    Just removed the front muzzle weight / open sight tip after some brilliant advise to use a hot hair dryer to warm up and twist off and it worked a treat thanks guys as all the gunshops said oooooh thats a specialist job for gunsmith mmm I think not . I know the use of silencers on recoiling springers isnt brilliant because of the main piston noise can be worse but having said that I have to say this gun is surprisingly quiet action wise but does give a little muzzle crack as they all do. I had a slim line silencer on my old weihrauch hw80 and hw95 and they were very usefull ad effect

    IM after a green laser preferably with ajustable turrets instead of allen screws for adjustment to use with my current scope green being easily seen during daylight as opposed to red which I had before.....I have looked all over every website but they mostly red or if green illegal in this country due to their power And the only legal I have seen so far are bsa type but dot size at my zeroing distance is so big the dot will swamp the tiny 10 to 20mm dot im aiming at :wallbash: being a good few inches at 30 yrds and nearer 5 or 6 inches at 100 yards which i very annoying as my last laser

    You guys are the best this forum rocks its off lol :laugh: and to think all the shops I rang said ooooooh thats a specialist job for our gunsmith we can do it but you'll be looking at 4 - 6 weeks as he very busy ??? One even said push a piece of bluetack in end to seal it and dip whole end it boiling water errrrrrrrrrr no thanks thats a sure recipe for ever forming rust Anyway now for a silencer the barrel is 15.4mm dia would I be best with a push on grub screw type webley pro system which does 14 to 16mm barrels or an adapter to take a threaded one or what would be cost of a threa

    I recently got a place I metal detect on but with thousands of rabbits too and if you dressed in cammo with a gun their gone in seconds but in ordinary clothes or armed with a metal detector they are litterally running round you in circles 20 ft away chasing each other as they are used to seeing people on horses, feeding horses and generally working on the land daily, I used this trick by having gun too and when I bend down to dig a target from detector I wait till one shows as their warren streches out from woods to open field too then when they think its ok he's digging more rubbish whack...

    I finished this multiplex frame today which was an old drawer front and all hand finished with few basic tools and sandpaper I was going to engrave a pic of a rabbit on it but I practiced on a peice of scrap wood and it looked .....well rubbish is the word In the end I found rabbit a pic on the net made it smaller and used tracing paper held over screen and copied in pencil then did the old trick from school turned the pic over placed on the frame in position wanted then rubbed the pic all over hard with the pencil the result was the pic of running rabbit was perfectly applied to the fra

    Fold a piece of A4 paper and draw your design over by the folded side but just draw half the handle and one side of the frame then cut out with scissors and open out ........a full shaped catapult template ready to go then i had a jigsaw fitted with a hacksaw blade its slow through the wood but leaves the edges smooth and perfect then just sand smooth file or sand the edges with slight bevel job done. I drilled the bottom hole with a flat 25mm hole cutter bit but not all way through with the compass one as it sits inside just below surface ....hope that helps Ps the template and design wa

    I made these 2 catapults today because I was so bored, the wood is some sort of dark hardwood 16mm thick which has a 1 mm veneer on one side as it came from an old dressing table.... I jigsawed the main shape out and used files rasps and sandpaper to finish, they just need the tops shortened and grooved and finished. I thought it would look good to fit a 25mm compass on one which I had it looked pretty dam good but is only a tester but I lik em for first attemp

    Just wondered if anyone takes a slingshot with them when shooting, I used to have one as a kid and was pleased as punch when I took a collared dove full in the chest with one I noticed this man on youtube and just think its brilliant he never misses and also dont aim as such just looks at what he shooting and not aiming catapult, and his brain and eye coordination do the rest. Love it.....:clapping:

    I'd really like to see that "law". To my knowledge no law or legislation has ever been made concerning anti tamper EVER. Also - if you go and buy a brand new stealth they are NOT regulated - again no law or legislation has ever been made concerning this. It's sad that these lies are proliferated by people who know not one jot of what they are talking about - it does more harm than good! Please prove me wrong. It was the director of gunpower that said he has to attend meetings etc with government and they were told to regulate it so anyone buying one cannot up its power, now

    all i know i that the old style valves on their first models were faulty and if the top hat shaped valve end unscrewed the power went up between 14 and 18 ft lbs but the goverment said to gunpower you have to change the valving system as all pre-charged now by law have to be regulated and anti tamper proof, so in 2009 i think they changed the valves to an all in one regulated type which if the top hat unscrewed slightly or a more powerful hammer spring was inserted it still only lets through the correct amount of air for each shot it never goes over the setting. Like any gun the capacity of bu

    hi all, i been fishing the thames opposite tilbury docks a lot recently but every cast is producing whiting some not bad size but mostly didlers the odd small bass and flounder too but no sign of any cod what so ever , where have they got to ?.............

    i even get woodies collared doves to my bird table but don,t shoot them, i like watching them stuff their faces with food and it gives you a good idea about what they like and dislike and you get to see their habits and learn even more about them, i also get robins, dunnocks, blue and great tits, sparrows, starlings, greenfinches and many more and recently even had a sparrow hawk fly low over the garden checking out the small birds on table, what gets up my nose is the rspb and rspca look down their noses at people who shoot pest species cos they absolutely hate it, but they don,t see that we

    Hi bud. maybe i did,ant read it right.Did you say you would rarer shoot the songbirds than the jay.atb. Catcher. no mate....never shoot songbirds only the pest species but i don,t shoot them often only if one presents itself like the jay did........i would,nt dream of shooting a song bird as i love watching them i just spent a fortune this weekend on fat balls, wild bird seed, peanuts, mealworms as i have lots of little visitors to my bird table at home ........sorry if i came over the wrong way

    tin foil is very good for that and its soft and does not do any damage i use 2 small squares of foil wet them and rub old coins i have found metal detecting it works best on silver but sometimes other metals too as i am into metal detecting as much as shooting so its hard to find time for both lol:thumbs:

    jays are usually very warey birds but this one was,nt at all i don,t usually shoot them very often...people say they are pests but rarely are, but having said that i don,t often see how many songbirds eggs and chicks they wipe out it could be hundreds or it could be no more than a few per year but even squirrels will eat birds eggs given half the chance, but they do do damage to trees etc...have had a fair few squirrels this year but last year over 100 from a twenty acre wood and now days squirrel is on the restuarant menu,s big time some people pay a fortune for squirrel meat i have tried the

    a weird thing happened this morning in the woods i shot 2 squirrels but the second one as it fell to the ground had a jay fly down and start pecking at it as soon as it hit the floor i watched through scope after reloading and it just kept on screeching and pecking at the squirrel so i managed to bag him too and then noticed overhead magpies more jays and crows all screeming the noise was unbareable they were all circling and screeching overhead is this cos they hate having one of their own taken ?
