current arsenal:

>Crosman 1377 (broken, probably a valve lock)
>1950's Diana mod. 23
>Hatsan mod. 95 in .177
>Some old Relum break barrel in .177 that usually can't even clear the barrel
>Record lp 2 pistol

desu it would be a pretty neat little lineup if everything worked. Think I'm gonna fix them up, and I bought the 1377 to turn it into a nice silent, compact carbine with some gmac custom parts.

why the fuck does it say "desu" in that last line of my post?

>>34643624
Because you typed "t b h" like a facebook-using nigger.

>>34643628

Beautiful air rifle OP.

Pic related is mine, brazilian side by side 20ga. Pretty much an air rifle.

Just ordered this a couple days ago, it's more accurate than I thought it would be. Had the option of .177 or .22, went with .22. Has a tiny bit of surface rust I'll be taking care of tonight.

As a bong on the long road to real guns I'm pretty happy with mine, 1"-2" groups at 25 yards so far.

Wait hold on

What is the cheapest I can kill a groundhogs with without making it suffer too much?

I hate the fucking thing for digging through trash and eating my garden but just want it dead.

>>34646332
Depends on what range you're going to be shooting at them from. Anything up to 50yrds you could easily pick off with a cheap break barrel. $150-$200 will be more than enough.

>>34645276
What gun is this?

>>34645572
Thanks man!
>>34646818
It's a Xisico B5. I've seen them labeled as the BAM B3-1 as well but mine's called a B5 for some reason.

>>34646417
Probably within 10 yards, the thing has no fear despite me throwing rocks at it

>>34646979
Well I mean rocks are ultimately cheaper but if they're that close then just find any, co2 or spring will be fine that close, get a .22 though they've got better take down power with small game.

>>34646887
Thanks bro

>>34647027
Any tips for used ones? Probably not going to shoot it unless for pest control.

>>34647109
If you're going down the 2nd hand route the easiest things to check for are things like barrel lock up, if it's a break action that is, make sure that's all tight, make sure seals aren't trashed and see if you can test shoot the rifle, listen out for a "honk" noise, meaning the piston is dry and needs lubing (which isn't difficult anyway but still). With co2's just listen out for leaks with a cartridge in, that's about it. Most stores will have a used section anyway and, if it's a half respectable place they'll of check it all over before hand anyway.
