I'm not new to airguns, just to this site ... and glad to be here.
Looking forward to "picking brains" ... and perhaps making a few new friends.
I have several airguns but, I just recently picked up a new 850 in 22 cal. I'm starting out with CO2 and will be moving up to HPA. I love modifying stuff and I have a small Craftsman 109 lathe ... I used to be a machinist in my younger years and still love machining.
I shot the 850 about 20 times then proceeded to tear it apart and start modding it.
Anyway ... good to be here.  |

| Hi Darth! Welcome to the forum. I was like that with my first 2240. As soon as I got it I was on the net looking for mods and I found a bunch of sites which eventually in a roundabout way brought me here. It's a good forum though. Just don't expect any answers right away. SOmetimes it can take a day or two for somebody to log on that knows the answer. THe main gurus are pretty good at answering you back within a couple of days. Don't hesitate to checkout the main page too. There is TONS of info on it. Just out of curiosity is an 850 a hammerli? I'm mostly crosman myself so I don't know much about anything else. I know a lot about crosman springers and CO2 though. Have a good one! |

Yep ... It's a Hammerli 850 in 22 cal. This is the first one I bought and I love it. I'm also somewhat familiar with the 13XX and 22XX guns. I built a 11.3 FPE CO2 powered 2240 a couple years back.
This Hammerli is soooo easy to work on compared to the springers and Crosmans I've played with in the past. I love it ...
I'm starting out with CO2 and see what I can get out out that ... and then move to HPA ... which I've not done as of yet (HPA that is). |
