Lovely gun. I bought one identical to that last year from a shop and paid nearly double that price for it. Some dont like short barrels, but i prefer them as they suit my style better.

That is indeed the bargain of the century if you see what these normally go for. Ive got one myself and it cost me over twice this price. Cracking guns.

Very nice bike, ive a 1995/6 one myself!

I had something similar the other day, I was walking along minding my own business and this tranny van pulls up and the bloke asks me if i want a king sized matteress or know anyone who does.

Got a new lad started at work and yesterday we were talking about old arcade games we used to play as kids... He hadnt heard of half of them. So I have a look online and the ones i remembered were from like 1982/83/84. He wasnt born until 1991!!!!!!

A visit to your local gun shop is what you need to do here. Try a few out within your price range, then walk away and do more research on line about those you have short listed. Thats what i did. I had about 900quid to spend and went out with the idea to buy an HW100. I ended up buying a 2nd hand S410K in .22 simply because it was lighter and felt more natural for me to use. I paid about £450 for it probably 4 years ago, and looking at the for sale forums, they still fetch that now. As with any popular good gun they will hold their value. In my case the s410 has proven to be perfect, and has counted for hundreds of pigeons, rabbits, squirrels. Its easy to service youself every few years. My other favourite air rifle is a Theoben Rapid. Ive one in .20, although compared to the s410 its a heavy old tractor.

Wow!

Thats a right bargain. I recently paid more than that to have my sabel serviced! Would have been cheaper to chuck it in the bin & buy another!

Ive 2 of these. One at home & one at work. I was sceptical about the running costs of them, but it works out between 25p and 50p per cup of coffee and its proper stuff too, so works out cheaper than the local coffee shop. Its also good cos its not just coffee, it also does hot chocolates and teas. My missus hates coffee but love the milka milk chocolate they do.

Be worth checking reviews to see how these pattern, im sure I read somewhere when i was considering a .410 adapter for my 12 bore that the patterning is a lot worse than if you fired it through an actual .410 gun. When I factored the price in, it was cheaper for me to just buy an old .410 shotgun instead!

s410`s are mega easy to work on, so you should be able to clean that up easily enough. Good luck with it.

Bikes are amazingly cheap these days, you can get a lot for your money. You can pick up an early R1 like mine for about 2grand, very easy to ride, can poodle along in 6th gear through traffic, or hit 115mph in 2nd year on the back wheel if your that way inclined. And if your 40 or over its only £60 to insure it. If its definitely v-twin then Aprilla RSV`s are very cheap now. You can even pick up a Ducati 996 for £3500. Spoilt for choice really! Ive riden a TL1000R a few times and personally didnt like it. Riding position wasnt good for me and I didnt like low rev limit. It seemed I was constantly having to change gear. If you go for a TL make sure you get a steering dampner if it doesnt have one. They are very twitchy. The Triumph 955 never really seemed very popular when it came out, i only knew one lad who had one and he said it felt heavy compared to other bikes he`d had. The SV650 was a popular bike, sort of a poor mans ducati although it looked more like a 125 from the size of it. Very popular with first time riders though. Maybe worth looking at the SV1000 like someone else said.

My s410 in .22 I know it inside out and have lost count of the amount of kills ive had with it. Although having recently bought a rapid 12 in .20 I may change my mind once i get more used to the rapid.

Would raise a few eyebrows at my local pheasant shoot. Awesome gun, had I an FAC id be interested.

What he said. Every MOT tester is different, and advisories are just what that particular tester thinks at that moment in time. Ive had cars before which have had advisories one year for something, ive done absolutely nothing about it, then next year its been fine. One of my cars had advisories for "worn suspension bushes" for 3 years running, then year 4 they were fine! Have a word with the tester and see what he was referring to, then speak to an expert to see if its actually something you need to address. Ive heard of some MOT places advising on things in order to generate more repair work for themselves in the past, so its best to get someone elses opinion on it.
