Airgun Nation

Airgun Nation is a dedicated forum and community platform for airgun enthusiasts, professionals, and industry dealers. Founded in 2015 and completely reinvented in 2022, the site functions as the central hub for the entire airgun community.

The platform hosts active discussions covering:

• •Moderators and Sound Suppression - Legal discussions on airgun moderators, LDCs (Lugged Damping Cans), and their use. Members frequently discuss moderator legality across different states and federal regulations.
• •PCP Rifles and Airguns - Comprehensive forums for PCPs (Pre-Charged Pneumatic rifles), spring guns, and all airgun types
• •Airgun Builds and Customization - DIY projects, modifications, and custom work
• •Pellet Testing and Ballistics - Velocity data, accuracy comparisons, and performance metrics
• •Equipment Reviews - Member feedback on specific airgun brands, moderators, and accessories

The community has become a go-to resource for understanding airgun moderator legality. Members discuss BATF regulations, state laws, and court rulings affecting airgun ownership. Key discussion points include:

"It all comes down to intent. Airguns use 1/2x20 threads while firearms use 1/2x28 and larger. Without proper adapters or modifications, moderators designed for airguns cannot legally be used on firearms." - Community Expert Member

The forum covers which states regulate airguns differently, with specific attention to states that ban or restrict airgun ownership and accessories.

Verified dealers participate directly on the platform, including:

• •DonnyFL - Manufacturer of CF LDCs (Carbon Fiber Lugged Damping Cans) with laser-etched airgun-only disclaimers
• •Other established retailers selling PCP rifles, moderators, and accessories

Unlike general gun forums, Airgun Nation focuses exclusively on airguns and the airgun community. The 2022 reinvention strengthened the platform's community features while maintaining the technical expertise that attracts industry dealers and serious enthusiasts.

Members range from casual backyard shooters to competitive precision rifle competitors to commercial manufacturers. The mix creates a unique resource where beginners can ask basic questions and experts can discuss cutting-edge airgun technology, moderator design, and legal interpretation.

The site emphasizes factual information—members regularly cite court cases like United States of America vs. Crooker to explain moderator legality, and discussions include specific thread sizes (1/2x20 for airguns vs 1/2x28 for firearms) that define the legal distinctions.
