  8. if it is a well known make.....and good model it is likely that there are parts still availble for it..........it really depends wether you like it or not...........its the equiverlent to the Browning auto ...(the first one)....many people think it is the ugliest gun they have ever seen....i like them with a passion... im going quite for a bit on the Merc S re-build at the moment...as all the parts are in 'cept the cocking lever.......and im doing some reseach on the varity of springs i could use... i might ...if it is going to be a while waiting for it to come..... finish the Garrett Turbo charger rebuild.........

PS...why dont you do it yourself....plenty of help on here you know....you dont even have to ask..
  14. these have a very good rep' as regards to accuracy...very small groups at 11.8ftlbs..........they were brought out to compete against the German imported springers....the rifle is mechaically perfect now...proberly better than new...with a better spring...not a more powerful spring but a better one...and using my dry grease...it has every oppotunity to shoot better than the air arms one i did a few mths ago... not happy with the Milbro select pellets i got....they are too small at 4.5mm.................JSB Exact do a 4.5mm...4.52mm....and a 4.53mm pellet so i will play with then to start of with..
  15. Looking better that that old polyarmoured varnish........i could see a bit of figure under it but i didnt think it would be better........
  16. Was informed today that all the new parts and upgrades will be available to pick up tomorrow.....so i thought i would have a quick wixx around the mechanicals to see if there was anything i had missed........... checked everything but was not truly happy with the detante lock.....couldnt quite figure it out but it wasnt sounding perfect....i had cleaned the old grease out...ab#nd shoved the spring and lock back in.....anyway i thought i would be really anal and polish out the cylinder which the lock bolt slides in..so i does this with a dowel of wood and fine wet&dry..........so i start to do this and pull the dowel out and its all cut and mashed up....so i stich some petrol in and use a small screwdriver ...and out comes this bloody stuff....what you see is half of it.....been in there for 30 odd years bloody drilling swarfe from when it was made........so i polish it out....wash it out with jungle juice pack it full of grease...put it back together......RESULT...it is as slick as snot.. few more drops of oil on the wood...coming along nicely............... ...(i rekon anyway)
  17. This year last mth after changing insurance companies EVERY DAMN YEAR.....Adrian Flux...sent my renewal thro....... SAME PRICE AS LAST YEAR ....no fuss no bover....for a change.........................

  21. this one came devoid of colour............i have some gold leaf and size about somewhere...might just do it.....i will test fire it first and if it performs well then i might do it...
  22. it is reconditioned.....its just the nature of the beast.....to be quite frank i prefere it to use a bit of oil....then i know it is been lubed......CAT engines use about 1/2 pint a day.... i pay £23.00 for my pure mineral oil 4 litres........its 15w/40
  23. this is the guide/cradle that keeps the loading arm straight when cocking ....the cocking arm was none spec and damaged and it scaped and damaged the cradle...i have a new cocking arm coming and when i fit it ....it will slide smoothly thro the cradle which i have flattened off now....this while also be greased unlike the rest of the rifle...
