What’s your latest airgun purchase?

[FL22]

Thank you. After I joined was when I realize that this site is mainly for high end air guns.

Hello and welcome to HAM.

No worries, you will get sucked into spending money on Airguns this is a collective of enablers .

 

[flyfisher]

Noo, not just high end! Bunch of us here have Break barrels, pumpers, C02, and "1st" entry level pcp rifles! You gotta start somewhere in air guns, and 99 outta 100 is not with the high or mid level cost wise PCP's.

Thank you for setting me straight. I just may settle in.

Is this the airgun equivalent of "penis envy?"

Not sure, but I believe that one of our members has “PCP envy” probably why he talks disparagingly about them all the time .

I'm already sucked into the money pit we call air guns. Hi, My name is Bill and I have a problem. LOL Besides the three break barrels I mentioned, I actually started 4 years ago. First a Diana Chaser co2 pistol bnd 6 months later I got the Diana Chaser rifle kit. Spent a crapload on co2 cartridges and another boat load on pellets the pellets did not go to waste because I needed something more powerful. Unfortunately I only have a 10 yard shooting range in my basement. Air gunnining is my cold month hobby.Warm months , my passion fly fishing.

Cool. Love fly fishing, and fishing in general. Always need a good pellet gun around here when fishing cause of the snakes. See, you can combine your hobbies, make the air guns year round hobby.

It's funny you mention 10k....semi recently i did a brain check and pretty sure I'm close to crushing that number Once I get a compressor I'm definitely there.

AH Ha, see you're no better than the rest of us I love pcps or a well built spring powered airgun myself. Both have their place in my collection.

Amazon slugs…. My advice…. Stay away. I didn’t expect match grade, just something to plink with in the Escape. But this is just sorry. It wasn’t my delivery guy, he walked them up to the porch and placed them respectably on my table. Thankfully the second tin didn’t bust open as they were two different grains.

I know what you mean about Amazon and pellets. Had a few incidences my self, especially when the manufacturer sells the tin with out packaging. When I first started with air guns they were co2. One of my co2 cartridge orders was for 4 off brand 50 count from Amazon. When I opened the shipping box, two of the co2 boxes busted open. 100 loose cartridges all over the shipping box.

Yeah, from here on I’ll stick to batch orders from airgun shops. Utah, Arizona, The Pellet Shop, etc. mainly I was running low, planning on shooting Monday, and short on time. 2 day shipping, we’ll give them a shot… Now I know for sure and don’t just suspect.

I know what you mean about passions. I had to retire again so that I had time for Airguns, Archery, axe throwing, bowling, fishing, golf, motorcycles, paddling, powder burners, pickleball, and whatever else that comes up. .you are in the right place, good folks here. Welcome.

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.

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 maple mags are great. There is another one as well. The name won't stick in my mind. He is making hi cap mags as well now, and nit just for the Notos. I have 6,7 maybe....anyway, they both so far above factory mags there is no comparison.

 

[FL22]

PA order. Probably won’t see it till mid February, back ordered two items.
