Clubshot Posted January 19, 2014 Report Share Posted January 19, 2014 Promethues is a Trading Name - For Pax Guns Plastic Skirted - with metal heads still sell in their Millions home and overseas Mainly as they do not compact on impact - Are made for Air rifles with No choke - Springers Work a Treat in my HW90 Funny how paintent has expired and several other manufactures have recently brought out their Versions Rather a Joke as many UK Shooters make jokes but overseas Shooters can not buy in enough Far better to Export than Sell to UK Shooters - their Loss - BOB/R Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NIGHT SEARCHER Posted January 19, 2014 Report Share Posted January 19, 2014 (edited) I still have a tub of the prometheus from the mid 80s. They have a clear Nylon or Plastic shroud around a pointed stainless steel centre. They were a gimmick and in accurate. 30 years and i still have about 70 left out of 100. I still have a tub of SABOs from Sussex Armoury about 90 left out of 100. Another gimmick from the 80s. I have lost the loading pen years ago. They were killed off by Air gun Silencers. You couldn`t use them with a Silencer on your gun. The outer sheath used to open has it left the barrel and get stuck in the Silencer baffles. Thanks for the memories my first HW 80 and HW 77. My Ex was Gorgeous and my kids were just Babies. Happy Days. Edited January 19, 2014 by NIGHT SEARCHER Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
