Parts, parts and more parts...

Forgive me for my recent lapse in blog posts, I have been dealing with some health issues that have slowed me down some. So, bear with me and I will continue to post and take photos of my hobby doings when I can.

I just got my shipment of parts from Grant Stace yesterday that I have been waiting for. Let me tell you, he never disappoints with the high standard he holds himself to. These parts are top shelf eye candy and can dress up any 22XX or 13XX and make them look, feel and perform like a new gun. I took some pics of the parts I received, since it finally stopped raining here. Here is what I now have to install on my guns in the very near future. Thanks again Grant!

More updated gun pics to come with the new parts installed...

Some airgun patches I picked up

I picked up some assorted airgun patches all in brand new conditon, along with 3 Crosman belt buckles and some pins off the Yellow classifieds last week. Got a really good deal on the lot so I went for it.

A few of these are quite common and a few aren't so common. Here's a couple pictures of what I got. It's a good start to a collection of them I think. Thanks Brett!

New spinner target

The buffalo spinner target I won last week came today. Very nice target, I am really having fun with it. The Pellet Head forum had a giveaway last week on their site and I was lucky enough to win. They were giving away a Noteworthy Targets buffalo spinner airgun target.

I opened it up and took it to the backyard right away to get some plinking time in. It's quite sturdy and should last a long time considering that none of my guns are over 14 ft lbs. I used my 1740 "Raven" target gun for the shooting session. I used RWS Basics at a range of about 12 meters which is all too easy with the size of the target and the gun I'm using. This thing is a blast to shoot at! I shot at it for over an hour and stopped once my CO2 powerlet was empty. I can see myself shooting that target quite often since I had such fun. Much nicer than just shooting at cans and paper all the time!

Thanks go out to Noteworthy Targets for providing the target in the giveaway. Also thank you to Tom Krein and the guys over at Pellet Head Network. I will definitely get some use out of it guys. Here's a couple of quick pics I took of the target before and after plus the gun I used to shoot with.

Happy Shooting!
