I had exact same problem with a wolverine 2 hilite, thing was the biggest piece of junk I ever owned, very disappointed with it. fortunatly, I know the history of my regal from new, and can say hand on heart it's never missed a beat, all it's had done to it since new is replaced probe seals, in the breech. 1 Quote Link to post
pianoman 3,587 Posted January 24, 2018 Report Share Posted January 24, 2018 It took having a regulator made for my Regal and a few other tweeks before it turned into the brilliant rifle it is now. Last year I tried to sell Helen's Huntsman Classic .177. Absolutely stunning rifle with not a thing wrong with it and less than half a tin fired through it. Nobody wanted to know. Best bargain someone missed out on. Looks like I might keep it and put a left hand stock on it. It will be perfect for shooting around farm buildings for rats and ferrals. Quote Link to post

I don't have a sense of smell 90% of the time but every now and then I'll get a wiff of something and I have to say, when i've been at Rabids and caught that coal smell on the air, it reminds me of being outdoors as a kid when we used to visit the village my aunty lived in, wandering around the fields and woods near her house and seeing my Nana and Grandad in Yorkshire, the whole village smelled of it. 1 Quote Link to post

Slightly off key here, apologies Op'er. Might be seeing you then at the new IBCC thats opening on canwick hill soon? Just done the signage, exhibition and so on there and every time I set foot in the door, I expect to see you... for some reason Let me know when your planning on going, IF your planning on going. Exhibition is superb. The whole building is. The memorial is the key though, lots of names, big old spire, Lancaster wing span size... Your paintings would sell there, just to let you know.

philpot 5,002 Posted January 26, 2018 Report Share Posted January 26, 2018 Are you producing the mugs and keyrings Simon as there is a good exhibition on at the NEC soon called 'Sign and Digital' well worth a visit. I have just given away my mug print press, long story. Phil Quote Link to post
