    Today was the debate regarding the merging of S2 into S1 and whilst it is quite long, it well worth watching. Phil

    To be honest I am not sure the best way to report them, I have sent Ian the odd message but don't know if that is the right way.

    Sorted by the looks of it.

    I remember 'Ted's Holdover ' in the USA swears by Hades in his FX Impact guns and regards them as the best hunting pellet although I believe he now uses slugs more than pellets. They are a pellet I have never tried, in part due to the small stock of .25 cal pellets that I needed but they are on my radar to try in my .177 sub 12.

    Only if the air rifle is 'full power'. In the UK, if an air rifle is below 12fpe, no license is required but over 12fpe, a firearms license is required and that is not always easy to get and has to be approved by the police. Now you know why in UK we have to shoot our live quarry through the head in the main if shooting with 12fpe guns. Each fac gun we buy, we have to get what is called a 'variation' to our fac license or what we call a 'slot', for example, I have just sold my .22 rimfire back to the shop as it was not accurate but before I could buy another rimfire of the same cal, I had to

    You are lucky as we have to jump through hoops to get a firearms license. I have had two Impacts .25 fac (full power), really good guns although mine were the earlier models, Mk1 and 2 so not suited to slugs however 25.4gr Air Arms Field pellets certainly did the business. I no longer have them switching to rimfire as part of a reorganisation in my shooting. Phil

    My pal uses a Tika Tx3 and swears by it. Give Forest Lodge Guns a call for the best advice.

    C3 is good and a lot cheaper than BASC or CPSA and you can upgrade to full legal cover. Phil

    Well last week my ticket arrived and less than 8 weeks so my thanks to the ticket office. I popped into the RFD a day later to pick up the CZ452 but first I took a Hawke Airmax Compact scope with me (a scope I have used and still do on a number of rifles and one I have faith in). I needed to set the gun up so as there is a 25mt indoor range at the RFD it was a good start point and as expected this little rifle using RWS subs was nothing short of perfect, a short test using Hornady HV (1200fpe) was slightly off zero but again perfect results in terms of groups. All I want now is for this

    Sorry this thread has come to a grinding halt but a wait for my variation which has just come through and yesterday I went and bought a rather nice CZ 452, and set it up with my spare Airmax Compact scope in the RFD's 25mt range as a start point. The Zulus is still there for me if I want it but as my Beemer is in the garage for a fault, I am not commiting to anything until I know how much it is going to cost me. Phil

    You should be so lucky......................... misty as hell here in not so sunny North Lincolnshire.

    Cannot do, my BMW 4x4 has developed a DriveTrain issue, it is going in next week so I will have to see how much that is going to be as BMW know how to charge............................................. not good for my pension. Phil

    A slight break through, someone suggested instead of meths or the stuff that came with my Birchwood Casey kit, use IPA so I tried it after removing the crappy result i got the other day. using the Phillip's cold blue, I got a better result, not good but better. I gave it another wipe with IPA then applied another coat of blue, better although the metal between the dovetail cutouts did not colour. I am leaving it until Friday / saturday and I will do it again but next time I may warm it up first as a test. Still not happy with it but we might just be heading the right direction. I a

    They are superb, I have had two earlier models in fac, seriously good kit. Phil

    You say ' finding the right stuff ' BUT how many products do I buy to try and find the right stuff, it can go on and on because they all work according to youtube footage so just keep throwing money at it.............................feck it.

    I have used car paint with good primer coats, 2 colour coats and 3 or 4 clear top coats will do the job as I am very protective with any of shooting, archery and fishing gear so I feel it is worth going that route and I can do this without a full strip down. I know some of you guys think nothing of a full strip down but for me this is bloody major, I know..... it's me but there it is, I am not stripping it down.

    I wonder if it is worthwhile phoning Hull Cartridge to see if they know because I could buy another 10 products and be no better off. After all Jimmy I have used the two most popular products on the UK market.

    Going on some US sites, I found that cold bluing doesn't work on nickel steel leaving the sort of stains I have on mine. With this in mind, I can only guess that this gun fits that group so I don't think it is worth messing around any more waiting for a response from Birchwood Casey as I doubt it will ever come. I have just been talking to my shooting buddy who has a nice heated garage so I think we will set up a spray station in there once I have the paints and get it done once and for all. I know some of you will turn your nose up at painted metalwork but I can live with it and it is re

    Jimmy knows the issues I have had but not this one so no doubt we will be talking soon but I am going to wait to hear back from Birchwood Casey then we will see what they suggest Daniel. If all else fails, spray paint.......... Phil

    £26 down and the Birchwood Casey Perma Blue kit arrived yesterday from Ramsbottoms. Today I made a start using the kit items and following the instruction booklet to the letter. Three cleans with Cleaner Degreaser, washing and drying between treatments. A seriously good treatment of Blue and Rust Remover then washing and drying. Apply the Perma Blue using both the mop supplied and fine wire wool. FECKING SHITE I am so bloody pissed off, the surface is streaky and patchy. Contacted Ramsbottoms, they dont know the product, some feckin help that is, I have also emailed B

    Today I applied the Phillips Blue again on the bare steel barrel and action but the result was very poor to say the least so I have just ordered the Birchwood Casey Perma Blue from Ramsbottoms which comes as a complete kit so it can now sit in the corner until that arrives and we will start again hopefully with better results this time but after seeing a number of youtube reviews, I am pretty sure it will do the job.........................................fingers crossed.
