A Bloody Good Day At Work

[webster 90]

being a joiner i get too meet some interesting folks today we got sent to an old guys house to fit a front door not a big job but its a friday and i like an early finish on fridays , anyway got chatting to the old guy ( mick ) about motorbikes as i spotter he had an old british bike in his garage after a while we got onto are other hobbys and started talking about air guns , he said he had bought one a few years ago but couldnt hit bugger all with it so thew it in the back of his shed . we finnished the job and before we left the loon got a 4 pack of miller and he wandered to his shed as i was getting the rifle , now last time i got given a a air rifle i was full of excitement till i was handed a relum telly , this time i was alot happier

its a bloody tx woohoo

 

not in the best shape and kicking like a mule , got home about 11am and put it threw my chrono . 14.5 super domes at 745 feet per second , putting it bluntly i shat myself , 17.87 flb , its now stripped the spring chopped and running at a happy 10.7 flb as you can see i had to take heeps off the spring

 

its all , the stock is a bloody mess so its gonna need stripping and sanding but i have got the action looking better

... this is it for now stock will have to wait just need to get it zeroed and bring on the bunnys ,

 

 

need more days like today

Nice one bud NOW GET THAT STOCK SANDED and it will look like new atvbmac

[webster 90]

not sure where to start with the stock dont want too lose the checkering

[bigmac 97kt 13,823]

If the checkering is not that bad just sand around it or do the checkering by hand may take a bit longer but will have the affect you want go on do it you now you want to atvb mac

Nice little touch there pal.

[Craig Fosse 286]

Get some electrical tape mate and put it over the checkering, that way if you accidentally hit the cheering I'll hit the electrical tape instead

[Skot Ruthless Teale 1,701]

nice one!!

wish someone would just give me a tx!!

 

well done mate. get it sanded down

[andyfr1968 772]

Result!!

 

As mentioned above, mask the checkering off if you want to sand it down then Nitromorse it then scrub it out with a toothbrush. Or just Nitromorse the whole thing and take out and damage where needed.

[gurtwurz 792]

Or leave it as it is, and you've a top quality, accurate as hell all weather gun that you can shoot in any conditions and cos it was a freebie it won't break your heart!

 

Maybe thats why no one gives me rifles lol

[deanothehunter 34]

Nice one, my only freebie i was given was an old smk custom lion what an old pig that was, i could throw a pellet faster than this old p.o.s. could spit out or should that be dribble out the end like an ant coming out of hibernation

[valboskie 39]

I wish I had luck like that lol

[webster 90]

[Craig Fosse 286]

looks spot on mate....

 

In future if you want to remove the satin etc from the chequering without harming it, use Nitromors on it, agitate with a toothbrush, then for the final bits use and iron and a cloth and steam it out
