    I've heard loads of bad reports of these too but I have had a pair of Grubbs for 3 years and had no issues at all, the soles are starting to wear thin on the heels from when out dog walking on concrete, then again, all my footwear wears the same way on the heels. the fronts of the neoprene are now starting to look like they may not hold up to water submersion from being clicked,pricked and ripped by brambles and gorze etc. though these have been well used they are still very comy. I would buy another pair if I could guarantee the same level of wear out of them. however, it seems they may

    I've done tonnes of the FX/Webley Axsors in the last 10 years or so and as long as it hasn't been stripped down by some idiot, it sould all work well with new seals fitted. A full service is £65 including all seals but can often require a new firing valve stem and seat too, I think they run at £35 for the additional parts if required so a worst case, all in job woulf be £100. I'm based in the North East but regularly travel the M6 and M62 corridors on my way to work in Chester so have plenty of chances to meet up with lads looking to save on postage costs. Paul

    The Streamline has a tube type cylinder as mentioned, this is removable from the block by simply unscrewing, however, the air must all be bled out first. I have just swapped my standard length Streamline tube for a Dreamline tube and a power plenum extension to get more shots and power (its FAC by the way and the standard tube only gave 40 to 50 shots) The cylinder must be removed to allow access to the firing valve and regulator anyway Earlier FX tubed rifles such as the Typhoon and Cyclone were "Hot Swappable" meaning you can unscrew the cylinder whilst it was still full of air and swap

    Worked on a few of these, they are good guns with little following as they were rather expensive new, somewhat more than the average AA S410 i seem to remember. the valve parts are very similar to the FX built Webley Axsor guns but not directly interchangeable. I usually make a new valve stem and seat to fit the gun which fixes it. the problem often is down to valve and main springs not being matched so at lower pressures the hammer sits on the valve stem and manages to overcome the weak valve spring and the pressure in the cylinder, which means the air all jets out. this is particularly

    I have recently picked up the compact .22 version for ease of shooting from the truck. If I were to pick fault it would only be the feeling of too much flex in the shroud and moderator. I opted to turn down another cz barrel and make it a couple of inches longer anyway so put a carbon shroud mod of my own on it, much more secure, maybe as quiet? Accuracy... should be brilliant as the consistency over the chrono is great and I know the barrel has always produced good results on other rifles it's been fitted to. I just need to get some range time and practice with it. I was impressed b

    A pm usually grabs my attention, I tend to be a bit busy and end up working or out shooting till late and rarely log onto the forums..?

    Thanks Jim, However, you may have heard some truth, not the full truth... I am still doing the odd repairs but as I have a full time job working out of town, getting the time is the problem. Weekends are still okay for getting work done but it could be a little slower than was the norm in getting your guns back to you. Paul

    Yeah, got to remember that people might have a .25 airgun so they make sure the mods are suitable. Thats often the downfall on the BSA VC moderator. One thing to bear in mind Si... when I spoke to my FEO with regards to the repairs on airguns, they are happy for me to NOT have an RFD to facilitate that, in fact they said they would not give me an RFD simply for repairs at the time, however, if I started to manufacture parts that fall under the categorys covered under the VCR act, then I must be a RFD. This includes, all barrel machining to fit a rifle, all moderators and any other pressur

    I'm in need of a new mod for my .223 Remmy 700. It has a heavy mod on currently which has some gas cutting to the baffles so is effectively at the end of its service life. I've been looking at the DPT mods, very light. After seeing and hearing a mates .243 with the same mod. Thats what I'll be getting. www.dpteuro.co.uk

    Ooops... I've had to rectify this issue a few times when other people have managed to do the same. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO ROD THE PELLETS OUT WITH THE MAG IN PLACE, that will only damage the mag, the loading bush and or the bolt. You need to remove the magazine to allow the gun to be stripped down so there is a catch 22 element here, honestly, they can be a nightmare at times. Grit your teeth and use a little extra force on the bolt and it will clear enough to allow the mag to be removed, it may need a little wiggle and can even require a tap from a soft faced mallet but the pellets

    Very nice mate, I used to have a 35E and loved it but it wasnt destined to stay, to be honest the 95 wasnt either but I had to have something for when air and bullets run out... haha

    I'm 42 and have only recently joined here due to finding out about it... lol I've been a member on other forums for a good while now, under the same name for around 10 years and under other names before that but due to a ban or two from (you'll guess where if you've been about yourself?) I stopped using that name.
  15. Premier Pistol
    Well I didnt know that... The older ones I've had through my hands were all very well made and refined copies of the old Logun Rifle platform. They were nice rifles too. Anyway, back to topic eh. Spring guns wasn't it.... lol

    I'm led to believe that Ripley Elite's are still being made and sold. A HFT shooter at my local club has just placed a deposit and is expecting delivery real soon... He already has one that I serviced for him last september. Lovely guns but quite basic by todays standards. Wighill park's website says they're on offer for £499.00 at the mo....

    In .177 I prefer something a little heavier up-front. Out of the box you will struggle to better a TX200 and I like the looks and feel of the HC. For a felt improvement between out of the box and nicely tuned then a HW97 should be a good choice. A lot of lads like the Walther LGU but having seen a few be in need of serious repairs in not a lot of time, I'd have to pass personally. I have done a lot of gliding and tuning jobs on the HW97's and they are easily as good as a TX or LGU once done and are really strong. If you have not yet played with or shot a ProSport, try one if yo

    Its off a CZ S200 or one of the AirArms or Avanti clones judging by the pressure indicator. It's an early version regardless and would have been removed from the gun to re-charge it. Would be useful to someone with an Airarms S200 that still has the older, screw on filling adaptor.

    Thanks Jeff?

    Glad to read you're enjoying it Jeff, I do have a soft spot for the HW95's, they certainly respond well to a good tuneup. Mine sits in the cabinet most of the time but had a hard life before coming to live with me. A forever gun? Maybe... just maybe. Its had a full strip and re-blue as it was rusty and being a very early model, had the barrel weight as opposed to a moderator. I'm never a fan of mods on springers, I just dont think they need them at 11odd ftlb so went with a custom barrel weight. Its had new trigger mech and brass setback blade, full PTFE and delrin lined and guided p

    To be honest the gun was fitted with a bipod and sitting on a brick built coal bunker, a workmate wouldnt have been any more stable. The .22 long is about as recoiless as you can get so I dont think it was gun related? Besides, i soon settled on the rifles favourite diet of fiocchi .22LR subsonics and thats all it will really get used in it until I can no longer buy that ammo
  23. Premier Pistol
    Yeah I see what you mean or what you are getting at now. You might be right? Ot could also have been that the rabbit had been near the bottom of the pile for a few hours until the gutting had been done and it ended up nearer the top when piled up again? Might have just been in a squashed position which closed the eye or similar?

    Bloody good eyesight mate... I honestly cant recall seeing anything. Anyway HAPPY NEW YEAR!

    I tried some .22 long 'z' last spring on a smallholding as there were horses around, as they are very quiet, I thought they'd be less chance of scaring them, however, 3" to 4" groups at 50 yds made them worse than useless. I found they were reasonable at up to 30 yds with a sub 1" group only after that they seemed to tumble and open up the groups massively, 1 1/2" at 40 yds etc. Still have a pack for ultra close range stuff. Supposed energy is 30 to 32 ftlb at the muzzle but a .22 pellet is far more stable and accurate at that power. Glad I never bought a brick of them haha
