DITTO! And forced to buy products of brands other than what is requested. The other brand is not the same due to higher cost, poor service, not as suitable and etc.

And now there's talk of doing our own fundraising banquet and etc instead of dealing with big brother NRA and their "infinite wisdom". Not sure yet where this will go.

Ditto what jhmartin said!!!!!!!!!!! What is now the parent organization of the jr team I coach was one of the offenders. They got a grant in 2002. Spent the money as specified but never did a final report. I and the current board of directors were not aware until we were denied payment on a new gran...

Should make a hole in cardboard at 5 meters although sometimes they stick in the cardboard. Many possible causes. Make sure bb is seating all the way. If not, clean shot tube. Try putting a bb in and letting it go down. Then turn gun muzzle down. If the bb falls out then it didn't go down all the wa...

We have a saying here in the south that I think is appropriate here in this thread. The saying is used just before doing some foolish and frequently chemically (alcohol) induced action. It's known as "famous last words". Before filling an airgun with compressed oxygen, please yell loudly -...

To answer the question: NO! ABSOLUTELY NOT! NEVER! TREMENDOUS RISK OF EXPLOSION. Pure oxygen, under pressure, when exposed to oil or other flammable material will spontaneously combust. Nitrogen will work and is readily available from welding supply. Most tanks will require a regulator and special f...

A little different here in AL. A few years ago I was going home from junior team practice when an officer decided to explain the finer points of how far a ladder can legally extend behind the truck. He asked if I had anything to use for a flag. I had caution tape in the back so I turned to get it. R...

The Savage "plastic" stock is pretty awful. It's not rigid, has no accessory rail and the comb is way too low for the target sights installed. However, for our boy scout program it is cost effective and not easily damaged. I plan to change the stocks for our junior 3P smallbore team. I'd b...

Records aren't required for in-state private sale of firearms in Alabama, however, it is always a good idea to protect yourself whether you are the buyer or seller.

I heard that CMP pulled out of the 3P Air Rifle event due to block time bein used instead of the usual 30/40/30 minutes.

Can anybody confirm this?

Usage?

I suggest the following: 1. Is gas coming past the valve and out the barrel? If so, that is generally a Daisy problem. I have had limited success cleaning the valve. Worth a try. The valve in the receiver can not easily be replaced. 2. Is the co2 cylinder filled properly. The ONLY way to know is to ...

"Magazine well and palmrest" for Savage II FVT - please send pics! And, where can I get some for our junior club rifles??????

I agree on not changing directions on the cylinder with out removing completely. It will generally damage the o-ring. It's a pain when one gets stuck in the gun! The o-ring is a standard o-ring used on paintball CO2 cylinders and is generally available at Wally World or any place that sells paintbal...

I don't think you will hurt any thing either way, however, you can save on CO2 by loosening the cylinder and cycling the bolt. Or just use an empy cylinder. Definately best to have a cylinder in place to duplicate the guns normal weight characteristics, but, you can unscrew it a bit and it won't dis...

And, if you aren't comfortable drilling the trigger guard for the 853 trigger tune just buy the 753/888/887 part from Daisy that already has the tapped hole.

And while you are at the polls voting out those pols, please recall the ones sent from out there to Washington!

Thanks.

I'll "second" Quest1's reply. Look in the phone book for industrial safety supplies. You can buy them by the carton for way less than wallyworld or other retailer. In our area we get glasses as good or better than other retailers for under $2. If you ask, they should be able to get you gla...

Federal IRS agents and state sales tax are two different. In Alabama the tax rate various by county and municipality. The rate is so varied it is a nightmare to keep straight. Many of us shop in the county outside the city limits where the tax rate is considerably less. The rate is based on where th...

On our grant, the equipment will cost $700 more going through the NRA store than it would purchasing in the usual manner. This due to higher prices and sales tax. We don't usually pay sales tax on mail order items purchased out of state. Plus they are charging us 9% tax even though the tax in my are...
