Can anyone enlighten me on this subject. How many years do you have to contribute to receive full state pension. I was on the understanding that it was 35 full years , however having checked my records on the government gateway I have 40 yrs paid up yet still have to contribute 2 more years to get the full pension.

Hi , I’ll have that if available, just pm me . Regards Paul

Exactly ! You can ask for no more than that 👍

This is my second year as a member of the nppc and I’m from your general area so this has been my experience. I have mostly confined myself to the most northern permissions which are as you say about a hours drive. As you’ll be aware with wild birds nothing is a given ,but if you are prepared to accept that you can’t win a coconut every day and your just happy been out where there’s a chance of getting a shot, and let’s face it ,it’s better than sitting at home thinking about it! As said in previous comments, John is a straight forward bloke who offers a good service for the costs involved. He has on occasions given me the heads up on particular permissions where he knows you’ve been when there has been a call from the land owner, and these have been some of my best days on nppc land. It’s like any club follow the rules treat the permissions as if you had gained them yourself and you will be fine. The best thing to do is give the man a ring you’ll find him approachable and to the point. Give it a go and good luck!

I always enjoy watching your videos, their very honest. Those two crows , I’m watching the back bird you pull through ,I think he’s going to far , you fire and the further away bird in front drops which I wasn’t even looking at . Good result either way . Thanks for posting.

I was willing you to pull off a right and left on that pair at about 56 seconds in , but alas no. But not to worry we’ve all been there thinking it was a dead cert and only to end up with a three gun salute. Funny how the last shot and a empty chamber always seems loudest. Anyhow enjoyed your video and thanks fo posting.

BRING BACK THE DEATH PENALTY!😁

Yep straight on !👍

Yes I bought one in May I think it was, had a little trouble with the first one but it was replaced with no problem by aa and he threw in a extra battery for any inconvenience first class customer service. Just had it out on crows Saturday gone it was fine speed wise and very visible,pulled them in no bother. Go for it !

On Monday at About 8 30 am I ordered some Chicago studs for a sling on line I received the items at approximately 6.00pm the same day. I thought this was outstanding . It turned out that it was a local firearms dealer in. Newcastle Bagnall and Kirkwood. So this morning I emailed them thanking them for the prompt delivery, I received a email back from a lady called Claire explaining that the post had been a bit unreliable of late so she took it upon herself to drop my order off as she passed by my house on her way back from work. So it was just to say we always comment on poor service but somehow fail to commend good service. So it’s top marks to Claire and Bagnall and Kirk woods for their excellent customer service .

Cheers I hope so👍

Is it up the tree!😁

Well here goes, after trawling various air rifle forums and hearing the woes of Daystate owners it appears that barrel / shroud moderator problems are quite common, so I decided to remove the shroud and check things out. I found a o ring which I had stuffed back in previously was split ( me and my rough technique) so as look would have I had another and this time replaced it with my new improved technique. Everything back together down for a test ,still not good. Remove one mod replaced with another ! Worse, took mod off tried again, hey ho a group. Then another group but I felt if I carried on without a mod I would be getting a visit from the armed response team. so in curiosity I replaced my original HW mod back on ,and it grouped .Having Zeroed up this is what I shot . This is my rest set up and the barrel was cleaned when I got the rifle. By the way 243deer I haven’t done the square test as yet . I dare not move the zero but I will after a bit more testing. Appreciate your comments .ATB Paul

Cheers 243deer, I was going to ask you about that, I’ve run out of air ,I filled that bloody rifle so many times. So I’ll have to pop and get a fill up then get back on it. Thanks again Paul

Ok will try to do this in next couple of days thanks for the suggestion 243 deer👍

Well lads I thought I’d got sorted ,but it appears not. After having found the above possible cause as mentioned earlier took the gun out to check before going out on the rabbits and I was back to square one! So two hours later, scope off ,replacement scope on much the same, so original scope back on ,then a visit to the internet airgun forums,I came away with the idea to try the single shot loading tray as someone had had bother with the Daystate magazine. You may well be right about it been driver error so I’m going to give it a rest and come back to it. Anyway here’s my results at 33yds It looked like single loading was the way forward then I put the mag back in you decide I’m puddled. By the way I’ve not taken any offence as all comments have been constructive and I would be the first to admit I’m far from a perfect shot .cheers Paul.

Yes as I’ve said it’s a new gun to me and I do believe I need to practice with it , but I’m not a paper puncher at heart,but you’re comments have given me something to think about and no offence taken. Cheers.

They’ll do me ,I’ve got 25 shots their and there all in a rabbits head apart for the odd flyer.

Hi lads, thanks for all your advice and help so just to update on the current situation. Took the mod of to give it a look over and the barrel adapter came off with it and out fell a ‘o’ ring, a quick look on the internet at a exploded view of the gun and it appeared to be in the wrong place. It was my understanding by the diagram that the o ring should be seated around the barrel , there by centralising the barrel within the barrel shroud and above that a aluminium barrel aligning fork . Also there appeared to be two smaller o rings which sat around a spigot on the aligning fork, I did not come across these but luckily enough I had two that seemed to do the business. Anyhow put it all back together as I thought it should be as per diagram and I’ve shot about a 140 pellets through it and it seems to be on song. Just to clarify a point this is a new gun to me having only bought it a week or so ago. Any way here is my last effort. And once again thanks for your comments.

All shots were taken at the same distance of 33yds ,I have checked the scope and mounts all seems fine in that area.Not been out to check today as it’s very windy.

No it seems tight. And secure. Ok thanks for those points I’ll get on to it ASAP.

Yes Daystate and jsb 16 gr. Not the springer. Yes your correct about the point of aim in first photo but I keep the same poi for the second photos, the pressures in the cylinder is 200 and drop off to just above 100.

Yes it’s a Daystate huntsman regal.

I’m using jab 15.89 grains and they have been better than the bisley mags and the barracuda 19 gr . Yes there all at the same range the second lot all same point of aim . Results look to similar for snatch.

Checked again and the results. Scope seems tight No significant wind .
