Rites of Spring Jimmy, I am SO glad that you took part in the Rites of Spring on the Holy waters of Laurel Creek! Not to even mention that you did so with a Geezer! :wink: Thanks too for the great pics. It is right and just that such a religious experience should be supported by a church...

OK---that does it! You've posed as a Texan so long that you've now revealed yourself! Any true Texan has a genetically implanted knowledge of the ambrosial Chili Pie. :?

I wish I'd thought while you were here recently to put that piece of driftwood in your hands and watch your face to see if you too could 'feel' the history it contains. Ah well---were it not for hindsight I'd have little vision at all. :? To tell the truth I don't really think I'm a very...

Adventuring in Comanche country Thanks for the pics and write-up Ron! I was there with you in spirit if not in body! I think a little bit of that river runs through my veins. Once you get it in your blood then you're hooked as surely as if it were heroin. If I read the other thread right you...

Happy Day! Sure glad to see you doing your own reportage girl! :D You've been on the minds of a lot of us and it's rewarding to have you visit 'in person'! Hugz, Tom @ Buzzard Bluff

Good stuff Jack! Chain lubes are an entire subject to themselves but yours' sounds good. The only thing I'd add to improve it would be powdered Molybdenum Disulphide (sp!) The lubricity of Moly embarrasses petroleum based lubricants. I use Moly on the internals of airguns where I can't...

Jim wrote: <Maybe I should put my memories down on paper sometime> Sure wish you would. And put me at the top of the recipients list! While on the subject let me recommend Deans' '75 Years of Crosman' history. He may be off on some details (that you could correct!) but it's still THE...

I just sent the following as part of a private post to a member. It dawned on me after editing that it might well serve to educate someone who visits this board on the proper care of the classic American multi-pump pnuematic airgun that many of us have hiding in closet or shop. So here it...

I strongly deny the central allegation! I'm not an admirer of horses---unless prepared by a good chef.

Thanks Chuck---you're not far off the mark about me and computers. And these wood-fired Ozark models are a little slow too. :lol:

Brief alert to those who enjoy punching holes in paper with airguns. If Winter has you down and you need something to keep you semi-sane for a few more months before warm weather returns. If you need to relieve frustration and the indoor blahs, if your wife keeps looking at you with...

Nevertheless, the point holds: <If you haven't read Graves in all his perspectives you are yet shy a few points in 'Texasness'.>

TX River Rat: "Goodbye to a River" by John Graves was utterly seminal in popularizing canoeing in Texas in the '60s & '70s of the past century. John was one of the Texas authors who was honored with a J. Frank Dobie Fellowship (a subsidized year alone at the Dobie ranch and home to think...

Hope this one hasn't been posted before-------------------- **************************************************************** A young farm lad from North Iowa goes off to college, but about 1/3 of the way through the semester, he has foolishly squandered away all of the money his parents gave...

And you can even believe our fish stories! Actually that's a prerequisite if we are expected to believe yours. You may at some point be honored by an invitation to join the committee that is researching why fish grow faster after being removed from the water.

Grandpa's Benji The Delphi Oracle sez------ Since I'm a heck of a lot more familiar with Crosmans than Benjamins I had to resort to the definitive work on Benjamins by Dean Fletcher, 'The St. Louis and Benjamin Air Rifles Cos.'. A somewhat cursory examination indicates that the 132 first...

Thank GOD! Welcome JC and Thank GOD you've arrived! I've been posing as the airgun 'expert' and I'm dancing on the head of a pin to fake it! You're in DEEP Ca-Ca from henceforth with the airgun questions. :wink: If you were with Crosman 20 years prior to 1985 you may have some familiarity...

No great value (the vast majority of Crosmans trade for $100, or MUCH less depending on model and condition) in old Crosmans to date tho the very earliest and a few of the rarer later models command a small premium. Is it salvageable? More than likely. Is it economically salvageable...

SPRING-PISTON AIRGUNS trr wrote: <why is a spring gun harder to shoot> Sorry trr---the 'notify of reply' feature on the board isn't working. :? Spring-powered airguns have a unique recoil pattern that must be accounted for and catered to by duplicating the exact same hold, pressure...
