What airgun related did you do today?

[airgunaut]

FYI... When are thinking of selling a vintage pistol.. don't shoot it first.
H9A.. at 5 pumps is a beautiful pop can killer at 10 yards off hand.

 Yep! Same thing goes for guns, guitars, cars, etc. etc. 

 Then there is the inevitable sense of regret after.

Good thing I feel none whatsoever even when I sell them cheap.

Well, I always sell them cheap, my toys, or give them away.

I dunno but it becomes a burden to me when I have something I no longer want to keep.

Exactly how I feel. I still have vintage, high-end bicycles plus associated gear, specialized tools, spare parts. Also excellent old cameras and darkroom doodads and some kayaking accessories in perfect condition. They take space and are not being used. The catch is I would only want them to go to owners who'd value them. No flippers gloating over getting stuff free/ultracheap and then selling them to anyone with a few bucks.

At some point, they just have to go.

I've sold some very nice rimfire stuff (the KIDD kind) so cheap to my acquaintances because I felt I already had too much and that made me feel relieved.

No feeling of remorse or hesitation at all, no ma'am.

Same as you, I take extra care of my wares you'd think they're brand new

I have a very loyal buyer, a range officer, who always asks me if there is anything for disposal 😁

I'd like it if I could dispose of my cool stuff to someone who appreciates and values how nice this stuff really is.   But I have more stuff than time so I'm getting used to selling it to whoever buys it.   I had a table at a gun show yesterday and I know some people who bought my stuff were dealers who immediately put my stuff on their table for a higher price.  I'm not too willing to hang onto this stuff looking for the perfect appreciative buyer or a top dollar buyer.  I gotta calculate how much time I have vs how much hobby/toy money I'll need vs how much stuff I gotta get rid of.

Indeed, sometimes we really don’t have the luxury to be choosy.

If I know them well, I even offer 2 payments..it really doesn’t bother me, and yes, I’ve done it a couple of times 👍

 I have run out of tinkering projects.

 I handed Umarex Canex #3 in my collection to my step dad, before I got too attached to it.    They have been having  a starling issue, and this is the prefect tool to have for the distance from the feeder to the garage.

Seems like a problem that could be easily cured.    I can't imagine running out of tinkering projects in my lifetime.    It's not just because I have a lot of projects, I'm also inefficient and slow.

"I have run out of tinkering projects.  "

I'll send my Gamo Hornet right over.

Well, I look for air guns at yard sales, the abused, the broken, the unwanted.
   

[A.K.A. Tommy Boy]

I bought the last 2 tins of the old style.177 caliber Crosman 7.4 grain pointed pellets at Walmart yesterday.
Those are what the Stoeger likes to shoot the best.
The new style are all 7.6 grain and I haven't tried them out yet.
I also picked up a package of Birchwood Casey shoot and see stick on targets.

I swapped out a different scope mount on my 357 armada , then I topped off some slow leakers hoping maybe this fill would solve the leak lol. Then I pulled a scope off my 30 challenger and put on the new veyron 3x12 . I'm not sure I like the scope mount set up on it just yet tbd. Only problem now is it won't fit in the case.

[splitbeing]

Explored the complex adjustment on my scoped rifle scabbard, sizing it for my two dialy pumpers and greater aesthetic simplicity.

Contemplated my arsenal in two's.

 Tinkering!!
    So, I recently got a PCP hand pump and after trying the Mrod on Co2 I put it back to air.
  I kept thinking about the Wildfire I resurrected from pieces. I had discovered the culprit that had been leaking with the former owner was the valve, the same one they use in the 1077. Only in the Wildfire they used a heavier hammer/spring on that valve.
 Converting to a new valve and lighter hammer/spring (and doing all the 1077 mods I found on YT) I can get many shots on Co2
  hmm  wonder what would happen now on air???
   Shot it empty of Co2 and pumped it up to 1000psi of air as a starting point.
  Shoots a bit louder/faster. Burned through one 12 clip and two shots of another before some tenants came home.
    Gauge has NOT moved yet.

  more to come.

[Matchstickshooter]

 Tenants remain home so snuck down to the back lawn.
 Aiming at a can, went through remaining 10 shots on clip, and then 2 more clips.
With the lighter hammer/spring FPS may not be up to what they claimed early on (800 FPS?)
but it goes through steel bean cans.
  Gauge sank down to about 5oo psi and I ran out of ammo. I had started at 1000.
 Got back, pumped it back up (about 1200)
 No leaks thus far.
