I used to work at the factory in Nottinghamshire where the first four P51 prototypes were built, I am also very fond of the sound of Merlin and Griffon engines, makes the hair stand up on the back of my neck...

Saw this in a cabinet at the Imperial War Museum at Duxford last week. Also saw the very cool Masters of the Air collection of American aircraft. And a few Spitfires...

Here is my 157 with an alternative grip, I was going for a Ted Williams vibe, shame I can't get the vented rib...

Picked up another Wiehrauch HW45 in 0.22 flavour today for a bargain price of 100 UK pounds, it's a bit scruffy, but is doing just under 5 ftlbs, so I am happy. Found a couple of more interesting grips from my spares box. Got an Aussie parachute seal on the way from down under and I will be...

How about finding an old set of Model 41 grips and trying to adapt them? https://www.smith-wesson.com/product/model-41-7-barrel

Any target cards with some dime-size groups to show us? 😜

Tried out my recently acquired Rohm Twinmaster Top at six yards with a single arm hold, taking it to the range to try it out at 10m next, hope I can keep the groups as tight...

Two 0.22's for you to view too.

I think it might be something to do with airsoft versions and aligning the hop-up.

Crosman? 🤔

Tried out my rebuilt Birmingham made 0.177 Webley Tempest today at 10m. Even with the rear sight at its lowest position, it was shooting high, so it took quite a bit of effort to get ten shots in the black. A bit of sight tweaking required...

First proper session at 10m with the HW45, quite pleased to keep most of the shots in the black - after a bit of practice and some tweaking of the sight...

It has been done, but I don't know if you can get these in Türkiye. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/334111979484 I have never tried them myself, so I do not know what the quality is like.

My new 0.22 thug arrived today, only just had time to check the power; 5.5 ftlbs on full power and 3.5 ftlbs on the low power setting, not that I will be using that option much. Feels great with the Hogue grip. 😁
