Let me know if this is something we can use- if not that is okay. The second part is a video I made a long time ago that is a take off from the Clint Eastwood YouTube scgment about “Do I feel lucky, well do ya Punk? Note that i am wearing the same sport coat, sweater and tie. The caption is: “Dirt E. Harry finds himself in a 211 (robbery) in progress where customers are being held up by high prices and lousy service. He blows away the two punks with his replica .357 Smith and Wesson pellet pistol.” If it is too long, I can remove the second part and just use the first part that is only 27 seconds long.
1. I moved the Logo and the menu down so that there would be space so that the menu can be clearly seen. I deleted “deals” and “about “harry” because I am not much for deals. They always turn out to be a problem because someone always wants to make substitutes to a deal and one item or another goes out of stock and that makes a deal go south. I offer free ground shipping over $150. Also, I am working with a tight margin and that does not leave a lot of room for discounts and deals.
About “harry” can be found in the “cool links” and “Under $300” does get a lot of action. I used to sell a lot of “self defense” and I have a lot of the Umarex P2P on hand. When it was called the Walther PDP, I was and I am still the only one that imports these into the US from Germany. Now that it is called the Umarex P2P sales have dropped to nothing even though it is an identical unit.
2. I want to be sure that customers see that I ship to the USA and Puerto Rico only and there is free “ground” shipping over $150. If I don’t spell out ground, they will try to overnight or 2nd day for free.
3. Love this the layout of this one. I just made the text bigger (11 pt) so that it can be read. Glad you put the Dirt E. Harry persona up front and the Expert Advice. Good word play on Make Your Shot. Find the Magic Pellet is something that no one else talks about because they either don’t know or don’t have a clue about how to do it. It is the SECOND most asked question that I get.
4. is there to add a little humor and if you click on the Fortune Cookie link you will see what I mean.
5. This is the FIRST most asked question that I get. “I have a problem with rabbits tearing up my wife’s garden- what air gun do you recommend?” Or “I have a coyotes attacking my dogs- how can I get rid of them… will a .22 caliber do it?” A lot of pest/hunting questions. AND, I am the only site that addresses this question(s). (Available no where else) probably needs your expertise.
6. I made the text bigger so that it could be seen. Those are the 5 power types. Break barrel can be either a spring piston or a gas piston. I am assuming the +39 more would take the customer to the brands menu.
7. Top Picks is a good one as long as I don’t have to use black guns against a black background. Getting rid of the white halo takes extra work- it may look better but I would prefer to show the images as they are seen on the product page with the shadow detail of a black gun against an RGB dbdfdf back ground. You may not have noticed but Top Picks is also dbdfdf instead of white- easier on the eye. I put a bevel on the Quiet button so that it gives it a little more punch and does not look as flat.

8. I assume that Air Rifles, Air Pistols and Accessories would link to existing menus. For example the Air Rifles menu (if you use the Hamburger Menu (3 Bars)) (1. and 2. on the right) is the “complete” menu for air rifles. It is long but it covers everything Air Rifle in one click (tap) instead of the Air Rifles link (3. & 4. on the right) that will take several taps to find the same thing. Same with Air Pistols and Accessories menus. PCP Air Guns, Scopes and Optics and Pellets and Ammo are found under existing menus and would require separate new menus. They are also found under the sliding accessory menu specific for each individual air gun. No one else does this- it makes it a no brainer for a customer wanting to add accessories to an order and know he is getting the correct accessories for his air gun of choice. Pellets and ammo are a nuisance but I have to carry them and sold by themselves is a low profit order… besides the correct ones are located in the accessory slider. For an example, see the .22 Western Airguns SideWinder 580 Semi/Full-Auto PCP Air Rifle all the accessories are specific to this air rifle- no extra accessories that won’t work.
9. There are actual testimonials on the Unedited Customer Reviews page.

10. This is better than the About link!! This year will mark 20+ years. Shop My Picks I assume links to #7 above. Calls… most of the time they are tire kickers and then want tell you their life history or want to give you their credit card over the internet. Luckily, the privacy laws prohibit me from having anyone’s credit card information- besides taking a credit card over the phone is the best way to wind up with a chargeback. i assume Get in Touch means sending an email… texts means you have conversations with the same person in 2 places. I like email because it keeps everything in one place and I can send links and pictures in the body of an email- can’t do that over the phone.
I stumbled across a better picture of Dirty Harry in the Dead Pool.
11. I don’t know about this one. As I said before I am not deal oriented- it can become time consuming. I also quit doing broadcast emails. Because of the cost and the amount of time it takes to do an ad and the ROI is minimal. I would say leave this one out.

