(If your going to poke a bear etc etc.....
)
ha ha i am naughty ??
I saw an air arms bull pup for sale a while ago that looked very smart galahad? I'm googling it now.

you should have taken before and after pics, plenty on here love following these kind of threads.
I know nothing about the rifle but it sounds like cheap manufacturing so I'm surprised it shoots well, by the sounds of things you'll soon have it purring.

All of them
No, the only one I have handled in the shop is the BSA with the laminate stock. Very handy.
Don't tell him that he loathes that gun, tin hat on.
how is the project coming stu?

Are we talking about addiction here? It certainly sounds like it if you have to make a concerted effort to stop.
Probably more like habit, a lot of lads i know think its quite normal having 3 or 4 beers every night, if you can cut it out through the week your having 3-400 calories less every day which adds up to a huge amount.
Earlier in the year on Loose Women they were talking about drinking wine, half a bottle every night, a couple at the weekend well they brought on the calorie equivalent in cheese burgers for the week, then the month i think, it really brought it home to them.

Cheers m8,
I am on the Hatsan forum plus I have placed requests on many others but as yet no-one appears to have an answer. Pity its a major problem that spoils an otherwise great rifle.
Having the skills and tools I might strip the action and use a bit of moly grease on the hammer face or weaken the hammer spring (after buying replacement parts just in case) and see how that goes.
how old is your gun? If its still under warranty get it back to the shop, could be the probe isn't sealing correctly so air is escaping from the breach?

while you could say the report makes grim reading its about animals entering the food chain? Yes their not cows or sheep their horses but they can't all make the grade.

So PPP, answer this how often do you drink? If its every night 3 or 4 cans then cut out the week drinking, sounds a but girly but get up and out for a walk in the evening.
Find a loop you can do maybe 3 miles, this is going to take you around an hour, wear something decent on your feet and watch the time and your waste line come down, you will sleep better and feel better.
it might take you a month before you notice any weight loss but your pants will start feeling better, its more important to loose size than weight a lot of people give up because there weight doesn't shift.
I got back off my hols about 98 kilos but nearly 30% fat ( fancy scales) I'm down to 96 kilos but more importantly 25% fat.
Food is more my vice but allow yourself a drink at the weekend, buy a 4 pack not a 20.

The S200 I have could be but all the advice I have had is it is not a good idea. No , if I go FAC it will bethe real deal. May sell one of my others, doubtful it would be the TX200.
I was thinking you already have the gun and pump, know its sound, you don't need a large shot count do you? Obviously your going to get less shots because there is more air being used, unless you go down the R10 HW or rapid route, or fancy bullpup
From what I've read you need to be careful not to buy something someone has messed about with, power may be good at 22-30 ft/lbs but the rifle may shoot like a blunderbuss.
All obvious i know but stu has said before about getting a good scorpion at 12 ft/lbs and convert it, plenty of folk have air arms 410 & 510 in fac but I've no idea of the length of those

Ok short .light. and compact ..
Well a bullpup is the obvious answer to that .and the fx wildcat fullfills that in spades. Energy up to 50 fpe in .25
30 in .22 .
But if you want a rifle not a pup .
Then a bsa ultra is hard to beat in my opinion .i know i sound like a broken record reccomending bsa s .
But they are well made easy to tune and have loads of backup by aftermarket and bsa themselves ..
My 22 ultra does 30 shots at 23 fpe (13 .4grn falcons ) with a longer scorpion tube fitted. This keeps it the same length as standard ultra and still feels light ..
Accuracy is good out to 70 yds which is plenty for most birds and rabbits .
you've just reminded me stu, falcon pellets, i recently bought a 3/4 full tin and some Crossman hollow points to try out.
A lot of the falcons were slightly damaged on the skirts, I'm thinking this is because there so thin? Have you found this or am i just unlucky?
could walkers S200 be converted to fac?

Yep! I've riden two, its a long way down.
went to a horse welfare place near Blackpool a bit back from small to enormous with some terrible stories of neglect, still folk could just leave them in a field ???

I think everyone's opinion should be heard, its when people listen to Muppets that the problems start.
I know very little about horses other than there expensive generally bigger than me and top quality racing stock probably gets looked after better than a lot of humans.
This like I said is the problem someone tags you onto something on social media three clicks and you have added a vote to something you know nothing about in 60 seconds.

That sounds really good but will it fit without fouling the barrel as Daystate seem to think and who can I ultimately get to fit it ? Has anyone
none available at the moment sorry, he said he has sold some to people with Daystates but not sure which models.
Also he said there is a video of a bloke fitting a carbon bottle to a wolverine if you google it.

on the news tonight a small group had busted locks at a sensory farm and taken up residence. Apparently Wigan council were threatening to fine the land owner if the "travellers " weren't removed?? Fat chance she has.

Has anyone from the Rapid forum for instance fitted or knows of one having been fitted to an AirRanger (which has a fairly thick sleeved barrel) ? Sorry for being a pain by the way and many thanks.
I'll ask the question, there not quick at replying sometimes.

Yet another ruddy petition aimed at attracting brain dead keyboard warriors to exercise their finger with a simple click of the mouse.
What really gets me is that 95% of those signing wouldn't know what a racehorse was if it bit them on the bum.
thats the thing its so easy for people to click on something their sent a link to, 60 seconds and then forget about it.

14 minutes ago, Hamster said:Yes please I would appreciate that muchly. Ideally i would need someone to fit it as well because it's not an easy screw in and out job apparently.
This was the info with price, quite a few lads bought them, still interested?

So my choices are : find someone who'll supply and fit a carbon cylinder to said used (and cheap) AirRanger which will also need a decent moderator or
there was someone selling carbon air cylinders on the rapid forum, want me to ask if they fit the air ranger?

If your land is already cleared for FAC then you should be fine but why not simply buy a .22lr, cheaper, quieter and variable power depending on what you feed it + the cost of Tanks etc buys a heck of a lot of .22 ammo - not much beats the sound of a Squirrel being hit by a subsonic .22lr.
Unless there up the tree?

I've had my rifle from new twenty odd years and never filled it myself, yes sub 12 so 150 & 300 shots off the bottles or there about, costs a couple of quid to get them filled, or you get a pump and just top up.

Thinking about getting a PCP for squirrels etc. and have read that FAC rifles are cheaper than non. I already have an FAC so it would just be a case of getting another slot or is there any reason to not go for an FAC rifle (which could after all be made to shoot at sub-12ftlb levels as desired)?
I haven't read anything yet to make me not want an fac air rifle, bit more range lot more stopping power compared with sub 12, what's not to like.
and using the rapid as an example once the gun is made fac it can't go back so some shops have apparently got them sitting on shelves gathering dust, the barrel, stock and other bits can be sold but the "block" stays fac. That's why they can be cheaper there harder to sell on.

there was a case of pox in Formby recently with a dead red squirrel found, if you want a read of how uneducated people are or biased against shooting or controlling a pest species have a look on the Lancashire and Merseyside mammals group on face book, to be fair there were a lot of people saying shoot the greys save the reds but still an awful lot against any kind of shooting.
