  1. What PCP Air rifle do you have ? And where are you in UK?
  2. Hello, there is a difference in the testing a diving cylinder and a 300 bar pcp air cylinder, if yours is a registered diving cylinder it will need a hydrostatic test every 5 years and a visual inspection every 2.5 years a.nd I think have a working life of ?years, a PCP cylinder is just a 5 year hydrostatic test, many people use a diving cylinder be it 232 bar or 300bar, if the dive shop knows it is for a pcp air rifle then it does not need a visual inspection and should have some form of clarification , not for diving, I have a 2 x 4 ltr inline air cylinders out of test, they were tested by a registered air cylinder testing company but noted not for diving, most PCP cylinders sold in gun shops come from www.hydrotech.co.uk, or Bisley cylinders that are solely for PCPs and guage to suite, , Dave my advice is buy a brand new 300 bar PCP air rifle cylinder , if posted will need filling, RFD should be good to go, prices vary , some dive shops sell PCP cylinders ,mine was £165, a 7ltr Hydrotech, I picked up in person before the last lockdown but not from a RFD, , after lockdown you could take old cylinder to be looked at and see if can test, or sell as out of test price depending on size, depending on your PCP rifle a cheap pump as Chris mentioned will help keep you shooting, mine only took 3 days and called a Greener , its just for a cheap SMK pcp, have an adapter to fit my other 2 different fill probes, HW and FX, good luck
  3. Hello, I have a extra 3 D printed barrel band on mine, with a weaver rail underneath, some PCP Air rifles are better with floating barrels but not this one, Hello, if anyone thinking of a PR 900 or finding a few problems, go on the UK AGF and find a chap called Halinfax , he's mustard on these air rifles, even putting a larger air bottle on getting 200 shots
  4. Hello, my PCP has the new HW silencer and very quite, my FX has a MWSS made by a small company in Newbury, and good to, the Decimeater has good reviews, and I have a SAK on my SMK PR 900 W and came from factory and it is made for air rifles, my CZ 455 has a SAK silencer and best I know for subsonic ammo, Ok thanks,
  5. Hello you can buy resin powder, just need to make a Mold , there are U tube videos
  6. Hello, try making a mold and make a new handle in resin, or you can buy a mold if you do a search, but some wood handles would look nice,
  7. Hello, they are now trying to scam young people with a promise of a job, one young lady lost about £250, this is worth noting if you have son/daughter or grandchildren,
  8. Hello, I just looked on Amazon and cannot see any for sale at that price as I think it was a special offer but if you do can you let me know details, there were many members on the UK AGF who purchased more than required so if you cannot find maybe someone will sell you a spare,
  9. Hello, ok , I found the Chinese Kwik fit connectors do no fit those sold by best fittings, the thread on the HW fill probe is 1/8 BSP so you may need a metric to BSP adapter, let me know if you cannot fit HW probe,
  10. Hello, can you not get a 3 D printed magazine , half the price of original and can work better than metal mags
  11. Hello, on the UK AGF there was a survey on silencers , ?? there a few people on there making very good ones compared to HWs , check out the new MWSS 200 , the other good one is a Hogan Decimeater ,
  12. Hello, sounds good, would be interested know after Airfective have done tune up, cheers
  13. Hello, RFD said a 4 week wait for the CLX 22 in beech,
  14. Hello Chris , how you getting on with the new P15 ?
  15. Hello, good rifles as long as you don't mind the weight, 22 for that range,
  16. Hello, ok well if you can wait a few days I have found an adapter that will hope fit your BSA 1/8 BSP fill probe, as a note the pump connections fit my SMK 900 probe and seems only Chinese PCPs, but I am sorting out for a FX and Air Arms as well and hope your BSA, cheers
  17. Hello, as above, it's more to do with the connecting fittings, the ones in pack are ok for Chinese PCP fill adapters but not for FX/ BSA/ HW etc, what are PW members finding ?
  18. Hello, how would you view a S A K silencer on the new Ultra C L X , would want to keep rifle as short as possible to fit in a BSA Carbine 38 inch gun bag, anyone use the SAK on a air rifle, ?
  19. Hello, £500 will get a ATA or Yildiz O/U for steel cartridges, if you shoot well with a side by side I would get another AYA Yeoman, with open chokes, scrap the pitted barrels one keep the stock and action , use standard steel cartridges, if you want a O/U the ATA is more refined than the Yildiz and has no auto safety, the Yildiz has auto safety,
