    BE CAREFUL! SCAMS ABOUND OUT THERE!!!

    I had one of those emails a while back. I was pretty comfident it was bullpois, because I'm far to old to want a sherman tank, and never mind knocking one out in front of a computer. I responded to the effect that I was going to come round their house and stamp on all their toys and never heard...

    I wouldn't be disappointed.

    No Hatsan Love around here ?

    I think Bandg has it. If youre paying pennies and expect Rolls Royce performance then you may be disappointed. However, if you're a tinkerer and prepared to have a go (and none of it is difficult or requires specialist equipment) then they can be a lot of fun. Certainly now I've sorted mine...

    Where does hw97 fall in springer ratings?

    Medium, although we have a 12ftlb limit here. A nice gun though, just feels good in the hands.

    No Hatsan Love around here ?

    Hatsan 900X owner here. Very happy with it too. Trigger is a bit crap, but thats a matter of feel rather than performance. Much like one would with a Chinese rifle I've had a play and at zero cost its much improved. Its was a noisy, rough old thing, but once again thats a matter of feel...

    .177 or .25

    It'll make for a frustrating plinker. The smaller calibers are simply better at putting lead on target, and the further you shoot the more the gap widens.

    Modified CP1

    Thanks guys. It is a lot if fun, and cheap to buy. It's the Kandar version from Poland. I checked the exchange rates daily and bought on a day when the pound was doing well against the zloty so it was about £65 delivered to my door. Great to shoot and laser accurate out of the box. ...

    When is stainless steel NOT stainless steel?

    Looking at some adverts at retailers over here, and the ads are all nearly identical - they're clearly just reproducing Weirauch's own blurb (or they're all collaborating to produce the same description in their ads, which seems unlikely). None of them, not even Weirauch themselves, are...

    When is stainless steel NOT stainless steel?

    Doesn't STL stand for "Stainless Look" finish? Bit of a give away.

    Gifted Chinese Underlever Not sure how old or which model Early B3-1 ???

    What a great little project. If you know the dimensions a machine shop could easily knock you up a spring guide in Delrin, which is light, strong, doesn't rattle and is very low friction. Wouldn't have thought it would cost a lot if you're happy to wait for them to do it during downtime...

    Modified CP1

    Team, Thought you might like this. It's a Kandar CP1 woth a modded stock. I trimmed the pistol stock and mated it to a sawn off XS19 stock I had knocking about. Screwed and glued, so it's a solid join alright. Then filled, rubbed down, filled some more, rubbed down a bit more...you get...

    Show your remote workspace.

    I retired on the 31st December after serving the Queen in various capacities for 33 years. Still getting used to shooting when I want, although most ranges are closed at the moment so Im a backyard sniper.

    How do you like em? Squeaky clean or just a bit of gray?

    I don't think flossing with an old towel will work on a gun barrel!

    Why are so many pcp's made in Turkey

    Turkey isn't part of the EU, and nor is it ever likely to be while they maintain an illegal army of occupation in an EU country (Cyprus). I don't know why so many air weapons come from Turkey, but HPAman's theory is as good as any. I wonder how long manifacturers like Kral and Hatsan will...

    BE CAREFUL! SCAMS ABOUND OUT THERE!!!

    It's not all a scam - for example, it turns out I had a wealthy Uncle in Nigeria who has just passed away, and once ive sent the £20,000 admin fee his $6,000,000 bamk account is all mine...
