    I have a couple that I first cleaned with a wire-brush, taking the loose parts of rust of. After that I've put them in a bucket with a solution of hydrochloric acid and hot water, cleansed them afterwards with plenty of water and after drying I put boiled linseed oil on them, they came out really nice.

    Did you see these ? brought some really effective ones from France..... http://www.ducatillon.com/pieges-et-repulsifs-940/pieges-et-poisons-rats-et-souris-6-951.html France has much more liberal laws on trapping and the traps used i.m.h.o.

    No, just that in the mid 60's there weren't much guns that exceed the 12 fpe limit. Think the only one which had more power was the Sheridan pump-up rifle from the States. So the limit was rather arbitrary, not based on anything related to crime, health and safety or anything like that.

    After reworking the innards of the rifle, stiffening the frame, building a proper scope-mount (which also helps to get more strength into the frame) my friends even have put in a regulator (getting 70 consistent shots from one filling in .25 at 45 fpe) etc, calibrating it with the target turrets and using a rangefinder, it's a Grand rifle. Right out of the box it's crap...... but still a good design I do have two of these rifles and after customizing they are a proper FAC rifle ! Won't swap or sell mine I like the single shot mode, because I like the possibility to check if there's a

    I do have a couple of friends who are very handy converting a rather " useless " air rifle like a GP Stealth into a piece of art. Mine has been reworked to get the most of its potential and accuracy e.g. home made hammer, mounts, valve, barrel recrowned and lapped etc.This will get it shooting at its optimum, Capable of doing game up to the size of foxes. But still I have to do my part otherwise all that power is useless. Good fieldcraft is hard to achieve ..... i'm still learning every day

    Stealth in .25 doing 900+ with 31 grains H&N Baracuda, used with a Zeiss 6x42 with custom made calibrated target turrets and Leica rangefinder Land has been cleared for centrefire calibers (deer), so fac air rifle is no problem.

    Isn't the praise of the <12 fpe level, not mostly inspired by the restriction UK law puts on you ? I think that if there was no legal restriction on the output of the air rifles, most would opt for a 12 fpe +rifle, instead of the 12 fpe variety. Stalking skills and fieldcraft still has to be still part of the game, game isn't daft i.m.h.o FAC or not..... Waiting in a hide to let the game come to you, isn't depending much on your stalking of fieldcraft skills, it only depends on staying still and using good camo material. I do have a 50 fpe airrifle in .25, and I still have to do

    Great action and nice dogs, something unthinkable to do in this country, the bunny-huggers would kill you , although it's natural behaviour of the dogs.
