Crosman PSM45 - testing BB’s.Airguns of Alaska2026-09-20 | Crosman PSM45 - testing BB’s.Design Flaws, Accuracy Issues & FixesAirguns of Alaska2025-09-28 | In this video we look at how the Vapor Max is constructed, issues I’ve found, fixes I’ve implemented and what I did to improve accuracy.
I still don’t recommend buying this gun as there is no way to know if you’ll get a decent one. But, if you already own one you may be able to improve your airgun by recrowning the barrel. I show you how to here:
Be safe out there fellow air gunners. Danger lurks around every tree.Crosman Vapor Max Problems - Buyer BewareAirguns of Alaska2025-09-23 | As per the usual, garbage Crosman Chinese build quality rears its ugly head. From excessive flex to a non existent barrel crown… I’d recommend for buyers to stay away from this gun.
Unlike the big YouTube airgun channels, I bought my gun. Here are the poor accuracy and build quality issues I’m running into right out of the box.
*Update* 9/25/25 Since making this video I took the gun apart as a couple guys commented that the stock could’ve gotten cracked in shipping. I took the receiver covers off, removed the stock and it wasn’t cracked. I did learn the two machine screws thread into a STEEL nut. In this video I incorrectly stated I thought they threaded into aluminum. After learning the nut was steel, I tightened the living sh!t out of the screws and reduced the wobble significantly. It’s still there but reduced. I’ve been planning to make a video showing this but I still can’t get good, consistent groups out of the piece of garbage so I’m taking a break from it. Once a new selection of pellets arrive I’ll start shooting it again and do a video update.
I appreciate all the comments, questions and advice. Keep them coming!Crosman Vapor Max - Shooting Test & ReviewAirguns of Alaska2025-09-21 | After a month long wait from ordering off the Crosman website, my Vapor Max finally showed up. This is a gun I’ve been looking forward to since ‘23 when Gamo first announced it.
Now that I’ve got it in my hands and shot it, well… I was honestly expecting more in the accuracy department..177 cal Velocity & Penetration ComparisonAirguns of Alaska2025-09-14 | I got curious what differences I’d see between the Crosman Hollow Points and really heavy JSB Beast pellets. I found it interesting at how lighter versus heavier pellets performed out of the same gun.Putting PCP’s to Shame - Sheridan Blue StreakAirguns of Alaska2025-09-11 | Sorry to the guys who left awesome comments on the original video. After watching it on my TV I realized I accidentally inserted a photo during editing that threw the timing off. I re-edited and re-uploaded the video.
I also learned that YouTube crops the videos so my targets get cut off a bit in the upper right hand corner. 😡
In any case, I was super happy with the way the Sheridan performed!Airgun Caliber Comparison - Impacts in Slow MotionAirguns of Alaska2025-09-08 | What caliber do you like best and why? After shooting airguns for the past 44 years I’m kind of surprised with the caliber I settled on. In this video you’ll get to see how 4 calibers compare with impacts in slow motion. If we learn anything, it has less to do with size than…Williams Peep Sight 5DSH #1418 - 50 Yard TestAirguns of Alaska2025-09-07 | Testing out my new peep sight on cans at 50 yds. The Blue Streak definitely has potential!Pellet Penetration TestingAirguns of Alaska2025-09-02 | Just a quick comparison between two of my springers. Kinda neat to see how two different approaches to airgun calibers perform in the real world.Springer Comparison - Impact. Penetration. Velocity.Airguns of Alaska2025-08-30 | I was curious to see if there is a night and day difference between a high velocity .177 springer and two, .25 cal springers, one of which is pretty powerful.Norica Dragon .25 cal - Shooting Test & ReviewAirguns of Alaska2025-08-25 | I recently bought this .25 cal springer as I wanted to try the caliber out in a new gun. I’ve owned a Hatsan Mod 95 springer in .25 cal for the past 9 years and I’ve never warmed up to it.
I’m finding the Norica to be much easier for me to shoot accurately but I may be down on power compared to the Hatsan?New .25 cal Springer Coming Sunday 8/24/25Airguns of Alaska2025-08-24 | Just a teaser video as I was feeling artistic and think the name is silly. 😀Spanish Norica/Spanish CHP’s @ 50 YDS TestAirguns of Alaska2025-08-22 | Just goofing around and decided to film a video. I was pretty stoked on the results I was seeing with the new CHP pellets at 50 yds.Sheridan Blue streak - 35 yd Shooting TestAirguns of Alaska2025-08-18 | The more I shoot my new Blue Streak the more I like it. There are many postive things written about these guns and I’m finding them to be true. 😀1985 Sheridan Blue Streak - I Bought a ClassicAirguns of Alaska2025-08-13 | Here’s the newest airgun to my collection. So far I’m quite pleased with it. 😀Gamo CFX .22 - 50 yd Plinking TestAirguns of Alaska2025-08-08 | This combination worked pretty well. I also discovered my barrel might be crooked but I’m curious to hear what viewers think?
