Cant the gun over towards you then lift/swing the stock to the barrels - the more angle the less effort to close the gun.
-
Take the stock off - only 3 screws I think, that will make it shorter. Not sure that you could sell it in Germany - think the legal limit there is 6ft/lb.
-
Anyone had any replies on these? Not heard a peep since OP ad.

Brilliant machines - beat most costing twice the price.

That's me out Stu - I don't have a bath . BTW - I'm happy ( just to be fair to you) for you to only shoot the pellet into your foot at 300 fps as the difference in penetration, apparently, between that velocity and the free falling pellet can be disregarded. You can use your Gel to plug the hole in your foot?
-
Sorry Saltings, only 8" - I used to be able to bend a 6" Nail over it - not anymore however..............not since my wrists have got weak.
-
If Stu's statement is correct i.e penetration is not relative to velocity - then can he post a video of himself A/ dropping a pellet on his foot then B/shooting a pellet into his foot - make sure you use the same weight pellet Stu to avoid any confusion over what exactly caused your trip to A&E.

Not in the slightest Velocette - I have the greatest respect for your good self regardless of our difference of opinion. I honestly believe, however, that if you were in my shoes you would be happy to donate. You would be most welcome to any part of me if you ever needed it.

I have absolutely no beef with anyone who wants to opt out - whatever the reason is of no concern, it's an individuals choice and that, at the end of the day, is the one thing that no one should take away. But when you die it's over - I cannot understand why people would resist the chance to save some one else's life - it's not going to hurt or make you less of a loss to those that loved you and you will certainly not be treated like a scrap car and simply stripped of your parts - more likely you will be remembered with more respect than by more than those close to you - the individuals whose life you dramatically change will remember and be grateful to you for the rest of their days - you will become their saviour and they will be reminded of this fact every day that they wake up and enjoy a relatively normal life. No matter which side of the fence you find more attractive I believe that the greatest decider should be, as already mentioned countless times, if you can honestly say that you would refuse a Donor organ if your life depended on it - try 3 years of gradual Kidney failure before you answer , try being scared witless every time you pass blood, try explaining that you cannot take your kids to school or watch them on sports day like their friends dads can - and then explain to them that the future only holds more pain and emotional torture for the whole family. Then decide on your choice.

Am I alone in thinking that a 16 should be as God intended.....a SxS?

What do you do with your birds at the end of the day

Normally call mine a Taxi . -
Holzhausen Piles? - pretty sure I've got some cream for that .
-
yes please - will you post?

Try a different cartridge.

Whereabouts are you? I bought a used Annie for £400 and it's an absolute tack driver - bought it from a dealer so I have some come back if it turned it to be a dog - seen one at another dealer for £700!! I would look at CZ's in both calibres - going to be hard to beat them where value is concerned.

Match is more important than priority in most cases and is the first thing checked for when an organ becomes available.
-
On the ball as always Ultrastu - if you want the other half to use it as well then the S200 is as good as anything else out there.
-
Well done Sir - hope your experience helps to reassure others that the Police are not always the "bad guys" - now put it behind you and enjoy life - this is not a dress rehearsal.
-
The screw behind the trigger adjusts both first and second stage pull weight - turn it clockwise (inwards) half a turn at a time till you are happier with the first stage pull - the second stage will also increase in weight but as second stage travel is minimal you probably wont notice it.
-
If your land is already cleared for FAC then you should be fine but why not simply buy a .22lr, cheaper, quieter and variable power depending on what you feed it + the cost of Tanks etc buys a heck of a lot of .22 ammo - not much beats the sound of a Squirrel being hit by a subsonic .22lr.

Doubt that the victory holds 1 ltr of Air - shot count is dismal at around 30/charge.

Top lever very stiff on opening, can it be eased?
bruno22rf replied to Wingman's topic in Guns & Equipment
Take it back - that's not acceptable - do not remove the stock or you will face warranty issues - the top lever should not be appreciably stiffer when the gun has been fired only the force needed to lower the barrels - if it is then the ejectors might be causing the problem? These guns have heavy duty hammer springs I believe - might also need a look at but I would demand a replacement if it's less than 3 months old. -
We need to remember that this legislation has been introduced to save lives - nothing more. Countless thousands of people have agreed to donate but never get around to signing the form (which can be over ridden by surviving relatives) so I'm guessing this way cures that problem. I can completely see why some people argue that having to opt out is unfair as consent is assumed but you have the choice if you feel strongly enough to opt out or simply mention to your next of kin. Do not assume that organs are just given away - to get mine I had to undergo mental assessment , heart and brain scans via an internal camera, gain weight, quit smoking, get fit and have 6 teeth removed before I was put on the list, on the night that I was called 3 of us sat in a waiting area undergoing test after test for nearly 12 hours - one poor guy had contracted a virus and was excluded after waiting for 2 years so when the organ arrived it was down to best match divided by best chance of surviving the operation (the consent form that you sign just before the OP lists "death" as the most common side effect) - I was fortunate enough to be a perfect match so underwent 17 hours of surgery as my prize. It's not easy on anybody this transplant business, but it saves lives.

A bumper crop of Walnuts - now I'm green with envy. Only one tree I know of locally and it's a magnet for tree rats - too near to kids play area to shoot and the situation with the squizzers is so bad that the owner has cut back any saplings around the base and put an upside down plastic dustbin lid around the trunk to stop them getting into the tree - not much help cos they still somehow manage to clear the tree of it's nuts. Not long now till I get started - the landowners now have 6k acres so there must be some of the little pests lurking around .

With so much natural food around you might have to bribe them with something that they cannot refuse - peanuts at the very least but shops like Lidl do mixed bags of nuts or buy a couple of bags of various types and mix them yourself - Brazil and Walnuts seem effective if mixed with peanuts. Should be a few youngsters around by now - Natures version of a pellet catcher .
