    Hi I am in Kent,
  2. deanothehunter
    I have had this gun around 1 yr and used only a handful of times and its still in as I bought it condition, It was £200 on the dot when I bought but I know they have come down a bit now at certain shops. It has a Hawke 3-10x44 nite eye illuminated reticle scope on and I will throw in a green laser with adjustment turrets to who ever buys which was £55 alone.... I am selling due to packing in shooting all together and have sold my other guns, scopes, Pumps, and accessories already just kept this one incase I wanted to change my mind but have not so its the last I have and must go to goo

    I found this last week metal detecting it was very blackened or should i say brownish/red until i cleaned it up, it was about 8 inches down underneath the pasture turf but it measures 26mm long about 7mm at bottom has letter ''H'' on bottom and top inner dia is only 4.5mm so same size as a .177 pellet ......any idea,s welcome just wondered how old its likely to be or is it fairly modern just never found one with such a small round usually pick up .22's and 303's etc ... Cheers Deano.

    No sorry not for sale just a few I knocked up for my own collection they are asda fitness exercise bands you get 3 in a box for £6 yellow = weak Red= medium and blue= strong they are a type of thera band only easier to pull but a youtube vid shows even the red putting out 320 fps so pretty hunting worthy, and they come with that lovely chocolate cookie smell theraband gold has too Just made up this 2 days ago too based on a slim milbro type cattie its very thick and 25mm but it started off as an old chair arm, the wood is heavy very tightly grained and these pics dont do it justice as in

    thanks everyone, Basically its a type of hardwood ply 19mm they're made from used for furniture cabinets, table tops etc, it was from an old dresser I scraped but saved the best bits to chop up as they screamed out to be made into catties

    Made these 3 last week and they all shoot great, the one with rabbit pic on has been temporary banded and tried but before varnishing so took them off to varnish it will try to get it banded up 2moro, they are all made from old furniture drawer fronts 19mm - 13 layer ply / multiplex as some call it...... They are all just 120mm high and I just drew out some designs made paper templates drew round them onto the wood and jigsawed them out and finished off with various grades of sandpaper and did band grooves with round file, they all turned out pretty well I am well pleased they all shoot st

    Im one of these people that will check price find it too expensive so try to make one which wont work then I will buy one anyway......I did put a tripod mount once on top of old scope mount and had camcorda sitting on top it did work sort of but found I was moving it to face every shot as when zooming in it did'nt have ll wanted pic in shot plus the weight was far too much on an already heavy gadget loaded gun

    Got a new pasture/ woodland permission buzzing with bunnies, pigeons, squizzers crows and mags, 2moro will be my first session but when I got permission the landowner said go take a look around and become familiar with the land and boundaries so I did and already decided to set up in a little natural hide a naturally hollow bush next to woodland fence and 25 to 30 yards ( my zero ) to the open mid field warren that had heads popping in and out every min or so checking me out. Will keep you posted how I get on
  12. deanothehunter
    Cheers mate good advice anyway I just love their small size and light weight and look forward to getting one soon when funds allow

    Hi Zini, does the hw100 silencer go straight on the ultra's as I have been thinking about one of those if so bet its wisper quiet ?? Also I do a lot of hunting Rabbits, squirrels and woodies mainly with the odd crow/ magpie thrown in here and there for good measure what calibre would you recommend out of .177 and .22 my last pre charged I changed from .22 to .20 cal which I loved but not heard of an ultra in this cal ? Thanks in advance Deano

    Cheers mate, I do keep up to date with current airgun laws etc every now and then as new laws and things can change at any time, but I dont even like to ride with gun in bag slung over my back incase I come off the gun will bend I now carry it in its case action only and stock in seperate bag I then fold the front tapered section of the bag back on its self so it looks more like a 3 or 4 section fishing rod case and this along with stock in seperate bag are bound onto bike with bungee straps completely protected by padded fleecy cases and then I look like Im off fishing more than shooting alo

    I was told by a friend that transporting my air rifle in its slip is now illegal unless you in a car ? but with my bike being my only transport now I dont have much choice he said the law came about at same time the recent one about having suitable lock ups or a place to store it where children cant get at it well as for indoors its safely away from my kids and locked away but as for the transporting I think my friend trying to wind me up as I see people walking along the road with airguns in slips etc so long as its in a slip/ gunbag and not loaded........... If Im wrong or missing someth

    I took out my Stoeger x20 this afternoon for a little re-zero session, this did'nt take longer than a few mins as I had scope off to service gun and trigger recently but rear scope mount has roll pin just tapped 3mm low to sit in gun scope rails arrester hole so no creeping during recoil. With the gun de-gunked internals polished and reassembled with minimum grease etc unlike the factory that had over lubed as usual but now consistant and no puff of smoke when fired as gun not had that much use but trigger did need attention as was very heavy pull even ajusted to lightest setting but you

    Cheers mate good to know )

    I have recently re sprung an old BSA supersport which is currently doing a very consistant 10.31 - 10.37 ft lbs at muzzle. I wanted to know how much energy it would have left at max distance of 40yrds with a 14.3 grn RWS superpoint .22 pellet ? I was told about Hawke chairgun pro so thought I would take a look....... I then downloaded Hawke chairgun pro and tried to understand it and if i did it right its saying at 40 yrds the retained energy would be roughly 4.11 ft lbs if producing 10.31 ft lbs at muzzle ?? Does this sound about right as they say a rabbit skull needs 3 -4 ft
  19. deanothehunter
    Thats spot on mate its usually down to the person behind the trigger, but we do like to blame our tools now and then but im pretty used to springers so sur it will be fine
  20. deanothehunter
    Cheers mate I will bare that in mind and ten + is,nt a too bad foot poundage maybe once it fully settles it'll rise a touch more still
  21. deanothehunter
    I have been given an old BSA supersport by a friend thats been through the wars its all in working order but needed a new main spring as it was putting out around 8 and a half ft lbs with the old spring. I ordered a new main spring and put in after degreasing all internals then re assembling, a good few years back I knew a gunsmith quite well and he was always good to me and giving valuable info on re fitting springs pistons etc. I basically followed his advice by applying a fine smear of moly grease to piston itself and same with the spring as he said never pack them like factories do it

    Hi it is a stoeger x 20 very similar weight and performance to an hw95 weihrauch and the trigger unit comes out in one seperate from the action the same as the weihrauch's but is much more complicated than hw80 / hw95 rekord triggers which I love but it does have a similar auto safety like the hw's too

    I always go slowly and carefully and draw a quick diagram for reassembly but as I pulled out one of the pins it released a spring which had a mind of its own flying over the room and landing amongst a pile of clothes but luckily I heard it and went over to see it straight away but also as the spring flung out one sction of the sears fell out but not knowing which direction it went back made it very difficult but on reassembly I just kept trying spring all ways but it just was'nt right but did get there in th end and can safely say now if I had to do it again I know exactly where everything go

    ooops its not just me then, they were the days yb100's lol I think I put an engine from one of those in my fizzy 50 it was a 100cc anyway and looked identical to the 50cc one :laugh:

    I decided to take my trigger apart last night and give it all a clean and polish and re oil....................what a nightmare just to save a few bob I have always had the urge to take things apart even watches from no age through to present only now I pay attention to how it comes apart and lay out in order for reassembly only last night I pulled a pin from trigger only to have springs and components fly over the room this was around half 8 ish and I finally reassembled and tried it out at 2am this morning :laugh: it feels much better lighter pull and very well tuned compared o how it
