    Sean, is paypal gift payment okay for you, if so, please PM me your account details and I will make payment. If you prefer another method, let me know. I would ask you to hold on to the scope for now as we are off to Suffolk early Monday morning for the rest of the week and I will give you a nod when we are back to take delivery. Phil

    Just bought some 0000 wire wool. Now the tung oil, I guess a 250ml bottle is more than enough, is there any particular brand better than others, Liberon, Rustins and Bestwood brands are on ebay, are any of these any good. Forgive my ignorance Jimmy but what is the difference between Tung oil and linseed oil. Phil

    Good of you to take the time out Carl to respond to this post when you have important issues there. Phil

    Thanks Sean, but I am wanting the Lite version 3-12x44 as I want to keep the weight down where I can. I have an MTC Genesis 5-20x50 which is superb and to be honest not sure what to do with that one. I bought a Lite last week to go on my Ultra which I am really pleased with so my thought was to move in this direction for other guns as well. I popped on my NiteSite Viper this morning to check fit due to the Lite having a chunky recticle focus wheel and not only does it fit very well but I get a far better image than any other scope. Thank you for the thought Sean. Phil

    Matt Manning in one of his 'The Airgun Show' videos was showing him shoot quite a few pure white pigeons that were living in one of his farmyard perm barns so I am assuming that as they have become feral, you can shoot them as vermin. Phil

    Does anyone know of a Mamba Lite 3-12x44 in any RFD new or s/h. I know they are no longer available from MTC but after just missing another on ebay earlier tonight, I am searching the net but nothing jumping out as yet. If you see one or have one to sell, please PM me. Phil

    I have been doing a little research into this subject for my Ultra and the word amongst people in the know is that XTX huma reg is about as good as it gets. I know Airtech regs are spot on as well but Carl is going away to China on family matters so perhaps not so straight forward. Cloverleaf on AGF is actually fitting a Huma reg on his AA rifle which might give you a bit more insight and XTX has full instructions on how to fit that a few guys have said are very good. Phil

    RIGHT WITH OFFERS LIKE THIS, I WOULD BE AN EVEN BIGGER FOOL THAN I AM ALREADY NOT TO TAKE THEM UP.............................. I am Sheffield born and bred moved over to the coast 20 years ago and come over to Sheffield to see friends anyway so no problem there at all . I will send you a PM Charlie with my mobile number and if you let me have yours, we can arrange something. Please tell me what I need to buy and from where with any links and I will order the stuff and get it all in ready. Jimmy, I do love you mate, you are always welcome to come and stay, we have a spare bedroom i

    Phil if you really wanted to try with the tx after giving it a tune, send it me and I will do it for you free of charge, I personally dont like the slow firing cycle on the new tx its a little slow for me, I prefer a quicker lock time, I would think you would much prefer it with a TBT short stroke kit installed, there really is not a huge amount to do to improve the internals of a tx the piston runs on synthetic bearings, however, a good spring ends polish,and a proper re-lube combined with the short stroke kit changes the feel quite a bit, anyway the offer is there mate. That is a very k

    No not given up yet Jimmy, not in love with it but more than that just having a laugh. I do think I made a mistake buying a springer to be honest, I am just not having a 'bond' with the gun and would never take it hunting. It is a challenge on the range and that is all it would ever get used for. When it was first delivered and I opened the box to see this super dark lump of wood which as already said on another post, really p1ssed me off after seeing and testing a lighter wood TX, as all the demo guns were that I saw. I couldn't walk away from it as it was ordered in for me, had I seen it
  15. philpot
    This may have been done but if not it would be my first course of action. Forget zero at the moment We need to establish if you, the scope or the gun is playing tricks here. Due to it being a springer, you cannot completely lock the gun in a fixed position but we can still go some length to test out where a possible fault lay. Mark a 5mm spot on plain sheet of paper and at 20mts with the cross hairs on the spot, shoot about 10 pellets at that spot. What we are looking for is to see if the gun is shooting a good group with scope and gun set up as it is. You will need to support the

    Quote....... he did come up with a very good deal with a wildcat NOW WE ARE TALKING, NOT A FCUKING SPRINGERRRRRRRRRRRRR got to have one and get shut of this springer. Phil

    You know what Si, I can see totally where you are coming from and seriously wished I had gone down that route instead of an under lever, ah well, good for you matey, enjoy. Phil

    Can't believe how light the stock is after a wash Jimmy. Well I'm off to Suffolk again next week but I might try this when I get back, it might even make me start to love her a bit......................perhaps. Phil
  19. philpot
    That will be because they ARE the same pellet as Bis magnums, H&N make em for Bisley, give the extreme's a go too, bloody deadly in my .177 Brocock. Not the same pellet, they have a hollow domed head. Phil
  20. philpot
    It is quite strange with these stocks, all the demo guns at the fairs have a superb light walnut and then when they come, they are all bloody dark. I know you told me what to do Jimmy in order to make it lighter but I'm just not in love with it..................................fcuking springers...........................bahumbug. Phil

    Not me Jimmy........................................I AM an old classic Phil

    Yes the link is on but not a photo just the link. I use photobucket from the phone very rarely but it can be done. I have PB on both the computer and phone, quite often taking photo's on the phone and installing them to PB actually on the phone then download to the forum if needed. Once you get used to it, very easy and quick to use and you finish up with an actual photo rather than a link such as Phil

    Why don't you try using photobucket, it's free, easy to use and works on every forum that I have been involved in. Phil

    The tune was well worth it Mark, good on yer mate. Phil
