For the love of carbines

Y’all remember Crocodile Dundee ? “That’s not a knife, this is a knife” well here’s my version “that’s not a carbine, this is a carbine”

Under weigh. I think you are under weigh/ way as soon as you are free of the dock, lines detached or the anchor
 Is free of the bottom  Anchor away ie weighing on the vessel. You don' need to be moving or have power on.
Finickety but interesting to blokelike me.

Anyway what I really looked up this thrread fpr was to say thatcarbines make sense with springers regarding Cardew's assertion that 11 or so inches is optimum lenght for a springer barrel  cocking leverage and iron sight length can complicate lenght that.

Ah the King's English versus good ol' Merican English!  We could split hairs forever!

Eleven inches is just sufficient cocking leverage for a 15 FPE break barrel.  It's stout and not particularly pleasant to cock. I added a faux moderator made from PVC pipe and duct tape that makes it a bit easier on my cocking hand.  But it's handy enough to load and shoot from a canoe.  I can toss the cheap Crosman Fire into the bottom of the canoe and let it slop around in an inch of water sometimes.  I tie it to a thwart with a long piece of paracord.  That way it won't get lost if I flip the boat. I've experimented and long air guns just don't work in small boats.

... unless you lose your paddle.

Is that why they invented plastic handles on airguns?

[Blowpipe Sam]

Well the Crosman Fire makes a pretty sorry paddle.

I wouldn’t want either of these to slop around in the bilge but they are super handy squirrel guns for hunting the thickets.

LOL !

While I love the Leshiy... then it comes to the definition of a carbine (btw for me the Leshyi is a carbine).

"For the most part, a rifle with a barrel shorter than 20 inches can be called a carbine. If the barrel length is less than 16 inches, it is also a short-barreled rifle (SBR) and is regulated by the National Firearms Act (NFA)."

Nice 140/1400s, they're one of my favorites, possibly Crosmans best pumper. Cool guns

🤷‍♂️it’s a carbine in training

[Back_Roads]

 SBR is a class of their own, especially if they still fit in a holster.

[avator]

That still cracks me up that your gun has it's own car seat.

Safety first!

Dem aren't carbines...pistols

[Mzq284]

Here's a couple fun guns. I swapped out the 18 inch barrel of the 2240 for a 14.5 so it will fit the Drifter case. I haven’t tried it yet, but I think I can get them both in the case at the same. The 2240 grip frame has the hole for the stock pin so it's getting one of those.
The Drifter is getting an older type forend and the pair will be getting a rattle can camo job on the stocks and suppressors,  I'll post pics when they're done.

[Paul Be Careful]

Couldn’t agree more! Carbines hit that sweet spot, don’t they? HW97K ticks all my boxes.

[Motorhead]

24" folded up. very compact when open.  22 shot mag, 70 shot on a fill.
