Popgun 47

Certainly not the case at AC Guns, Hastings. You can pass the time of day with the owner proprietor and the knowledgeable gunsmith, have bit of good banter while you browse the Broad selection of guns or wait for a bottle to be filled. Always a pleasant atmosphere. No I am not connected to the business in anyway.

Hi, I'm thinking about making a hamster for my HW 100 KT, I'll need to buy some threaded rod and long nuts, my problem is I don't know the thread pitch, on the stock bolts, that I'll be replacing with the rod. Can anyone tell me what the thread pitch on the HW100 stock bolt is? Cheers.

Waste not want not.👍 Mix drinking choc' powder with a helping of runny porridge.just as effective as Duggy's recipe,and you can make it any day of the week. I've seen wood pigeons fall wounded, as the result of being hit by shotgun pellets, and left to die from their injuries. luckily for the pigeons I came along when i did, to end their suffering.😉

Possibly eBay fees, cutting sellers profits ?

Thanks for the quick replies,much obliged. Off to check eBay.🤓 Peter.

Hi, I'm looking to buy scales to weigh my pellets. Advice or recommendation on suitable type, please. Peter.

PS, I've just bought a Yukon xt 6.5x50 with a doubler, not fitted yet, need 11mm to Picatinny rail or 30mm scope rings 11mm dovetail mounts. Encouraging more rats /Magpies ,whatever to come in, lay down food in spot where you have clear sight of anything taking the bait, top it up regularly and wait for awhile and see what comes along once they are confident that it's safe. Not had an opportunity to take it out on a rifle yet. I, have taken it out using it as a spotting scope to look around my allotment after dark, spotted rats, fox, badger, The scope has a lot of potential, I like it.

🤔excuse my ignorance, I'm on a learning curve, what is this used for. 🤔 Not seen one before. Peter.

Hi, I'm an air gun enthusiast, in East Sussex. How does a shooting syndicate work. ? and how does one join a syndicate ? regards, Peter.

Thanks . this introduction was an edited version of my first attempt, which has the heading 'Hello' and I had a couple of conversations, on there. I'l need a little time to get used to this, as I have never done it before (as the actress said to the Bishop). All the best, peter.

Hi, I'm new to Pigeon watch. so I just want to post a short introduction. I'm a member of local rifle and pistol club. Having just taken up air gun shooting, I,have an Air Arms s410 tdr and a Walther Rotex RM8. Presently shooting targets to develop the skill required for accurate shooting, before moving on to vermin. If anyone would like to invite me to shoot Corvids, Pigeons, Brown Rats or Grey Squirrels, in the East Sussex or south Kent border area, I'd be more than happy to accept. I, have day and night vision scopes. I'm a safety conscious ,71 year old man, non smoker. with a lot of free time.😊 All the best.

previous post should have read, ; There's NO PROBLEM FITTING A BIPOD. sorry !

PS, I've just bought a Yukon xt 6.5x50 with a doubler, not fitted yet, need 11mm to Picatinny rail or 30mm scope rings 11mm dovetail mounts.

The RM8 had the bipod on when I got it. There's problem fitting a bipod to the front forestock as it has a Picatinny rail ready to take an attachment. I was going to fit a bipod that clamps onto the barrel but it's now surplus to requirements. although it's as useful as the rail mounted one and very quick and easy to mount dismount I decided to go with the one already fitted. Photo's to demonstrate.

Oh, I see what you mean now,🤓...in thepic' of tbe tdr, the scope is detached from the gun. I, had just bought the gun, when I took the photo, there were no mounts with the scope, that's why it wasn't mounted, since I, got mounts and set up the scope it has been a fixture on the gun. sorry for the confusion 😊

For me, the real purpose of the tdr is discretion. the rifle packs into a case and, when the A A badge is removed just looks like a small case when carried by the handle or, it can be carried as a back pack using the detachable straps. I, can walk down the street and nobody even suspect I'm carrying a rifle (unloaded). That's the reason I, bought it.

I forgot to mention, the RM8 is the varmint .177, the tdr is .22, both pretty accurate, our airgun range is only 38 yards. I was zeroing the RM8. the tdr was in its case, scope attached. does that clarify the post.?

Hi Marc, I'm new on PW, so looking forward to picking up some tips on our shared interests. I'm thinking as a Gamekeeper's son, you will have a lot of knowledge to share as time goes by. Welcome.

Hi, I can recall a time when fishing was the livelihood of many a man in Grimsby. Ah those were the days 😩 I'm a new member here on PW, too. welcome aboard.

Hi Moondoggy, great name 😊. Thanks for the hello. I, took the RM8 to the rifle club today, this was the first time I've fired it, zeroed the scope, I'm well pleased with it, so much so I left the 410 in its case 😦 I, haven't had the opportunity to do any vermin shooting as I'm limited to the range at the club. I, got a rifle in the first place to have a bash at rats and the feathered rats that stripped my sprout and cabbage plants as soon as I planted them out. it soon became clear that other people on the allotments were too curious, so Rather than risk someone 'ratting' on me, I decided against my planned cull. After a few months brushing up on my shooting technique, at the club,using a BSA Meteor mk 7 I,saw a tdr and thought 🤔that looks nice and discreet, and ditch the springer, but now I worried about getting it confiscated, so I, only shoot at the club. 1066 Rifle and Pistol club. The leaves are falling, soon there'll be nowhere to hide for the vermin be they furred or feathered. All the best
