Very nice. It is always nice when someone stretches a technology to it's limits like G L Barnes and Quackenbush are doing. Some states in the US allow the use of big bore airguns for hunting deer during bowhunting season but others don't. These are considered non firearms over here and you can order them in the mail except in Bloomberg Land and some other Communist enclaves in the USA. It would be interesting to see where this technology leads. My only regret is the cost though the Quackenbush guns are very reasonably priced even in comparison to some of the precision smallbore airguns sold in the UK and EUrope.

Thanks for the post and the link and good shooting!

Enjoy. It is to share with all enthusiasts. This is the basic idea of creating a forum like IFG.

Thank you Shahid for reaffirming my faith in the fact that the IFG spirit is alive and kicking! :) Lately been hearing too many members complain that people only wish to exchange information on PM and not on the open forum... which defeats the entire purpose of this site! :P

Cheers!

Major,

Your post has been deleted and I am issuing you a yellow card for that post.

Look guys, I have made plenty of posts warning members not to refer to a certain subject. I too have to work for a living and cannot spend all my time moderating the forum. Henceforth, if members who have been on the forum for sometime still decide to flaunt the rules, they will be carded.

I am sorry to resort to this but I am running out of patience.
