The only issue I had was with the old slide out shroud because after about 18 months I was getting some pellet clipping, sent it back to ASI who did a full service, replaced the sliding shroud for a fixed shroud, all FOC and it has never given any trouble at all since then and we are another 2 years down the road so 3.5 years in total and what a fantastic gun, I could never see myself selling it. My shooting partner has on as well, both .25 fac and I can say he has the same opinion as me. Out and out work horses that do the business every time. Phil

Thank you, not far from me then so good to know, I may well be popping in to see you soon. You must be close to the stove company. Phil

Is the Shooting Shed a shop or internet only as I am in the Wolds so guessing not too far away. Phil

I am looking forward to getting on the crow with decoys but still a bit early as the buggers are not staying in one area. The rookerys in my area are protected !!!!!!!! WTF sheer stupidity but there it is. Phil

70 tins...............................................well that is serious batch control. I suspect the cost of a tin of pellets in Canada is a little less than the uk. Phil

Something about the Impact to shoulder and shoot which is quite different to any other gun or at least I find it so and despite the looks of the Crown, which is lovely, I would have another Impact in a heartbeat.............................................then I might have a Crown but neither of those things will happen so I won't concern myself with the thought, anyway I have just spent my pocket money on new gun.

Trouble is that there are some wankers advertising stuff they don't own as part of a con job so perhaps it was deemed easier to stop the adverts. Phil

So who are you sleeping with to get these slugs Mitch. ? Phil

It's Mitch you are talking about here Pav, he is bound to have got one fitted, ? Phil

It's true, our Jimmy is a special fella who is held in high regard by a number of people including me...............................................Oh yes, Si is ok as well I suppose ? It is not fair guys, I can't make the Northern Show this year, first one I will have missed but the holiday is booked and you lot will have a great day together. Well I know we will see eachother before then but we have to make sure we all get to the South Yorks show. Mind you Trish and myself are having a couple of days at the Game Fair this year which might be another meet up. Oh yes, list of

Looks like an ideal gun for the rats with a good shot count, hope it works well for you, LOVE ratting just need another as we shot our big rat perm out. Phil

Well that is very helpful of the rfd to offer that service, I hope you get sorted. I know of a couple of rfds in the north who don't want to deal with the new importer which may have some effect on your search and I am not sure if these cowboys have got the stock in the uk yet. I spoke to this company last week as they were advertising some semi auto and bolt action CZ wmr rifles which not only did they not have stock but none are in the uk when I checked further so I would not trust this mob for love nor money.

I will watch with great interest Mitch. Do you know if these are suited to standard fx barrels and who have you got them from. Lets hope the wind drops off so you can get some testing done but if you still have the chicken shed range, it doesn't really matter I guess. Phil

Very nice write up Ian, and a good result. Phil

I can arrange for you to have the operation as well Si if it helps......................................? Phil

Got a fox trap which may be of some help SD ? Phil

Nice one Si, the Benelli is nothing short of superb mate, a very good choice. If that is two shots, It looks ok but it would be a damm site easier to judge with one shot.......... A good move Si Phil
-
You should have had a gun shop Jimmy. Really not a good idea to think how much money we have all spent in the rfd over the years, in fact I don't want to think about it mate. You will be adding another photo to this lot before too long Jimmy of that I am sure. Phil

.22 WEBLEY AXSOR THREADED MUZZLE. TOO SMALL.
philpot replied to pianoman's topic in Rifle Reviews, Technical Help and Tips
If all else fails Simon, give Wildcat a call as I believe they will produce a connection unit for one of their mods and your barrel. I have just been in touch with them and have to say they are most helpful. I am fitting one on my new .22 magnum (wmr) also because you can strip them down and clean them in a washer. https://www.wildcatmoderators.co.uk/ Phil -
FAC conversion dilemma
philpot replied to Eradic8r's topic in Rifle Reviews, Technical Help and Tips
Sounds good Mitch, he has done the work himself, a bit more brave than me. I watched the tack on youtube and thought ..................not me, I am scared to death about taking rifles apart as they would never go back together. When you say 'external kit', is that different to the plenum now fitted to the latest Mk2. Phil -
FAC conversion dilemma
philpot replied to Eradic8r's topic in Rifle Reviews, Technical Help and Tips
Simon, perhaps this summer, I can bring over my Impact .25 for you to have a crack on the bunnies and judge for yourself what these guns are like. I have not tried any slugs as yet but no doubt will do so in time and whilst all my information on using slugs is from the youtube / Airgun 101, it seems that these are as Mitch says, a total game changer in terms of accuracy at greater ranges than we are able to even dream of using pellets. You are the best shot I have ever seen Simon so I would love to see how you go on with my gun and it's 47fpe. Phil -
The Mighty HW MK1 .22 has arrived.

Quote:-- Looking forward to reading more with how you are getting on with her Mark. You do know Simon that you have just opened the door to shed loads of hand drawn pigeon with near misses all over the place. Oh Simon,,,,, what have you done ? ? Only joking Marky Phil -
I take your point Walshie and I don't but do recall one occasion on another forum when I did lose my temper when we were reffered to as a mob of fcukin poachers and a joke. I didn't get banned and did get a few to say sorry pretty please but I was not happy to say the least. Phil

Without doubt meece.
