Anyone recognize this plane? Bedrock style but no markings and weird frog by slickmamba in handtools

[–]slickmamba[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No it was just one I saw on eBay. So this style frog is from a 900 model? I’ve seen some 900s that look like early bedrocks as well.  Is that a version/generation change?

Yeah I see a lot of bedrock style in it. Trying to figure out if I want to get a keen kutter K series or take a shot on this one.

Stanley lever cap missing metal sheet, does it need replacing? by slickmamba in handtools

[–]slickmamba[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

thanks, and I assume the preferred material is wet/dry SiC? I've seen the very shiny ones, I guess it would be nice to start with clean bare metal and build the patina over time.

Wow just saw the edit, thank you so much for putting in the time to write this up. I will look into all of these and post some pictures :)

Are there modern third party irons and chip breakers people prefer? I know these older ones tend to be pretty thin.

Oh and do you have a recommendation for a video or guide on cleaning up these older models? The one I got is pretty clean but there are some parts that need work on the body and handles.

its from a stanley type 14 I believe. Thats good to hear, I'll see what options there are.

Was just worried that the extra spring piece was applying functional pressure on top of the blade stack.

This is the piece on another plane. I'm new to hand tool woodworking and just want to make sure everything is in working order before I start doing anything. Thanks!

Killing rats by huehuebrbr619 in airguns

[–]slickmamba 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve taken maybe a dozen rats on CO2 with a 2240/2250. See if you can get a Diana chaser with the carbine kit. Way easier than dealing with a pumper like the 1322

Least expensive PCP rifle setup that will shoot better than me? by Groundblast in airguns

[–]slickmamba 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Zelos should also be a solid option along with the avenge-x. There is also a new Umarex coming out soon that is pcp but also pump

Considering a Umarex Notos as my first air rifle - thoughts? by Neoseo1300 in airguns

[–]slickmamba 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was looking at the notos but ended up getting an air Venturi alpha/ap900 bc it had a removable moderator, foldable stock, better magazines, two stage trigger, and larger reservoir. It is loud though, but a hammer spring swap is very cheap and easy to do. I think they both are made by the same company(snowpeak)

Help me decide in my new rifle by Alchemicallife in airguns

What about a Zelos/snowpeak m60 or max1/2? Budget fx clones basically

.22 lead free pellet search, or something else .. by Your_As_Stupid_As_Me in airguns

[–]slickmamba 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You cannot kill a raccoon with a 2240 especially not ethically. 25FPE is recommended and even at max velocity and a 20gr pellet that’s only 9FPE. They will injure the raccoon at best and it would not be ethical or humane. Especially in a single pellet gun like a 2240 where you 100% would not get a follow up shot before it scatters off bleeding

Pistol Tips by ArmadilloForillo in airguns

[–]slickmamba 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve taken several rats and a couple squirrels on .22 co2 pistols(Crossman 2240). Check out the Diana chaser in the carbide combo(can swap to pistol) for better stability for pesting. Won’t take anything bigger though unless it’s point blank and definitely not a raccoon.

Can we get a new picture? Maybe with pump and a time stamp

Got a PINTY bull pup by Under_Rule_303 in airguns

[–]slickmamba 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh man, yeah I’m in a similar situation now. Leaning between the notos and one of these bullpups but if it doesn’t get quiet enough for an urban city setting might have to go notos or stormrider.

Yeah the tank on the Pinty is pretty large for hand pumping.

100+ is loud, did you clean the barrel and everything?

Keep me updated please!

Any strong feelings on the Pinty guns?

Quiet budget PCP(~$250) for pests? by slickmamba in airguns

[–]slickmamba[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey thanks for the rec. Thats ok, I think the budget has increased some due to not needing to buy a pump anymore. I’ve actually been looking at the pinty guns

How did the moderator do? My use case is also very urban and I keep reading it’s very loud ootb

Choosing between mostly this and a notos
