mark williams 7,549 Posted October 16, 2014 Report Share Posted October 16, 2014 The range i go to actually have their own workshop (gunsmith) and are "forever" fixing Daystate problems because Daystate dont want to know you once they have your money, According to Daystate owners - of which i am not, atb 1 Quote Link to post
Pink or stink 162 Posted October 16, 2014 Report Share Posted October 16, 2014 Both my MK1V rattled in the stock despite the rifles having a huge fixing bolt. I just put a strip of velcro between the stock and the air cylinder as it was just at the front the stock was hitting the tube. 2 Quote Link to post
John Stott 202 Posted October 16, 2014 Report Share Posted October 16, 2014 The shroud on my Regal ( the one that went back to Daystate with a seized bolt ) rattled as well. I fixed it by attaching a shim. I will have a Villaman moment ( nice fellow is he ) The magazine became pellet fussy, it would only feed JSB's. Cured it with a Rowan single shot magazine. In fact Daystate could sort out all of their quality control / dodgy parts issues by using Rowan to make all of their working parts. Use BSA barrels, then get Air Arms to supply the bolts and bolt handles. The stocks are already Italian. Hell I think I just made some good suggestions there......... 1 Quote Link to post

Probably another Air Arms though. Then I might forgive two wars and go German, the price and choice of stocks appeals, I like bolts....am I too old to adapt? Must say I like the flush top on the HW100, like BSA it allows low mounts. A fair few I know have gone over to German and seem totally converted. The Daystate sits in the truck on jobs, I use my old S410. Frankly lost faith in it and fed up having to fart about constantly fiddling with it. I want reliability, not a prima donna. Such a shame, the handling is good, it is accurate for me out to sixty yards and it is a good looking rifle. My "boy" just bought a Mk 4. He likes gadgets that go "bleep". I shot it on our range last week, frankly I do not see the point in it. Takes the fun out of shooting. Not amused when I asked him if you can watch Babe Station on the screen, then he's Welsh and suffers from Humour Bypass Syndrome, and has more money than sense. Still, I like discussing Daystate with folk, the rifles are sound designs, apart from the electronic IMHO. It seems like BSA, if you get one that works it works well. Watch this space, might just forgive Fritz for Dunkirk yet 1 Quote Link to post
