  1. Is this battery compatible with my NS50?

    in Night Vision & Thermal

    Posted · Edited by mjr88

    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.

  3. Info please from blank firing pistol enthusiasts?

    in Shooting Equipment & Accessories

    Posted · Edited by mjr88

    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 above where the barrel joins the pistols action.

    Any relevant info about this pistol will be greatly appreciated.

    Here Is a photo of a identical pistol that I found online.

    Cheers lads.

  4. Walther RM8 or Artemis M16

    in General Airgun Discussion

    Posted · Edited by mjr88

    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 ?

    Personally I’d go with the m16!

    the walther weighs a ton and I’ve had 3 bust ones on the bench in the last couple of months. 

    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.

    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. 

  10. Question for FX Streamline owners

    in General Airgun Discussion

    Posted · Edited by mjr88

    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 recommended usable life span on my HW100 bottle Is 10 years. Hence my query on the FX Streamline  ?

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

  11. Is this a suitable scope for air rifles?

    in General Airgun Discussion

    Posted · Edited by mjr88

    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 :

  13. Airgun Registration

    The only good point is if you have a FAC or SGC A AGC is only £10 compared to £100 if you only have a airgun ?. 

    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 ?

  14. Airgun Registration

    in General Airgun Discussion

    Posted

    1. Hi guys.
      There's a strong rumour going around that there will be an airgun registration process here In the UK as there Is In Scotland sometime In the near future. And I was just wondering how this would work. Would It be a case of just filling In a form to let the relevant authority know what airguns a person owns, or would It be like an FAC where you need witnesses etc.

      Thoughts please lads ?

  21. Buy, Sell or Swap forum/ Unable to post or reply to post on this forum. Link missing

    in General Talk

    Posted · Edited by mjr88

    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,

  24. A & M Cylinders for HW100?

    in General Airgun Discussion

    Posted

    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,
