  1. Hi , just wondering if anyone knows where I can get one from as I can’t find any online, not bothered if it’s second hand probably be better as it will look similar age to gun , it’s for an old bsa lightning, I know they don’t do much for the noise but helps when cocking and it looks right too . Any help greatly appreciated
  2. I have a s510 .22 fac a very reliable and accurate rifle using jsb exact 18 grain . only thing is there very long , like a musket , shot count not great either I fill mine to 190 bar and when the gauge gets to just under 150 I refill and get about 30 proper accurate shots , also I don't bother with the power adjuster .
  3. have contacted tom too but he dosent have the one I need in stock either , will just have to be patent until a new batch get made. I might just think sod it and send it to get tuned
  4. unfortunately no one has the type I need in stock so will probably will have to wait for their cnc machinist to make a new batch . air tech do a hardened chrome steel one but there quite expensive ( may have to bite the bullet ) cheers for advice
  5. nice what ammo you using? I fancy one too in 700mm slug barrel like the guys down in south Africa use but will have to sell a kidney first to pay for it
  6. hi all I'm after a stainless pellet probe fo my bsa scorpion .177 as mine has been back to bsa for a new one as the nickel plating just peeled off and the its done it again thats two probes on the space of 12 months. had a look on xtx air website but does not have any .177 right hand in stock so was just asking if there is any where else I can get one from or just wait till xtx gets them back in ? don't really understand why bsa use nickel plated probes as there rubbish and I bet stainless ones wouldn't cost that much more to produce . don't know if any one else on h
  7. Do fancy one though , in .177 just to cheese him off
  8. Maybe just ask for a crate of beer or a bottle of single malt , like I said I'm not bothered about the money just think he wants some way of saying thanks
  9. hi everyone been shooting over what I call one of my posh garden permissions for just over a year now controlling rabbits and the owner said he wants to pay me for it as he says I've done a really good job of keeping numbers down , I told him wasn't really that bothered and enjoyed the sport and getting a few bunnies for the pot but he has insisted he pays me and has asked how much I want but don't have a clue what to ask , should I charge for my time or how many rabbits I shoot , what do you guys think ? cheers
  10. Try the air arms 585 moderator easy get one hole groups at 50 yrds . Funny that bisley Magnums Don´t group with mine the 18 grain jsb's work great the 15 grain are ok but groups open up past 60 yrds
  11. as the q-tec moderator is calibre specific and attaches to the shroud not the barrel there could be problems with alignment , if the barrel and shroud are not properly aligned and with less clearance due to the smaller hole the pellets will clip the moderator which will explain why it won't group with the moderator on , on mine I use the 585 mod which I believe you can use up to .25 calibre I have no issues with my .22. have a look on you tube at air arms hunting south Africa there he tests the q-tec on his .22 ultimate rip-off FAC and in the comments he has had the same problem but solved it
  12. Like rez says ditch the q-Tec , I use the air arms 585 moderator with mine with no issues and is very quiet.
  13. was the gun empty when you took it out , try cocking the gun first then fill .
  14. easy flip a coin heads for the 100 and tails for the 100 the s510 is a excellent rifle and own one myself but like the lads say the 100 is the standard bearer and as you put it you get 2 mags and a moderator nuff said.
  15. Go tx 200 or hw 97 but go for .177 shoulder both to find what fits you best
  16. Think monsters are designed for fac rated guns. Not tried them yet I find the Jsb exact heavy at 18 grain work well for me in .22
  17. as you want the gun for hunting what about a break barrel , quicker and easier to load than a under lever, the hw98 is a supremely accurate rifle. just a thought
  18. If you want a decent spring rifle then I suggest a hw 99 is a good starting point but the hw95 is excellent get in .177 but you need to up your budget a little
  19. my advice would be stick to the task in hand keeping the rabbits in check as the woodcocks are not a pest causing damage to the golf course which is why your there, keep the course owner happy therefore keep your perm
  20. save more money , don't get the supersport if it's anything like the lightning which I think there based on the same it will be shite at fac rating I have a lightning and it's shite at sub 12ftlbs , definitely go for hw80 or tx if you really want a fac springer you won't regret spending the extra money once you have one
  21. +1 for the hw or go pcp . I have a 30ftlb pcp no different to shoot than a sub 12ftlb one just get a louder thwack as lead hit's head . Also have to be more aware about backstops go straight through rabbits even past 85 yrds
  22. +1 for the garden gun but won't be worth it as need a shot gun certificate maybe try a pistol or lower power gun like a crossman rat catcher in .22
  23. Did the other guy drive a Cadillac escalade with blacked out Windows .
  24. If you buy cheap you buy twice . I would spend my money on a Harris
