Gone Retro?


Recommended Posts


Please make sure nyou ram the bolt fully forward as with mine, I didn't, The gun just clicked, I cocked it again, same thing! I wasn't pushing the bolt hard enough and filled the breech/barrel with crammed in pellets! :icon_eek:

 

I had to make a screw ended rod to use like a corkscrew to get them out!! :icon_redface:

My bugger leaked all the time I had it, I couldn't hear it when I bought it as i've worked in a heavy foundry all my like so i'm mostly deaf, The wife asked why it was hissing when I bought it!! I shoulda gone back and wrapped it round the sellers neck!! :censored::censored:

 

Ended up selling it as a project with a big loss :blink: I bought a proper S-16 case for it too which i've never seen since, Probably up the loft somewhere!!

Thanks for the advice John, I've done some reading up on them so I've been prepared lol, however that is a proper blocked barrel mate Got it to the range today and spent some proper time shooting it, I think I might have a good one John, fingers crossed.

I'm interested to know if you've still got the S16 Gun Bag though John?

I looked all over the house for it years ago, It was brand new in a brown cardboard box, No idea what happened to it, It was still in the box as I never used the S-16 (Was leaking terribly :cray: )

S'ppose I may have sold it as I knew that I wouldn't be needing it :angry2:

I got one of these when they first arrived on the scene years ago. I kept it for about a week and swapped it for an AAs410.

Bit too James Bond for me. The lad I swapped it with loved it. He used to get this evil look and glint in his eyes as he was assembling it.
