While I must admit to being somewhat hurt by your constant insults (not) I will refrain from playing childish ping pong posts with you Gordon. We might simply accept that we have had both very different experiences in this matter - I was simply relaying mine.

Bought 1 new scope in 30 + years of shooting - rest have all been second hand - only bad one was off this forum where the seller forgot to mention that the adjusting screws had been completely mashed - hard to imagine how this had been done.

All of my last 3 interviews were carried out by qualified Medical personnel - in fact the last chap that visited me at home had been a GP. You are asked how far you can walk on your bad days and following the "interview" you should get a letter outlining the findings of your interview and you have a chance then to appeal.

Gordon R - what a ridiculous statement! Simply because I suggested that the DWP need to be as thorough as possible to weed out non genuine cases, I am suddenly unaware of the fact that the State already does waste money? What a nonsensical opinion. As for the distance that a person can walk, your relative would have been asked - there is no guesswork or presumption involved.

Agree with Mice - another £100 puts you in a far better position. However there are several possibilities on Guntrader (am I allowed to say that?)

Until the cold weather really bites and the vast majority of wild food dries up you sometimes need to "bribe" the blighters with something they love such as Peanuts.

Don't believe all the horror stories that you hear - the "hearings" that I have attended have always been done to ensure that I get the right level of care/assistance. You have to jump through a few hoops but then the state cannot simply throw money away on undeserving cases so the system is designed to weed out as many Leaches as possible - tell the truth and treat the "interviewer" with respect and you will be treated accordingly. From experience the whole affair has become far more pleasant since the DWP sub contracted the task out.

Financially I would say that the BSA is not really worth restoring as MK1's can be picked up for around £100 in reasonable nick.

If a Tooth doesn't actually hurt then don't let them pull it out - I have 2 that apparently "had to come out" that have been quite happy in my mouth for at least 5 years. Every time I see my Dentist I make a point of mentioning them. As for Hygienists really?? How hard is it to brush your Teeth?, save your money and spend it on Listerene - saves you hundreds over time.

MK1 Meteor and a good old SMK B2 by the looks of it.

Move to the Thames Valley area - the Firearms guys down here seem more willing to help and have always been easy to deal with when they have time - both my SGC and my Explosives licences were renewed over the phone once the paperwork had been submitted.

Been rumours since about 2008 so could be nothing in it - I wont be investing in a Hanky anytime soon if he does though - always seems to mix being smug with being clueless to a nth degree.

Just to clarify the "made by CZ" comment - not suggesting that your gun is in any way inferior to an NSP manufactured AA rifle as I am a fan of CZ - they make some brilliant rifles at a sensible price .

Forget all those expensive dipping oils - try Aldi's Balsamic Vinegar dressing with home made bread dipped in....sex on a plate!!

Not a "real" Air Arms as you no doubt know (built by CZ from memory?) but made to their exacting specs and sold as a cheaper alternative to the rest of their range - if it had a larger cylinder I think that it would have out sold the S410 but it is as near perfect as you can get at this price. Is it a multi?+ fit an AA mod as it is very effective on the S200 and can usually be picked up used for little money. Only problem I have ever heard of is that the end cap can "stick" and unscrews the cylinder when you try and remove it to fill up. Mine was fed AA Fields and I never had reason to try anything else.

3ltr 300 bar lightweight tank would be my suggestion - the S200 will give about 50 shots before needing topping off and the cylinder is quite small so the tank should last quite a while. Much as I am not a real fan of BSA, the Scorpion that I owned for a while was superb so worth considering but I think that the S200 would be marginally more accurate. If your good lady is of a similar age to you then a magazine fed gun would be best as feeding a pellet under a scope can sometimes be fiddly - likewise with a tank - I believe that there are chargers now that restrict the flow of Air that is fed into the gun and may be safer with "more mature" hands - a 300 bar tank and shaky fingers could blow the cylinder seals or worse. Timing is bad as I sold a mk2 S200 multi last week in mint cond.for £200.

Going to need a complete strip methinks - pretty sure that it's a coil spring that acts on the locking lever axle - being a Baikal I would be surprised to find anything worn out-try removing the stock and giving the action a good clean, maybe a good spray of WD40 and a good blast from an Airline followed by a light application of Oil to the moving parts might work.

Hunters Moon?.....Do they??

Easiest way is to remember that BP loves a "square" load i.e. same amount ,volume wise, powder and shot-if you want an ounce (bout right in a 2 1/2" chamber) then fill an empty shell case with 1 ounce of shot then trim the cartridge till it is flush with the load - reload the cut shell and weigh the load several times to make sure that all is well - now you can use the "measure" to load the powder and the shot....simples.

Easy to see the reasoning behind buying a Pipe for a non - smoker-bloomin good chance that he has not already got one .

Walker570 - dare I suggest you "upgrade" ( I use the term carefully ) to a PCP? You can charge it at your leisure and prefill several magazines that can be kept in your pocket and swapped as needed - not sure on the legality of carrying filled mags but might be an answer to your problem?

It's treason, Simple as. But to put him to death would be far more expensive than housing him and giving him a new identity - the legal costs would be phenomenal and the back lash from our bleeding hearts brigade would go on forever. We could make him join our Army-at least that way we know we can treat him like dirt, poorly equip and pay him then leave him to rot when he has finished serving his country.

Compressors can normally be fixed for under £50 so not really a major issue, as for Cam Belt - pretty sure that the 4.4i fitted from about 03-10 was a BMW unit and did not have a cambelt - chains are BM's preferred fitment?

I seem to remember that AA only do LH stocks in Walnut and not for all guns - think the more popular PCP's are all ambi. You might find an older LH PCP but I'm not sure when they stopped offering them-most likely about the time the supa- lites came out? I have an S410 LH Walnut but it took a while to find one.

I can imagine the disaster and trauma at loosing a days shooting if you bought one of these and then dropped it on the way to your perm......well no, actually, I can't - what a waste of time.
