    I have to admit that I would prefer the pull through method but am somewhat nervous about this bloody seal, just how easy is it to dislodge. I did make a pull through ready to use out of fly fishing line and bought these from ebay http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/191283237819?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT How do you know if the seal has become dislodged, does it just come out or what and how easy is it to sort should the worse happen, never had to think about this sort of thing before.

    When I bought my HW100KT a couple of weeks ago, I was advised to clean the barrel as there may be some protective coating in the barrel. I was given thoughts on a pull through and cleaning pellets but with the HW I had to be careful not to pull the seal out of position as it is sited in the barrel so I phoned Hull Cartridge to see what they advised. They said to be VERY VERY careful with pull through cleaning and suggested cleaning pellets every time. The method was to spray 4 or 5 pellets with Napier Power Airgun oil, and fill the rest of the mag with dry pellets. Remove the mod and fire

    I do a lot of lure fishing for pike, perch, chub etc, in fact most fish and this bugger is the my best perch by a mile. A .177 lime green 3.5'' Kopyto soft plastic pellet got him Phil

    It seems to work fine although having never used this method, it took a few mins to sort it out. Open new google page' photobucket' and either log in or register For those who have photobucket, go to library and select your photo by tapping the image. tap on 'share' , get links. data page opens, select IMG, select 'copy' go back to forum page and keep finger on your post, 'paste' will appear, press paste and your photo will be transferred to your post. I use photobucket for all my forum posts no matter which forum it is and I am an admin member on 3 forums along with membersh

    Have you tried using 'Photobucket' on your phone to load photos, it should work. Phil

    I used to be a mad keen wildfowler many moons ago when the east coast marshes were open and trust me actually hitting the ducks and geese was not an easy task as you were shooting with no backdrop to know distances, usually in an uncomfortable position in the mud hide. Any birds taken were WELL earned. I knew two guys with punt guns and as said earlier, originally they were a means of scraping a living or at least something to eat for a poor family on the wash and I know for a fact that on most occasions the pound of lead shot had to be fired before getting back to shore as they were muzzl

    Do you think there is enough pressure to really do that. If that is the case is there any reason for people to sift through tins selecting the best pellets. I have no idea, just a thought. Phil
  13. philpot
    To say how popular the AA fields are, they do have a fair amount of damaged skirts in every tin. I am going to get some sample packs from another forum as one of the guys has a wide array of pellets to choose from, nice bloke as well. Phil

    I am also on a quest to get a range finder and have found a couple that seem to fit the bill, one being a day/night finder. The first one does not say what the minimum range is but having spoken to the seller, I am advised that it starts at 3mt which sounds perfect. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/262094722766?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT The Hawk 400 has gone up in price with a shop price tag of around £134 but the 400 is not waterproof. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Hawke-400m-Compact-Digital-Laser-Range-Finder-Golf-Hunting-Shooting-6x-Zoom-/380672494262?has

    Are you going to sell the standard cylinder once you have the A & M cylinder and if so where will you sell it and how much. I want to get the A & M and am told the original cylinder will sell but no idea where to sell it and why would anyone want it. Just wondered. Phil

    I had a look at those Cragman but whilst it was not in front of me, it doesn't seem to be in the same league as the Primos trigger unit. If you watch the youtube footage, you can see just how good these are in terms of flexibility and speed of setting up. I think I will pay the extra but also after a range finder............................ooooooooh which one first... Phil
  20. philpot
    Yes mate it is now on the list, new gun--tick, new chrono--tick, range finder and NV being looked into so the list is getting smaller. I thought my clay shooting cost me a lot, however once bought, these things will not need replacing for a while............................I hope. As a matter of interest Mark, where did you buy the trigger stand from, best price I have found is £105 Phil

    They look a seriously good bit of kit for an ole tart with eye sight that gets no better, hearing fading and knees that now crack.........................this might be quite helpful, either that or turn the gun on myself. 30 in my head-------90 when I get out of bed-------------in truth in the middle+3. Prone position is great, just getting back up is the bugger, kneeling, not bad but need a chair to climb on me feet------------------okay not quite but you know where I am coming from, trigger tripod could be a godsend.... Phil

    Just looking at those Trigger sticks Mark, which one did you get, mono, bipod or tripod. The tripod will be very stable but just wondered how stable the other two are. Phil

    I have said it before and probably say it again , what is the point of .20 when you have very good heavy pellets in .177 and some very good pellets light pellets in .22 If you look at five words in my post----------PURE SPECULATION ON MY PART. I was not suggesting we all go and buy a .20 cal gun, simply bringing it into the discussion. AND I HAVE ANSWERED YOUR POST ABOUT 20 CAL IMO Okay, fair comment. Please allow me to dig a little further into this out of ignorance not trying to be an arse but by using lighter .22 or heavier .177 pellets in order to g

    Forgive my ignorance but with a .177, if zero is done at 36yds, 9 - 41yds will be bang on the cross hairs or have I misunderstood what you said. if that is the case, I will not bother with 'Chairgun Pro' which suits me down to the ground, not good with computer software and not familiar with .177 YET.