Also, I meant to say Super Mag pellets, not Suer Dome. I didn’t catch that until I already uploaded the video. Super Mag wadcutter pellets work really really well in the Daisy 901 and Winchester 1977XS.1985 Webley Vulcan - Back in Action!Airguns of Alaska2025-08-02 | A big thank you to my buddy Peter in the Neatherlands for sending me a replacement elevation adjustment screw for my rear sight. So cool! 😎 👍 Now my gun is back in action and working properly again. 😀 @peteralexbenPellet Head Size Sorting & Weighing - Worth the Time & Effort?Airguns of Alaska2025-07-27 | I go off the deep end and start geeking out over sorting my pellets for head size and then weighing them. Was it worth it? Let me know in the comments below. I think it was.
Whoops! I forgot to include the chrony numbers. They were: 563, 558.8, 568.3 FPS so not bad.Daisy 880 vs Weihrauch HW30Airguns of Alaska2025-07-19 | Tired of snobs putting down inexpensive department store pumpers? Let’s see how an 880 compares.
I liked @ohshoot444 most recent video and it gave me the idea for this one.Marlin Lever Action - Shooting Test & ReviewAirguns of Alaska2025-07-13 | I bought another BB gun and am undecided on what I think of it.Western Justice Lil’ Sure Shot - “Accuracy“ Testing @ 10 yds.Airguns of Alaska2025-07-06 | The enshitification of the airgun industry is moving ahead at full speed with capable companies like Air Venturi leading the way.
Don’t waste your money on this junk show of a BB gun. It’ll cause your kids to hate you. Your wife will get upset and file for divorce and you’ll soon be living in a sad apartment complex in the run down part of town. Don’t say I didn’t warn you.Western Justice Lil’ Sure Shot - Shooting Test & ReviewAirguns of Alaska2025-07-06 | So I kinda fell into a BB gun gallery shooting phase recently and bought this stupid, Air Venturi, Daisy wannabe gun. While it’s powerful (for a BB gun) and looks promising, the execution missed out on Daisy’s secret sauce. This video went much longer than I realized but you’ll gain more real world info than Air Venturi’s propaganda infomercial video the factory put out.Daisy 901 vs Weihrauch HW30Airguns of Alaska2025-07-04 | Can a cheap department store gun compare in accuracy at 20 yds to an expensive German springer? Do you need to spend $300 for good accuracy?Chrony Testing ShootoutAirguns of Alaska2025-06-30 | Both guns claim 1000 FPS. Both guns are pneumatics. Both shoot both pellets and bb’s. Is there a clear winner in this match up?Crosman Legacy 1000 - Overpromises & UnderdeliversAirguns of Alaska2025-06-28 | If you are a fan of this model you aren’t going to be happy with my review. I’m not happy about spending $64 on a gun that can’t even shoot at its spec’d velocity and feels like it’s full of grit or metal shavings. Anything I’ve owned that Crosman made in China has been poor quality.50 yard Can Bottom Challenge - Daisy Model 35 EpisodeAirguns of Alaska2025-06-27 | I modded my Daisy 35 with a cut down, rifled barrel out of an 880. Does it have what it takes for a 50 yd can bottom challenge?Daisy Model 95B vs Winchester Model 12Airguns of Alaska2025-06-20 | Shooting cans with a BB gun is really fun and satisfying. What type of cocking action would you prefer? Pump or lever?Daisy Model 95B - Shooting Test & ReviewAirguns of Alaska2025-06-15 | Have you shot a lever action BB gun lately? If not you should! They are super fun and take you back to when you were a kid. 😀Daisy 35 Shotgun ExperimentAirguns of Alaska2025-06-09 | I received a request from @SlingAndStone about loading the barrel with multiple BB’s. I didn’t think it’d work very well but decided to give it a try. Wow! I came away surprised. 😀😆👍Crosman Hollow Point Accuracy ResultsAirguns of Alaska2025-06-08 | This is a quick video showing the results I got from shooting 25 pellets at each target at 20 yds. I used my Daisy 901 equipped with a scope and shot from a sand bag. I didn’t find a significant difference between the USA made CHP’s compared to the new, Spanish made CHP’s.Daisy 35 - Mad Minute ChallengeAirguns of Alaska2025-06-02 | I modded my Daisy 35 into a can bashing carbine. Was it worth it?Daisy Model 35 - Surprisingly Accurate at 35 ydsAirguns of Alaska2025-05-31 | @daisy880fanaticfixit9 gave me this idea of a test and I was so surprised at the 35 yd results that I decided to test it out further. Had I not tried it out I’d have been very skeptical that a smoothbore airgun could shoot accurately enough with pellets to hit cans consistently at 35 yds. Very cool!
The 880 pattern airguns are very accurate. Check out Johnny Maks @renterp test at 75 yds using a Winchester 1977XS.

Airguns of Alaska finally has a PCP compressor. A big thank you goes out to Neda at VEVOR! 👍 She sent me this compressor to feature on my channel.
