  1. I have decided to reload a small amount of steel (probably) for wildfowling and shooting pigeon for my hawk, I am quite happy to weigh/measure each load, as I do for my rifle reloading, so large volume is not an issue, does anyone have a useful fast load recipe with readily available components, i.e cases, wads, primers, with Alliant steel powder, as it is my understanding that loading steel loads requires care and sticking to a formula, what I find slightly confusing is when reading load data, some of the components mentioned dont seem to be readily available, and again it is my understanding
  2. Sounds like its developed a leak, now I have never had the cylinder apart on one of these, but I would imagine there is an o ring between the steel casing and brass filler assembly, if you dont feel competent doing it yourself, pop it into a gun shop, it will be minimal cost to repair, enjoy your new rifle.
  3. Oh they can be improved quite a bit, as one or two on here that have had their AA springers tuned by me will attest too I am sure ?
  4. Having a license to drive, does not stop a driver, drunk or sober from mowing someone down if they are driving dangerously, gun, car, whatever, misuse is the key, people will always misuse and act stupidly with whatever, how many children get killed or badly injured every year on our roads compared with deaths or injury from airguns? Hundreds of times more I would suggest, however there is no call to ban cars, or indeed introduce a license to OWN a car.
  5. This is a tragic accident according to the police, NOT some nutter running around shooting at kids, I really feel for the lad and his relatives, but I fail to see how having a licence for the airgun would have avoided this, in the same way that having a license for a shotgun, does not stop it from being lethal when misused, no I dont think this kind of sad incident will expedite air gun licensing in England.
  6. Will try that, I do enjoy eating squizzers, I just wish they were a bit easier to skin lol.
  7. And yet another splendid fellow, that makes this section what it is.
  8. Rowan engineering do a trigger kit for them............... Sorted.
  9. Sort the trigger, they are in a class of their own, simply put the smoothest, quietest spring rifle you will ever own.
  10. This is most peculiar, where has the OP gone? Basically what has happened in my opinion is, a customer has bought a pistol, got pellets stuck in the barrel and returned it, instead of checking it and offering it for sale at a slightly reduced price, due to it now being a "used" pistol, they have sold it as new, very bad practice, threaten them with TS, and demand a full refund or replacement.
  11. Excellent grouping old boy, but I must ask, which rifle are you going to take lol?
  12. Mega busy at the moment, but when I start it I will get some pics up.
  13. Perhaps a call to your local trading standards would be in order.
  14. And I have the same pump, its brilliant, fu*k diving bottles and tests an all that crap.
  15. Thats awesome mate, I will make it fit one way or another, cheers Mac.
  16. Right, my mates lad has been given quite a nice HW35 for his first rifle, its very twangy and has a fair amount of recoil, so I am going to tune the nuts off it for him, I am doing it for the lad free of charge and it will be spot on when I have finished.....My question is, has anybody got a delrin spring guide and top hat knocking about for one of these they dont need, or even if its too big I will use my mates lathe to take it down, as you can imagine £20 is a lot for a young lad so I am trying to scrounge bits to keep the cost to zero, any help gratefully received lads, cheers.
  17. Well done matey, you wont go far wrong with one of them, an old boy I shoot with has one, he has had it twenty years and it has never needed any seals.
  18. Absolutely agree, mine still amazes me and I have had it a good few months now, as said, they will match anything for accuracy.
  19. There is a much nicer one .177 multi shot in a lovely custom walnut stock not far from you mate, its at a certain shop, pm me if you want details pal.
  20. Could not agree more Deker, less is definitely more.
  21. As is the case with rifle bullets the heavier ones retain their energy better down range, good test that, I would like an ultra in .25 at some point.
  22. Welcome back dude, glad to hear the dogs doing well.
