    Foamies

    Lancashire Hunter replied to MIK's topic in Wildfowling

    I agree they are very realistic the big downside is they dont last in wet weather. Flock coating falls apart. I use them with a mate of mine but if it starts raining or decoying on a splash we have to use the fuds and silosocks. So as realistic as they are they are not practical.

    Wouldnt bother with the foamies personlay. There no use in the wet as it lifts the flock coating of them and end up ruinned. If your wonting light wieght other then fuds which are ok i would go down the silosock route bit more expensive to get a decent size group but they work. I mainly shoot pinks and i use a mixture of fuds and silososocks.I have found when the wind picks up they add a bit of movement to your pattern. One thing i did with my fuds though which i think really helped was using some white emulsion painted the arse end. I use dependant on size of the field and the birds behavior

    What would i be best doing if i have ponds but no ducks using them i.e non visible when i have been there. There are some large lakes with in 2 miles with hundreds of duck on. I have only ever seen two duck on there that was over 3-years ago and havent seen them since two ponds are in a wood and one is open in a field. I have permission to feed and release birds on there. So would i be best putting a few call birds on to attract others or just feed the ponds up and hope for the best? Im at a loss as i dont think any duck are using the land and dont want to waste my time feeding up for sonethi

    Hi all can anyone advise reccomend or put me in touch with some one who can make a stock for my hw . The stock i have is great but im looking to tart it up a bit and get a higher cheek piece. Any reccomendations or web sites you can give would be great cheers guys.

    If you have the money go welsh willy the kit im on about of ebay is 20quid but thats only guide top hat and washers made to fit standard spring. I have a welsh willy kit in my crosman tr77 and that transformed the rifle. But i have a sfs kit (sandwell field sports kit) in my hw80k and thats really good but i will be ordering a welsh willy for the just to do a comparison. But a welsh willy kit will get rid of the twang and reduce recoil.

    You can also get aftermarket spring guide top hat and power washers off ebay for both tx and pro sport that give a better fit then the origanal parts. Also could possably have a broken springs in them
  13. Lancashire Hunter
    Few things it could be. No top hat Spring could have a gap i.e play between the spring and spring guide. Or a gap between the back of the spring guide and front of the trigger block.

    I put a nikko 3-9×50 mountmaster on my 80k works for me
  15. Lancashire Hunter
    Yeah i piston sleeve will help also a new spring guide and top hat as the standard ones have a bit of play in them between the spring and top hat and spring guide plus i think the standard top hats are metal aswell it does effect them. But to start with the piston sleece you can make one out of either a coke bottle or if your careful you could use a beer can cut top and bottom then cut one side down the middle wrap around the spring and push it in i reccomend a plastic bottle though.

    The washer are pretty much acting as pre load. Thinking about it it could be the new piston seal. Cheers thanks

    Hi guys i have just restored a hw80k polished piston up to mirror stripped and polished all of the trigger and sears and fitted a sfs spring service kit. The gun shoots lovely. But my issue is when cocking it it is so much effort it is rediculus. I have fitted two of the power washers could it be that? I havent chronod it yet as i am going to my mates tomoz to put it over it. If it is around the 10-11ftlb mark with the washers in how can i make the cocking easier? Thanks guys.

    Unless you can prove you have a fac no one will really tell you mate all i will say is if done properly and checked each time when pumped they are really smooth.

    Hi all just fitted the welsh willy spring kit in my crosman tr77 and the diffrence is awsome i cant believe the transformation it is unreal. The gun was very kicky and jumpy so orderd the kit of welsh willy stripped the gun polished the piston and the cylinder fitted the kit and wow it is so smooth and the recoil has virtualy gone. Anyone who is looking or considering getting a spring kit for either a chinese or a well known brand of rifle i would seriosly get your self one of these kits and polish the internals up. It has even made my crosman quiter going from a twang to a very pleasant thu

  21. Lancashire Hunter

    Hi all just had my crosman tr77 tuned by welsh willy shoots lovely really pleasant to shoot. But i have been offerd a px for a hw one of the earlier ones bit tatty and rough in .22 and 40 quid to the other guy. Now question is do i take the trade i know that i get brilliant build and reliability with the weihrauch but as i said mine has been welsh willy tuned and is something rather speciel whats your opinions? Thanks

    I just wish i had the money other wise i would have one myself same as you have never delt or seen a sfs rifle yet but should i ever have the money i will be getting one myself. But at the mo im stuck with a decent 90 and a tr 77 but one day i will have a tony wall tuned rifle. My tr 77 is welsh willy tuned and that is great. But a sfs is a dream gub for me.
