I had this with a BSA Meteor. Firstly i glued the split. Before the glue dried I pre-drilled a couple of holes through the split, put a couple of screws in with the heads countersunk and filled the holes with sawdust and wood glue. It has been like this now for about 10 years, it doesn't really get used these days but did have heavy use after the repair was made. Its perhaps not the prettiest repair but if you plan to hide it with camo tape you'd never know. Hope this is of some help, good luck with it. Paul.

BASC have feral cats on their Mammalian Pest Species list that can be controlled all year using legal methods. It wouldn't be the nicest days shooting i don't think but looks like you'd be alright legally. Probably best to give someone like BASC a call just to be sure?

I'm not 100% sure, but i think it is legal to shoot feral cats provided you can prove they are feral? Though I'm sure someone will know for sure. ATB, Paul

Have a go on both and pick the one you like best, either way you're a winner I have both an S410 and MK2 S200, both .177, and to be honest the S200 is the one that sees more use. ATB, Paul.

Thats very kind of you Andy, Thank you.. PM Coming

OK mate thanks I might get a few different tins of pellets of varying weights then. I have only tried bisley pest control and bisley superfields as these are what came with the gun so not sure if they are best suited for it or not. As soon as i have the Stealth working properly i will be starting on the HW77K, so might be giving you that phone call in the not too distant future Thanks.

Thanks Andy I'll get some of them then i reckon. ATB, Paul.

Thanks for correcting me i was going by this website http://extorian.co.uk/shooting/pellets.html Looks like Beeman Silver Arrows are heavier anyway? Although I'm not sure to trust that site now.

Hi all, i am in the process of giving my Stealth a bit of a tune as it was running at a poor 7ft/lbs The top-hat was wobbly on the valve stem and had been glued on fairly crudely. So I made a new valve stem and top-hat on the lathe, fitted them, then checked the power using the chronograph. It is now running at 11.96 ft/lbs using Bisley Pest Control pellets. This is obviously too close to the limit so will need to adjust the power. I understand it is best to set the gun up with the heaviest pellets available? So my question is, what are the heaviest .20 pellets? The heaviest i h

I don't think it would really matter, as long as it is hot enough to produce steam. The key is the wet towel/cloth as the steam causes the wood fibers to swell. The swollen fibers then need sanding before refinishing. This method can only be used on bare wood though i believe. Hope this helps, Paul.

I have a Suzuki samurai 1.3, i am 26yrs old and insurance on this was a joke. I then phoned a company called Sureterm direct who gave me a specialist 4x4 limited 6000 miles per year policy for £280, the next cheapest quote was over £800. I'd recommend giving them a try as this is the second vehicle I've had insured with them and they are always well under half the price of the cheapest quote. An older defender may also work out cheaper than you think. Good luck in your search, Paul.

Michael/Steve, or whoever you are, can you not see, no-one cares anymore. This could go on for a hundred pages and you will not have changed the minds of the good people of this forum, so give up, accept you/he has lost the trust of everyone here and stop posting this nonsense

Sorry Baghdadnights, you must type faster than me

??? You say 'Matt ring ME on the number above' but.......i thought that was Steve's number?

I bought one of the Tru-Oil kits for my S200. To be honest i wasn't overly impressed and found it hard work to achieve a satisfactory finish. Saying that, in the right hands, I'm sure its a brilliant kit and would produce good results, just seemed harder than it should to me. I ended up painting the stock with Plasti-Kote, which took a few coats but i am pleased with the results and think it has improved the look of the gun. Paul.
