    Had a few pms asking how I did it so il copy and paste my reply........ Hi mate. Tbh it's all in the prep as you seen with mine was rusty as hell and now smooth as .I used heavy grade sandpaper then the lightest in a swirling motion as leaves circular marks everywhere that gives you a guide when irs done as when all the swirling is removed with wire wool its perfect then I ran the shower red hot and used fairy liquid with wire wool scrubbing everywhere untill you think its sparkling then a kettle full of boiling water all over it .pick it up with clean kitchen roll as any parts you touch with

    Forester would be ideal but like you say mpg not great Audi estate quattro diesel Think some newer saabs have 4 wheel drive and its subaru running gear on them a diesel one of them ? I get 75 miles to a tenner from my saab 93 vector sport and still pretty quick but not 4wd imagine they would be slightly worse on fuel but not a lot

    Seen as I was going round in circles with the re tapping I made a start on stripping the horrible blueing With blueing removed could see a lot of pitting so had to rub down with different grades of wet and dry 5 hours in total last night and still not there will do bit more later then get it all same using wire wool went with Phillips blueing as used it on a shotgun last year and worked a treat The birch blueing stripper I used absolutely stinks and has stunk the house out (probably shud of done it in garage but too cold lol) so I'm still in dog house with our lass over i

    Just went with that as I was going to order the welsh willy kit and they are the springs he uses with own top hat and spring guide so thaught I'd try it removing top hat and adding washers tbh pretty glad I did its pellet on pellet now and hardly any kick at all had 20 mins this morning with it and its dropped to 10.5 but is consistent as hell now going to put another 100 pellets through it see how settles down then possibly add 1 more pre load washer to bring power up The titan spring is a million times beter than the ox spring that was fitted did think about ordering the aa kit and if not

    Its a ultrafire 501b with a diy fitted refractive lens (turns beam from flood to spot and adds tons more throw/range). It was my brother who did the mod on it it makes a huge difference he has green led in his they both really good prob prefer the green tbh !

    Cheers tom ! Needs testing on bunnys 1 night now lol
  24. mattybugeye
    Thanks bud never really tapped anything out before so will source a kit . Cheers
  25. mattybugeye
    Yea got to agree ultrafires are unbelivble little things they all we use now unless driving round then use the hid lamp Got red led in mine the beam seems to go on foreva and so much easier than lamp nowt worse than getting tangled up in wires in pitch black and carrying a huge heavy battery :)
