after some help in the North East

[John-B 4]

Recently bought a Theoben Fenman, now I know the last owner had a bit of a tamper with it, he says it is now at "about 10-10.5 ft/lbs" now i'm unsure, does anyone have a chrono so they can test it for me? also does anyone have a bore sighter as the scope is allover the place? I don't want to take them away I could meet up somewhere and you can check for me, also if the gun is over the limit how would I turn it down???

DONT TAMPER WITH IT

 

until you have a chrono

 

i understand what you are saying john....you can buy a chrono for around £35 quid new.......and a seccond hand one will be cheaper.

 

hopefully someone near you will be able to help........try posting in the rimfire section aswell as the lads in there use them aswell.

 

cheers

I will never tamper with a gun, i've owned quite a few air rifles in the past and never touched them, it's just with all the stuff going on here lately i don't want to be another statistic.

 

i wouldn't know where to start looking for a chronograph or how they work, or even which one to buy, which is why i'd like someone to show me first, then i can experiment with different pellets and craracteristics.

sorry john...wasn't saying you would tamper.........didnt come across as i meant it....lol

crombo chrono £39.99.....well worth it and as you say you can try lots of different pellets.

 

they fit on the muzzle of you gun............so you can only test at that point.

 

for a lot more money you can get a skan pro....which will allow you test at different yardage.

 

good luck

Hi

Why not pop along to a local gun shop and have it checked out. My local gunsmith charged me £6 to pump up my HW90 and I got a printed chrono report.

Champion, I know the shop well, but didn't fancy walking round Newcastle with a gun bag, do you know if bradford & stalkers do them???

Cheers mate, gonna try my local gun shop first if not thanks for the offer and I would happily drive down to the borp, think it's only about 40 mins from sunderland...

[SEAN3513 7]

just be carefull john if you go to a gun shop.

 

if it is over the limit as an RFD they are duty bound to confiscate your gun and notify the police.

 

they MIGHT be understanding and lower it to the legal limit, but, if you get a jobs worth........it could get messy !!!!

 

cheers mate

Get the combro John. Mine has been shot and was still working fine and for 40 quid, Well you can't go wrong. End of the day It could end up saving your arse There's 3 on ebay too If that helps. Why not just zero It normally insted of trying to get hold of a bore sighter?
