Very informative.  Does that mean we are required to have a certificate or liscense here in the states?

Muzzlebrakes are not regulated in the united states - they do not reduce the sound of the rifle, but s ilenc ers/noise reducers/ that can be attached to a firearm (powder burner) are VERY much so, along with automatic weapons.  These both require special permits from the Federal Gov't ATF bureau and background check by the FBI and usually a couple thousand $ fee, along with a nominal renewal fee and being subject to periodic re-checks for criminal activity by FBI.

Airguns are not regulated in the United States, though the more powerful they become, we may unfortunately see a change in this policy.   If a noise reducing device like that on the Whisper model air rifle is
built into the product and not designed to be removable then it technically falls outside the purview of the Federal Gov't.   If one were to try to build or modify such a device for fitment or potential attachment
to a firearm, that is another story altogether and would be highly illegal, unless one was already licensed to do so by the Government.   Heavy fines and felony indictments await those who would ignore these laws and got caught.

No , thank goodness . We  take for granted what we have , that others don't . No federal restrictions on airgun power yet. Some states do , mostly caliber restrictions on pistols . Some treat a .22 caliber air pistol as a firearm . Others treat all airguns as firearms . kirby

Have fun,

The checkered Monte Carlo rifle stock is a classic beauty.. the scope sits impressively on the gun for your marksmanship pleasure....the "tube formed shooting rest" appears to be very versatile, like one-size softly pads and steadies any fine air rifle  (your AA) or every day shooter.

I've a "shop topic" question and may need moving to THE SHOP  forum.  Is the "tube type" shooting rest factory supply or did you fabricate it? Does it have adjustments or are the foam sleeves and the shooters touch used to keep the cross hairs on the bulls eye and follow through?    

Great pics and you can admire (like us all) and enjoy the acquisition.

First of all, thanks for the compliments. The "shooting rest " you are referring to is just a carrier used on a field target course to carry the gun safely between lanes and to have a safe place to put the rifle when not shooting . It can also hold ant items needed for a match ......pellets , knee pads , score card , etc. I did fabricate it out of some scrap aluminum I had laying around the garage . It's not adjustable and the foam just cushions the ride . Thanks , kirby

Hey Kirby, thanks for setting me straight on the foam padded, fabricated do-dad! After second, third looks shooting off it does look restrictive.

Kirby,



 That's a nice shooting piece you have there.......I especially like the Rosewood?? schnabel tip and pistol grip cap. It looks at home in the "woods" in your photos.



 I was chrony'ing a club mate's .22 AAS410 Classic today for him to get an average, and they really are nice. Quite powerful in the FAC mode, even if the FAC model is hard to cock. FAC only get 30 shots useable.....info discovered for him: 28.1 ft/lbs, 16gr pellet, 891.1 avg vel.



 You are on to a winner there, so enjoy it..........



 Adam
