  1. That looks neat, thank you I'll have that.... PM sent 😃
  2. Hi all, If anyone has the shoulder stock for a Crosman 2240 would you be good enough to PM me please? Yes I could get one from Ebay but we then run the risk of unscrupulous sellers. On here, I've never been let down yet. 😉 H
  3. So did I, at a huge Queen wasp 😞
  4. Sorry it's Ebay, but here's the link: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/134773370993 Enjoy, my fellow intrepid Gat Gun fans 😄
  5. My quest is at an end 😃😃😃😃😃, I found the Gat Gun fly swatter on Ebay, I have messaged the seller, who makes these things asking for a link. When he sends it I will post it here, so if you'e struggling for that obscure Christmas present for your Wife, (I bought mine a Lathe for Easter one year) why not pop one of these in His/Her stocking. If they appear ungrateful, you can always use it yourself 😉
  6. I thought that, "a break barrel pop out pistol?" 😂
  7. Thank you for the photo, 1066 and I'll have look at that review in a minute. With no shame at all, I'm going to ask....Does anyone have the fly swatter device that came with the Gat Gun, and could it be for sale? I've looked everywhere and even enquired on Pigeon watch before. 😃😃😃
  8. My word an accurate one 😲, good shooting 👍 Were the Cat slugs so called because they were used to ping at cats "trespassing" into a garden for a 'tom tit' amongst the vegetable patch or in my case, a decent heap out on my dog's grave?
  9. The chrome one was really posh 😲, I couldn't afford one of them. Like Robden, we also ran around shooting each other with them, it stung a bit if by some miracle someone got a shot on target but that was all. There was a massive variety of ammunition available, pellets, darts, BB's nails, stones...anything that would fit into the barrel really 😇. Ditchman asked "what if the hole into the barrel was bigger?" I thought about that, there is a 1mm hole right through the barrel, if it were bigger there would be more swept air entering the breech to push the pellet forward, but would it still allow the pressure build up? There's no way back from doing that as there's no such thing as a "putting on drill" I wouldn't want to destroy one of mine BUT if anyone does give it a try, let me know how it goes please 😃
  10. I think there should be a national Gat Gun competition 😃😃😃
  11. Hi all, I have two of these hopelessly inaccurate little air pistols, both were flagging in power and one wouldn't even pop the pellet though the target so, bored one day, I took one to bits and as you can see from the photo, there is indeed a piston washer in there and the gun doesn't just chuck the pellet out. After a bit of inspection, it was reasonably obvious that this washer weren't a lot of cop and it needed a new one. A bit of research on the "net" and a phone call to Mark Knibbs turned up nothing, so I decided to make my own. The result was excellent 😊 I have a full 2ft Lbs hopelessly inaccurate gat gun to play with. if anyone has similar issues, don't throw the gun away, I am happy to make a few more of these washers for you to fit at home. Send me a PM and I'll see if I can help. H.
  12. Keepers Diary DVD for sale in case, I think I watched it once 🤔 Oh, I don't know... £5 posted to a UK address? Kind regards, H
  13. Hi all, I'm finding all kinds of "let's hang on to this, just in case" as I have a spring clean. I'm offering two hard beds, the pink one has a couple of minor battle scars from when our little Jack Russell took exception to me removing his bean bag bed, and dragged this bed around the kitchen in an absolute temper tantrum. ( Wouldn't have minded but this wasn't to be his bed.) The black one is unharmed. The beds were occupied by a small JR and a Lakeland Terrier. The dog Crates are in excellent condition. These were for the same dogs. I'd like £15 each for the crates and £5 each for the beds. I think we'll struggle to post these, so collection only please. Kind regards, Paul
  14. "sold" to Steve-b-wales 😊 Thank you
  15. Hi all, I need to clear out my garage loft and as I start I've found my decoys. There are half a dozen flock coated shells, four full bodied and a manual flapper thing. There are some stakes for the decoys too. I'm packing up shooting and I don't want anything for them, so if you would like them, come and collect. I live in South East Cambridge, send me a PM. H
  16. Bit of a long shot, but does anyone have a 12hp Briggs Engine for sale please? It would be off a ride on mower with vertical drive, a pulley at the bottom of the crankshaft to drive the belt.,It must be electric start too. The old snapper ride on mowers used to have this engine, as did the earlier Murray lawnmowers. I can collect it if you're not too far away, but please let me know your price in any reply. Many thanks.
  17. Where in the UK are you Pushandpull? I am quite capable of servicing a tired Airsporter. Bring the bits and I can probably do it while you wait, which mark is it? 😉
  18. I bought my Wife an Atlas 10F lathe for Easter one year, she complained so much I had to go out and buy her a chocolate egg and use the lathe myself. How ungrateful 😲
  19. Simpsons of Newmarket had one....
  20. The original piston heads were aluminium, BSA changed them to nylon at some point. Each one I have repaired, the nylon piston head was swollen and jammed in the cylinder. The answer was to replace it with an aluminium one. Phosphor bronze might be too heavy, although you probably have one of the most expensive piston heads in existence 😂. As Old'un suggested, sometimes a stronger spring isn't the best answer to the quest for more power.
  21. I have an old Webley Falcon, .22 flavour CW red/green illuminated reticle 3- 9 x 40 scope. The air rifle is probably due some TLC, I have replaced the barrel latch spring recently as the breech popped open when fired. It has the most amazing recoil for an air rifle, I keep meaning to take it apart to investigate the spring inside. If you're interested £50?
  22. If I'm not too late... BB's are .175" the pellets are .177", that's a fairly good reason why they fall out of the barrel 😉😁
