Our new gun arrived today! Ordered a 25 caliber Air Venturi Avenger on Monday. It had a bit of a side trip heading east, but a really helpful fellow at FedEx seems to have gotten us sorted and our package resumed its westward journey.

We added a brick of putty to the stock since it’s incredibly front-heavy otherwise. One of the two cartridges seems to have a spring issue — it doesn’t advance unless you remove and re-insert the cartridge. Luckily, it comes with two … so we’ve got a functional one. It’s assembled, pumped up, and we got fourteen shots in before it was too dark. We’ll finish getting it sited in tomorrow.
