I was just looking around on CL and came across these two so I figured I would rescue them . I got a Turkish Winchester 800xx like my Dad's and a Remington Airmaster77 for only $45.00! I'll clean them up and post some new pics this weekend.

Way to go Ernesto. (Craigs list is sort of lame for airguns around where I live. Nothing interesting or old that is...just 2 years old used stuff that walmart or scheel's carries.) |

Cl sucks here too for airguns. Not much of an airgun scene in Miami. There is always overpriced airgun crap for sale. I just happened to get lucky on this one. They had been posted for almost three weeks!

Hopefully it will stop raining the next two days so I can get them cleaned up, shoot them, and take some pics! Got a scope and solid mount coming in the mail soon

Same here. When I got time, it's raining. I got some new 115 gr 9mm lead round nose cast bullets to try in the rsterne custom DD9. I want to test velocity, accuracy, and simulated ballistic gelatin performance and make a youtube video.
Looking forward to your pictures.

I got these puppies all cleaned up yesterday. They turned out great I think. Used Remoil on the steel and wood polish on the wood. I also polished the barrel of the Remington. They both shoot great. The Winchester needs the windage dial and the Remington needs the elevation sight, no big deal. I was surprised how accurate the Remington was even with the cheap Destroyers. I really like this gun. Got a couple of cheap scopes coming for them. Here are some new pics.

The Remington gets a new scope mounted! It's an NCstar 3-9X40 non AO scope with see-thru rings. I can still use the iron sights. Here's a quick pic.

Thanks toad! I inherited the camera from my wife since she got a proffesional one now. It's a small point and shoot camera from Nikon. Coolpix I think it's called. |

The Winchester is now scoped! Put my Tasco 2-7X32 AO on her with a UTG solid mount. Here's a pic.

Thought I would share some pics of the finished Winchester. Boy I've been busy! Enough playing around with these things, now it's time to shoot them!
