After a little fettling I was able to get the action bedded down properly… I don’t think it was ever properly fitted or maybe it was and time moved the wood a touch. Been spending a little time finishing it.

Picked up a 1984 era Beeman R9 with a Hawke scope. It’s a bit rough… But it came with a really nice custom walnut stock

Thingyverse!

So I picked up a couple of Crosman pistols to play with. Top 2. The rest are vintage. A 1322(.22) and a 1377(.177). Got them cheapish. $100 for the pair. No issues with modding cos they are not vintage. So they broke out the 3d printer. Black Carbon Fiber PetG filament. Modded pump handle...

Thanks. Hallie was a great pup. She didn’t deserve to have such a short life, but we spared no expense to get her the best chance, until the Vet told us there was no hope. All we could do.

Over the last 6m I’ve added a bunch of rifles and pistols to the collection. I picked up a Daisy Model H that is from about 1920, and another Daisy from 1955 ish. Both will need some love. Then I was out in Phoenix and before I drove home I picked up a nice pair of vintage air pistols A...

Oh, and Happy New Year to everyone that reads my thread! I’ve been working on getting the house straight again. Drywall is 90% finished, so will be into texture and paint soon, and after that is done, I can redo the floors. The Air rifle collecting and modding has become a fun distraction...

Where did the time go! It’s been a busy 6m… not all in a good way. Had a water leak in the house in the ceiling of the ground floor. Right after, one of our dogs passed after a short illness. She was just 4 1/2 years old or so… we gave her our best, but lymphoma and maybe a heart issue forced...

That worked great!

V2 block incoming… Stretched it in both directions, but one a little more. Printing now.

Interesting! All good! Trying to get back to making stuff… Realized the Pelican case handle was exposed and likely to get hit on the luggage conveyer. So thought I’d make some stand off feet… Designed on Fusion 360… about an inch square.. Printed first iteration in carbon infused PLA… Needs...

Weird.. try Pellet rifle

Well… the proof of sorts arrived today. This book.

Now… I’m happy as a clam.., I carefully go thru the whole haul… The Daisy’s as a mixed bag… nothing super special. The Benjamin pistol is amazing.. maybe 1940s… But this Quackenbush is a whole different matter.. I’ve now figured it out. It’s a Quackenbush Model 4, .21 Caliber Ball Repeater…...

But then some more miracles came my way... Well, it was Friday the 13th...🤨 I had answered a Craigslist ad for a Daisy Model 25, a couple of days back.. It looked nice.. After the Chrome Model 25, saga, I was looking for another! Yes, he still had the Daisy 25... But it was a 120 mile round...

But my Buddy, who is American, and like many, grew up plinking Daisy's... He said the 880 was well worn, and blah... But the Model 25 was immaculate... and he was puzzled because I said he'd never seen one like it before... Model 25's were in constant production from 1914 thru like 1996.. with...

When he got home, he looked them over... said the Sheridan is near perfect, in its box, with original paperwork, and pellets... I was super happy.. A little bit of homework, and I ID'd it was a 1992 era gun... so 33 years old, but near perfect!

Thanks! Well its been quite the couple of weeks on the Airgun front... Still no sign of my Webley... Picked up this Webley Hurricane pistol, still in its box... Maybe an early 80's example, that looks to have first been sold in Canada.. Had grown to love the Pump Up Sheridan I bought in the...

Kinda want to make some grips for it… So I bought some walnut, to maybe whittle some out…😉

The Webley has not turned up yet, and I’m worried… nobody knows where it went, which is concerning… To cheer myself up, added a Beeman C1 to the mix. It’s based on the Webley Vulcan, so it’s appropriate. I also got a deal locally on a Webley Hurricane Air pistol. A childhood friend had...