She has a 5% off discount code available if you are wanting to order. https://s.vevor.com/bfRN72
I’m no expert on PCP compressors. I’ve been using a hand pump for the past 15 years. I watched other YouTube videos to see how this worked. It was really simple to get up and running, basically attach the hose and plug it in. Way easier than i was anticipating. I thought it worked really well!
I watched Nibs over at Walnut & Steel test and feature his compressor.
I also watched this review that showed all the features
youtu.be/UuvRvzvWFjQ?si=LkvHwYZMwKn4jtYOVogel Domed Pellet test @ 20 & 50 ydsAirguns of Alaska2025-05-26 | Back in April I reached out to Vogel USA and asked if they’d be willing to send me some pellets for testing. Blake from Vogel was kind enough to send me a couple tins and here’s the test. I experienced excellent accuracy at 20 yds and promising accuracy at 50 yds.
For some reason the trigger in my Daisy 901 started acting sticky and lost the “2 stage feel” I liked so much. I don’t know why? @daisy880fanaticfixit9 do you know why the trigger feel changes on the 880 variants? Any ideas how to correct it?
I’m excited about these pellets and the company! I’m a big fan of made in USA products and am stoked I found an American company making pellets for our sport. 😀
vogelusa.comDaisy 901 - The Best of the Daisy Pneumatics?Airguns of Alaska2025-05-17 | I’m really digging this gun! It’s accurate, easy to shoot and inexpensive. What’s not to like?
I modified my 901 using the $20 Daisy 5899 rear peep sight and a front sight off their website Daisy model 35.
A big thank you to Hank over at Indiana Airguns for testing pellets and finding out how well the RWS Supermag pellets work in the 901.
youtu.be/1d0WYFU1-Y0?si=fehKmme6AChP7eNtDaisy Powerline Model 35 - Shooting TestAirguns of Alaska2025-05-16 | I don’t tend to feature many BB guns in the channel. But this one actually performed well enough I decided to do a video on it before I use it for parts.
If you’ve not shot a BB gun for a while you should! It totally takes you back to being a kid. 😀👍Daisy 901 - Shooting Test & ReviewAirguns of Alaska2025-05-09 | This is just an introductory look at my newest airgun. I’m really impressed with it! I love the pumping action over the 880 and it’s proving to be very accurate. What’s not to like?Winchester 1977XS - Shooting Test & DifferencesAirguns of Alaska2025-05-05 | This is an interesting airgun. I’ve found it to be more consistent accuracy wise than my 880 but it’s got its own quirks as well. It’s definitely worth checking out and doing more research if you are interested in this model.

@NoricaAirguns @ManbilyDon’t Underestimate the Daisy 880!Airguns of Alaska2025-04-24 | Are you getting tired of the near constant parade of flavor of the month, high dollar PCP’s that seem to be the focus of most new YouTube airgun channel content? Well let’s step back in time and shoot an airgun from your childhood that is more capable that most would give it credit for. It’s amazing what a 50+ year old American design that’s been cheapened and outsourced to China can do at 50 yds. I was really surprised and impressed. 😀
#airgunshooting #airgunDaisy 880 - A $60 Gun Shouldn’t Be This GoodAirguns of Alaska2025-04-21 | I bought this Chinese made Daisy 880 last summer and never really cared for it due to the cheap, plastic feel and the fact it was made in China. I have two, older 880 that have metal receivers and were made in the USA that I held in much higher regard.
Well… I’ve come to be very impressed with the accuracy and capability of the modern 880. I’d have never guessed it could be so accurate and easy to shoot. I can understand why so many people think so highly of the design, even the modern Chinese made version.Daisy 880 - Outstanding Accuracy @ 35 ydsAirguns of Alaska2025-04-17 | I don’t care for the modern, plastic, Chinese made 880 compared to my 80’s and 90’s USA made versions. But… I can’t deny that it doesn’t shoot well. Holy moly! Add a Daisy 5899 peep sight and what an accurate plinker! It also does well for target shooting.Shooting Tips for SpringersAirguns of Alaska2025-04-14 | In this video I feature a less expensive springer break barrel and shoot cans at 35 yards. A big thanks to @dtm6190 for sharing his shooting tips with me in the comments of my artillery hold video.Daisy Wadcutter Pellets - The Best Bargain AvailableAirguns of Alaska2025-04-13 | Who says wadcutters are only good for 10 meters? Who says you’ve got to buy expensive, boutique European pellets that cost a small fortune? These cheap Daisy wadcutter pellets have been working really well for me and here’s the proof. 😀
@Indiana424 @WalnutandSteelThe Artillery Hold - Fact or Fiction?Airguns of Alaska2025-04-12 | Is the “artillery hold” just an urban myth? An old wives tale passed along from generation to generation with no relevance towards modern springer or gas ram guns? I test it to find out.
Here’s a link to the Manbily tripod I used in the test:
