  1. good write up mate. I always remember to take pics on my phone, but cant upload them to this site. I think the mods should change the set up. ots so easy to upload photos onto the facebook site, so I cant understand why its such a pain to do it on here. anyone know why?? it just seems its difficult for difficults sake.
  2. sound pal. if youve got it il have it. [BANNED TEXT] could you post it mate??
  3. think its poss the original seal. although not sure. its an 88/89 model.
  4. how much will it creep up?? yes this piston seems to be moving freely enough
  5. just stripped and rebuilt my mates hw . it was slipping the cocking shoe because it was worn as was the cock8ng arm. it had an ox spring in it, that had been fitted about 20 years ago, so I changed the spring for a standard hw spring and top hat. I changed the shoe and the cocking arm. I replaced the breech seal but after reassembling it the power is only running at 8-9 ft lbs. I didn't change the piston seal. could this be the problem??
  6. I took mine in and traded it against something else. I would of taken what ever they offered me for it.
  7. Wouldn't worry too much about what the daily star has to say. its just scare mongering. nests of 1 million rats. rats as big as cows. who also remembers the swine flu pandemic that was going to kill off millions a few years ago and the bird flu that was going to do the same.
  8. Can't understand all the bitching about someone spending 350 sheets of their own hard earned cash on a plummer. if someone fancies a plummer let em buy one. if you dont want one, dont feckin buy one. I would be more concerned with the benefit brigade. all buying poorly bred poorly brought up bull terriers with your tax money. after all I see more scroungers with bull terriers than I do with plummers
  9. I have to agree with cleanspade on this 1. although all terriers should in theory be able to deal with rats, a decent plummer is hard to beat. it takes some beating on agility and nose. im not taking anything away from other terriers breeds for other types of terrier work. I just have not seen any other type of terrier as a breed come close to the plummer as a ratting dog.
  10. terrible. no matter what pellets I put through mine, it was awful.
  11. I use h&n baracuda match in mine. hit very very hard.
  12. tbf I really dont take that many heart/lung shots while using either cal. I took 1 a couple months ago with .177. rat sat on the wall that surrounds a water tank. the rats head was round the corner of the tank so I couldn't see it. I had a nice safe back stop with the wall of the cattle shed, I took the shot. the rat sort of contracted a little like it was getting ready to jump, then just stayed there stone dead.
  13. I am on my 4th hw 100 atm. currently using a kt 177. I've tried most makes over the years, including a daystate but keep coming back to the 100. I was just wondering about the pros and cons of the airwolf and or ranger if they where to be put alongside the 100 to use as a benchmark.
  14. had another 5 last night with 100kt .177
  15. I had 2 in 2 shots a couple of months ago that weren't clean kills and I wasnt happy bout it. my zero had crept off slightly when I was putting my nv kit on. my fault. I checked before I put the nv on, but didnt check after id done it.
  16. its a question of power plus accuracy more than anything else
  17. daffy, a slight drop in pressure is perfectly normal after filling 5-10 bar is fine. while filling the cylinder gets hot and tge compressed air expands, then as it cools it drops in pressure. I once sent 1 of mine to get to get the power tweaked becauae it was running about 10 ft lbs. I took it to my local shop who sent away and they had it 3 months. they said they had a flood and everything had to be moved upstairs. after 2 months I phoned and was quite shitty with them. I demanded to know what was happening and what stage my gun repair was at. the guy on the phone went to look and see,
  18. I had a .22 for years. in all honesty I can say, it was the best springer ive ever had. it never missed a beat. would I have it back?? would I ever. I eould some times put a full tin of pellets through it in a weekend, and we once set up a little hft course in the woods behind my house. and I outshot my mate with his s410.
  19. I had 18 on friday, then another 27 last night. but you cant shoot em with .177
  20. well I just had another 18 rats last night with the hw 100kt 177.
  21. ive got loadsa pics of the rats that ive dealt with all with .177 just cant upload em.
