  1. Bagnall and kirkwood, and as above chambers/knibbs. I use both and switch between the 2 when finding parts for the best prices. Both will be the top searches if you Google 'bsa meteor spares' https://www.gunspares.co.uk/categories/24305/Meteor https://www.airgunspares.com/meteor-variants https://spares.bagnallandkirkwood.co.uk/bsa/bsa-meteor-air-rifle-spare-parts-list/ Occasionally ebay may come up with the really hard to source parts. But some sellers take the **** and try and charge you more than the guns worth. Bsa meteors are easy to work on other than the piston head on a few earlier models getting stuck, then they can be a right **** to get out.
  2. I picked up a few things lately and these were one of them. What the hell are they? I know they are snap caps, but what for? 9mm handgun? Garden gun? The little ones are 22 I'd imagine as the pin is hitting the ridge but the larger I just can't get my head around apart from being pistol calibre shaped. They've been in a box of **** for many years Any help before I shove them into auction
  3. As a private individual, technically yes. Freeads (before the ban), people used to 3d print them and do exactly that.
  4. The above, bought off a mate, been stored for 7 years, took it out, filled it up and she fired away. So I've changed the oil and fuel filters, cleaned it, re conditioned the bar, sharpened the chain and used it today for a hour knocking up a fallen cherry. Oils good, cuts very good for a small saw (I bought it as I use one at 'work') It's a very clean saw, don't let the age put you off, you can see how much use its had, the exhaust isn't hanging, compression is like new and Piston is scorch/scratch free. I'm honestly selling it as I can't use this after using my 261. Different league πŸ˜‚ And I need a battery hedge cutter... πŸ˜… Β£180 posted. Β£160 collected Gillingham dorset Bacs or PayPal Also come with the manual, spanner, file guide and a little stihl bag
  5. Lighten the trigger as well Also I've never heard of a 22lr barrel being shot out. Put a normal scope on not the yukon as well
  6. I remember on mine when it leaked or wouldn't hold air after 5 pumps I used to - literally - pour motor oil in there It would work fine for a day then I'd love one again in 22

  8. Guy at work like that. Tbf it's not entirely his fault, he works alone a lot, but at lunch he doesn't shut up. I was half way through my sarnie, and he's asking me opinions and questions, literally my face is full and he's staring at me waiting for my answer. Calmly and patiently I chew and swallow, look him dead in the eye and tell him '**** off I'm eating' πŸ˜‚ He wasn't even offended, he just turned to someone else and carried on with them 😡
  9. Surprised he stopped at half a mag. I wouldn't have, but that's why I'm not in the armed police.
  10. Never heard of it tbh
  11. When I was house shopping with my sister in paignton we stayed in a hotel in brixham which is directly opposite torquay (well l I say that but it's probably about 3 mile away) and it was plesent enough. Think it was 4 stars. Hell of a lot cheaper too. Used to walk in to paignton along the coast path and quay and its quite a nice walk. Not something I'd recommend after 6 pints though πŸ˜‰ Other than that I'm no help as now she's been living there 3 years I just crash at hers in paignton.
  12. Probably a 1amp charger. Get a 2.1 or use a official charging cable into a usb port if your car has one
  13. Ive had loads of secondhand ones posted to me. Not by rfds tho
  14. Trust me, you don't want it, you won't sleep facedown for weeks
  15. I get 4g here at times (and like saltings, I spend half the time looking like a zombie on spice). It's 14mbs and I've not found anything on my phone where I thought I needed more. Videos load faster than I can watch them, even the filth teamtractor sends me loads almost instantly πŸ˜‚
  16. My old Fiat doblo. Comfiest van I ever drove, used to do 250miles without stopping and I'm 6'6'' with a fairly screwed back/hip. Can't see why the vauxhall/fiat mpv version would be any different. I stopped driving cars after the xtrail. That used to kill me after a hour. I drive a transit connect now, its not great but better than most cars.
  17. Don't matter what your using, if your at full chat and hit some wire or any other sharp edge it's breaking off. I personally think it's all a gimic, same as lures to a fisherman. Plain old simple works everytime, just some have soft line some don't. When I was tight and idiotic I'd use earth cable as it was big strong copper wire. Until it stretched and broke, swiping my calf on the way past. I was lucky, no stitches needed but my boss at work has a 3inch scar from connecting with rusty barb wire and the (proper) line and barbs swiped his face when it all went off leaving a huge gash needing stitches. Ironic isn't it πŸ˜… i had it before I decided to go down this route of work, mainly to do with **** haircuts
  18. So to sum it up, good deal agreed on, then instore they wanted Β£250 more without the added Β£20 a month extra after already negotiating a deal, after you go out of your way to visit a store to be told the above (as most people would as they can't be ***** with the hassle of ringing - as Scully points out reasons why-, then have to ring to complain and take up the original offer. Not sure I'd class that as good customer service
  19. I use stihls 3.2mm and 2.8mm (round red line) at work but that's coming out of the beast fs460c. Pretty effective upto about 1/2 inch bramble stems. In the battery junk we use 2.8mm and tbh it's not bad stuff, well it's the reason we use it. Can't remember the brand tho. I'll find out. I've tried all sorts in my line of work, dozens of kinds, brands, colours and shapes, as I literally strim for 6 hours a day in the summer and the one I hate the most is square of any brand. Some swear by it but It vibrates at high rpm and gives me havs. Also I use roughly 300 meters a month (we buy proper bulk now in kms now, tho stocks are low atmπŸ˜…) so loosing a fair bit is expected if going near stones, wire, stakes ect ect If your not desperate, drop me a pm, I'll pop into work and grab you some to try and pop it in the post next week
  20. End of the week last chance All the .257 Β£60 posted (275no)
  21. Not a lot Both have single stage triggers apart from the mk2 is plastic, mk1 metal. Mk1 and 2 have single piece clocking arm where later models and I think the 's' have 2 piece. Mk1 are blued, mk2 are painted. Tho Im starting to think this mk1 has been painted previously. I've a issue atm the mk1 came to me in 3 bags, and the barrel is drooping when fully locked up/closed. Time to strip it again.... As for accuracy, never found them amazing but good enough for close range stuff
  22. I've seen it a fair bit with the dead ones, in fact some of the wounded or kicking ones can get swamped by others. Also I have witnessed in my tunnel traps years ago was stoats and polecats taking the rats, basically chewing off what they could and taking the body away leaving heads, legs ect. It puzzled me for a long time as I knew a fox couldn't get at them
