    Hello Gary I was wondering where you'd got to old pal. Glad to see your absence is a cause of some good news rather than seeing another good lad having to sell a treasured gun to pay a rip-off water/gas/electric bill or whatever. Hurry up and get re-armed and back here posting more of your adventures with 'wor kid' Darryl. I've missed your brilliant write-ups mate. With warmest regards and best wishes for the big day.. Simon

    Hi Chris. I do actually mate, I use a Deben Tracer lamp that clips via a connector to the scope and that drops my POI a little. I don't use it much nowadays. There's a lad with a 4x4 and a powerful spotlamp I go out shooting with in the autumn/early winter nights. I much prefer to shoot with a second pair of hands directing the beam. All the best mate.

    Well done Wurz my bonnie lad. I find this big pillock a bit hard as to know how to take! I hate the awkward arse crawling to Terry Doe. He's just another shooter as we all are. Not a bloody UFO alien marksman! Nice vid Davy! Simon

    I'm not entirely sure you have a duff pellet batch Chris , I've found H&N FTT are still superbly accurate generally for Weihrauch barrels at sub 12ft/lb power but not as precisely consistent, sizewise as they used to be from tin to tin.. Some I've found are loose or small enough to be .20 cal. in a batch of .22 and there are some that are a bit over-tight. These inconsistencies really show up in a high performance barrel as they are being blown with even more massive compression forces, expanding the pellet with greater energy faster down the bore lands. Also could be the rifle is s

    I wrote informing her of the grave consequences for many people who work in the trade and everyone who enjoys shooting sports in Britain already under great restriction by stringent UK Firearms laws, who rely on mail order for scopes, spare parts, pellets etc as a major part of their businesses. Also and particularly the remedial benefits of shooting for the disabled, many of who will have no recourse but to use the postal services for maintaining their active involvement. I made mention of our abysmal no-show in the Olympics 10-Metre rifle final event because, thanks to the negative view

    Gentlemen. I've had an email from Zoe Allchorn at Royal Mail in response to my original email protest at the above proposal. Quote. "Thank you for your well-written and reasoned thoughts....Royal Mail will consider all points of view regarding this proposal, before making any final decision." It still lies with everyone to make their protest heard and reverse this latest infringement on our right to enjoy our shooting sports. Regards to all. Pianoman.

    Hi Chris. When my gunsmith tuned my FAC HW80 with a new Titan spring recently, he told me, it needed both himself plus his assistant with their spring-compressor, to compress it and fit it properly home. This is a long and massively powerful spring and it will bite like hell on an unwary hand! It sounds like you are using the same spec Titan. So, I really don't envy you if your doing this alone! Be careful mate and keep us informed how you progress with this HW80. Best wishes Chris. Simon

    Hi mate. If nothing else, send my pal AndyFR1968 a PM about this. He's been a bloody wizard with servicing and tuning my spring rifles, so, it's a good bet he might know what's happening inside your Prosport...or not! Hope this turns out well for you and your rifle. Regards. Simon.

    And a Good Morning to you too Mr Ghillies Sir!

    That is beautiful craftsmanship sir. How much would a similar design on a buttstock with a rabbit or two cost to commission?

    Hello Malc. This calibre needs a massively higher FPE level than sub-12ft/lb mate. It's just too slow. But the accuracy is impressive for all that. A 300 ft/lb PCP rifle would do nicely! All the best. Simon

    PYROGRAPHING Is this the means to etch wood with a heated scribing tool? (hence Pyro = Latin for Fire?) I don't know who does this but, I know of it. Sometimes known, I believe, as Pyrogravure. To etch or engrave with a hot instrument.

    BATTLE? A typo for Bottle perhaps? Is this rifle a bottle-fed PCP?

    If you watch the Monty Python And The Holy Grail movie, there is a sequence where a woman is being accused of being a Witch and the villagers want her tried for witchcraft. Sir Bedevere asks "How do you know she's a witch? To which come a bewildering series of replies and one villager says "Well,she turned me into a Newt....I got better...! This is no less the same bloody bullshit here with Kurt's neighbours! Someone got shot, at 20 metres? But they got better?? Next time there's a strong wiff of weed in the air, call the police and complain like hell to the council or the landlor

    Oh dear me laddie. Sounds like you went out there and forgot everything you knew. So you had a cracking course, very well thought out by some malicious and calculating devils. So did Davy and Chaz have a hand in the design? Never mind dear lad. You write very well and I enjoyed your write up John. Now, what type of air rifle and scope was this young hot-shot using? .177 PCP? Better luck next time old pal. And I dare say you didn't achieve the lowest score on the day....Did you? Warmest regards. Simon

    I know wurz my dear friend I'm already bracing myself for when she starts bringing Hatsans and SMKs back after a night out. Teenagers huh?! Warmest regards John. Simon

    Oh I do now Skot,.. . Since it gave birth to your HW95....!

    Thank you Malt. That's a sorry thing for you mate, but, your baby is your most precious priority and at least you did the right thing as a man and, a doubtless proud father and for that, I admire you immensely. But, there's other HW80s from their vintage days for sale out there and there's bound to be a mint condition example. I can assure you, you wouldn't regret the purchase. I bought mine when everyone was going mad for Pre-charged. It's still shooting as beautifully as the day it was bought. £230.00 from Guns International at Barnsley. Best bargain ever! Best wishes. S

    Gentlemen. Hi. It is the week of my HW80's 12th Birthday! And what better than to take her out to the fields of my permission where I first got to grips with her back in 2000. Everything about this venerable old girl is a thing of beauty to my eyes. A full-length Weihrauch HW80 .22 rifle with a Webley Venomtech long, slimline silencer. That makes her long. Very long; as those who saw her at the Nottingham meet will attest! She has not been professionally tuned, polished and honed and serviced by Tony Wall at Sandwell Field Sports but, skilfully serviced by AndyFR1968 here,, and th

    If you had this rifle from new, would there be a still-valid warranty or Guarantee on your rifle from FX to repair this Josh?

    You've got the right answers from the other lads here Kurt. If the neighbours are using cannabis, you could try the pro-active approach and tell them YOU will call the police on their behalf, to inspect your target set-up, if that reassures them all is in safe order? Somehow, I don't think they'll take you up on it. Shoot on my friend. As long as you have every reasonable measure in place (backstops) to prevent shots going out of bounds and no risk of ricochet, you are well within your right to plink away in your back garden.

    They are a lovely rifle and one of the best sidelevers Diana made. Good solid rifle with a great trigger and a nice heft. The V-Mach kit sounds a brilliant refit for this rifle of your Stuart. Nice couple of Hare at decent range. Well shot! Simon
