Re: This Crosman 137 was just moments away from the dumpster
Wow. Just wow. What a mess (it was). I wouldn't think it posssible to do that much damage before something gave way and saved the rest. I guess one needs to be good at it.

FWB 65: Sledge Travel Distance?
I recently got an early FWB 65. When firing a shot, the upper half barely moves rearward. I would estimate it at 1-2mm; a small fraction of available travel. Is this normal? I have never owned one before, nor shot one, nor seen one being shot, so don't know what to expect. This could be the way it i...

Re: BAA
I'm shooting my LGR off the deck rail, so I can rest it there to cock it. I had read those complaints before getting it, but I guess it's no worse than what I've been using; just different. However, if I get much more serious, I'll buy or make an offhand stand. It's knocking the pellets all over the...

Re: BAA
Since posting the above, I've checked two items off my wish list. First, I got a Walther LGR Universal. Made in 1982 per Walther. Nice rifle; I've been shooting it quite often. Finding excuses for bad shots is a strain. As a former NRA Highpower shooter who loved Offhand, its an absolute joy to shoo...

Re: BAA
The inventory of airguns I wanted as a kid has grown in the short time since I checked in above. I always thought the Walther LP53 was one of the best looking guns of any kind. Got one now. Early model, polished all over but with stamped markings, adjustable trigger. I used to have a Webley Tempest....

Re: BAA
Thanks for the welcome. I was just remembering that I bought a like-new S&W 77A air rifle a couple years ago. It was more or less a "replacement" for the 77A I dragged all over the countryside as a kid. I think I was as proud of that "new" one as any gun I've ever bought. Of course I had to turn rig...

BAA= Born Again Airgunner. That's me. I seem to be buying airguns I used to have, or used to want but couldn't afford because I was ten. The latest two are a Webley Tempest like I once owned, and a Walther LP53 I used to drool over. This forum has been an interesting and useful resource during this ...
