Oh yes! Still, at 78 years of age, I 'm still cocking my 3 springers:: TX200, HW97K, and finally, my HW50s. I shot my HW97K for 2 hours this afternoon without throwing any joints out of place. Be patient, enjoy your shooting and the act of cocking a 9 pound spring-piston rifle will fall into...
Another beautifully engineered airgun from Weihrauch. I love the laminated walnut stock. I only wish that they could have found a way to move the pressure gauge. . . it makes me nervous looking down the barrel of any gun. Anyway I love it, but alas I'm a diehard springer devotee. Orv.
I don't feel tempted by the cheap junk available on today's market either, which is why, when it was time too replace my Pro Chrono Dlx, I chose to purchasse the Althon Radar Chronograph. I've been using now these last 8 months without complaint. Orv.
For storage, I generally leave my pumpers charged with 1 to 3 strokes of air to keep foreign objects from invading and to take pressure off the breech seals. I keep my rubber o-rings and breech seals lubricated by putting a few (very few) drops of silicon oil down the barrel periodically. My...
I guess the title of my post explains the question fairly well, but here's a quick background: I recently used the last of the suppplied moly grease for my Vortek Tune packages. I checked Amazon and ordered a can of moly grease by Valvolene. There was no indication that it was synthetic...
Cleaning quail is just not worth it for the very little meat available. In the past I've tried and found that while their dark meat is delicious, it takes about 4 birds to satisfy two diners. The cleaning project is tedious as well, at least for my inexperienced hands. Around here, the quail...
Those things look just like the Legos my grandchildren used to play with. Anyway, I'm not sure that a springer devotee such as myself will find much use for these parts. Orv.
Here in So. California we have lots of Gambel's Quail. A few weeks ago as a covey of them ran across our shooting range, I patiently waited as they scampered through. One of the foolish critters decided to perch right on the wrought iron frame of my paper target at 25 yards. It sat there and...
I keep all my tins as well . . . especially the screw on tops. I've got stock screws, I've got stop pins for my scopes, I've got replacement screws, washers of all shapes and sizes, oh yes, all those pins for those Weihrauchs that require them. I've got labeled tins for about everything I need...
Not all companies are bad. Airguns of Arizona only asks for $25 for pre-order and they are a reliable company, although they cannot control the companies they are ordering from. Give them a try if they have what you're looking for. Orv.
