Or a knife out of the kitchen, the knife amnesty will do little to stop knife crime.

Had my 1958 Mk1 Air sporter since 1966 and still got it.

Great result, again, well done, ...not been able to get out around here, its not stopped raining for 3 days and I don't do rain any-more

Yep, this article about sums future steel production in the UK...https://news.sky.com/story/how-the-end-of-coal-in-the-uk-and-closure-of-port-talbot-steelworks-are-related-13225486

Yes, the switch from cheap-ish coal towards more expensive gas and renewables should put the final nail in the coffin for steel production in the UK, yes we do seem to lead the world in stupid.

Yep, I did have the hide and decoys out to start with but they were very reluctant to decoy, if I can get on a good line of flighting pigeons I will go for this over a hide and decoys, the birds are more testing and the kill to cartridge ratio takes a tumble but you get every shot in the book and there's no better shooting when you connect with that high bird in a puff of feathers and it hits the ground 80 yards down the field. Most of the birds that come to this farm/fields are from the town where I think they have a greater success rate in rearing their young, I would say the number of young birds this year is a little higher but September is the month I would expect to see the biggest numbers, during the summer the farm pulls some very big numbers, mainly on laid corn and stubble, once the fields are cultivated you will be lucky to see a pigeon as there is no rape on the farm.

That's a nice bag of pigeons in anyone's book, well done. Funny you mention them not decoying well, I was out on some spring barley stubble earlier in the week and they were very reluctant to decoy, they just kept flying up and down this very long strip of woodland so most of my shots were on flighting birds (which I really enjoy) there were some big number and a lot of young birds zipping in and out of the tree line, ended up with 68, most shot flighting and 23 of them were young birds.

Yep, on a farm, man in his 60s and lad of 8, it does look like a tragic accident but time will tell.

Very little detail at the moment but looks like a tragic accident…https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/ckg2y7wyx56o

Thanks Andy. Just found this clickable diagram with part numbers...https://www.airgunspares.com/gunspares/airgun-spares/air-arms-air-rifle-models/s200.html

Mate asked me to-do a complete service on his AA S200, T-fill, he already had a service kit but looking at some of the seals it was obvious some were missing and some were the wrong size, so after looking online for seal kits it was obvious there were some differences. Does anyone know if there is a list of all the O-ring seals sizes and hardness for each O-ring….if I can find sizes and hardness I can order from here…https://simplybearings.co.uk/shop/Seals-O-Ring-Seals/c19_4501/index.html

As oldpp said, perhaps your bottle only as 100 bar of air in it? Don't know why the rifle gauge is stuck on 150 bar.

A 22 year-old Moroccan man who was released from detention in France earlier this month after serving five years for raping a student in 2019 went on to murder a young French student….https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cly650vk317o I wonder how many like him have landed on our shores.

He’s made a cracking job of it I would be frightened to fly it after all that work and cost.
