Absolutely. A real gent who could not have been more helpful.

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

No probs Simon. Believe me, there was a time when I didn't know either

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.

I think Pianoman should have this photo as he's left handed

I am really impressed with the level of knowledge on here

No mate, you been here a lot longer than me so it looks like I've copied you lol

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.

Posting an Airgun? Just a quick question chaps...
Books replied to Books's topic in General Airgun Discussion
Nice one Secretagent....thanks.. -
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.

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

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

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

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

Nice one Buster but probably not on the cards as I live so far away. But if I do I will send you a pm. Didn't get a chance to phone the shop today but will ring them tomorrow.

Yeah I agree Mawders, I was just asking first because I am a little green when it comes to this sort of thing, and didn't want to phone Tony and waste his time with foolish questions. You have to remember that I was unaware that airguns can be altered or tuned until a couple of days ago and only after seeing the video's on youtube by Si. It was on these video's that I even found out about this forum! I honestly didn't have any idea about this sort of thing, and its a sort of WOW factor for me just by watching the vids. But I will place a call to Tony today right enough so thanks all f

Oh that's good then. One more thing, I live a fair distance away so would I physically have to go to the shop to collect, or is there some other way I could have it sent through. I know by current rules you have to collect in person from a certified firearms holder, but don't know if Sandwell offer a postage service to one nearby. Its a bit finniky (spelling) because if you buy an airgun over the phone, you either have to collect it or have it sent to a registered firearms holder and then collect it from them. Afterwards however, you can send it anywhere and recieve it back via post.

Hi all. I was wondering if its possible to buy a springer from SFS that is already tuned up? The information on the website gives very little away and I am after either a BSA Lightning, or a HW 95. I live some distance away from the shop so can't really get there and any info is appreciated. Many thanks.
