Those RWS 48 rifles are very powerful but the mainsprings break quite often. They still shoot but power drops off. A section of about 3 to 5 coils breaks off one end of the mainspring and although...

Those old Benjamin and Sheridan pump up pellet rifles were well made, and because they were they are worth having resealed if you can find a GOOD airgun smith with correct seal replacement parts. If...

Don't know how relative it is but 30 Golds and 30 Bergers shot great out of my 9" twist 17 Ackley Hornet with 4198 powder.

Ruger 77/357 & 77/44 barrel threads??
Anyone know what the threads and shank specs are? Thx. Dreaming about a few tinkering projects: heavy match grade 44 mag barrel, maybe a 357 B&D, etc.
Dreaming is cheap, doing costs a lot more....
