Hey the whole lotta lead special is on. Premier heavies for $14. Lights
$12.50 and .22's and .20's for 12.25. Time to stock up.
I forgot to mention it wants to be shot about 15 times to get a full
fill and the refills max of ten shots to allow intake of proper amount.
I'd say go for about 2,75oz Max and you won't have to worry about lock

You read my mind. I was just thinking about all the guns that had CO2 in
the grip already. That looks pretty easy actually. Lets give it a go.
Yours will be the prototype. The adapter may be able to be retained or
converted to Tank easily. I'll bear the cost of R&D and tooling per
usual but you have to pay for the part. Should be pretty easy.
Especially if we can tap into what is there somehow.
 You'll get me into this in spite of my self. And then I'll have to buy
an LD which is still on my short list.
That's the plan.

If you add the $500 insurance, it gets worse: With UPS, you'd have to
buy $400 of insurance at .35/$100, With USPS, you'd buy $500 at .75/$50.

Larry,
    The whole system went down yesterday.  In fact I was in the middle of
downloading your post and the whole thing gave me a forbidden access.  I
thought, oh oh, LD's really done it this time!  Then I reloaded the page from
scratch and it was OK for about 2 minutes and then it went down the same way
on
a completly different thread.
    I think it was the system or the anounced upgrade maybe.  They were
working
on getting that up and had to delay it for some reason.  Bugs maybe?

I have a Gamo cf 20 and a model 34 both are good in their way but I do
not care for the recoil in the 34 or twang in the Gamo. Can anyone
suggest another gun? BSA SS? I was not very impressed with a model 54 I
borrowed, the lack of recoil was great but I couldn't get it to group
very well. Mind you I shoot left handed which may have been the problem
with the 54.
I enjoy informal silhouette shooting
Any help would be appreciated.

Sheridan blue streak or silver streak and then have Tim at Mac-1 play
with it a little (if it the current generation). I found a like new C
series with peep sight a while back and have been quite pleased with it.
The lack of recoil is quite nice.

<< Hey the whole lotta lead special is on. Premier heavies for $14. Lights

 I forgot to mention it wants to be shot about 15 times to get a full
 fill and the refills max of ten shots to allow intake of proper amount.
 I'd say go for about 2,75oz Max and you won't have to worry about lock
 up >>
I think will take you up on the lead special, I need to stock up. How much do
I need to order to get free shipping?
Got a 3.2 oz (90.7 gm) charge, think 8 powerlets guys, on the QB77 and with
that was able to get 290 full power shots. This was at 70deg ambient. Damn, I
was really hoping for 300 shots;-) With the thumbhole stock this is just
bout
the perfect short range plinker/target gun IMHO.  And what's great with this
setup is that the QB77 the 300 shot target gun and the QB22 50 shot monster
gun both,of course, fit the same stock. So, here's the idea. One really good
stock (20 year old Oregon Myrtle wood in this case) and  various 160/167
actions tuned for the particular job in mind, changed in and out as needed.
Practice in the basement with the 300 shot action and then change in the high
powered action for a little field work.
Neat stuff, so for anyone lamenting, like myself, the demise of the famed
Crosman model 160, fear not! The highpoint in Crosman airguns is alive and
well at MAC-1. Not only is it roll your own, pick your caliber, choose the
tuneup, but the best thing is that its roll me over and over and over. Get a
super custom all deluxe stock made up to fit the 160 action and start your
rolling.

You know, it usually helps to read the subject of a posting before

Shilouette. I think the Sheridan is a great hunting & plinking gun with
the peep sight due to its lack of recoil and light weight. Scope mounting
is a little problematic because the scope usually ends up where you need
to put your hand in order to pump the gun.

just like to add that although one could argue that gun control and other
such related discussion is important and should be exhausted to the fullest
extent, I personally was lead to believe that the fun of owning, shooting

....maybe I was wrong?  Would someone like to redefine the mission of this

Re-define?  What did you assume the original "Mission"
was ... care to "define" it?
I don't 'member no "mission", and now its going to be "re-defined?
 We talk about airguns and airgun related stuff!
Theres no "Mission" 'sfar as I know!  This is an extension
of a shooting-related hobby, no reason to not discuss threats
to the hobby of shooting and airgunning in a constructive manner.
You just want to hear the nicey, nicey, stuff like hi-velocity, 5mm, bc,
ctc, dead-calm springun, super-lube, Walmart closeout bargains!
Well, theres serious stuff too!  Are YOU a member of the NRA?
So theres breadth to the topic ....
