Been looking for the right one for over a year, as per pic.....

Thank you

Hi dessyb, do you have a pic of the Walnut stock?? Cheers

Whatever the barrel prefers.....could be anything....I always get a sample pack (or buy small quantities (50 ish) of 'probable' pellets.....say 10 different brands/weight etc) and test, test, test and test again until I'm certain I've found the right one. ......oh and make sure to clean the barrel with a pull through between each different pellet test....p.i.a but crucial.

Never tried it but have read before of some guy forming a pellet pusher (for pcp mags) using epoxy metal (the stuff you buy in a sausage shape) Goes something like.....spray inside your preferred pellet with silicone spray, wd40 etc (anything to hinder the epoxy metal from binding to it) and push in the mixed epoxy metal in order to get a pretty perfect mold or shape, then form the 'body' of the pusher with your fingers. Once it starts going off or hardening slightly gently seperate the pusher from the pellet and leave to set. You now have a molded push stick that matches the skirt of your pellet.....using this to press 'em down in the magazine should iron out any deformities in the skirt of the pellet.

Thanks guys, I forgot about this thread and forgot to update! ? We went halves on a Crombo and chrony'd it....it was indeed the regulator! The shot string line chart looked like an ECG of someone suffering a cardiac arrest! Pellpax were very good and swapped out the rifle the same weekend so all's well in the World again!

^^^^^ This ^^^^

Commendable sentiment ultrastu and I wish I could join you....but I can't ? Looked very long and hard at purchasing an R10, undeniably beautiful gun to my eyes, but delve a little deeper and the number of reports of problems and customer dissatisfaction is horrendous! One comment (unchallenged) that stuck in my head was buy one new and it's a given that you will need to spend circa £200 to have it fettled and tuned properly! That's nearly half of what I paid for the Walther!!

Well said bruno! I bow to your knowledge and take on board what you say regarding the apparent engineering decisions, maybe I got lucky and got a good 'un ....but there are lemons everywhere *cough* BSA (the obvious inescapable result of mass production) It's a real shame you didn't have a better experience 'cos at the price point I really think it's unbeatable.

I think all this proves bruno is that pellets aren't engineered/intended to be pushed out of a retainer into thin air......of course it'll skew! Conversely, as long as it's lined up (and it doesn't need to be perfectly aligned) ....and closely....with a barrel it'll put itself right without issue. Coincidentally I've just been reading a post concerning a HW101. It's presenting a 0.5mm drop when leaving the magazine, from the block to the barrel, but it's only an observation and not a problem as the barrel is aligned with the block. I believe the 'common, notchy feel' you refer to is the action bedding in......I felt it initially but after a few hundred pellets it's now as smooth as can be. Casting aspersions (or being unimpressed) on a barrel for being bent after the gun fell over from being lent against a tree is hardly fair m8! The weight of an RM8 is primarily in the centre area of the rifle, if the barrel hit the ground muzzle first what's gonna happen?! You formulated a very firm and negative opinion based upon some bad luck and less than two weeks of ownership? Of course you're entitled to that opinion, and I respect it, but I don't think you can fairly say, with conviction, that it's really balanced? I love this gun, it never lets me down, shoot's pellet on pellet at thirty yards (plus), looks the dog's cahoonies and didn't cost an arm and a leg. I've seen many, many glowing reviews and owner reports but also some weird hate over it? Is there really such snobbery in gun ownership....'my car's a BMW, cost four times more than yours therefore HAS to be better'....I thought we were all mostly level/hard headed folks? I'm really not singling you out bruno (and the snobbery remark above isn't in reference to you), I'm just trying to give the OP a fair and balanced response.

Just plonked it on the scales....still in it's padded bag.....with Hawke Vantage scope and Weihrauch Silencer fitted - 5.1 kg. Gun alone is 3.6 kg. Ultrastu - I know what bruno is saying but it isn't sacrosanct, it's his opinion, and opinions are like *********....we've all got one! ....oops, there's a swear filter? Show me someone who hasn't had some form of trouble with any gun at some point!

I have a Walther RM8....fantastic gun at an even more fantastic price! Weight isn't a problem for me, never heard of the barrel being easily bent? (Lothar Walther...among the best) and the much maligned loading system is as smooth as silk and never been a problem. Opinions, opinions....

Thanks oldypigeonpopper, I agree. silver pigeon69 - sorry m8 I dunno, my shooting pal took it to be filled....and his eye's often glaze over in response to questions pressure gauge is on the cylinder whip. Yes, the shop has 300 bar facility (and I'm pretty positive this would have been requested)

.....or is this the 'wasted air' someone kindly mentioned on another forum?

Thanks silver pigeon69.....that's a great formula to copy & paste! We fill from 90 back up to 200 bar, so using your formula that means.... 110*0.2 (200cc size of buddy bottle) = 22 LFG 100*7 = 700 LFG 700/22 = 31.8 fills .......after approximately 12-15 refills the cylinder is definitely struggling to reach 200 bar.....have we been short changed at the dive shop?
