I enjoy taking inexpensive air rifles and pistols and making them better. Follow the links below to see how I work my magic with relatively common tools:
Squeezing more out of my Umarex Fuel – breakbarrels often need a new breech seal right out of the box.

The B3-3 Project – a old, very common underlever design gets the treatment. It has turned into one of my favorite low powered shooters.
