mark williams 7,558 Posted October 11, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2016 Yes mate, I want to let her go for what she is, - an old classic in fine order that will put my hunting mind/ habits set back in place. I`m hoping the classic route is going to sharpen me, sharper than sharp again.. Quote Link to post

Greyman 28,628 Posted October 14, 2016 Report Share Posted October 14, 2016 (edited) Perhaps we will be needing a 'Classic Guns' section soon. Hope you enjoy it Mark. Phil Hmm, there's a thought I sold my old Mercury Challenger to a biker - I might go see if he still lives at the same address but, it was 20 yrs ago. I'd love to have that one back. sorry double post Edited October 14, 2016 by Greyman Quote Link to post

I'd love to have that one back. never had a challenger so I made one even better, it bangs out 11.5lb with five coils removed from the spring I,ve honed the cylinder made a ptfe piston head,top hat ,Spring guide and opened up the breech port, it was about 2mm it's now tapered from inside from around 6mm down to 3.5mm i also cut the barrel down and recrowned it then fitted a vortex silencer it is smooth and quick and at 25 meters it's almost pellet on pellet, I take it hunting more than my pcp, because it's such a nice gun, I never had a clue what I was doing and done it all from books and mags I have read with nothing more than a cordless drill and a few bits from a car shop and wickes 5 Quote Link to post

I will have my Challenger Quote Link to post
Greyman 28,628 Posted October 14, 2016 Report Share Posted October 14, 2016 Thanks for the kind words, To be fair it was so knackered when I got it, there was nothing to lose, I might not have been so bold if it was worth saving, the metalwork was rusty, the barrel bent and it was doing around 6ft,lb it was also given me free, it was good to try before I try it on an hw80 which I,ve always fancied doing, cheers 3 Quote Link to post
Rez 4,961 Posted October 14, 2016 Report Share Posted October 14, 2016 Better image? Looks like a rifle I might look out for... Always wanted something along the lines of an Airsporter carbine... And yours looks quite like one. Quote Link to post
