Down the new (to me) woods this afternoon but wasted most of my time trying to find the feeders. Eventually found one and within 10 minutes the first victim of the p15 was scurrying down the tree and sat on the feeder. This little gun is so small and easy to manoeuvre that I had the crosshairs on the front of his head in seconds, as the trigger clicked he dropped stone dead - just over 30 good paces so just over 30 yards at a guess. Sent a txt to the manager only to find that my maps are a couple of years out of date, just received one back offering me updated maps and a tally of 677 over the last March-March season which is the highest score since Warfarin was stopped.

Yes Gordon, the 2 guys wore face masks (as did I), but if Liam wanted to explain anything he went to the other side of the workshop and slipped his mask down then spoke so I could hear him clearly. As always, an absolute pleasure to spend some time with these guys, Liam was working on an FAC Impact that some fool had siezed the power adjuster, when he'd finished it sounded like a .22lr and was visibly recoiling, pretty impressive I must say.

Just back from AirFective. Gun undergone service with all O rings replaced with high quality items, trigger sorted and a calbre specific air stripper and modified baffles fitted. She now "clicks" on pulling the trigger (which now feels crisp and predictable) and spits JSB heavies downrange at a consistant 11.7ft/lb. Before leaving I was told that the gun may take a couple of hundred rounds to settle down and achieve its full accuracy potential, mmmmmmmm.....10 shots 27 yards...

I disagree, my othger half is north of 60 and still has long blonde hair running down her back, none on her head but heyho.

No new bottle needed, your tank is due a pressure test which is around the £50 mark, once it has passed it will be returned full. If you cannot find a dive centre that are pressure testing in the current climate you could buy a cheap pump from Amazon (around £15) to keep you going.

I'm guessing the steroids were prednisolone 5mg?

Just a basic strip service/polish/set the Reg and replace all the O Rings with decent quality items, it's costing a 1/4 of the price of the gun but it looks like this little devil will become my go to gun and I have total confidence in their work, Liam is a genius where Airguns are concerned (might be tempted to add one of their modified shrouds), had a little gun bag delivered from the bay of plenty today and ,tbh, I'm amazed at the quality for just over £16!! and loving the fact that it fits like a glove and just looks too small to be carrying a rifle. Tweaked the trigger again and now it's sweet as anything I've ever tried (apart from Daystates electronic jobbies), these guns are soooo addictive, I think that because you assume they are cheap chinese tat you cannot help but consider them the underdog - and everybody loves the underdog.So far it has already given me more pleasure than my twice the price AA S510R.The magazine alone is a work of art - totally self indexing and needs nothing adding to the action to trip it, as the probe is drawn back the mag indexes, why dont other makers use this system?

Booked in at AirFective Monday @12:00. Bit more plinking in the garden today, cannot grumble about the accuracy on my example although I understand that others have had issues. Being so small/light does make trigger control a major contributing factor to accuracy, the slightest pull and the shot veers off, from the box the trigger is set so safe as to be verging on unusable and has required 2 turns of the sear engagement adjusting screw to be acceptable. Can comfortably put 11 shots in a 5p size hole at 27 yards now and getting used to the surgical precision needed to fill the magazine, wouldn't even try it at night though but the larger .22 may be better. Looking forward to Monday now and then I'm going Squirrel bashing asap.

Always thought that Toz were made by TULA?

Took her to meet the greys yesterday, the thing is so light that the wind was blowing the gunbag around me, I felt like a gymnast practising the ribbon routine. First time this season the blighters are showing no interest in the feeders, maybe too late in the day and they were simply not hungry so I ended up doing a little plinking and happy to find her accurate. Left after just over an hour but met the chap who fills the hoppers, he has suggested another wood that I have never visited as it's "crawling with them" so hopefully once AirFective have breathed on her early next week I'm of to pastures new. Cannot really find a fault with the gun at the moment tbh but early days, build quality is a little lacking in places but nothing that a little time cannot cure.

The probe is getting easier, the stock extension was childs play to fit and feels great (looks nifty too!!), I'm taking the beast to Airfective early next week for a complete strip and service, common complaints seem to be the quality of the O rings so I will have decent ones fitted. Going to be £100 but I've had work done by these guys before and it's well worth the money.

