    What did you buy/receive today?

    OK. . . Now I'm officially irritated with Airguns of Arizona for the first time. Please tell me if I should express my ire to them: when I recieved my (very expensive) new HW 50s, 75th Anniversary model rifle in blue laminate, I found that the small front sight inserts were missing. I knew...

    What did you buy/receive today?

    Not to gloat here, but just the thought of all those many o rings makes me wince. Hummmm. . . my TX200 springer has two o rings and one piston seal. This makes for more shooting time for me. That's good. Orv.

    What's your next air rifle purchase (2026)?

    Earlier this year I recieved my new 75th Anniversary HW50S .22 cal. in blue laminate from AoA. Of course, I love it. I only allow myself one new airgun a year, but next year is coming!. I may still use some HAM points to purchase a nice Hawke scope later this summer. My toybox is never full. Orv.

    Chinese Stuff? Not In This Lifetime.

    The competition is not in how fancy my guns are but in how well I can shoot them. Orv.

    Spring/Piston The story of Norma Jean, my Blonde TX200

    It's not the boys with the biggest toys who win, but those who know how to use the toys he's got. Orv.

    Back from Shoulder Replacement

    Isn't getting older fun? I had my right shoulder replaced and was back to shooting my springers fewer than six months later. For the first month, I wasn't allowed to move my shoulder at all, then it was constant PT and strengthing. Don't overdo it, but don't slack off either. Promise...

    Chinese Stuff? Not In This Lifetime.

    I will NOT intentionally purchase any Chinese airguns. Chinese manufacturing has put Americans asleep with their massive quantities and low prices. The Chinese government intends to supersede America's presence in to South East Pacific where a hugh amount of the Western World's needs must...

    Break Barrel The problem with Weihrauch springers....

    Beautiful choice. If I remember correctly, you've also got a 50s. How does it compare to your 30s? Orv.

    Break Barrel The problem with Weihrauch springers....

    I can't compare to most of you guys, my only Weihrauchs are my 97K and 50s, 75th Anniversary in blue laminate. I also have myriad other air rifles, pistols and revolver. Other than my HWs and TX200, most of my others don't get shot very ofter. I don’t think that my Sheridans been shot in 3...

    Welcome to the HAM family! I'm not familiar with your HW S Urban Pro. Tell us about it if you will. I'm sure that many of us on the Forum would agree w ith you about AoA being a first rate dealership. Orv.

    Break Barrel HW50S Laminated Blue Stock

    My powder burners sit tucked away unused, locked away in their cases. I haven't fired one nearly three years. There isn't a legal, safe place to shoot them within driving distance. This is the state of California after all. I can shoot airguns just a few steps from my front door.

    Break Barrel HW50S Laminated Blue Stock

    Well, I 'm not at all sure about getting punched in the nose, after all, my wife of 56 years barely stands 5 feet tall. Now, for myself, I 'm scared of her for sure. I too paid for the Vortek Super Tune at AofA. Money well-spent in my eyes. Some men spend their hard earned dollars on fancy...

    Break Barrel HW50S Laminated Blue Stock

    Thanks. My HW50s is number 815, purchase date of January 2026. I thought that maybe I'd put that beautiful blue/grey laminate rifel on the wall for all to see, but where's the fun in that?. So now it's a shooter, all .22 cal of it. I'm keeping all the box stuff incase somebody cares later. A...

You know, just a thousand of thers rifles were made in total, with just 300 of those coming to the goood old US of A. With you and me getting 2...

    Spring/Piston Balistol Bad for Blueing?

    I'm not quite sure what you mean by longevity, but being oil based it won't evaporate like an alcohol or water based product might do. Interestingly enough though, it doesn't feel "oily" either. Orv.

    Spring/Piston Balistol Bad for Blueing?

    Sure, we're all going to die of something. At 78 years, I think that old age is catching up with me. Orv.
