    I've become completely obssessed with Weihrauch springers. I'm looking at my just now sitting on the kitchen table after an evening of targets. Its old and heavy and its well used and makes the most sublime click when i close it up ready to take a shot, i sometimes just sit for a minute or 2 just cocking and uncocking it to hear the lovely sound that this well used gun makes. Yep i'm sad and loving it I've promised to take a mate seatrout fishing tomorrow night and all i can think is ' I wish i hadn't offered so that i can get out again tomorrow with both my 80s and some new pellets i'm

    Nice read that mate. Interesting stuff and i hope you get your barrel in the morning, if it was me it might turn into a whole weekend of sulking and grumping Atb C

    Hi guys. Here's a thing, i recently refurbed an which shot RWS superfields quite well not brilliantly but not bad which i thought at the time would do as i get them for a fiver a tin. At the weekend i cleaned the barrel as its an old gun and to be honest it looked filthy up the bore. I used propriety cleaner patches and finished of with a tiny squirt of wd40 that i then cleaned out with patches, looking up the bore showed a locely mirror shine with no blemishes. Set up a target on Monday night @ 30 yrds and the best i could achieve was a crap group of 3 inches. I'm an average shot but ev

    Hi Mate. Great looking job on the blueing. Yeah the rivet iseasily tapped out with a punch a little thinner than the rivet as you have already done. It can be used again. When your ready to fit it just tap in the rivet making sure you push in the side of the rivet thats narrowest ( the side that was forced through on extraction) The next bit is a little fiddly, i used 2 centre punches, 1 set vertical in my vice point up, i rest the side thats not been flattened on this whilst getting someone to steady the barrel and lever. Take your other punch and gently hod it downward onto the upward

    Cheers guys. Thats exactly what i did with him Skot but to be honest i think he's happy that i'm there with the tools doing it for him, his day is an early start late finish so doesn't get much time to shoot. I'm just sorting out my night vision as the pigeons are very nervous and won't put up with daylight shooting or even a red lamp. The only problem is trying to find a good quality torch that i can stick my IR filter onto so the handycam can pick the pigeons out roosting to 30 or 40 yards max. I'm a typical grippy Scot who doesn't like spending too much money I can't afford a hundred

    No need for the hard hat bud, your first sentence up to the coma sums the whole thing up nicely. You have access to a chrono and your rifle is legal (which means its more accurate and lethal) is all that matters. You don't have to concern yourself about if the bobbies do or don't know what they are doing or if there are tens of thousands of people or maybe a million or two who don't know what a chrono is or if they do but don't have access to one (in the eyes of the law ingnorance is not an excuse). We are not paranoid its just a simple precaution to stay legal and enjoy our sport which is

    Hi SKot. Soz for the confusion my post was a reply to Audiguy about the chances of being stopped etc. I know your sussed mate. Chris.
  12. thursodog
    Regardless of what chances there are of being stopped and checked nothing should be left to chance by the gun owner. I know this sounds a bit creeping jesus and stuff but its not worth losing your guns and fun for a 100 quid. I know i don't and am as daft as a brush according to the wife Combros are inconsistent in my hands and the F1 is a great wee machine. I did read once though in a magazine who did a test on the Combro, think it was Shooting Sports, their test comparison with a Combro and proffessional chrono on various air rifles gave good results showing the Combro to be a good inv

    They were good for about a year until i started playing musical scopes mate. I must admit i tighten them up pretty hard.
  15. thursodog
    I had them on my FAC HW80 and they were rock solid, the only problem was i kept changing the scope to different air rifles and eventually i snapped the small blocks that tighten into the groove on the top of the rifle. I changed them for a single block scope mount. C

    Scopes don't count as anything other than a telescope.

    Si your pretty accurate is awesome to mere mortals like myself mate, i dream about the size of groups you get, i might cut more of it though. Btw, i saw the vids on the 98 and yer more surgical than accurate imo. Hats aff ti yi min. C

    Cheers pall. I wouldn't trust this person now. I had a deal with him until i mentioned he sends to me 1st. One of the mods on here knows me so i have no escape. I don't understand your post Nobbie. I'm left guessing as to what you are trying to say mate.

    Just a bit of banter bud, i've been looking for one of these for some time. Regards C

    Hi folks. I can't get the same accuracy from my fac HW80 (19ft/lb) as i can from my sub 12 and 97. Its the long barrel version with a steel parkerhale rim fire mod on the end and a big heavy MTC taipan 6-18x50 scope on top. It shoots good enough but just not quite as good as the other 2 despite weighing more than the 97. I cut and reshaped the spring last night and its now at 11.4 ft/lb and is absolutely brilliant to shoot. Super super smooth and so much easier to control. I haven't given it a proper field test yet but i reckon its going to beat my Vmach 97. Atc C
