What airgun related did you do today?

[airgunaut]

A new kind of blueing.

[bReTt]

Using painters tape, balsa wood and coins I taped up and offset the pp800r to get ready to mold Kydex around it.

Looking forward to seeing the results!

Betty Lou decided to donate her momma's desktop pc to the Castin' Shack for airgun related stuff.
I'm setting it up with Linux Virginia 21.3 with Libra Office and video editing software.

 Very nice! Look forward to seeing the finished product.
Does it take a lot of special equipment to do the molding?

Put the steel breech on my 3622. Going to get a 4x32 or something eventually but just threw an old 3-9 centerpoint on there for now. Only put a handful of shots through it but loading pellets is pretty crammed. Might have to get creative with the 3d printer to make loading a little easier

Shot 3 pests with the Notos

I thought about shooting…

Breaking down the wooden pallets I got from the welding shop for building my new backstop👍

BLOW HAVALI AIR PISTOL

Good luck finding one of these in the States.

If anyone can import them in large quantities, there's money to be made there.

I done something ridiculous again, remade a break barrel "magnum" pistol/semi-carbine. It's basically a Crosman Fire stock with the buttstock lopped off and a chopped barrel (@ 9.75") connected to a standard full power Nito Piston receiver... Impractical but fun. Already had the cut up Fire NP stock from my original build and a Shockwave with an extremely weighted stock kicking around. Won't go into too much detail as probably not much interest in such a contraption, but will say OAL is under 25" and probably makes north of 13-14fpe

I have a gerrymander setup with existing "padding" and wood clamps.  I use a Goodwill Toaster Over.  I use painter's tape and don't own any dummy/mold guns.  So for me no special equip, just stuff I have in the mancave/garage.  Pictures coming soon once I get some bench time.  Been on the road for work training lately. I had a PB that Holster's aren't made for...then I made my son one for his PB, then I made a holster for my mini-machette (aka Rambo Knife)....and here we are further down that rabbit hole...lol

 Ok, thanks for that info! Sounds like I have all the gear already lol. Might have to get some Kydex and give it a whirl.

Finally got my lawn mower running again, after 6 months, last part came in and installed, started right up and ran perfect, mowed all the tall grass that was hampering my shots, now the shooting range is clean and clear for shooting pesky critters..... 
 I love putting something back together when someone hands you a box full of parts and some of those parts are missing....

Brought 6 or 8 guns back into the house from the shop and castin' shack

[Blowpipe Sam]

Started putting all the airguns and PBs into my secure storage in anticipation of the hurricane.  If the house is still standing when we get back it will all be here.  I had a couple of buddies from the old days try to find the cache.  Both of them are experienced B and E types and they were both impressed when I showed it to them.  They said they would have to take the house apart to find it.  I took a muscle relaxer and some meloxicam about noon and by 1400 my hands were steady enough to shoot for groups.  I loosened up first as I have learned that this helps too.  I shot Some Crosman Piranhas and 16.9gr Norma GTFT as well as some 17.6gr GTFT out to 20 yards seated, unsupported.  Groups were around an inch for the 17.6gr GTFT so they were quickly discarded but the 15.9gr GTFT shot 1/2 inch with the occasional flyer.  Marginally better than the Piranhas so I think they will be my hunting pellet of choice for this gun.

Had a few shots with my Umarex Octane Elite it is still very heavy and still very hard to cock and still with a walloping recoil. Accuracy is acceptable but not riveting. Nevertheless I still like it. The added Diana 380 gram muzzle break still could do with a bit more tinkering.
Kapai.

Installed the new .177 barrel on my R9 and I just LOVE IT❤👍

[Back_Roads]

 Tested some JSB Knockout 10.01gr deep HP slugs I used my Mrod air version of the Diana Storm Rider. They matched the speeds of the 10.3gr AA pellets, and same hole accuracy @ 10m. Taking them out to 50 yards sometime today, and testing in a few of my other .177 guns.

[Iowa airguner]

I have been sick with the flu for a week. Today I got outside and set up my new Rowan side wheel on my HFT500. I have 24 yards in my back yard but really can’t shoot that because of possible damage to my neighbors brown plastic fence. But I did measure out each yard to 24 yards. Then after setting up some big shields I shot four shots into the bullseye with the scope at zero. I will finish the yardage marking later and then on to building a dope chart.
