  1. ASE Utra Northstar for sale. 1/2 x 20 thread .25 calibre. I have sprayed it Nato green colour. These are excellent, solid and quiet mods. I need it off my ticket so selling at £100 pick up South Wales or can look into rfd.
  2. For info, the digisight is fine for HMR ranges as eyeshine makes a superb aiming mark. The warrenty is NOT transferable.
  3. Big drop here, farmer reckons they have had myxy.
  4. Well i went to the shop (Keens in Bridgend) and there was no chance of any refund, indeed they were quite hostile. The gun is second hand but looks in good nick. I left it with them for some testing and their result after a session on a range was no bangs and some "usual sparks for a semi". They recommend using RWS subs (logic being German ammo for German gun). I did ring the Uk Anschutz importers and spoke to their gunsmith. Interstingly, the 525 model has been specifically designed to cycle subs and therefor has a shorter return spring and lighter action when compared to my old gun the 520. Ties in with what Magus69 indicates above. The gunsmith reckons its unlikely to be the gun and would possibly benefit from a change of ammo to something less feisty than CCI's, as i could be seeing the result of the bolt on it's way back really fast and also the effects of the CCI's bordering on or exceeding the supersonic mark.When i tried some Magtechs, i did notice how quiet they were compared to CCI's. He did say that it may need a clean around and in the chamber also but i have already done that as best i could without taking it apart. So, i'm waiting for the snow to clear so i can go get it and try some RWS through it, although from what ive read they have a lot of wax on them.
  5. No women parrot lovers out there? :unsure: I am open to offers for this great little character to go to a nice permanent home..
  6. My current dilemma aside (im returning my anschutz 525) i also agree that anschutz semi's are usually great. Hitting a 1p coin and small bottle tops at 75 yards with ease using a bipod. For semi's in general, they are great for a rapid second shot etc, accuracy wise i have never had a problem. My 12 year old son recently hit a rabbit square between the eyes from 75 yards using a remmington 597 with bipod and subs.
  7. It's going back,either for repair or preferably a refund. The shop are refusing a refund but i'll discuss that when i'm there. I was wondering whether there was possibly a common,easily fixed cause, such as a build up of gunk that needed cleaning or something.
  8. I recently bought an Anschutz 525 semi, it's in good condition cosmetically, but i am having problems when firing it. Using CCI subs, quite a few of them are going bang at the breech, loud enough to make your ears ring and producing a fair bit of smoke from the breech area also. When using Magtechs, there wasn't any bangs but a lot of sparks and even flame coming out of the breech. I'm no gunsmith, but i'm guessing the bullets aren't being chambered properly? Does it need a damn good cleaning or is it likely to have a serious problem? These guns are usually rock solid and to take it back to the shop is a 2 hour round trip. Any ideas/solutions?
  9. For sale is our hand reared yellow naped amazon. He is a 7 year old dna sexed male. Incredible talker,sound mimic and singer which is what these parrots are renowned for. With us since a baby and genuine reason for sale, which is that he is deeply attached to women (who isn't?) and as my wife is now out of the house most of the time (thank god), he does my nut in. Would make a wonderfull companian to the woman of the house, but suggest she be there for most of the time. These parrots are now a rare species so looking for £900 or nearest offer. He comes with cage, hatching and dna certificate.
  10. True. It would be a nightmare to administer in the same way that tax credits currently are. The higher rate taxpayer choice is far easier but still not perfect. As for the victor meldrews amongst us, i still say if you save the money in a bank account etc then you don't need it, truly need it that is. For those of you slagging the NHS, well i'm glad you are lucky enough to be able to afford private healthcare. Regarding the deficit and all the cuts, what everyone needs to realise is that if ALL the tax that should be collected actually was, then there wouldn't be any deficit or cuts to complain about.
  11. Yellow naped amazon, dna sexed male. Incredible talker, singer and mimic. Hand reared and with us since a baby. Genuine reason for sale. Comes with own cage etc. For sale to permanent home only, £900 pick up.
  12. Gixer, the very fact that you put the money in a bank account for 18 years just shows that some people don't actually need it... It's supposed to be for your childrens needs when they are children.. not for their first car..
  13. Thanks all. Quite a few shooters from South Wales i see. Just made a trip down Bridgend and bought myself an Anschutz, a 525 rather than a 520 but hardly any difference if any..
  14. I use mine whenever i can (when there's time), it's great to know exactly where to aim for a headshot. Better for the "target" of course. I imagine they are of less importance with flat trajectories.
