  1. I had a Rapid .22 fac and was guided Air Arms Heavy at 18gr and whilst they are made by JSB, their performance was better so if you stay with pellets, try them out. Phil
  2. I expected nothing less John, a collection to make us drool, I hear you bought the house next door to keep all your guns in ................................................ ? The Crossman would be my route as well SD. Phil
  3. Well I don't need to comment Mitch regarding Sportsman other than to say they are always posting guns for sale on Gun Trader which are not available and have no delivery dates. I challenged them and was told they don't put the adverts on, Gun Trader pop them on without asking .................................... utter boll0cks they should stick with Gaystate as they are both well matched.......................sh1t companies to deal with with no integrity. Phil
  4. My god Alsone you do take things too literally and to a greater extent miss the point of the comments. FX Impact has taken the hunting market by storm all over the world and become THE long range hunter in fac format, companies such as Gaystate cannot compete and so make a gun which is very much like the impact in order to try and take FX buyers and in the process copied points that make the Impact so bloody good. Gaystate in it's own usual manner have put rubbish electronics into a gun which is not needed, for example the silly chrono built into the mod FFS. If they simply manuf
  5. I am not saying Gaystate should not make a bulpup, I said they have copied the Impact and patents are nowhere near ending. Phil
  6. I agree totally however I can see the fee if not linked to a co-terminus license with fac or agc being an attractive income but it will do nothing to control airguns and the whereabouts of the vast majority of airguns is unknown and will stay that way I am certain. There was a chap who worked for me whose 21 year old son was killed by a freak accident using an air rifle some 10 years ago which was tragic but the chap fully understood it was an accident and didn't agree that a license would have saved his son's life. Phil
  7. Thank heavens, common sense prevails Phil
  8. Well don't go into the light Phill, always look away from Gaystate or you will lose a couple of grand on worthless rubbish so DON'T LOOK INTO THE LIGHT ? Phil
  9. AND...................it won't either, work very well or for very long. Same old crap in a fancy package trying to pinch a potential FX buyer.
  10. After loads of critics saying how awful they are, a number of companies have done there best to copy them and now Gaystate have jumped on the bandwagen with the all new 'Delta Wolf' which will most likely be a load of crap but until everyone has sung it's praises (those who get one for free of course) until of course the market as a whole finds out that like most Gaystates it is not so good but we will see. Well it's in this months Airgun Shooter magazine https://www.myfavouritemagazines.co.uk/field-sports/airgun-shooter-magazine-subscription/ I wait with baited breath..........
  11. An airgun license for england has been talked about for a couple of years but I am not sure this will go any further as it was a huge mess in Scotland but there again look at the poison dwarf who is in charge of scotland. It is a huge task in England to impliment a license because there are thousands of guns around the country with no record of where they are. Personally, I have no issues in having a license as I have both shotgun and firearms licenses so one more is not a problem. Phil
  12. Have you fitted the power plenum Si. Phil
  13. Not sure if Ant Supplies is actually open of business. Phil
  14. Here you go Jimmy, there are several adjustable elevation / windage torch mounts which should do the job. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Opticfire-Hunting-lamp-gun-scope-torch-mount-dovetail-weaver-picatinny-rail/162596985454?hash=item25db891a6e:g:TLMAAOSwlLBdAmxm On the torch I sent you, the zoom is altered buy unscrewing the lens unit to run from flood to spot beam. Phil
  15. Nice one DB, must admit that I really love shooting pigeon with the Impact and even though I will still use the shotgun over decoys, the .25 hitting a woodie is a great sound. Phil
  16. Glad you saw the light, fac or sub12 Phil
  17. It may get slighty more fpe over time but as already said, 11,2 is all you need matey. HW guns come with a grease coating in the barrels to stop from rusting and now you have removed the coating from what you said so just use the gun, it will be fine. Phil
  18. Don't worry Mitch we know you are getting to that age so I will pm you all the medication details so the others won't know........................................ Phil
  19. There are a couple of suppliers who sell parts for older guns, Chambers and John Knib and even if they are not listed, it is worth a phone call as they may be able to direct you or get the part for you. Chambers https://www.gunspares.co.uk/categories/23960/Airgun-spares/ John Knib http://www.airgunspares.com/store/department/64/AIRGUN-SPARES/ they carry Falcon parts so your best bet. Phil
  20. It certainly looks in good order and FREE, a winner all the way in that case just need to put in a load of practice in order to get the best out of a springer....................trust me, I know. Phil
  21. Oh been on those a few years along with glucosamine sulphate all for joints although whilst I am 30 in my head, I look and feel about 90 as I get out of bed and a founder member of the old tarts club ................................................. the tablets don't work ? Phil
  22. Very pleased for you SD............................the shooting wasn't bad either with that ole thunderbus. ? Phil
  23. Nothing like team work so well done to you both. Phil
