    As above an excellent rifle to get your hands dirty messing around with, had hours of fun with mine and just keeps on going, just ordered a new barrel to make a carbine option!

    It uses both to fill the tube once the cap is tightened you undo it half a turn t help release the gas to fill the tube, as previously stated u can use one empty one but you get less shots, Cheers Tony

    No worries pal.

    No need for the adapter pal, and the barrel is standard no need to raise it as a HPA tank fits without fouling. Cheers Tony

    You don't need any adapters, it's really straight forward, If anyone needs talking through or wants me to do it for them PM me at ruffaroundthehedges@gmail.com Cheers Tony

    I think iv explained things a bit wrong, the brass adaptor in the gun as standard needs removing to fit a HPA tank. This conversion only works with a xs79. Step 1 - remove brass adapter from gun just pass a screwdriver through the holes and unscrew. Step 2 - remove the barrel - by removing stock, barrel band and grub screw in barrel it then pulls out if the breech. Step 3 - screw in the HPA tank and shim it so the fill nipple doesn't get in the way of refitting the barrel. Step 4 - reassemble. Have the tank filled up Be careful of power in increases, air is thinner than co2 an

    George - if yo remove the brass adaptor the threads in the 79 are paintball threads so the buddy bottle fits the same. The rifle was originally designed to run off a 9oz paintball co2 tank but they are no longer available in a small enough diameter to fit beneath the barrel without fouling it, the black fill block which the brass adaptor fits into is a female paintball thread. To fit the HPA tank you need a 13ci 3000psi model from a paintball shop, mine is a guerrilla air model. You need to remove the barrell to screw the bottle in and shim it up to fit without so the fill nipple doesn't foul

    I converted my xs79 over to HPA £45 for regulated buddy bottle normally used for paintball, easy as peas! The stock is modified but it works on the standard rifle. Once fitted properly works just like a PCP . Cheers Tony

    Use what you've got to good effect regardless of cal., learn your rifles capabilities and your own and you won't go wrong! Cheers Tony

    Yea no worries pal, I was shooting ferrals with the rat catcher last year in a basement to a car park with its most accurate pellet, the AA Diablo Hunter slightly pointed and it had no issues hitting through the breast or shoulder into the vital organs. The rifle is sub 10ftlb so I guess the pellets been pointed helped it hit the spot I think generally a blunt or domed pellet would do more damage ballistic wise but maybe struggle with penetration, just a thought. Happy hunting Cheers tony

    This any good for ye pal? Shoot just under the crop according to the pic Although if the crop is full it will interfere with the pellets travel, but at least you can see the anatomy of the humble pigeon Cheers tony

    Biggest Pit I saw in recent years was a blue stood about 20" TTS looked like a real slim down American Bull, was charging stood fees to put it over bitches and he said most of bitches wer leggy staffs or similar types, maybe this is the reason for more boxy type bull terries given the banning of pits resulting in more staff or EBT cross pits?? Cheers Tony

    Steep learning curb with ferrets, Iv been keepiv ferrets for 5 years started with two castrated hobs, which where great pets and good workers never musky or aggressive, they where rescued by me and had been fed a poor diet by previous owners they both developed insulinomas and thus past away, I then got two more ferrets of a friend one Jill and a hob, the hob is a great looker big fella a proper dark eyed white ( bay chance not breeding) and the Jill is sandy and works like a machine!! I bred her last year when she came into season she had 9 kits. 7 survived, one was born with a heart pro
  24. TonyHunterSBT
    Problem solved! :-) Cheers il let u know how it goes! I was led to believe this would have caused problems even death, but I presume this would be due to infection of the vulva area on the Jill, so I will as usual keep a close eye on the health of the ferrets. I suppose they would survive in the wild if they didn't find a mate! Thanks Tony

    I have one Jill I wish to breed with again in future, she's also the mother to the Jill's I have kept back to work and until they're proven I don't want to rush in and get them neutered, but it is a long term solution of I don't wish to breed them but it may take a season or two to get the best from them (this being there first working season) . There's a lot of wats and buts... If I can get hold of a hoblet I would happily borrow one but if not il go with the jabb, then il see how they work next yea and make some decision on neutering, Thanks for the advice lads, more is welcome...
