The Air Gun Thread

Let's talk about AG's only here.
I have several. Each is designed and used differently.
My main AG is a Hatsan 125 Sniper in .25 cal.
It is deadly at 70 yards zero punching through a plastic 5 gallon bucket!
Next is my 1322 in .22 cal.
Good for out to maybe 40 yards.
My pride and joy is the SMG 22.
Belt fed, full auto, SubMachine Gun that is crazy accurate out to about 50 yards!
Nice thing is they are cheap to fire as ammo is cheap and easy to get.
And I don't need to register them.

I respect the Laws and also practice safe shooting here at home.
If any of the neighbors are out and about?
I don't shoot. Even though I know they are not in my line of fire and I have a very safe fire zone.

I'm not into them, but my son was. I was amazed at the quality of reproductions. I even got tommy gun, look and felt real. My sons fav was a SAW, fired electric and could really put them out. They didn't have anything as powerful as you, but those plastic bb's still hurt. His friends geared up and had wars with each other, now he;s into paint ball guns.

When I first read this, I thought you said "punching through 5 plastic buckets!"
That would be pretty powerful...and probably illegal.

That Diana looks awfully a lot like my fathers air rifle.

Hi All, I have a 1979 BSA Meteor breach loader, was in a state when I got it, so I stripped it down,removed the broken spring, degreased it completely with brake cleaner, drilled the transfer port to 1/8th", then counter sunk it with a rose drill bit then polished it till it shone! Polished the entire cylinder and piston
lubricated the assembly with dry PTFE lubricant, fitted a Titan XS mainspring and reassembled the rifle! Somewhat of a difference! I would not want to be on the business end of it! Had some lovely rifles in my time, the best I think was a BSA Airsporter underleaver, lovely rifle.

Jeff-Groves · 04-08-16, 01:55 PM

I would love to see pictures Mate!!
I haven't had a BSA yet but you never know when the opportunity may turn up.

As for me? I've bought or built a lot of equipment to work on Air Guns.
My goal is to open my own shop and offer parts and services.

The Air Guns out there now are not what I played with years ago.

Jeff-Groves · 04-30-16, 06:04 PM

At a job site in Rogers, Arkansas.
Home of Daisy Air Guns!!
My Motel is 4 minutes away from the Daisy Museum so I went there today.

Here's a few pics I took.

Jeff-Groves · 04-30-16, 06:36 PM

Some of the newest products on the Market and a shooting range all set up.
