Skot Ruthless Teale 1,701 Posted September 2, 2012 Report Share Posted September 2, 2012 i didnt read it as "oh look at what i can do" i read it as, someone ripped you off and took the p1ss out of you, and you made the best out of a bad situation, by having the know how and skills to sort it out. thats how i read it mate.. you still shouldnt have had to stay up all night sorting it out.. if the guy said it was in good condition and it clearly wasnt then i agree you were 'ripped off' and the guy should be ashamed of hiself Link to post
thursodog 353 Posted September 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2012 Well then Chris, it seems to me the guy did you a wrong here. No excuse. It's plain to see if this HW80 was in dire condition or good. To describe a rifle in the condition you found it in, as "Good" is just not right. That aside now, I think you have the making of a great service business to the shooting community around you Chris. The sheer beauty of a spring rifle like these Weihrauchs, is that they are totally self-contained and very easy to comprehend and work on. And they are real quality. There's only a few simple parts make them all up. I know little about PCPs but, I remember Davy (T63) once telling me there's not much to them either. As well as spring air rifle Is there deer shooting near your home in Scotland? Think of the rifle servicing there must be in your part of the world. And shotgun for that matter. Once you make a fine job for someone he'll be back and his friends get to know. This forum could be a great help for you. You seem like a warm and kindly man anyone would be proud to do business with. I only wish we lived close by! regards and best wishes my friend. Simon Again many thanks Simon your one of the most inspiring people on here and a true gentleman, its obvious when you write about your air rifle experience, everyone including me listens. I've always fancied a little shop of my own doing gun and fishing gear repairs but i've just not had the confidence in the past to go out and put myself out there, thats beginning to change though, instead of blending into the background i'm starting to come out of my shell alot more so its hopefully onwards and upwards. We have loads of shooting and fishing up here. Roe, reds, rabbits, tons of geese and ducks and plenty of vermin. Salmon, seatrout, brown trout etc. I do a bit of work on Rods and i'm tinkering with guns just now but eager to learn more. It would be great to meet you and watch how a master shoots. All the best mate Chris. All the best 1 Link to post

77 si 21 Posted September 2, 2012 Report Share Posted September 2, 2012 Sorry to hear that you got stung pal, but a top job of getting the rifle back to its original glory. Good write up as well. Link to post

I see the rifle section has done a post on show us yer guns with plenty of eye candy getting posted, rims and centre fires just don't get me going like air guns though, even though springers are my passion (especially target shooting along with hunting) i love looking at pcps (i enjoy hunting with them too) some of them are works of art i reckons What you say we start up a post on our beloved guns and drool over whatever anyone else posts. All the best pal, see you on the happy posts elsewhere. Tom Link to post
