Back Room / Re: So....Whatcha Eating?« Last post by airgunaut on Today at 01:24:43 PM »Have any of you eaten canned smoked scallops? I saw a small rectangular tin of these at Safeway. I love fresh scallops but don’t eat them unless at the coast. Are the canned scallops good, and not mushy?

Crosman-Benjamin Air Gun Gate / 25th Anniversary 2240 ?« Last post by BerkshireHunter on Today at 01:19:48 PM »Wouldn’t that be cool? Just add nice maple grips, a brass trigger and maybe gold paint on the roll stamp where it says “2240”. Charge $90, make it unlimited production just whatever they can sell during that year...
What year did it come out, 2000 or 2001? Wishful thinking 5

Crosman-Benjamin Air Gun Gate / Re: #1402 out of 2023….« Last post by BerkshireHunter on Today at 01:15:28 PM »$240 is definitely a good price. They’re not even making it in a huge batch where you get really good economy of scale to lower the price on a modern gun with fine Turkish maple. They had to make special brass triggers, Williams Peeps, and special milled breeches to accept the sights. Both of mine are very nice and the later production one has better wood.I have 3 of the Crosman 2100 series guns that I put wood furniture on. All 3 have the 2 piece plastic ends and barrel bands on them. I don't seem to have a problem accepting that so I'm not sure why I let this one bother me so much. I guess that initial $400 price tag was just a hard pill to swallow. 7
Air Gun Gate / Re: Looking for some help to perform simple maintenance« Last post by Duckfish on Today at 01:07:15 PM »Old time solid copper penny, not one of the ones made of steel and coated with copper.
Copper is softer than steel, but harder than rust. Oil with cloth, breech seal is probably ok. Test it with the tissue test. 8

Boolit and Pellet Casting / Re: Newby on the block... well, to casting anyways.« Last post by 2A Georgia on Today at 12:42:51 PM »So wise ones, I'll state my theory and welcome responses, comments and input.
The NOE68FN is going on WTS/WTT. The $80 for the Harbor Frieght powder coat gun could go towards a bespoke mold. With the value of the NOE68FN to add to my purchase someone with a .299 (99.9% pure) or .3005 barrel these pellets would give some nice fpe. The .303 Challenger tolerates them at best. If anyone has the ability to size I have a tin of .305-.306 splotchy hand shaken HF black powder coats, might even come with a 80% bottle of HF Black and some un-coated (Pam) oiled slugs(these are offered as pay it forward). Pretty sure sizing them down the barrel would not be good for Challenger accuracy. Pretty sure I don't want to put them in the pot and "burn off the impurity" powder coating. So in theory at 847-891fps my 61.5gr HP NSAs are just barely fast enough to expand,but good for 100+fpe. Option 1 is to order the Accurate Molds 30-62A @ .303 +.002/-.000. It is not a HP but should be switchable without too mush scope adjustment. Option 2 is the 30-70A @ .303 +.002/-.000. It is not a HP and guessing would tune around 800-820fps (subsonic and no deformation). I'm thinking a 100+fpe 70gr smack should be 45ACP style knockdown power for everything Coyote and smaller. Should be adequate for veal sized Hawgs behind the ear. I said I wouldn't point the Challenger at a deer, but now I'm thinking I shoot a 70gr .223 in my MSR, While 800fps will not do for a high shoulder shot it should go through the boiler room from sub 50 yards as good as my 425fps crossbow bolt. Here in Georgia we get a week between Bow and Firearms of "Primitive" (black powder) deer season and airguns are allowed during primitive seasons. I'm thinking it be worth a week of run-n-gun with the Challenger and popup blind, if nothing else something to carry during pre-rut scouting that gives squirrels headaches out to 60 yards (if I can see that far). 10
