I received a moderator adapter for the snowpeak max. Didn't change the Ping sound coming from aluminum baffles in the shroud with a buckrail mod.

Took 3 guns out for some Unbirthday plinking fun, only got to enjoy the Pinty Timber though. Finished sighting in its new scope. At end of sighting, was starting to get riled up about where is the shots hitting... then my cross hair moved and I found my shots, on the bullseye. Followed that with shooting my full accoutrement of silhouettes, 24 shots to hit all 23. Then shot 2 on their sides, brick, concrete brick, then 45 yards to ring my bell and wooden fish.
Then I tried Air Rifle Shooting Championship, and suddenly my shots were about 2" off of bull, with occasional fliers. I think my gage quit tracking and I fell off the reg, but can't prove it right now as I didn't get to verify.

Adjusted the regulator up on the Nova Liberty, shooting 21 gr H&N slugs at 970-960. I've extracted enough power until I can get a range day longer than my back yard. So I will put the stock back together ger her zeroed in until I can shoot 50 yards plus.(Damn this weather!!?!?!).
.Started things off with getting all of my airguns in spreadsheet, with S/Ns, date of purchase, date of manufacture (best guesses), and other data to keep track of what I got.
After lunch I officially gave mama her Red Ryder, she promptly went out and put on a shooting clinic with it.
After telling me we are going to have to duel, she came back in and personalized it for herself.
Seeing mama have fun reminded my 12-year old that bb/airguns are fun, so he finally got his Marlin Lever Action from Christmas out for the first time. He and I sat together in the gazebo plinking away for 30-45 minutes. He with his Marlin, and I with my Daisy 188. We practiced gun/range safety, chased soda cans around, rang the gong, etc.
In between mama and son, I got my Crosman 130 out to try silhouette shooting at 5m with 15+ mph winds. It wasn't super successful, but I got it army man approved at least.
I think it was a successful airgun day.

Tweaking some triggers, chrono some pellets. Smack some steel. It's springer love day at redneck ranch. Oh, sold some mods, and mounts. It's all good.

Probably doesn't deserve its own post, so I'll ask here. Received some old pellets that appear pretty dusty when opened. Some older h & n match 10.65s, should I simply rinse/dry off or...well any opinion from experience would be welcome. Thank you guys.

Over the years I've accumulated thousands of old pellets from the 50's through the 90's in that dusty condition. I just soak them in spray silicone oil after removing as much foreign debris as possible. Usually the pellet tins are just dried out so oiling them does the trick.
I stopped washing and lubricating pellets more than a year ago. I personally found it to be a waste of time, didn’t change anything. ymmv
You could try shooting some clean and lubed and some as they are and judge for yourself.
I think weighing is more important than washing or lubing if you are looking for best accuracy at distance

I see insight on all 3 opinions above. I purchased a scale and a good digital caliper as well the last few weeks. Setting up with proper tools and work area, along with a 2nd chronograph once it's nice enough to shoot. This will be 1st spring getting into the technical aspect of it all.
I found if you weigh your pellets, especially jsb, there is quite a variation. Just weigh 10 and get 10 that not within 1/10 gr of your target shoot the good 1’s first check sd then shoot the oddballs and check sd and you will see.

I'll do that. I had some bad deviation out at 25 yards with the jsb 13.4, shooting a consistent weight and adjusting the hammer until I find accuracy. Can't wait to get out and test.
Do you find any merit in using a pellet sizer? I haven’t really looked into it, but it seems like weighing and sizing a pellet would be beneficial.
