  2. My Home Made Compressor

    in Airgunners

    Posted

    Does it quieten the xl down at all as I have one and it's unbelievably "twangy" :oops:

     

    I changed the standard spring for a Titan NO 1 Spring for the XL, it has had 3mm taken off the lenth and its made all the differnce in the world

     

    before the spring change i was only getting power to 9.7 after the spring change i was getting just over 11.4 but now I've go it down to 10.8

     

    and the sound of the spring is like music to the ears. I would definitaly recommened changing to the Titan No 1

  4. Stock refinish...

    in Craft and DIY Section

    Hi all

     

    I had a couple of weeks refinishing a pair of Daystate Airwolf stocks for a chap, he bought a kit and had a go himself but the oil wouldn't dry and stayed very tacky all the time :/

     

    Anyhow, he'd seen pics of my stocks on Flickr that I had redone and messaged me, he offered me a BSA Superstar and ASI 4-12x56 superscope to undertake the job...

     

    I couldn't wait to start!!

     

    These are the sticky stox :yes:

    The tacky oil came away easily with nitromors, strangely the stocks went quite a bit darker in colour which was good as the owner wanted them darker anyhow..

    the Nitromors wouldn't remove whatever the coating was that Daystate applied so complete sanding was required <_<

    Two coats of grain sealer..

    Around eight or ten coats of oil later (I lost count actually :blush: )

    I emailed pics all the way through the job and the owner was getting mighty worried up until the grain sealer was applied :rolleyes:

     

    By the end he was over the moon with the job!!

     

    My 'prize' for the job!!

    In fact the chap was so overjoyed with the outcome that he suprised me with a 'Bonus'!!!!

    Well, As it turns out, i'm over the moon now as I was hoping to buy a decent Scorpion to add to the collection of two BSA Magnum 240's and around a dozen or so Webley overlever pistols B)

     

     

    Thanks for looking in, John :)

    Thanks

    Hi all,

     

    I just want to tell you about my 2nd outing for shooting rabbits,

     

    I've got to say a massive thanks to Chris for taking the time to let me come out with him on his permissions, i put a sos out in PW for anyone that would let me shoot with them, because I'm a dialysis patient and couldn't manage a permission of my own. So Chris contacted me through the PM system on PW and arranged a shoot today. I think he deserves a big pat on the back.

    Hi

     

    I shoot Air rifles but have decided to try shotguns, What would be the best shotgun for me as I an quite small and not very strong i am 58 years old. I would be shooting clay pigeons, rabbits and other vermin I would have about £600 to spend, would the 20 gauge be better for me because they are lighter.

     

    Thanks in advance

    Hi Everyone,

     

    I hope you will excuse my cheek when I ask if there is anyone on PW that has a permission or permissions on land the would be good enough to let me shoot on a small field or small section of their permission, I live in Whickham and have asked quite a few farmers in the area but there is a syndicate that owns most of the land in the Whickham and Sunnisde area of Newcastle. The main reason for me asking is that I am a 59 year old dialysis patient and can not walk all that far. I could meet up with you if you need to ask me any questions. I know it is asking a lot, I wouldn't do this if I had been a bit younger
