I am getting into air-gunning mainly because of the gun laws here in HI. I have a Crossman Storm XT and a Crossman 1088 with feed problems. I want my next guns to be blow-back for more "real" handgun training. I also want a Daisy Red Rider just to scare the cats off the property and a little bit of nostalgia. I would say that I am more of a budget gunner than a competition shooter or modifier.

Cheap is good - you can do a lot with what you already have.

Thanks for your service. Quote: I would say that I am more of a budget gunner I like this...reminds me of me. I like to gun on the cheap. You can see from my list of air guns that I haven't spend more than $100 on any of my shooters.

Remove the magnets from the rotary mag and don't use BB's Just pop out the litte grey cover on the mag to expose the magnet... _________________ Say "NO" to BB Gun Wars...

Like a totally different gun....I had to sell it because I just NEVER could be consistent with the "artillery hold"..but not the gun's fault !! Good hard shooter _________________ HEY !!

Another (buried) post said to grease the internals. As I don't have any grease at the time, the magnet trick will be next.   Posted: Fri Feb 25, 2011 1:35 pm yourdaddyjoe Supporting Member Joined: 26 May 2008 Posts: 4027 Location: Tatorville, USA I picked that trick up on another forum.... works for me and my little indoor shooter... _________________ Say "NO" to BB Gun Wars...

Does the condition of the skirt matter that much? If so, is there anything I can do to condition the skirt as I am loading the mag?   Posted: Fri Feb 25, 2011 2:19 pm yourdaddyjoe Supporting Member Joined: 26 May 2008 Posts: 4027 Location: Tatorville, USA Just make sure the pellets are tight & flush in the mag. Lose ones will jamb up the gun. A pellet seating tool will help expand the skirt in the mag. _________________ Say "NO" to BB Gun Wars...
