Hello! I've had a spring piston pistol for plinking most of my life, and shot .22 rifles (firearms) in Scouts and at the Pointe-Claire Rifle Club (.22 rifles) a long time ago. Life got busy, so parked my hobby for over 20 years, but never lost interest. Now I have a place to shoot air guns again and have dusted off (and oiled!) my spring piston. Looking to buy an air rifle and work on my marksmanship.

Hi and Welcome from the Eastern Townships! Lot of knowledge and opportunities to learn (and buy!) here. What kind of spring piston pistol is yours?

Welcome engineermarko! And beware the addiction.
Hope you didn't oil the internals of your pistol. 8)

Hi all, thanks for the greetings.
I bought my pistol at an army surplus shop in England in the 80s. It's a Chinese .177 break barrel like the "Pioneer" model - no idea of the specs - something I do want to find out. Engraved with "Made in China" and the Chinese characters for "China" on the top of the barrel. Heavy metal barrel and solid bakelite-like hand grip. It's a heavy gun, but comfortable to hold and fun for short range plinking and targets. I needed to oil it to remove the surface rust.
What're you favorite air guns?

Just got the Umarex Beretta M92A1. I know about the accuracy and safety catch issues, but it is one nice gun to hold and fire!
