    A couple of questions mate, is it a brass thread or is it just a thread tapped into the plastic? What gun is it. And what bipod/sling stud are you using? I only ask as if it's just plastic then your best bet would be to either fit a brass nut into the stock using epoxy. Alternatively if it's a brass thread and the thread has stripped, replace it. It will take some elbow grease to get the old thread out but you can then use the same hole and fit a new nut/thread for it. 

    As blackbriar said loctite 4090 is an option although very expensive. Get yourself some strong multi material epoxy, bit of a pain to work with sometimes so wear gloves and if you are doing it indoors get ready for a ride from the fumes :rofl:

    If you have a picture of the thread it might be worth chucking it on here and we can advise better. Hope this all helps dude :) 

     

     

    It's a bsa scorpion t10 using a harris bipod. So it's a metal stud going into a plastic stock - would it be simple enough to get a brass nut into the stock and stick it in?

     

    I can't get a photo up as I'm away for a few days but will try when I get back! 

  4. Should I upgrade to an hw100

    in Rifle Reviews, Technical Help and Tips

    Posted

    I've been offered a hw100 second hand. I'm considering selling my bsa scorpion t10, adding a couple of hundred quid and upgrading to the hw100. 

    Im generally happy with the bsa but I've heard the hw100 is lovely and a new gun is always tempting. 

    My only hesitation is the weight. Is the carbine version preferable?

     

    any thoughts would be great to help with this decision! 

  14. Shooting Jackdaws

    in General Airgun Discussion

    Posted

    Got quite a few jackdaws about atm but I've was warned that they were difficult to shoot. Apparently they have a small brain so once when my friend shot one in the head (near the eye) it didn't die, also he said that they have strong flying muscles, tough breast bone and tough wing joints.

     

    Are they this difficult to shoot? Where is the best place to aim for?

  16. Empty Bottle?

    in Rifle Reviews, Technical Help and Tips

    Posted

    When filling my pcp - I can't get anymore than 170 bar in. Normally it goes to the 190 bar that I need.

     

    Does this mean that the bottle is running out?

    (I know its probs a stupid question but this will be the first time that I have filled it and the dive shop is 30 miles away so don't want a wasted journey.)

     

    Thanks

  19. Scorpion T10 Problems

    in Rifle Reviews, Technical Help and Tips

    Posted

    I was shooting at the target yesterday afternoon: The first 30 or so shots were all varied, lots of flyers, (I normally get tight groups out to 40 yards or so) then some of the pellets would thud into the ground before the target -this was at 25yards! I decided to top it up with air even though I should have had another 30 shots or so.. however all the rest of my shots seemed to be just as a random..

     

    I spoke to someone on the phone - he wondered whether the regulator needed fixing, but I didn't think that the T10 had one..

     

    Could anyone give me any help?

    Thanks

  20. Help With Attaching A Bipod

    I bought this for my Scorpion T10 but can't see how it should attach it to my sling swivel.. has anyone got anything similar to this and can help?

    Also do all sling studs have the same size threads?

     

    Thanks

  22. Bipod - Yay Or Nay?

    in Rifle Reviews, Technical Help and Tips

    Posted

    I know bipods have been discussed a lot in the past.. but It'd be great to know what people think atm - would a bipod be a good addition to my kit or would they make me a lazy shooter?

     

    Also if you're on a bit of a budget are the cheaper ones alright? I know if you buy cheap you buy twice but surely with a bit of care and repair they'd survive and do the job, right?
