What did you do airgun related today?

I just tried to split a couple more cans. They won these rounds, but it was nice. Cap shot 50 yards to try and dry Canada, Pinty was 25 yards looking for a peppery Dr.

I'm am doing some of my inventory on a few!

Kind of like Church pews, very nice.

In retrospect perhaps Crosman moving a majority of their airgun production to China, 34% tariff, wasn't such a smart move?

"Snuck" back out for pellet testing the Avenger 25 cal at 50 yards when baby went down for 2nd nap.

Swapped out the buttstocks on my Atomic and Pathfinder and did some sweet plinking from 25 to 64 yards with my Pathfinder XR… That gun simply rocks, wine corks cut in half out to 64 yards. Yes, I miss, but not often…

Ordered a Barra 250Z in 25 caliber and a DonnyFL Yokozuna to quiet it down. Also got an assortment of m-lok picatinny rails in tan the same color as the rifle stock. It's an early birthday present! It's been raining here in Missouri for 6 days and I'm going stir crazy being stuck inside.

I hope the flooding isn't too bad in your neck of the woods. One of my brothers ended up evacuating to my parents' place down south of you in Arkansas, because of the rain.

I put the a Mission First Tactical Buttstock on my Pathfinder…

REVIEW: Mission First Tactical Battlelink Minimalist Stock (BMSMIL)

If you don’t like the look of the Mission First Tactical Battlelink Minimalist Stock (BMSMIL), you’ll probably never buy one. That’s a shame because this stock, in use, is stellar…

Finally printed my targets for April challenge.
Also got the barrel band back off the pinty and started sanding its ID so that it is snug, but not stuck snug, when it goes back on. I should install bipod on my Avenger, but I think I will save it for emergency airgun therapy work tomorrow.

I just can't thumbs up enough! Know the sentiment is there, those who kindly share. Hand pumped my lelya 2.0 and shot 2 mags throu it. Topped it up again. And researched airguns of course!

Sometimes we have time to shoot, sometimes we don’t. Sometimes we only have time to organize or do maintenance.

What did you do airgun related today?

While not directly to do with air guns, I have been working on my compressor during this crazy weather spring is dropping on us here in N.Y. The compressor is a Tuxing twin cylinder and I'm just looking to improve head temps and crankcase oil. So far i have managed to lower head temp enough to justify the work. 1) Use the right type of oil. 2) Never use just water, use something like RV/MARINE coolant, I use a 1gal water to 2gal coolant in a 5gal Igloo cooler. hours before use I will have a frozen 2-liter bottle of water to add to the cooler (precool) Wait 1 1/2 hr. then i add 2 vacuumed packed blocks of ice, let just the pump run until the temp stabilizes, I have added foil to most of the water line to help keep heat at bay, Also what help a lot has the shower head that I can't take credit for someone passed on to me and it works great on mixing the warm water evenly. I wish i would of tested it before I did the improvements but i know it didn't run this well and this cool, START TEMP 48 STARTING PSI-2500. ending Temp 117. ending PSI 4400- TIME 25 min. Next up will be oil temp using heat sinks and fans. Not looking to have a longer run time, I think 25 min is long enough, just want to make it run cooler for longevity, its 4 years old and still running strong.

I put a piece of plastic tube for looks on my PP750 and shot some AEA 8gr pellets. I have some black vinyl wrap for the tube I’ll put on it at some point. I did a light tune. It’s 2000psi shooting the 8gr at 750fps.

popped a garden pest at 65+ yards smilled and went back to my coffee

Put bipod on the Cap, and took it all for a spin on the April challenge target. Handled my M1A again while I contemplate zero range plans for it, and swapped out the bbs in my marlin from copperheads to Hornady blacks.
