  1. Hi guys. After doing some research on a battery that will be suitable to use with my old NS50 unit, I've found this lithium battery on eBay and It looks a good possibility. The connections look the same as Is on the NiteSite original brick battery but I'm still not certain that It will be suitable. So looking at the photo, can anybody please confirm whether this aftermarket lithium blue battery will be suitable to use with my old NS50 unit or not? The following photos show the original NiteSite brick battery and the aftermarket blue lithium battery. Cheers guys.
  2. Hi guys. I've just been given a .22 blank firing pistol that used to belong to my late father and I was just wondering If anybody could please give me any info about It? All I know Is that It's made In Italy and Is called a Mondial model 1960. So has anybody got any idea about the age of this pistol? On the pistol It's got written 1960, so could this be the year of manufacture? Also guys, apart from the brown handle the entire pistol Is black. So Is this legal for me to keep or not? The blast gas upon firing Is vented at the top of the pistol through a hole that Is directly abov
  3. Thanks for the replies and Info guys. And I think that I'm definitely leaning towards the Artemis M16. The only annoying things that I've heard about that rifle Is the safety catch on the trigger, having to manually poke each pellet Into each slot In the magazine, and the supplied moderator that can't be changed due to the non standard moderator thread. But for £385 brand new, I reckon the M16 has got to be worth a shot ?
  4. No, not really. But I'll look Into It. Thanks for the heads up.
  5. This Is one of the reasons why I'm not sure about the RM8. Apparently there's a lot of cycling and bolt Issues on some guns. I've even heard that a few people having problems with the magazine being damaged due to being Inserted too hard.
  6. Hi guys. I've been looking for a decent budget price PCP In 22 calibre and I think that I've narrowed It down to 2 rifles. The Walter RM8 or the Artemis M16. Both rifles have their good and bad points, so I just thought that I'd ask for your opinions before I decide. Cheers lads.
  7. Hi guys. I've been Interested In buying an FX Streamline for some time now but I have a question that I'm hoping that somebody can answer for me. Basically, I seem to remember reading somewhere that the Streamlines buddy bottle Is fixed and cannot be removed. Is this true? If It Is true, has the bottle got a recomnended life span? If It has, what happens when the Streamlines buddy bottles reaches It's recommended life span and can't be used any more for safety reasons? You can't simply unscrew It and replace It with a new one. I'm quite new to pcp shooting but I know that the recomm
  8. Hi guys. After recently selling my rimfire, I now have a vertually brand new and unused Vortex 3-12x42 HP scope left over. And I'm just checking If you guys think that this scope would be suitable to use on a legal limit air rifle. Due to the fact that the parallax Is set from 30 yards to Infinity. Opinions please lads : https://vortexoptics.com/diamondback-hp-3-12x42.html?vortex_reticle=978
  9. WTF. Can you explain that further please. Where did this source of Info come from? So are you saying that If a person doesn't have an FAC or a Shotgun certificate then they have to pay £100 per airgun? Surely not. I've got 5 airguns and there's no way I'd pay £500 that's for sure ?
  10. Hi guys. I was just wondering what the procedure Is to surrender a shotgun and fac certificate. Is there a certain form that needs to be downloaded from the firearms department data base? Cheers lads.
  11. Thanks for the update guys. I was just curious how long this donate thing has been going. A few years ago I purchased an NS50 from somebody off this forum. And I have never subscribed ?
  12. Hi all. I don't know If this just affects me but, I have just gone on the Buy, Sell or Swap forum and cannot see any way to add a post or reply to a post on any of the forums under this catagory. The green link that you usually click on that allows a post to be posted or to be replied to Is not visable. Does anybody else have this problem? All the other forums on the site seem to be unaffected, John ?
  13. Good shooting mate and a great gun. (just like mine) Just curious though, what scope Is that mounted on your HW100?
  14. Thanks for the replys and Info lads ?
  15. Hi all I am thinking of replacing my standard HW100s cylinder for the A & M version for the extra shot count. But as I have no experience with after market bottles, I was just wondering If any of you guys could tell me how many more shots you actually get with the A & M full size cylinder when fitted to a legal limit rifle. Also, are these A & M cylinders good quality, reliable, and basically worth the extra money, John ? http://www.amcustomgunsmiths.com/Home.aspx
  16. Thanks for the replies lads. Alsone, I'm just thinking about selling at the moment because the permission I had to use the shotgun has been sold on and I have nowhere else to use It at present. And If I do sell the SX3 I will probably use the money and buy an FAC air rifle for that bit of extra range down at my stables permission, John ?
