Videos And Experiments With Airguns.!!
Nicepix replied to Sp guns's topic in General Airgun Discussion
Kalimera. Te Kannis? -
I've just bought myself something similar for indoor / garden plinking. Can't see it being as powerful as the Aldi one though..............

I've had a few problems with that type of set up. Some of the larger rats are managing to reach the bait without stepping onto the trigger plate. They seem to eat what they can reach and not venture onto the plate to get their noses into the cup to finish the bait off. Not every time. But now and again I'd get the same problem. In the end I used a plastic tool box, cut holes either side near to the top and put two Mk. IV springers inside covered with straw from a chicken coop and hung a bird feeder fat ball inside right in the middle. If you're struggling with the bait box set up as you said

There's a review of the Diana Mauser replica in the July issue of Airgun World. Overall positive. The reviewer says he was hitting a 40mm kill zone freestanding at 20 yards consistently, and plinking tin cans at 55 yards, all freestanding with open sights... You'll find that an air gun's accuracy with Airgun World depends almost entirely on how much the maker's advertising budget is. Obviously Diana are in the lower end of advertising revenue.

Tweaked The Tx A Little
Nicepix replied to mattwhite's topic in Rifle Reviews, Technical Help and Tips
I think that any gun can be improved with a little tweaking or tuning. The margin of improvement when tuning a Pro Sport or TX is marginal compared to the bigger differences when properly tuning a HW97. The biggest improvement on a PS or TX is in fettling the trigger mechanism. -
Tweaked The Tx A Little
Nicepix replied to mattwhite's topic in Rifle Reviews, Technical Help and Tips
Matt, when you say that you polished the piston I take it you meant the inside of the cylinder as the piston runs on buttons? There is no metal to metal contact. Just polishing the inside of the cylinder will sometimes make a difference to a new gun, but sometimes it is the piston seal that is literally the sticking point. If the piston is hard to push down the cylinder then it is probably the seal that is ever so slightly too large or too stiff if it is an older gun. You can get new seals cheaply enough or you can boil an older one to reinvigorate it. What I do, and I'm not saying that t -
It represents the next step up from the TX200 (Their words not mine)

I agree.....you really would of thought in the last friendly before a tournament he would know what his team is yet i dont think he even knows what formation he,s going to start them in..........i was listening on Talksport today Perry Groves made me laugh he was on about Kane taking the corners comparing it to when you was at school the kid who could kick the ball the furthest took all the set plays .....why is our most dangerous striker taking corners !......im quite happy with the players Hodgsons picked i just think he is such a negative type of coach that we just wont see them at their b

Makes you wonder how we used to get on back then. No Chronies. We gauged power by how the pellet penetrated a wooden fence post. No bipods, sticks, etc. We actually had to hold our guns in our hands But at least everyone had a rangefinder. Well, everyone who still had two eyes that is I only had .177s all the way through from 1970-71 when I got my Milbro 16, through the BSA years, into the brief Weihrauch HW77 period right up to buying my first PCP, a Logun in .22 around twelve years ago. The first .22 I'd ever owned. Soon went back to .177 though, and a springer

didnt think much of kane and few others , thought walker was very good , dont think we will go far looking at to night Kane, Vardy and others stifled by Woy's tactics. He's got the full backs going forward and the strikers defending. If he continues that policy Vardy will be sent off virtually every match.

Thinking about it we rarely call it a packed dinner, we'd say pack-up for your dinner. "Can you do me a sarnie for my pack up? Tar" Yorkshire colliers called it snap. As in snap time. My Dad used to have a tin snap box. Apparently they needed it to be tin to stop the mice from getting in dah'n t'pit . The Geordie lads called it bait.

It is a shame when threads such as this are spoilt by the usual suspect. Time for the Mods to wave a red card IMO

I agree its not ideal. All the other holiday homes I have on contract get cut at least every two weeks. I'd assumed that this would be the same. Having said that; it took him a full day to cut the entire area last time he was here and that was with an Iseki tractor and 2 metre cutting deck. I reckon this time he'd be better letting a local farmer do it for haylage.

Sometimes I only find the traps after the grass has been cut Its a new customer. Usually the customers employ groundsmen to keep the grass down. That's why I bury the traps and spray the turf with marker paint. If I'd have known that these weren't going to have it cut between their visits I could have put some marker flags in.

I thought that he was rather good in the early to mid season. Faded at the end though. Probably only got picked because he's from a fashionable team

LIke this one you mean Is it right that there's three world cup winning medals on display at West Ham's ground?

From my dim and distant past when my dad was a club steward in Leeds: Jubilee Stout, Mackison, Babycham and Cherry B. Those little cherries on plastic sticks shaped like a sword and everybody having to be quiet when the bingo started.

Mongrel. Everybody used to own a mongrel. Now they all own cockadoos or labradollies. Or bull crosses.

There is an answer to the OP's situation. Not a pistol though. Well, not even a 'proper' air gun, more of a kid's toy. The trigger pull is shite due to it also powering the revolving plastic magazine. The power band is wider than a US highway meaning that for longer range shooting it is laughably inaccurate. I'm not selling this am I? But it is multi shot and powerful enough to kill a rat at close range. And I don't mean by hitting it over the head with the stock. Well, give the stock is hollow plastic that wouldn't be a good idea. So, if you want a short, actually very short, rifle that

I don't do wopsts and bees so that aspect doesn't worry me. The bloody rats however are another thing. I'd no intention of doing rat jobs, but there seems to be a plague of them this year and it would be wrong to refuse to help my mole clients. The rain has only just stopped after five days of continual downpours and storms and three months of more rain than shine. This morning I had a welly malfunction. Wet sock - nothing worse. And I hadn't a dry glove to my name. Called in at a shop and bought a pair of cheap wellies and three pairs of gloves. I'd been rotating my wet weather gear to

I Want A B2 !! What's Wrong With Me ?
Nicepix replied to dayglowfrog's topic in General Airgun Discussion
You are in more danger of being injured by the swarf on the mechanism than if shot by one -
The cocking lever is fine as long as you leave it alone, or know what you are doing if you don't leave it alone. The problem comes if you strip the rifle and don't put it back quite right. Putting too many washers in or too long a top hat can cause problems where the rifle cocks but the cocking lever doesn't click back in its right place.

It was only a couple of weeks ago you were slagging Carroll off, saying he shouldn't play for England cause he got booked. You talk some crud aye. That was before he realised that two-thirds of the England squad had been booked that month. Defoe's been and went. He's had his chance and is unlikely to perform better now than then. Carroll could be an option, but Kane & Vardy complement each other so well and Rashford is in it for the experience just like Walcott was taken to the World cup while still in nappies. Shame Drinkwater isn't going, but England's midfield is quite good
