Cheaper on ebay
-
There are so many different pieces of kit for this job Phill, this one is a basic at that price but if you pay a little more you can set it in position to read the wind speed whilst the read out is on your phone or pay more and the head will rotate to catch the wind without moving the body of the unit. You have to bear in mind Phill that you already know which way the wind is blowing before you start so holding the unit or placing the unit to suit your needs. This is a way to very cheaply read the wind speed, chuck more dosh at it and get a more advanced unit. Anyway, whe

OK mate, I will have a look later but not much cash around at the moment after buying the HW99 last week so it will have to wait but as and when I do get one, I will ask you for some guidence on fitting. Phil

Which one did you go for Mitch.

Stroll on Mitch, thats quite impressive. I watched how to install one but it looks a bit tricky to say the least. Phil

.25 in fac is fantastic out to in excess of 100mts using AA Fields but I have never seen the appeal in sub12 although I think there is someone on here who uses one with great success. Phil

Is this the one Mark. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BRUNOX-TURBO-100-ml-Lubricant-rust-remover-cleansing-agent-and-contact-spray/283462897601?hash=item41ffb48fc1:m:mWsWUquMqmN0pIfqgd3Mhng Phil

Can't remember about the number of O- rings but I can tell you there is a product on ebay which is a dry lube which I use for various gun related things and this product seems to be very effective. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/K2-PTFE-Dry-Lubricant-Clear-Teflon-Grease-Spray-NO-SILICONE-Long-Protection-WD40/332555554828 Now Mark Williams will be along soon as he uses another product which he swears aids perfomance and I think accuracy but I cannot recal what the product is but if he doesn't pick this thread up, send him a PM Phil

Well well well Walshie. I had not seen that it works out every year..........................even more strange. It is your birthday THIS year so it doesn't matter if you have not had your birthday yet. Phil -
To be honest it doesn't affect me as I couldn't afford one anyway BUT I love the Wildcat ( I had two) and hated the poxy 8 shot mag and if I ever do have the cash, one will reside in my cabinet for sure. Phil

This happens once in a thousand years. Add your age this year to the year of your birth.................................the answer will be 2020. Something to have a bit of fun with. Me, well here goes, age 68 + birth year 1952 = 2020...............................well fact stranger than fiction. ? Try it out. Phil

Not to argue Mitch but I was pretty sure that RS are lighter than FAP . Express the same as FAP. It could be me that has got it wrong but I had a feeling that when I had all the pellets in my drawer, I checked them for weight comparisions but it was quite a while ago so possibly wrong, again.

Oh bloody hell not another decent product in their hands, Mitch will be happy, he is one of the few who rate them. ? Phil

Been looking on Chambers site for spares but not so many still available. Phil

My pal managed to find an unusual item in the skip, a Diana Series 70, model 79, .22 air rifle in serious need of some TLC and then some. She is in a poor state but it would be nice to give this British made Milbro Diana a face lift. The black paint has been put on with a knife and fork judging by the look of it. Oh yes I forgot to say that I checked that it actually worked and it does but only producing 4.60fpe......................what a weapon. Phil

The RM8 is a big lump of a gun and known to be front end heavy so perhaps you are getting some movement out in the field due to weight. Phil

Well bees wax is going to work Jimmy and I would have thought whatever is on / in that wood will not affect the wax............................with luck. Phil -
Yes, I think you have hit the nail on the head as there is a possibility that you are snatching at the trigger instead of a gentle squeeze. I have done it many times and had to correct myself. As you say , technique is the key. Phil

I might bring it over to Anglesey next time Matt. We came over and stayed at the Bulkeley Hotel in Beaumaris a few weeks before Covid hit our shores and promised ourselves we would come back in Sept / Oct and do a bit of sea fishing but in all honesty, I think we will not be going anywhere this year.

A question to all you springer boys.
philpot replied to philpot's topic in General Airgun Discussion
Thats good to know SD and is what I have been told by several others. Phil -
I didn't say they were cheap and to a man of your standing, I though that would be mere pocket money ? Phil

I was told last night that the 008 units were selling at £949.00 on ebay coming in from Europe. My pal had an issue with his 008 which Ian quicky sorted and my pal sold it for just under a grand a few weeks ago. Again I heard that Thomas Jacks and Pulsar had reported Pard for supplying lasers that did not conform to European standards, well they have had their arses well and truely kicked by Pard, cheaper and better than Pulsar is the word but I couldn't comment on that.
