Here's my small collection. I want to get into the PCP world eventually, but I have other projects to finish before that. The Crosman 600 on top has a hot tune and is perfect for taking out squirrels at close range.
Wow a 600...how did you get a hold of one? I wish they made a newer version of it for the 2240 platform.
I got lucky and found mine at 23rd street antiques in OKC! It had some worn pieces and fired full auto when I first got it, so I sent it in to get fixed up and tuned. I would have enjoyed the full auto if it didn't cause it to jam and eat up CO2 so quick.

Lucky you, how much was it?
I heard about Henry Ford from this guy's channel:
He also has a 600 he shoots sometimes. I enjoy that channel a lot and especially the fact he shoots some vintage guns both air guns and powder burners.
I believe I got mine for about $150-$175, but it's been a while. I do remember that it was a pretty good deal for being in such good shape cosmetically. And I'll have to start watching more of his videos. I'm always looking for more channels to subscribe to, and his stuff seems right up my alley.
Why do some states and of course socialist gov'ts of other countries have such stringent regulations on airguns?
In many cases, a slingshot or even a rock could be more dangerous than most airguns that the avg person can afford. And the regulations vary WILDLY from place to place. It shows the ignorance of law makers when it comes to guns (as we are used to).
For example, one thing I saw said that in that particular state, 177 was completely open, but 22 was banned without FFL involvement. So a person living there could buy/have a 20FPE 177 airgun without worry, but not a 5 FPE 22cal airgun. As with many regulations, they are blanket and do not serve the intended purpose well. Maybe they will ban rocks.

Straightening a bent springer barrel - I can’t vouch how well it’ll work - Just posting for FYI purposes

Nice collection mats. I think you and I have similar tastes in things that go bang. In this case, things that go pufffuuut.
Thanks dlbleak! It's always nice to find other people who like the more niche guns. I've always found older and less common guns to be more interesting than the new stuff. Although I still have plenty of modern ones too.
To that note, my wife and I shot at the airgun range in H&H the other day. Everytime I turned around it seemed like someone new was watching us and interested in the airguns. I think sometimes people just haven't seen these older guns to know they exist.
