secretagentmole 1,701 Posted July 17, 2012 Report Share Posted July 17, 2012 Er Java, you can just flip the bolt on an SE straight round, so that it looks like a proper left hand rifle you know, that is what we did for Mary,,, Quote Link to post
java53 30 Posted July 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2012 I you are right mole i just did not want to take allan bolt out in case some thing came loose even better know atb Quote Link to post
secretagentmole 1,701 Posted July 17, 2012 Report Share Posted July 17, 2012 Place gun on bipod on white sheet, if allen bolt falls out, easily found! Quote Link to post
Lewis Ste 245 Posted July 17, 2012 Report Share Posted July 17, 2012 Cheer java thanks for the info, my s16 needs a service then after than I might look to swap or sell the gun because I have saved up around £250-300 so should be able to get a tidy little gun with it all, I was thinking of then ultra, scorpion or possibly r10 if a cheap enough one comes up then aa s410 but hopefully get a tidy scope with it as well all before the October meet Lewis Quote Link to post
robwelsh 354 Posted July 17, 2012 Report Share Posted July 17, 2012 I was looking for a brocock contour super six too..a guy I know says its better than s200 and scorpion , he's owned all three, infact he might be on here. He got the edgun bullpup thing all camo dipped, del his name is. That's what made me decide on it. Did u clean the barrel when u had it java? My gun was on 10.6 cleaned barrel and it went to 11.2 , now after a good few tins its 11.9 soon to be turned down. You've just put doubt in my head now lol Quote Link to post

Probuk 93 Posted July 17, 2012 Report Share Posted July 17, 2012 Nyab Nyab Nyab....All Power crazed up, crap rifle Anyway, All this chit chat about crappy inferior rifle's. Just buy a Flipping decent rifle for crying out loud. HW100 .177. Job done Quote Link to post
java53 30 Posted July 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2012 Got a real rifle brummie bsa supersport 22 with lightning barrel and silencer lol.make that 2 Quote Link to post
robwelsh 354 Posted July 17, 2012 Report Share Posted July 17, 2012 Well I had the impression brocock rifles were good for the price, and been told their better than s200 and scorpion etc, reviews seem good too. Hw100's have their fair share of problems also. Power I don't think is an issue. When he got it back it was still ONLY doing 11.4 ? So what's the matter with that, its only shy couple of fps to the 12ft lb limit anyway. My gun is only 3-4 fps legal. Soon as I get my car Friday, I'm having it put back to 11ft lb. How many pellets were put through it java? Pcps still need to be run in, as did mine. Probuk you could buy to brococks for the price of one 100. This is the only bad thing iv heard about contours. I suppose il have to try it for myself lol Quote Link to post

Air gun makers in Britain have to be very carefull that their products leaving the factories are within the legal power outputs that the law allows!.unless regulated PC weapons are very easy to exceed such parometers as it stands! So speaking for myself I think you was making a fuss about nothing! Thank your lucky stars that you are not handicapped like other shooters on the continent who are limited to SIX FPE on the airweapons they are allowed to shoot. Quote Link to post
java53 30 Posted July 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2012 (edited) I only got 4 or 5 shoots at that power then it would drop back down again.May be if i stuck with it might of got better but when the mag started that was it. Edited July 17, 2012 by java53 Quote Link to post
