Hi, some airguns that let me shoot during the winter in the basement fairly noise free, .22 & .177.

Regards,
Richard

Hi Mick, those 2240 have an accuracy so good that one can shoot out the eyes of a fly at 50ft. Many the days that I sit on my deck and nail flies in my yard with the 2240s.

Regards,
Richard

It's something that's been high on my acquisition list for far too long. The price of the gun is very affordable, it's the extra goodies that I'd like that kind of pile on the cost. I bought $150 worth of cigars for my birthday today....I wonder if I could slip a 2240 in the mix and not get caught?

Hi, the Pedersoli Screw Barrel kit. The steel parts were nitre blued.

Nice, Richard. Are they slow to load? My guess would be no...

Hi, a comparison of the Pedersoli screw barrel to a Leech & Rigdon (same size as 1851 Colt).

Yes, the screw barrel is very fast to load and doesn't foul easily.

Regards,
Richard

Hi, my 11oz daily carry gun that disappears in a front pocket, the S&W 337 with Crimson Trace laser grips.

I like that! Does NY have a CCW requirement, Richard?
