I’m Alan and have been addicted to airguns since the early 90s. I think it was a crosman 2250 that lit the fire and a 760 pumper that was my very first. I was on the old yellow forum all day everyday when I wasn’t shooting. I bought and tuned a bunch of the old XS airguns which got me going. I would write a lot of detailed reviews back before that was a big thing. Then I remember the bulk CO2 craze and I had a massive setup that could likely last a lifetime. My first CO2 was a QB78 which I did a lot of work to. Then I went down the crosman CO2 modding rabbit hole trying to hunt rats the way mr bulk was in Hawaii. Then I joined the army and got out of airguns. Returned and bought some old ones I always wanted like a mark 1 modded, a bulk fed custom 600, a few HWs came and went, a bsa superstar, etc. left the hobby again getting rid of everything. Got a gamo Accu out the blue from a dude on one of the forums one day not expecting much. To date it was the most accurate to power airgun I’ve had. I left it stock but in a bad situation parted ways with it but I never forgot that gamo underlever. I got back into it and there was this funny dude who claimed to own a night club who everyone on the forum constantly speculated who it was. He’d get his account deleted then get another. He had a strategy of buying several of something to get the best one so I bought a few gamos again, couldn’t find an accu (have one now) but got the CFRs. I found the one I thought had the best barrel and poured everything into it I could in customizing. Last time I went out I had finally got my 5 shot groups at half an inch at 45 yards with a measly 9fpe. Currently I only have my CFR, a stock one, an accu, an old gamo 220 I tuned and shoots smooth as butter, a really old varmint also smooth but is the one I let kids and guests shoot and don’t mind getting beat up, and a couple others I can’t remember right now that are in storage. I’m hoping to do a lot of shooting and tinkering again this summer since I’ve taken a few years off. Maybe add a few new guns to the mix, a couple classics maybe and something to be proud of like something that’s been sent to Paul shorts.