Heard of the carm ones Mice! and may look at one in the future although having mentioned my Mag woes to the dealer he is posting me 2 more by Fedex, now that's customer service. Compared to my S510 it feels about the same weight as the AA's bag, I've managed to find a pefect fitting bag for £15 so as soon as the weather improves I'm off out on the greys although I'm kinda tempted to take her to AirFective for a fettle. Buy a BSA Stu!! Never!! besides the CLX has no sleeve, no Reg, limited shot count and is heavier.

Guilty as charged Mr.C - the devil (and failing health) did tempt me into the path of enlightenment, but I have yet to succumb to Beelzebub's BSA!! It's all come down to weight I'm afraid (and wanting a new plaything) and this thing feels like a pistol on steroids. Having a few issues but, then again, having fun solving them, have a sneaky feeling that she has a slow leak so the thing is currently laid on the Dining room table with a Condom over it's cylinder!! Been like that for a couple of hours and still not managed to fill the thing but then I never managed it either in over 40 years. Magazines are a work of art and are totally self indexing, brilliant till you try and fix one!!!

Finally got my hands on one of these diminutive beasts. After searching around the kit below came to £450 new (+£25 for the shoulder doodah) so what do I think of it.Well it's tiny, noisy and is dying for a little lube around the probe and cocking link, the Mag fell to pieces before my very eyes (it "may" have been my fault) and the charging probe is really stiff to insert. Had a handfull of shots with it yesterday before even cleaning the barrel and was quite impressed although my favourite Exacts were not grouping too well, about 3/4" over 27 yards but the odd flyer which is unusual for these. Decided to "fix" the Mag (newer guns only come with one!) and soon realised that you need to be an skilled jeweler to stand much of a chance, but after much hassle and discussions as to it's parenthood I got it together. Didn't get chance to try her out till late this afternoon, persevered with Exacts (middle target) but not impressed (the 2 high and left were where I managed to double load the thing!!) then switched to H&N FTT(top right target) and looks promising....more testing if it doesn't pour down tommorow.

I've just bought a pair from Decathlon, all the decent wellies are so expensive during the colder months that I decided to buy a stop gap pair till the summer when prices are,hopefully, a little more keen.Bought the solognac G500 lightweight, £35 inc.postage and they are really comfortable with a wide wide calf.

Plenty around here, around half (approx 50 feeders) of the feeders are empty with all showing some activity, too busy to get on them atm. New gun day tommorow so hopefully introduce her to the greys on Tuesday.

Do the best you can with the cabinet but keep the forend seperate in a locked steel case?

May be worth researching if you actually need a moisture filter, unless you intend to pump your weapon (Oooer mrs) in the bathroom after showering then there are posts on various sites that suggest they are of limited value.

That's a Silver Kestrel btw.

Get one of each, Walnut carbine if you can, then after a year you'll sell the .22.

Why buy a Greenhouse? - keep an eye on facebook and you will soon find one for free, all you have to do is dismantle it which is childs play. Replace a few side panels with clear plastic and just use 4 clips to hold them in place - when the greenhouse hits 40 degrees you simply remove the panels. Ditchy hit the nail on the head - get one bigger than you think you need.

My deepest sympathy to you and yours. Your words sing the song of your heart.Be strong, be well.

A victory roll by a Spitfire would have been nice but Hey- Ho. When all is said and done nobody does dignity like the English, forgetting Brexit, BLM and all the pandemic woes just for a moment in time, an opportunity for an entire nation to share it's feelings in unity rarely comes our way. Sorrow, respect and compassion is clearly the order of this day - well done indeed Sir Tom, the nation salutes you on your way.RIP.

I bought a pop up toilet tent for about £15 that does the job but if you do a recce and find a good vantage point to shoot from using natural cover then you dont really need a tent. I use my gunbag and natural as below.

Your buyer makes the agreement with his RFD regarding RFD fees - you stand to lose around £30 for postage in total, as long as your gun is as you describe it then it is unlikely to be rejected. Shooters tend to be an honest bunch - put an Air Rifle up for sale Sunday before last and within hours a buyer had put £650 into my account having never seen the gun. I suggested that a holding deposit would be a better bet but he would not hear of it, I also said that the gun may be a heap of junk to which he replied "well that's my problem now isn't it cos I've paid for it" !!!
