here in the high desert, 50% is pretty normal. Ir rained most of yesterday and today. I just checked our humidity, its at 55-60% right now says the friendly weather girl on my phone. She says 40% is our summer level. We used to have a condo in Boca Raton and I could never get dry. It's just...
I can pull that felt out easily. Fortunately, I live in the very dry high desert of Southern California. I hadn't thought of the moisture problem, thanks, I 'll watch it. Orv.
OK friends, the job was finally completed yesterday. I installed a Vortek PG4 Tune kit in my TX200 rifle. After I stripped it all down, I used isopropyl alcohol to thoroughly clean everything, inside and out. As advertised in the various YouTube videos, strip-down took less than ten minutes...
I'm a bit ambivalent about all this. I seem to be at the "silver" level. I'm more of a "I said it and I mean it kind of guy". Just sell me what I want without spinning wheels and perk levels. Orv.
The saga over the past six years of my TX200, .22 cal is coming full circle. I received a Vortek PG4 Tune kit in the mail today. Yes, I attempted this installation five years ago, I blew it, the top hat was stuck in the compression tube and I didn't realize it. Adding the one from Vortek...
