Gary, if that's standard performance, I don't see any need for a magnum upgrade. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------by Roose Hurro - Gary's Galleries
That... sounded frustrating. ----------------------------------------------------by Roose Hurro - Airgun Rendezvous Main Forum
That is excellent performance... I like those figures! I've thought a .32 shooting round ball at 850-875 fps would be fine, but this does even better. I'd also be interested to know if this is the "standard" or magnum version. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------by Roose Hurro - Gary's Galleries
Sounds like a fun experience... Next time, just don't forget the zombie repellent! Oh, almost forgot: Next time, go to IHOP... -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------by Roose Hurro - I'm just sayin'

Gary... Ever thought about making your own mousetraps? You know, a pneumatic tube trap, where the mouse is lured down a tube, triggers the bait, trap tilts up and POOF! blows poor mousey out the tube like one of your big chunks of lead SPLAT! against a metal plate? Then little mousey body falls into a bucket, and all you gotta do is empty the bucket and wipe off the plate, reset, and you'rby Roose Hurro - I'm just sayin'
I've looked at these. Would indeed make a nice starter rifle... ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------by Roose Hurro - Airgun Rendezvous Main Forum
Dan... Gary's right. Though you could always have him make you a brass squirrel-skull Foster's cap, for that Very Special Day when you finally have a Barnes. *grins* And Gary, I understand that. But your rifles are works of art, and I imagine many people display them. As Dan said, a bit of Bling would be a cool item. For when a Barnes is displayed, if not in the field. Though you could mby Roose Hurro - Gary's Galleries
You know, Gary, it would be interesting to offer such an option, if you don't already... with all the brass details on that gun, a brass "Foster cap" would be a neat accessory. You could even offer different styles (thinks about a "bayonette" cap, or perhaps one in the shape of a squirrel-skull). *grins* ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------by Roose Hurro - Gary's Galleries
Even with the plain and uncarved wood in that pic, the Rendezvous does look good. I also like that .25/.32 switch-barrel capability... this way, I wouldn't have to choose between .25 or .32! *wishes he had the money to get on the Ledger, when it opens again...* Oh, one thing... is there a cap for protecting the fill nipple, just in case? ----------------------------------------------------by Roose Hurro - Gary's Galleries
Hope you had a good time, Gary. Glad to see you back safe and sound.by Roose Hurro - I'm just sayin'
Well, Gary, it was a thought. At the present, my main thing would be deciding between a .25 or a .32 rifle... like you've said before, there's a big step between these two calibers. I like both the Maverick and the Appaloosa, something compact and light and handy. The .25 appeals for small game, the .32 for heavier stuff. Shoot... can't remember what you called that swaged round ball stuff, bby Roose Hurro - Airgun Rendezvous Main Forum
Well, the idea would be a pistol in .25/.32, for game from rats on up to rabbits or larger, or for plinking and popping targets. And yes, Bigbore, the Heritage, sans breechloader mechanism, would make a good muzzleloader. Though I was looking farther back, at the Alpine as a pattern, or a Bison in pistol format. From a purely looks angle, either of these would make for a very classy gun. Someby Roose Hurro - Airgun Rendezvous Main Forum
May not be cheaper, but does that really matter, so long as it's what you want? That's what I like about Gary's work... if you've got the cash, he has the talent. Of course, there are limits to time and what is possible, but I still like the idea of something different, something out of my head, made real. Even if it's a 10-20K BB pistol... *grins* -----------------------------------------by Roose Hurro - Airgun Rendezvous Main Forum
Yeah, the Hoss... But, like you said, Jim, it has a breachloading mechanism... I'd be thinking a smallbore Hoss without an open breach. Just stuff it down the muzzle, cock, aim and fire. Rotorhead, I'd have to agree, the present Hoss would be overkill on snails. Of course, it would also be overkill on squirrels and rabbits and other little edible critters. I was also thinking something likby Roose Hurro - Airgun Rendezvous Main Forum
Gary... Well, couldn't hurt to inquire... still, I can't help thinking how neat it would be. Yep, a single shot would be fine, but you already have some nice single shot pistols available, down to .25 caliber, I believe? If not BB, then a .25-.32 air revolver would fill a need. Load with six rounds, charge with air, fire six shots, reload and re-charge. Of course, that would totally vaporiby Roose Hurro - Airgun Rendezvous Main Forum
I don't know why, but I keep thinking... bigbore, heavy slugs, high power... hefty cocking effort. 'Course, with age, even lifting a finger seems to take more effort than it did in my youth. ----------------------------------------------------------------by Roose Hurro - Gary's Galleries
Have fun... --------------------by Roose Hurro - I'm just sayin'
Gary... Indeed, that is quite impressive. So, I take it this means you can determine certain factors based on performance needs? With my BB pistol idea, the thought was 225 fps, about 50 shots per fill max (with a fifty round, single-action repeater mechanism to match, preferably), in a gun that could be slung in a holster on the hip. What would the fill PSI need to be, and how large a reseby Roose Hurro - Airgun Rendezvous Main Forum
I'm a bit curious... what is the cocking effort? ---------------------------------------------------------------------by Roose Hurro - Gary's Galleries
Also sounds like a very versatile gun, despite the extra effort of set-up. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------by Roose Hurro - Gary's Galleries
Gary, I know this isn't the right thread, but... I take it this means fill pressure has no bearing on number of shots? It's simply a matter of how much air the gun carries, not the fill pressure? (Though higher pressure would seem to indicate more air shoved in a given container size.) I've just heard others here mention using fill pressure change (max/min) alone as a performance factor...by Roose Hurro - Airgun Rendezvous Main Forum
Oh, something I'm curious about, Gary... When it comes to fill pressure with a BB gun, how low could it be, with a spec of 225 fps, and how would this "minimum" fill pressure effect the number of shots? I guess I'm curious how various fill pressure specs (maximum/minimum) would effect shots per fill, given the same fps target spec, in the same gun platform. Am I right in looking at this as aby Roose Hurro - Airgun Rendezvous Main Forum
Gary... Sounds like good performance specs on that rig. Funny, but I was thinking, if I ever got a chance and the funds to place an order on the LEDGER, and if I went for a .32, this would be the specs I'd like to see. Though I'd probably go for something other than a Delta... no idea which model, since you have several of interest, and, by the time I'd most likely be able to order, you'd pby Roose Hurro - Airgun Rendezvous Main Forum
That's some pretty deep relief carving. Gary, I imagine you have an allergy to walnut, just like I have an allergy to nickel... and to anything with nickel in it. Learned that this green stuff I used to get all over my eyeglass frames was due to that allergy. Switched to titanium, and I haven't had any "green stuff" since. Also, I used to work with composites and related materials, and learneby Roose Hurro - Airgun Rendezvous Main Forum
