BB Guns and Such / Re: Crosman 760 "enough" accuracy for a 7 year old?« Last post by anti-squirrel on Today at 02:25:53 PM »A couple things:
1: that's abysmal accuracy even for a smoothbore 760 at 25 feet. My very first BB gun was a 760 and it could put every BB inside a 2" circle at 25 feet 2: such poor accuracy would have frustrated me to the point of losing interest 3: way more accurate barrels are available dirt-cheap from Crosman What would I do? Skip the smoothbore. Just order up a MK4-177 rifled barrel from Crosman; somewhere in these threads I have a brief post on how I altered a given-to-me 760 a few years ago. I've since re-barreled a number of 760s, and all of them shoot BBs mediocre... But they all cloverleaf at 15 yards with cheapo Crosman domes (and Daisy wadcutters). I also found the RWS Meisterkugeln wadcutters really give great results (out to 30 yards-ish!). I know BBs are way cheaper, but accuracy is far more rewarding with an accurate barrel. I get frustrated with projectile-flingers that display horrid accuracy. If I'm plinking with a BB-gun, I'd rather it be a dedicated BB gun like a Daisy Model 25 or Buck. 14

I think she said she's adding it to a cheese, pepperoni and cracker/chip tray. That will be lunch and leftover lasagna and pull apart garlic bread for dinner. Maybe a root beer float for a snack later.

Back Room / Re: Good morning! Are you up yet? What's your plans for today?« Last post by anti-squirrel on Today at 02:11:59 PM »Everybody is doing all kinds of fun stuff judging by what I'm reading here. Well, maybe not all fun, but fun enough. We're cooler here; low 60s at most after several 80+ degree days, and rain inbound.
Me? I was intending to load up the trailer and the pick-up with tools, cabinets, shelving, etc to bring up to our shed on the property, but with rain likely, I'm holding off until tomorrow morning. The good news is we have a provisional occupancy permit so we can start moving household goods to the quonset. I'm done hanging doors at the "old house", but Goal #1 is still finishing the final door frame in our hallway. No door, just the jamb, but I have to rip some boards, then shim and level out the threshold, then build it out. Somewhere in between data migration stuff in my "day job" I also need to make some French Cleats for our bathroom cabinets. Once I finish this last frame, I can start with the trim and the remaining drywall/skimcoating on the current house. Dunno how much I'll accomplish today, but making progress is really all we can ask for. 17
German AirGun Gate / Re: Is there a competitor for the HW 50?« Last post by HectorMedina on Today at 02:04:15 PM »It was nice to see the Diana 280 brought up. I don't see it mentioned much at all. I absolutely love mine. For the shooting I do I couldn't ask for a better all around rifle. I wish it was still available. Hello Bill, Happy to see you are still happy! Keep well and shoot straight!

Crosman-Benjamin Air Gun Gate / Re: Extended Pump 1322« Last post by Mzq284 on Today at 01:58:54 PM »Did you have to cock your gun first to pump with that spring? It takes the right balance for the
I did at first, but I think the hammer spring has taken a little set as I don't have to now. But I'm in the habit of opening the bolt on my pumpers before I pump them up, so not a problem. While you're in the valve, drop in a Marauder valve stem, they're a harder plastic and easier to knock open. 2 bucks from Crosman, part number 1700-140. Do you happen to know how much shorter is a 66 tube than a 2100/2200 tube? I have a 66 that needs seals, but I can't warm up to the plastic receiver and I don't shoot much 177 at all. I only paid $10 for it so a short carbine might be a better use for it. I've always drooled over the Mannlicher-Schoennher carbines, yours looks just like one. Maybe I'll finally have one without going into debt! Also, what stock is that? Thanks, Van 19
