Paulonia Props And for those old enough to recall it the big rubber powered model airplane that were once the height of ambition to build for young boys often contained machine cut props of Paulonia in the more up-scale kits. Most such models came with balsa props but the Paulonia versions...

Air pistol Chuck dropped me a PM that someone had an airgun question. I'll take a shot at an answer, but first allow me to ask a few things and make a few observations. You hinted that the gun might spent some time in a wet bilge. Would you do that to any of your target grade guns and expect...

I'll just wait to see if there's any interest. It's only some muzzle velocities comparing a stock gun to one mildly modified and since the tests were conducted in cold weather they are somewhat suspect as definitive data. Chuck wrote: <Just joking .... beer or spirited beverages and guns do...

2240 I found a single post from 2/21/2001 in my poorly maintained archives on some of the early work. If you wanta see it send me your eddress. Tom

Toom much depends on what you do with the valve to be able to provide a definitive answer to your question.. If you dump a lot more liquid CO2 into it there's simply no getting around the need for a longer barrel to provide enough time for maximum expansion of the gas or you're just wasting it...

Chuckie's Piccy Re: the pic of Chuck on the 1st page 'lost in thought'. My bet is that he was lost in what's missing from the container in the righthand foreground. :wink: It's easy to tell by the plethora of containers in all the table pics that this float was a 'good'un'! Hairymick...

I'm very glad to see you are happy with your new purchase. And it certainly sounds like you have been doing some good shooting with it to get instant kills on Fox squirrels. But now I must become the 'Devils Advocate: Velocity alone, despite advertising hype that would make it seem so, does...

Looks like I need to drop in a bit more often-------- IP, if the pump tube screws into a rather blocky alloy casting that also houses the bolt & rear sight with the buttstock attached also then you have one of the 100 Series guns. Model 100-----.177 caliber Model 101-----.22 caliber...

Chucks 140 Chuck it's hard to tell from the pic but your Crosman 140 appears to have an aluminum breech. Is that true or have you just used it so much that it is worn shiny? If it IS a first model with aluminum breech it should also have the 'spoon handle' breech cover. If it is the 1st YEAR...

From my original answer to 'Theresa: <The very BEST thing you can do to keep that veteran cheerful into a dependable old age is get a small bottle of 'Crosman Oil' from Crosman and, either once per box of pellets or once a year, place a SINGLE drop of oil on each of the 3 pivot points in the...

Ed finally decides to take a vacation. He books himself on a Caribbean cruise and proceeds to have the time of his life --until the boat sank. He found himself swept up on the shore of an island with no other people, no supplies...nothing... only bananas and coconuts. After about four...

I hope that everyone who chooses to read the article will note that while it was released by a firearms industry group the statistics quoted are taken directly from Federal archives. Something you will not see from the Left or media. As I wrote in a PM yesterday: <The single certitude in the...

I figured out a long time ago that if you ever let Jack get one up on you that you were gonna be in deep caca from then on. :wink:

Yup, sorta like the difference between them little homemade boats you have and a real one. :lol:

Depends on the Red Ryder. BB gun collectors have a LOT less sense than even pellet gun collectors. While memory isn't too keen these days I seem to recall that model originated in 1938. Frankly there's no telling how much a NIB example would command at auction these days. Remember the Daisys...

Re: You shure do know yer guns !! Have the newer wife translate. Barely! Aha! I am happy to report that you have an early model 'C', the 'affordable' replacement for the rare (and VERY expensive) models A & B. As such it is becoming collectable. I sold a VERY nice 'hold-down safety'...

Re: Can ya helps me with sum infermashun ? Let's start by getting on the same page. You may have an old Benjamin OR you may have an old Silver Streak or you may have a Benjamin Silver Streak, in which case it can't be very old since Benjamin hasn't owned the Sheridan name long enough to...

The real problem is that fewer each generation even realize the Founding Fathers existed under the current 'teaching' system in our schools. But you do have to give credit where it's due---the teaching unions have managed to figure out how to keep hungry young minds in captivity for 12 years...