12. The phone number is 1.877.776.9376 and it goes into my computer with a voice message through Phone.com Once in a while I answer but most of the time I let it go through and if they leave a good message, I will call them back from my computer with a special phone number. This keeps my cell phone number away from people that would drive me nuts. The email is topairgun@inreach.com I am located in Ceres, CA. I started TopAirGun.com in 2006. I am not sure what Terms of Service means. As far as social media, I have Facebook and X. I used YouTube until they went anti-air gun and took down some of my videos. Now I use Vimeo.com and I can make cleaner videos and they don’t have an air gun axe to grind. I think I might have an Instagram account.

First of all, the designer of this wheel needs to be commended for his/her work! This is one outrageously awesome looking wheel!
The color appears to be a silver with a pinch of pearl and a clear overcoat like the Porsche, BMW and Mercedes silvers.
The FR-S gets compliments like “what a pretty car,” “your car is is awesome” with a thumbs up and a man got out of his black Cadillac Coupe DeVille and did a double take as I drove by and I saw in my rear view that he was still looking as I drove away! As you said, it is truly a show stopper!
A Flat Cap seems to look the best. It fits the theme and design of the wheel and brings the whole package of the FR-S together for a bold yet clean, classy and a unique finished “look.”
The Bullet shape just doesn’t seem to go with the theme and design of the wheel. It kinda gives the wheel a bulky heavy look.
The below left column transformations took place on October 8, 2024
Where it all started…
I was driving down a street one day back in August 2024 and I spotted this 2021 Subaru BRZ and I thought- these are just the wheels that I have been looking for! I stopped, knocked on the door and was able to talk to the owner. He was very helpful and told me they were 18 x 9.5 Vors TR4s and they had 225/35/18 tires stretch mounted on them.
I took a picture of my 2016 FR-S. It sits level with 20mm spacers on the front and 30mm spacers on the rear so that the tread of the tire is flush with the side of the car front and rear. A stock FR-S looks like a fat duck without spacers.
Then, using PhotoShop, I copied the TR4s and tires from the BRZ and put them on my FR-S and I was sold! They looked great on my FR-S without it being lowered and having the camber & caster all out of whack with tires wearing on the inside. The TR4 with a stretch mount is the key to this bold but clean look… the car looks like it is dancing while it is sitting still.
I have nothing against lowered cars- I have always driven lowered cars. This is a 1955 Buick Century 2-Door HardTop showcar that I had when I was in College. Front coil springs shortened by cutting 1 1/2 coils. Front wheels 8.5 x 15 with G60 15″ B.F Goodrich Tires. Rear wheels 10 x 15 with L60 15″ B.F Goodrich Tires. Gun Metal Grey with a clear overcoat… it took best paint in the 1973 Eugene, Oregon Custom Car Show!
This was the 1978 Mercury Cougar XR7 “shop” car that I drove when I owned Old Dominion Body and Frame in the ’70s and ’80s in Eugene, Oregon. It was lowered flat level with 1 1/2 coils cut up front and 320 lbs of cement poured in 21 removable ingots in the trunk. The Old World Coach Lamps (Super Fly headlamp surrounds) got a lot of attention! Everyone knew this car and what shop it belonged to. The shop specialized in collision work on cars no older that 5 years… no rust work and no paint jobs- strictly collision work including a lot of Porsche, BMW and Mercedes Benz. Consequently, I had the busiest shop in the area!
To make sure that everything was going to fit before I ordered from Fitment Industries, I had to find the distance from the brake rotor to the fender lip. I wanted the tire tread to be flush with the outside of the fender lip and the tire sidewall and wheel protrude out past the fender lip front and rear. The 15mm rear spacers let the rear wheels and tires stick out 3mm more that the front tires… creates the illusion that the car is lowered and the rear tires are slightly larger than the front tires!
The Motor Snorkel by US Carburetion, Inc is a slick devise for converting a gasoline powered generator to natural gas! These are two 4500W generators joined in parallel to generate 9000W.
Two 3/4” gas lines were installed under the house from the gas meter- one line at the back of the house to run the generators on a nice day and one line going to the garage to run the generators on a rainy day. The 3/4” gas noses are connected to the the shut off valves via a splitter and two 6’ hoses for the back yard and the addition of a 21’ hose to make it to the splitter in the garage. it takes no time to set up because all fittings are quick connect.
The Motor Snorkel was a snap to install as advertised, however, to reach the engine regulator(s) 14” inches of fuel hose was added with a double brass barb and the generator access door to the side of the engine had to be slightly modified.
According to instructions, the load blocks were set at full in, then 7 turns out for the natural gas. It took 2 pushes of each primer button and both generators started right up! US Carburetion’s support is top flight- they answered my questions every step along the way. Now the generators can be run indefinitely no matter how long the power outage. Good bye to gasoline and having to shut down to refill the gasoline tanks.
