  1. Absolutely. A real gent who could not have been more helpful.
  2. I spoke to Tony Wall today on the phone about my old TX200 and about a couple of other things in general. I am not a customer of his, have never met him, and have never even passed his shop let alone been in it. However, what a gentleman he is. He came over as a genuinely nice man and very polite and helpful. He even offered to help me via the phone to talk me through a few bits and pieces servicing wise. I will in the future be a customer of his as I plan to visit the shop and get a new rifle etc. It is nice to encounter people like Tony in this day and age where most of the time pe
  3. No probs Simon. Believe me, there was a time when I didn't know either
  4. OK at the top where it says your name on the right, click on it and the drop down menu there is your settings. It actually says My Settings.
  5. You right click on the photo and save it to your computer, then go to your settings and change your avatar by uploading it.
  6. I think Pianoman should have this photo as he's left handed
  7. I am really impressed with the level of knowledge on here
  8. No mate, you been here a lot longer than me so it looks like I've copied you lol
  9. Whoever put that pic together certainly knows cats. Mine has the patience of a saint and will stalk a rat in a drain all day to get it. So I reckon a cat would make a good sniper lol.
  10. 1/. Can I post by Royal Mail to have a gun tuned? Any restrictions? 2/. How is the best way to pack it up? Might be a stupid question this one but I don't think its as easy as it sounds lol. Want to send a 20 year old TX200 away to Tony Wall to have it overhauled and tuned etc.
  11. Hi Pianoman. Tried sending you a pm but its blocked. Thanks for all the replies guys. I have turned mysel off pcp's....its been a hassle right enough over this divers bottle scenario. I didn't get it mixed up chaps, I was clearly told that the policy is not to fill any bottle for anyone that does not have a divers certificate regardless if it for diving or not. The local gun shop to me told me as such last week, yet I didn't listen because I thought he was very wrong. I still think there is places out there, but to be honest it has wound me up. Looking into a HW95 now which gets a
  12. Skot. Love springers and your right - probably only target shooters use a standing position because they got to do that. I would like something light with a silencer. HW 97 is a brill bit of kit, just too heavy for me. Same as an Air Arms TX200, great guns but not for lugging around all day though. I know plenty do but to me I'm not a fan because of the weight. Secretagent, your not wrong but I come across this all the time in some form or other. It seems like they just made a policy not to fill unless a certificate is produced. Other than that I don't know and arguing is pointless because
  13. It is a massive dilema if you have a gun and can only use it as a door stop! Sorry Donator but I have tried everyone I have been able to locate within a 30 mile radius and they all said no. Local gunshops don't really exist here, well there are a couple of places that sell guns but they don't have a clue either. I was told about this a couple of weeks ago (didn't listen), and have now given up on it because its winding me up. Oh there are plenty of places, but they wont fill a bottle unless I have a divers certificate. Wont go the pump route. I know plenty have no problems but there are
  14. I have been doing some research into several models of Air Rifle and tried to break it down into a handful of guns before I go and look at them and purchase. I was pretty much all set into biting the bullet and going pcp (heavy expenditure at the outset) until I came across a major stumbling block - that being the Divers bottle. I simply can't locate anywhere they will fill a bottle without a divers certificate, even though I have explained its for an Air Rifle. A local chap I know had already told me that I would have problems and he was right! It seems that more places are now refusing t
