  1. I've heard loads of bad reports of these too but I have had a pair of Grubbs for 3 years and had no issues at all, the soles are starting to wear thin on the heels from when out dog walking on concrete, then again, all my footwear wears the same way on the heels. the fronts of the neoprene are now starting to look like they may not hold up to water submersion from being clicked,pricked and ripped by brambles and gorze etc. though these have been well used they are still very comy. I would buy another pair if I could guarantee the same level of wear out of them. however, it seems they may
  2. I've done tonnes of the FX/Webley Axsors in the last 10 years or so and as long as it hasn't been stripped down by some idiot, it sould all work well with new seals fitted. A full service is £65 including all seals but can often require a new firing valve stem and seat too, I think they run at £35 for the additional parts if required so a worst case, all in job woulf be £100. I'm based in the North East but regularly travel the M6 and M62 corridors on my way to work in Chester so have plenty of chances to meet up with lads looking to save on postage costs. Paul
  3. The Streamline has a tube type cylinder as mentioned, this is removable from the block by simply unscrewing, however, the air must all be bled out first. I have just swapped my standard length Streamline tube for a Dreamline tube and a power plenum extension to get more shots and power (its FAC by the way and the standard tube only gave 40 to 50 shots) The cylinder must be removed to allow access to the firing valve and regulator anyway Earlier FX tubed rifles such as the Typhoon and Cyclone were "Hot Swappable" meaning you can unscrew the cylinder whilst it was still full of air and swap
  4. Hahahahah, pure quality! what a crank, its supposed to go on the inside.. ??
  5. Worked on a few of these, they are good guns with little following as they were rather expensive new, somewhat more than the average AA S410 i seem to remember. the valve parts are very similar to the FX built Webley Axsor guns but not directly interchangeable. I usually make a new valve stem and seat to fit the gun which fixes it. the problem often is down to valve and main springs not being matched so at lower pressures the hammer sits on the valve stem and manages to overcome the weak valve spring and the pressure in the cylinder, which means the air all jets out. this is particularly
  6. I have recently picked up the compact .22 version for ease of shooting from the truck. If I were to pick fault it would only be the feeling of too much flex in the shroud and moderator. I opted to turn down another cz barrel and make it a couple of inches longer anyway so put a carbon shroud mod of my own on it, much more secure, maybe as quiet? Accuracy... should be brilliant as the consistency over the chrono is great and I know the barrel has always produced good results on other rifles it's been fitted to. I just need to get some range time and practice with it. I was impressed b
  7. A pm usually grabs my attention, I tend to be a bit busy and end up working or out shooting till late and rarely log onto the forums..?
  8. Thanks Jim, However, you may have heard some truth, not the full truth... I am still doing the odd repairs but as I have a full time job working out of town, getting the time is the problem. Weekends are still okay for getting work done but it could be a little slower than was the norm in getting your guns back to you. Paul
  9. Yeah, got to remember that people might have a .25 airgun so they make sure the mods are suitable. Thats often the downfall on the BSA VC moderator. One thing to bear in mind Si... when I spoke to my FEO with regards to the repairs on airguns, they are happy for me to NOT have an RFD to facilitate that, in fact they said they would not give me an RFD simply for repairs at the time, however, if I started to manufacture parts that fall under the categorys covered under the VCR act, then I must be a RFD. This includes, all barrel machining to fit a rifle, all moderators and any other pressur
  10. I'm in need of a new mod for my .223 Remmy 700. It has a heavy mod on currently which has some gas cutting to the baffles so is effectively at the end of its service life. I've been looking at the DPT mods, very light. After seeing and hearing a mates .243 with the same mod. Thats what I'll be getting. www.dpteuro.co.uk
  11. Ooops... I've had to rectify this issue a few times when other people have managed to do the same. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO ROD THE PELLETS OUT WITH THE MAG IN PLACE, that will only damage the mag, the loading bush and or the bolt. You need to remove the magazine to allow the gun to be stripped down so there is a catch 22 element here, honestly, they can be a nightmare at times. Grit your teeth and use a little extra force on the bolt and it will clear enough to allow the mag to be removed, it may need a little wiggle and can even require a tap from a soft faced mallet but the pellets
  12. Very nice mate, I used to have a 35E and loved it but it wasnt destined to stay, to be honest the 95 wasnt either but I had to have something for when air and bullets run out... haha
  13. I'm 42 and have only recently joined here due to finding out about it... lol I've been a member on other forums for a good while now, under the same name for around 10 years and under other names before that but due to a ban or two from (you'll guess where if you've been about yourself?) I stopped using that name.
  14. Well I didnt know that... The older ones I've had through my hands were all very well made and refined copies of the old Logun Rifle platform. They were nice rifles too. Anyway, back to topic eh. Spring guns wasn't it.... lol
