So what did you Order / Receive today ? (to feed the "Beast" that lives within)

[Matchstickshooter]

 Received a 4/84 880 from Swamphunter  and now tinkering!

[bantam5s]

I ordered another driver handle and a couple more 2 inch extensions for my Chapman driver kit.

[Firewalker]

I got 4 Orion mags for the Maverick, 2 for the .25 and 2 for the .22.

[2A Georgia]

Found the P17 O Rings at Grainger I'll have 50 sets Wednesday so PM me if you need a set.
The Mellon Ait FTP Kit for Project 1322 is in Atlanta USPS so I should get tomorrow or by the end of the week :-)

[jackinil]

Got the Norica Dragon in .25 with a JSB variety pack of pellets. Had time for a few shots at the basement 10M target.

[sekiar]

I ordered another Crosman 2240XL and a model 1399  stock to make it into a handy carbine.  Will mount a good scope and work on the trigger to complete the project.  Charles

Tracking says the HDR 50 will be here tomorrow, and I'm starting to get excited about it. I'm kind of wishing I had ordered some paintballs for practicing rather than rubber balls. As of yet I haven't figured out what I'm going to use for a backstop for practice. I'm nervous about the rubber balls for practice shooting, and even more so about using the nylon riot balls or the sabots.

Hey, DJ, how is the HDR 50? I'm thinking about getting one but I haven't seen much about them around here.

Hey, DJ, how is the HDR 50? I'm thinking about getting one but I haven't seen much about them around here.

It shoots pretty well with nylon riot balls or the plastic sabot steel balls. The pepper balls are expensive for tests, but I do want to see how one or two hit before my partner carries the gun loaded with them. Beyond less than lethal personal defense use, I think it is a fun novelty. My 11j version is a gas hog at 22 shots per fill.

If the sabot ammo was cheaper I would enjoy using it for plinking/recreational shooting. Unfortunately they are not very accurate after recovering them, even from cardboard or old clothes. The rubber balls did not seem very accurate, but they are environmentally friendly and reusable if you can recover them. More accuracy testing is needed. I have found riot balls as cheap as $0.10/each, but at those prices a rimfire pistol is looking more economical for fun semi-auto plinking.

The sights are not adjustable, so that could be part of my accuracy problems. I have very little experience with pistols and not sure what to expect for precision in iron sights. That being said, as a defensive weapon they are sufficient. For more precise plinking I think any pistol red dot or laser pointer would improve things.

If you want one just for the novelty, get the less powerful version.

Interesting.  Very nice group for out of the box sir!

Received the mini target from shooting target 7, taking a break from the jungle and spend time with the airguns and cast some ammo for them.

Thank you for all the details, it is what I was looking for. YT has lots and lots of videos but I much rather hear from the folks I can trust, the folks here. If I may ask, where did you get yours from? Thank you.

That's the 11j version that I have, you could save $50-ish if you go with the less powerful variant.

I had to order my 3rd Chapman case, hopefully it's the last one I need.


I've only got the 4 racks worth of bits that I use , but it's the drive tools that get me.
I like having a handle for every bit I'm using ( often as many as 4 at a time ) so I don't have to be swapping between them,  and they take up a lot of space.
With this case I can take all the racks out ( it only includes 7 ) except the 4 full of bits and the rest is open space for all my extensions and drive tools

Today I ordered a Crosman 1322 Carbine and can't wait for it to arrive.  Will probably do a trigger update as well.  Will know more after testing it out.  Charles

Received two solar powered LED flood lights.
Now I can shoot 35 yards well after dark.

Where did you get those from and do they stay on all the time, no motion sensor to deal with.

Kris, I got them off Amazon
  No motion sensor but they do have a weatherproof push button switch with LOW / HIGH / OFF so they don't have to be always on when it's dark.

I keep shopping for non-replica CO2 pistols. I inevitably come back to the 2240, Chaser, and Webley Nemesis. Each have their pros and cons. The Webley is my favorite, but parts availability seems like it could be a challenge? The Chaser is what I'm familiar with, owning a PP800/Bandit, but it's the longest out of the three. If the 2240 was magazine fed this would be a much easier choice. What I really want is a brand new Crosman 600 for $200-ish, but that's never going to happen. When I look at 2240's, I inevitably browse Ebay for CR150's and MK 1's. I can't see the point in buying a new 2240 when I can get a vintage pistol for similar money that is arguably better. EDIT: looks like 150 prices have come up since I last looked a few months ago. Used to be you could get a good working pistol for less than $200... The vintage prices are going wild

The replica pistols look fun, but options are overwhelming and I don't want a blowback. I'm also not too keen on shooting 177 pellets because they are tiny and I can cast my own 22 pellets. When I order a pistol I'll also order the NOE 22 cal wadcutter mold since Wayne has good experience using that with CO2 pistols.

I'm mostly interested in punching paper, possibly as a "farm carry" gun for pests I spot while doing chores/projects. A way to mount a compact/micro red dot is a huge selling point to me as well. This is a place where the vintage options aren't as good.

Trying to find it.
 I bought them a while back at work in a 4 pack but only needed two there.
