  5. New Graham Advert On Gunstar!

    in General Talk

    Posted · Edited by Sweeney-Todd

    I bet it did............................... :laugh:

     

    I expect somewhere on the forum, it says, " At the buyers or sellers discretion " when conducting business privately between two people.

    I don't think it would be at all fair, or reasonable, to expect any blame, or responsibility to fall on the forum.

     

    They do what they can to keep the site clean of scammers etc ( again!!!..........with help from members, such as MOLEY keeping a watchful eye and giving them the nod )

     

    Unfortunately, they cant stop them all.......so, as has been said before, if you don't know the sellers reputation, might be best to wait, or buy FTF.

    Hi Mike.

     

     

    Well done mate.............your efforts may not be appreciated by everyone, but I think most would rather pat you on the back, than bitch about you.

    I said much the same as this in another thread, but it appears to have been deleted.

    You have helped a lot on the forums keeping a watchful eye on the antics of the Grahams, and I am sure a lot of people are grateful to you.

     

    No harm in giving credit where it is due, and for those who find this thread tiresome, don't enter in to it, as it will only upset you ;)

     

    Good Job MOLEY :thumbs:

    WELL DONE MOLEY !!

     

    You have done more than most on this, or any other forum to keep an eye on the Grahams and their activities.

    You have helped to prevent others getting caught out by them, by your sheer persistence and commitment to try and help others.

    Also you alerted other forums with your idle hands on the key board, bringing even more eyes to bear on the problem to lend more help.

     

    Some obviously think your efforts were a waste of forum space, but still feel the need to chirp up and kick you in the balls...........nice :no:....should be ashamed of themselves.

     

    All credit to you Mike, I'm sure there are more that want to thank you, rather than bitch about you!!

    Hi Dubba.

     

    Looks like a real nice rifle.

    Being based on the legendary S10, I would expect it to perform very well indeed.

    Keep us informed if you do go ahead and buy it.

     

    Be very interested to see Chrono results etc.

     

    Lucky enough to own 3 x S10s all in .22 and every one of them likes Defients 14g Large 5.52 Head Size :thumbs:

     

    Look forward to reading more about her......good luck.

  14. Maintenance ?

    in Rifle Reviews, Technical Help and Tips

    Posted

    I tend to always clean the inside of the barrel on a new gun, i usually just use a pull through a couple of times. Some rifles are stored with and excessive amount of protective grease in the barrel. I have found this to be worse on new BSA rifles rather than Weihrauch.

     

     

     

    Second this one :thumbs:

     

    Use a bit of turps / white spirit on a piece of lint free cloth, don't soak it, just dampen it.

    Use a bit of 60lb fishing line as the pull through.

    Three pulls should do it, then a couple with a clean and dry piece of cloth.

     

    You are then ready to start leading in your barrel :yes:

  18. Scope Sights - Different People Different Calibration?

    in Rifle Reviews, Technical Help and Tips

    Posted · Edited by Sweeney-Todd

    Poor eye relief , and initial set up can cause havoc with a scope.

     

    One of the most important aspects, is setting up the scope correctly on the rifle in the first place.

     

    If you try to rush this stage, chances are you will always be chasing your head position, and your MPI on the target.

    Great care should be taken to get the correct eye relief.

    Make sure also that your scope is not canting to left or right. ( Cross hairs are square to the rifle not dropping left or right )

     

    Once you think you have the scope set, after making all the necessary adjustments, lay the rifle in front of you on the ground, get down behind it prone position, close your eyes, pick up the butt and shoulder the rifle until your happy with the cheek weld and hold, now open your eyes looking through the scope, if you have got it right, you should have a nice bright and clear sight picture, the full width of the lens.

     

    Repeat the exercise, if you need to tweak a bit, DO IT, don't think aww that's close enough, your shooting and enjoyment will suffer.

     

    If you are really keen, most mass produced rifles have a standard length of pull, don't be afraid to play with the butt length of your rifle, to get a perfect fit in the shoulder. ( this should be done before all of the above really )

     

    You can get a very good idea of your length of pull by having your arm down at your side, now bend the arm 90 degrees at the elbow, form your trigger finger as though squeezing off a shot, measure from elbow to crease in finger, that will be a good guide.

     

    All of this can be found on good old Google / YouTube, and probably explained a lot better than I can do.

     

    Most people are lucky, and don't have to many problems with standard off the shelf stock length, its all worth thinking about.

     

    Have fun, Good luck.
