  1. I've got a rotary scratcher (only way i can describe it)-it has 3 toothed wheels that dig into paper and rip the surface open with ease-you simply rub it over the walls in a circular motion and then spray with soapy water-wait 5 minutes and you dont need a scraper cos the paper simply peels away (even woodchip)-brilliant invention.
  2. If it has "GDI" (gasoline direct injection) anywhere in the model name/number dont walk away-run as fast as your legs can carry you.On the shogun owners forum someone has started up a GDI appreciation thread-its a very small thread.These cars are a nightmare when (and they will) go wrong.Pleeeease-do yourself a favour and walk away(quickly).
  3. As my father in law is in hospital we have just paid his phone bill for him-total calls this last quarter=79pence-total bill this quarter-£55 with nothing carried forward from last bill.Robbing sons of ........ :o
  4. A chain and padlock are a mere time waster to most tea leaves-we had a £150 sold secure padlock and when i found it after our trailer was nicked it looked like it had been just split in half-take the wheels off-if it has feet that jack up like a caravan p.m. me and i will tell you a great way to stop your trailer getting nicked.
  5. If the unit is not clicking then the pulley clutch is not engaging the pump-check the fuse-if its blown try another but if that pops then your pump or pulley clutch has seized.When you go for a regass think carefully-most pros will tell you that going to a non specialist could cost you dear-halfords-kwik fit etc have messed up a whole load of systems-they cost me £988 in repairs for mine.Dont forget that all systems lose about 15% of the gas per year-this includes the oil within the gas so if the gas gets too low you could cause your pump to sieze-be warned- if you own a newish shogun your car will be undriveable with broken air-con-this applies to a lot of modern cars.
  6. S400 will outshoot you all day long but then so will any AA gun made in the last 5 years-most before that will do it with ease as well.Sorry to see you cant find anywhere to shoot -if you were nearer i could find you plenty.Dont commit to the 400 until you have tried others-even the springers from AA are superb albeit not as easy to shoot as a PCP.As well as charging equipment you might like to consider a moderator cos PCP'S tend to emit quite a loud "crack" on firing (the list of bits seems endless).Considering your budget and the need for sights-mod-charging equipment-I would suggest a second hand set up-find which model you prefer via gunshops and then buy privately-most sellers who have been on this forum for a while are trustwothy so watch the ads.Dont dismiss the S200-its ugly but by god it shoots well.
  7. Here goes-remove carpet if you have one-if your floor is in a bad state get it screeded-rip off your old skirting boards-use a decent underlay "tile" and lay them with a 2mm gap and in a pattern like bricks.Buy the proper fitting kit and borrow a cross cut curcular saw (saves oodles of time).Lay the boards as per instructions but get them as close to the wall as possible without actually touching it.Buy wood effect plastic skirting boards and stick them on the walls in place of the originals putting them on top of the laminate-this looks really tidy.If ants have ever been a problem spread ant powder under the skirting boards before fixing and use a thin bead of flexible sealant to finsh the join.Lay back and let her repay you with some loving.Dont forget to leave the boards in the intended room for a few days before you use them-this lets them settle at the room temperature.
  8. CO2 guns are o.k. up to a point but they have drawbacks that make them inferior to pcp's in hunting situations.Simple answer to your question is anything modern by Air Arms firing the majority of the top 5 hunting pellets (there,s hundreds of threads on this site discussing which is best and for what) will put one pellet on top of another till the cows come home.You are in the driving seat so dont be tempted into a rushed decision-try various guns at local shops-you will know when you pick up the gun and shoot it if it is right or not.Dont forget that if you go down the pcp route you must budget for filling equipment-pumps are fine if you are healthy and dont shoot too often but a tank is the ultimate.You could try telling people on this site your location and ask if anyone is willing to take you out and let you have a go with their gun-you will learn more than at a dealer.
  9. If you can't get hold of any prometheus, as recommended, try throwing lumps of uneven and miss-shaped coal of various sizes at the target-same result but slightly cheaper.

    If you want to fire STEEL ammo up a rifled barrell then be my guest-but there must be slightly quicker ways to roger your gun-these were designed to be fired up cheap smoothbore guns IMHO.

    WORM ALERT

    Watch your email inbox for any message with the word "I Phone" in the text-it may look like it has come from someone that you know because it somehow places the name of one of your contacts at its heading-delete it-do not open it cos its another worm.
  12. Were both barrels working and then neither?-at the sam time?-on the early lanbers the cocking link (on the forend) could come loose and move fowards-this is connected to the hammers and could prevent them falling all the way-cock the gun and fire it with the forend off-any difference?

    I had Worms.

    You had been infected by a rogue trojan-theres a really powerfull one going around at the moment that goes under about 20 different names-it convinves you that your computer is infected and offers you the solution for about £40.Everybody should download Malwarebytes free edition and put it on a memory stick cos the trojen can make running programs from your desktop almost impossible -if you get the "virus" then you can just pop your stick intio the usb and run the program-sometimes you need do it twice.There are so many good free anti virus software programs available that you should never need to pay.
  14. I would seriously doubt that ,at normal ranges, any rabbit not nuclear powered could deliberatly dodge a pellet.If it were feasible i think you would have to be at maximum range with an un-moderated .22 gun and a rabbit allready in a spooked condition-i.e. coiled like a spring.Not being argumentative but somethings not quite right-practice your ability to judge range- hard enough during the day let alone in darkness.
  15. You'll not notice any difference with a mod on but game in front of the gun will and may sit still long enough, if you miss first time, to get another shot.
  16. 12 gauge single folding shotgun free to whoever wants it-no pitting and in pretty good nick-bin shortened and would suit teenager but fine to shoot if you're a big fat ******* like me.GONE IN A FLASH TO POISEDSHOT
  17. Use only in a .22 shotgun or you will fork up your rifling-better off with a 9mm garden gun-strap a maglite underneath and you're away.
  18. An all time classic workhorse-will outlive most of us and still shoot better than we ever will-feed it with Eley subs with a moderator or RWS high velocity and it will kill vermin till the cows come home-one of the very best.
  19. Just in case this turns into a "should have gone to" thread let me get in first-Stockcraft of Stoney Stratford near Milton Keynes-never felt less than very welcome and like my custom was their first concern.
  20. You must be madder than mad jack mcmad!-put it in a slip covered in oil and it will gain in value year by year-better interest than any bank account :thumbs:
  21. This sounds crazy to me-on that basis did the original barrel have to be destroyed by whoever de-tuned the rifle and then reported to the relevant Firearms dept?
  22. I always thought that once an air-rifle was declared as or classed as a firearm it couldnt be de-rated back to sub 12ft/lb level thus making it legal to use without a FAC?
  23. Try nut/bolt suppliers-you should be able to get a 10mm bolt long enough to give you that kind of length before the thread starts-then just cut them to length and drill the hole in-shouldnt be too tricky-otherwise any engineering workshop could do it for a couple of quid.
