Welcome to the forum. I moved your post over to the general discussion area as it will get much more attention here.

Reminds me of "back in the day" when I first found the old Sixgunners site. I read every article on it, got the feeling I was somehow related to some of the authors as their way of thinking was definitely similar to my own. And then one day I clicked on the link to the old Disc.Sewer.com f...

Guys, it is amazing how much difference there is in the accuracy with different pellets in this rifle. I've found best results with "name brand" pellets (mostly JSB and H&N or AirArms), but even there different rifles like different pellets. When one gets into cheaper pellets the diff...

The HP pellets expand impressively, but there's just not enough power
in an air rifle to exploit the energy enough to kill.

You need to try some of the 30 cal PCP's...

Some rifles are very pellet picky. Kind of like some 22 rifles as far as ammunition preferences. I keep a wide variety of pellets on hand for that reason, to try out in different rifles to get a feel for what they like. My AirArms rifles do seem to have a preference for JSB's, but I've got some H&am...

Definitely encouraging results!

Y'all have me curious about my own example that's sitting up north waiting. Looking forward to seeing how y'all overcame the issues.

Thank you, Andy, for taking on the responsibility for running the forum. This morning it seems "snappy", compared to how it's been in the recent past. So I'm here, holdin' the fort while me darling bride chaperones her folks around up north, taking care of necessary mission business. So I ...

Yep, not bad for a 20 year old rifle. 1978 WAS just 20 years ago, right?

Yep. What Jim said.

Thanks, Bill. We're tickled pink he decided to come celebrate down here where we could make it. Can't believe he's so close to retiring! Makes me feel older than I am.

Good write-up! Thanks for refreshing my memory! It has been decades since I passed through there, so, I looked at my iPad's map app. Raton, NM is twelve hours of driving, with most of it just getting across Texas, from our home on the Coastal Prairie. I have been wanting to visit the Whittington Ce...

My darling wife and I were blessed to be able to accompany our son, Master Sergeant Moreland, to the Marine Corps ball in the city of Bogotá, celebrating the 250th anniversary of the founding of the USMC. No leverguns involved, but the color guard was equipped with a pair of M14's, pretty cool to se...

That's a good looking cartridge. Love the history of that pistola.

I'm amazed at the number of folks who believe the tool is wicked rather than the hand the wields it. I know a number of "people of faith" who are proud to not carry so much as a pen knife. I've got Jesus, a couple of pocket knives, an inventive mind and depending on certain factors a few o...

That 25-35 especially looks like a right sweet package! Have had a thing for that caliber for most of my life, and the high wall platform just sweetens the deal!

Empty, plowed, fallow fields are great for walking shots onto a target. Up in NW CO one year we were invited out to a family's place. We ended up on the deck, shooting out at random weeds in an empty field. It was the first time I got to try my 3" Taurus 44 spl past "normal" ranges. O...

Long range can be relative. I like to stretch out the Baikal IZH46M to 50 meters, although it's been quite a while since I did that. Years ago I got a group of about an inch at that distance, doubt I could equal that today. I was holding just about the entire barrel up in the rear sight and placing ...

My first reloading setup that involved more than a knife and a stick was one of the Lee Loader kits for 38/357. The trouble I ran into was it only resized the neck area. So a cartridge fired in a loose chamber could not be reloaded and fired in a tight chamber. Later I picked up a Lee Speed Die and ...

Yep, that's Kelly!! Glad y'all were able to get together.

Paul, did you just dump them in or actually try to stack them? Being as they are a shuttlecock i wonder if they would self right... If I recall correctly, I mostly just dumped them in helter skelter. These were cup shaped with parallel (allegedly) sides. The second worst pellets I've ever had. The ...

I've thought about trying pellets in shotshells, though I haven't taken the time to do it as I'm sure it would be frustrating trying to stack them ! Probably work wonders on garden pests but not worth the effort! Way back in the 20th Century, the national brands put out some truly awful pellets, un...

"Something's not right! Something's not right!" Hey, nothing gets past a good dog, even a weird craft project! Reminds me of the time Biscuit went on full alert over a pineapple on the kitchen counter. And as you say, he might well save your lives one day.

Is that a 22 LR? Interesting, indeed. I'd not heard of them yet.

I would rather it look good than have the safety.
You ain't talking me out of it!

I, for one, greatly appreciate hearing how these rifles are shooting. I'm curious about heavier (300 gr +/-) bullets are moderate velocities. "Just because". Scott, your limiting to SAA level loads is intriguing as well.

One thing most of y'all probably don't have to worry much about is "being made" by someone giving you a hug. That's a part of latino culture that complicates CCW as you've got to find ways to not only cover your pistol but prevent it from being touched inadvertently.

Funny, thought I'd posted in this thread. Back in the day when suit and tie were more often used, no one ever noticed the heavier side pocket of my jacket. Nowadays an untucked shirt or western vest does the honors, but IWB is mostly used. One very good option would be one of Skinner Sights Bible co...

Wrong time, no funds available. Still had fun watching them gradually get knocked down one at a time. Considering they mostly all have Slixshot (or whatever the brand is) cones installed and the cost of the custom sight and installation thereof, prices were on the low side for many of them. Had my e...

I've been messing around with the Epiphone for the past few weeks. I've got three options to plug it in, an Orange Crush BX25 bass amp, a powered PA type speaker and a First Act MA104 4 watt amp I picked up at a garage sale years ago for $10 or so. That El Cheapo amp doesn't sound half bad, all thin...

Timing is interesting, right while folks are trying to put an end to the NFA. Weird.

I was dragged into NYC last year by my darling bride. We spent a day walking the city and looking at this and that. When we reached the twin towers memorial there was one name I looked for.

Nice, reflector knobs and zebra pickups are a classic look - congrats and happy birthday! I wouldn't feel bad about the bass amp.

Any update? I caught the notice he gave on FB. Give him our best regards. Prayer support continues.

Well, I didn´t see it coming. We "had to run an errand" to the shopping center. No big deal. We somehow managed to find ourselves in front of the music store where I pick up strings or other necessary things on occasion, and rubber neck frequently. I saw the place where a guitar I've had m...

A few years ago I picked up a Rossi external hammer double 12 gauge. The firing pins were peened something fierce, but Jack First supplied new and improved ones. Part of the allure for the piece was that very "poor man's double rifle" vibe. BUT there was that panic driven shortage going on...
