What'cha doing air gun related today?

[Fred Bear]

I have been trying to rein myself in on this airgun trip. “I don’t need anything bigger, better”, I tell myself. Yet, here I am in pursuit of a heavy hitting .22. While on the search, stumble across this on the website of a local store. Thank goodness they are open by appointment only, otherwise I would have been in trouble.

Dam. Only way get away with shooting that in my Wisconsin back yard is on 4th of July. They would mistake it for fireworks. That is one sweet gun

I love where I live. Got farms all around us with us having permission to shoot on the land for vermin and ect. Got 45-55 and building a 90 yard range on it

Pinty Buster quick thoughts.

I pulled the barrel on my Pinty Buster and inspected it. I did not check for barrel port diameter but what I did like is the barrel port is beveled so if there is a slight alignment issue, the flow shouldn't be restricted. A factory version of the port in my Notos barrel I had to fabricate. I attempted a small hammer weight but I'd have to get a shorter spring, which I don't have. I have no plan to port as I don't want to mess with the warranty. The barrel came CLEAN, like I ran thru it with a patch worm and it had no dirt(Hatsan should take note). I adjusted the hammer spring as far in as it will allow and I get 725 fps average on Norma heavy, 750 fps on H&N 15.9, 770 fps crosman ultra magnum 14.3. The grip is soft and feels great but separated at the top as nothing holds the rubber to the block. They missed on the grip. Removal and install of the barrel, and hammer spring was easy. I did not go any further. The barrel has 2 set screws atop, one more for the pic rail/barrel guard that sets into the barrel. The trigger grip is one screw from the bottom and the hammer adjuster spins off after the grip is removed.

The air cylinder for the Buster is almost Exactly the same size and diameter as the Notos a 66cc stock tube. 100cc is BS, no big deal it's simply false advertising.

3.5/5 Stars, if the grip was not sloppy and the air cylinder size correct it would be closer to 4.5 stars.

Hey, John Wayne! Lol! Cheech Marin from Big Bambu! Some backyard plinking with my wife. She was nailing soda cans at 20 feet, no problem. KWC manufactured 1911s are the absolute best replica 1911s made.

I shot the EscapeSS with the .22 barrel in it. The last time I shot I clipped the top of my chrono so that's not working, I am just about done wasting money on those things. I can see with my own eyes if it is shooting well or not and I can pretty much tell how fast it is going by the sound it makes now. This is the 3rd one I have gone through. I shot a bunch of different pellets so did not take the time to do any tuning. I shot at 30 yards today and the JSB 13 grain and the Hades 25 grain did the best, but many others did well also like Barracudas and JSB 15 grains. I forgot to burn the first shot when I switched to the Hades and that should be done with Airforce guns. It was also coming down the hill, getting low on air and I should have refilled the gun first, but I can see that with a full tank and some tuning they will be great. It was fun just getting out and shooting before it got to hot.

If it is really a third smaller, that’s a big deal in my opinion. Don’t get me wrong, I understand what you’re saying. I’m just jaded by all the BS we are fed. LOL. The grip is definitely cheesy, but not a deal breaker.
