Pinty Buster .177 Inbound - New Project Gun

[Elexious Musick]

I think I may have fired 5 shots through the Buster.

Why so few shots? I sighted mine in with a CVLIFE WolfCloak Motion Awake Red/Green Dot and a Buck Rail 1/2 x20 UNC moderator. Stacks pellets at 20 yrds. All budget friendly components, but a very solid configuration! The Buster is an amazing airgun, particularly for the price point.

I bought it and the Alpha at the same time and the Buster took a month traveling around the country before it showed up. I designed a folding stock for it and quickly fired a partial mag through it, just to make sure it worked. I had already started playing around with the Alpha and so I put the Buster on the wall and never quite got back to it yet.

Glad I was able to help you, even though I didn't grab one yet. I am contemplating doing so anyway... seriously contemplating.

I need to determine my financial disposition concerning a couple gun auctions first, lol. Then I'll pull the (much lighter) trigger. That young guy who is waiting to save up for a decent scope should just take a existing scope off a gun and enjoy it. I believe scopes can be moved from gun to gun. Good practice moving and sighting them in.

I remember, that shipping was quite the adventure. Play with the Buster. I think you're gonna love it. Maybe print something cool for it that members could buy?

I do the exact same thing. Work on a gun then don't touch it for too long, months sometimes. I actually brought a Reximex RPA PCP air pistol, blue laminated, .22 cal that I haven't shot yet, opened the fitted case and said to myself, oh cool! Then closed the case, lol. I have the same setup for my Reximex as Shooter 1721. Hopefully I'll put it together and shoot this weekend.

I agree, scopes can be moved around. Scope from my 362 100th Anniversary is currently on my Vanguard because the 362 doesn't need it right now. I need to get some higher rings and mount the pinty scope I bought for the Vanguard so that I can use my 10 round RCO magazines, but this works for now. There are a few setups I don't touch, but in general I let things be semi-fluid in configuration.

Don't forget PP15 to save some green when you go to pull the trigger.

I didn't bid high enough to win anything today. People were bidding hundreds of dollars more than the actual value of the guns, SMH. So I purchased the Nightfall 2.0! I had a 25% off coupon that Thiago gave me back in December that I used. Really made it a bargain buy! Looking forward to getting and shooting this little gem.

They said it would be a high priority lol.

We have a task force working round the clock, LOL. Reminds me of The Big Lebowski scene!

I just finished mounting a scope and sighting in the Nightfall 2.0, used a Buck Rail suppressor, really helped quiet it down. Trigger pull weight is definitely much better, no issues now. All metal construction is of high quality. It's a lot of gun for the money. A hallmark of Pinty. My only concern so far is a slightly loose lower bolt, the black portion that makes contact with the bottle valve. The looseness causes the rear of the bolt to not smoothly engage the valve intermittently. Worried because I'm only about 100 shots in. We shall see if it gets worse. Other than that I like this gun.
