intenseaty22, For me, rifles such as the HW50S do not run at best efficiency with such heavy pellets. The HW50S has, arguably, the best bore & stroke for a sub 12 ft.lb rifle. My HW99S (British designation of the HW50S) is at its most efficient with the JSB Express pellet (7.87 gr.) JSB RS...

Hello to All, When needed, I use PFPAE greases & oils for most of my internal airgun lubing - Krytox & Microlubrol are the brands I use. If needed, I reinforce the PPFPAE greases & oils with 0.5 micron tungsten disulphide powder. For my springers, I burnish in a mix of 75% tungsten disulphide...

Bob, +1 on the Krytox lubes (GPL-105 oil & GPL-205 grease) - they are superb. You can also get PFPE lubes at less scalping prices from Microlubrol : http://www.microlubrol.com/doorhatchandtoprubberseals.aspx Have fun & a good Sunday :) Best regards Russ

TrailRyder42, I use Krytox GPL-205 grease, and GPL-105 oil - and for me, they work superbly. You can also mix the Krytox oil & grease with tungsten disulphide (WS2) or molybdenum disulphide (MoS2) powder, to add some boundary lube for areas of high pressure. 0.5 micron WS2 & MoS2 can be had...

Steve, I fitted my Tony Leach 22mm TX200 innards a couple of weeks ago. Totally superb :) Have fun & a good weekend :) Best regards Russ

Hello to All, +1 on the Krytox GPL-105 oil & 205 grease. If you need to, you can also mix the Krytox with moly or WS2 powder. Only downside to Krytox lubes is the price - GPL-105 oil is around 1.50 USD per mL in the UK :( Have fun & a good Sunday :) Best regards Russ

Joe, For me (somewhat sadly) an air-rifle/air-pistol is not a 'real' airgun unless it is powered by a spring. I really appreciate my SSPs - a Walther LG90 & a Baikal IZH-46M, but it is my springers that are my true love. Yesterday, I installed a Tony Leach 22mm conversion into my TX200, and...

BS_Sage, I use Crosman, but I have no objective proof that they are any better (or worse) than any other brand. I use them in my Tau7 Match, and get around sixty-five (65) shots per caplet Have fun & a good Sunday :) Best regards Russ

bowwild, The R2 Chrono's are ca. 170 USD in the UK (120 GBP). Quite expensive, but very, very good. IIRC, you can buy direct from lmbr : [email protected] Have fun & a good Sunday :) Best regards Russ

Hello to All, Just back the Q-tip up with a pellet. Here in the UK, we also use cigarette filters - the kind you use for hand-rolling cigarettes (also back this up with a pellet). The most commonly used type used for cleaning here are pull through's - either fishing/strimmer line, or types...

Jason, If you are lucky, you may avoid the dreaded HW30S galling issues. The below is a photo of my brand new 0.177" HW30S, with no shots through it by me. You can see the galling caused by the cocking arm knuckle on the cylinder, and the two divots (arrowed) are where the cocking arm knuckle...

Joe, Please have a peek here : https://chrono.lmbr.pl/products.html I have used the R2 over the last year, and have been very impressed with it :) Have fun & a good weekend :) Best regards Russ

Jonny, My friend has one and we have used it extensively with center-fire rifles, and also comparing it to a Lab Radar chrono'. These two (2) chrono's agreed perfectly :) The Magnetospeed works very well indeed - we used it to successfully develop loads for his 6.5 Creedmoor. Never tried it...

Joe, +1 on the video. My Diana 66 is stamped 04-78, and it shoots sublimely :) In fact, it shoots better than my Diana 75 ! Have fun :) Best regards Russ

Hello to All, Scotland already has passed legislation that requires a license (permit) to own, buy, sell & shoot airguns, no matter what the muzzle energy. This has been in place for almost a year, and they have a huge backlog of applications to get through. This license requires application...

Art, IIRC, Tim McMurray (https://www.mac1airgunshop.com/aboutus.asp) used to do work on the IZH46, and can supply a new valve seal & valve chamber setup. Have fun & a good weekend :) Best regards Russ

Joe, I got my SS 10x42M (sold via Tasco) in the late 1990s. It cost me then equivalent then of ca. 1300 USD. Came in a plain white cardboard box with the NSN stamped on it. I have used the scope on two (2) full-bore rifles (0.308W) - an Enfield L39 & a BAT actioned long-range target rifle...

Hello to All, WRT air rifles & pistols, there are some useful schematics/exploded diagrams on the Chambers website : https://www.gunspares.co.uk/categories/23960/Airgun-spares/ Have fun & a good Sunday :) Best regards Russ

Old-Duckman, If you can stand the cost (which makes hardened men of the SAS break down in tears !), Krytox GPL-105 oil works superbly with leather sealed 'springers'. Not only is it incredibly 'slippy', it is totally non-flammable, so cannot 'diesel'. Superb stuff :) I paid the equivalent of...

bouddha, I have the Diana models 6, 6M, & 10. They are lovely pistols to shoot, and most accurate :) Pellets around 7 gr. will keep the velocity up - I use RWS R10 (7.0 gr.) & JSB Match Light (Green label, 7.33 gr.), Enjoy yours ! Have fun & a good Sunday :) Best regards Russ
