That was an impressive test. If I estimate correctly, the Hobby and the yellow Vogels make a hole about 3 pellet diameters across. That makes the hole go across two scoring rings. The green Vogels at 4.5 mm appear to have the same potential but with lower probability, and the 4.49 mm are TIGHT. With...

Wow. Lots of possibly conflicting information here. Just to try and help Steve, perhaps we can sort things out. It seems possible that: 1. Taking firearms into Mexico is essentially a no-no. 2.

Am I right in noticing that nealjguns no longer carries Vitarbo grips? I am really in need of a new AP grip, but am in no condition to put down $200 or more. Any ideas? Also, I'd like advice about changing my login. "theliberal" isn't any fun, and I'd prefer to just use my name. Just start...

By law you are allowed one set of "sporting equipment", and this applies to air guns. Try to have the instructions or a catalogue or something in case you need to 'prove' that it's an air gun. If you can read Spanish, check out the website "Foros en la mira", an online forum of s...
