Whoops, brainfart again!
I messed up on the dates for those arign matches ... for all you that might
be going to the CASA matches, the Silhouette matches are held the first
Sunday of the month at LASC, while the Field Target matches are held the
Third Saturday at Prado, and the 4th Sunday at LASC.  Additionally, Shadtree
Shooters have their Silhouette Match the 4th Saturday of each month at LASC
as well.  The Pumpgun match IS on the Sunday of May third as previously
noted.
Please save this one, I think its correct?

I concur.  I for one, wish to promote Jim Henry's list both domestically
and internationally.  A significant amount of the airguns we use are
manufactured and used extensively abroad.  There's a wealth of information
and resource out there if we encourage participation from others.  We get
so wrapped up in defending our favorites sometimes that we forget this.
Good things happen when you post courteous and informative airgun chat.
For example, I just got in the mail last week from a fellow in The
Netherlands, a copy of a past issue of VISIER, with extensive testing of
the RX-1.  It's written in German, so he's taken the time to write some
interpretations for me.  Last month, a fellow airgunner in Germany sent me
a tin of Barracuda (spell?)  pellets, sampling of other pellets and an RX-1
seal.  I also receive various magazines from a fellow airgunner in the UK
off and on.  Most of these UK airgunners in particular know their airguns
and can shoot it well, thanks to their 12 ft lb. limitation.
The CompuServe BB & Airgun Forum had a fair amount of participation from
many countries.  The Airgun Letter Forum is growing by leaps and bounds,
with excellent participation from other countries.  Here, in my opinion,
our discussions don't always encourage participation from folks anywhere.
It seems like we're always looking for a good fight as oppose to inviting a
healthy exchange.  I think if we're good enough to take advantage of Jim's
Henry's listing, we ought to be good enough to promote it.

When I use Oehler's Ballistic Explorer I get 0.033 using their standard G1

over
the years, as this match is limited to American-made

Benjamins
and Crosman's will be used in that order. I doubt the .177's will be

Here's the rub, high power is no problem there are plently of high powered
spring/pneu guns out there, but they are not BB guns, rather they are all
pellet guns and they aren't repeaters either.
So, if you want a BB repeater then you are looking at a CO2 gun by default.
What is interesting about the new ANIC guns is that they are BB guns (Well
made BB guns are a rarity these days) and they have the thing you seem to
ant
the most a high 500 fps rating, which as you have just noted is much higher
than most guns of this type.

Yes. I do the components in batches and trade out the wood to the new
action. Saves time on turnaround. We can't do that without your gun
being new but that's mostly what we are working on.
I have run into this problem B4. The striker spring is jumping out of
the rear housing cause it is so short. We fix this by snipping a piece
of oring about .100" long and stuffing it under the rear philliops screw
iat the action rear. That should cure the problem. That will grap the
back of the spring and disable it from jumping out of place. Call me if
this isn't clear.
Allens under the mounting screws determine how low the action sits in
the stock and how tight the sliding is. Run them in 1/4 turn at a time
until you get the proper amount of tension is the hot tip.
Of course my One year warranty will cover it. The factory two year
covers all else but we take care of our customers. No need to send it in
tho hopefully.
Later
Tim
