What airgun related did you do today?

[bReTt]

Thinking about who I should leave my pretty significant airgun collection to in my will. None of my family would want them or know what to do with them.

There's a local fish and game club that's my first choice, so far. I've had bad luck giving friends airguns to try to get them involved in the hobby; as far as I know, all but one of them has used them irresponsibly, despite me telling them specifically how to handle and use them. The one possible exception is a powder-burner guy who has experience with firearms, but I've lost contact with him, so I'm not sure the even he is being responsible with the Ruger Blackhawk and P17 that I gave him.

Only serious suggestions please.

Thanks,

I’m sure there are plenty of volunteers here that would be willing to help you out. 😆👊🏼

Boy scouts,  your local NRA chapter,  a youth camp.

My collection is to be sold at auction along with my PB's so the memsahib can throw a huge Irish wake in my honor.

[Hoosier Daddy]

Spent a while at the pot casting some .457 for the Texan. 
  Got 80+ beauties.
Sure is easier when the temps are above freezing in the garage!!!

I finished the rebuild on a Daisy 1894.
Not as bad as I had feared, but not a repair that I want to do regularly.

[Ronfiveo]

I spent a lot of the day working on the finish on the 853.
Applying, waiting, sanding, applying, waiting, sanding, applying....... etc.

It's really starting to look really nice. I hope to finish it up tomorrow.

[Hoosier Daddy]

You are a better man than I for preserving the natural tone. I would have had to stain it and ruined make it unique

[Hoosier Daddy]

Just out of curiosity I took my castings to the scale.
Oh my... 28 lbs of .457 slugs. That does not include the boxes of store bought slugs...nor the 50 lbs of pure lead I still have in ingots.

[Back_Roads]

 I did an optics swap, Put a scope on my 362 #sn 760, And put a reflex sight on the 1322 SBR that I robbed the scope from.

 Also stuffed this inflatable bouncy saddle deer with rubber mulch nuggets,  3D shoot anyone

[Ronfiveo]

I shot a video of the progress on the refinishing of the Daisy 853.
I haven't even buffed it yet.

I think it's starting to look pretty good.

After fighting with my new Ender 3 V3 SE 3D printer for a couple days, I finally got it working right, found the right firmware and found the right SD card slot on the thing, and got it printing, Wow it's fast, I printed up 4 AV Avenger Baffles from thingyverse, they work great, knocked down the report a good deal, I have to find my db meter, it's somewhere in here, oh well, I'm sending 2 to my friend Bill for his Avengers and keeping the others for me,  now to make some other things

I bought some dinosaurs from the Dollar Store for reactive targets and they're a lot of fun 😀

[Ronfiveo]

Great targets, Wes.

[Blowpipe Sam]

I’m a park ranger and my supply of plastic dinosaurs comes from our beach and playground area.  Lots of Happy Meal prizes too.

I spent several hours chronograph testing a number of guns and a great variety of pellets.  I have pages of data to go over. 
Today I shot the Crosman first model 1400, 2200, and my weird ProwlFire hybrid.  Most groups were meh.  A few pellets stood out.  The 2200 is the first gun I’ve tested in which my ancient Benjamin round balls will produce something approximating a group. Five shots grouped 2” at 20 yards with three in one hole.

I prefer .22 caliber guns because I hunt with my air rifles. The ProwlFire is just a .177 but it cranks out more than 15  fpe and better than 900 fps with H&N FTT. I’ve killed a couple of squirrels with it pesting and it can do the job.  Thinking about moving it up one tier and including it in my hunting guns.

[Ike the GSD]

Great targets, Wes.

Ron

Thanks Ron, they were only a buck a piece I couldn't resist LOL  They're pretty durable, they're made out of some kind of hard rubber👍

 Old stuffed animals make fun targets also, the fluffy stuffing really flys out of them.

I just happened to have the NoDoze leaning against a cedar trunk in the living room and bumped it. It didn't go all the way to the floor but it did wack the sub woofer pretty good. I had it out after I finished working on the North range setup and POI was all over the place. I thought I messed up the scope. I looked around and came up with a scope to replace it with but when I started to remove the scope I found the threads had stripped out of one of the aluminum rings. The scope was loose. So I found a set of rings and replaced them.
All is good now.

Good looking are those the 340 Lyman mold?

Until it's time to pick up all of the stuffing blowing around your yard😉
