bruno22rf Posted May 27, 2017 Report Share Posted May 27, 2017 So nearly right, manthing - spotting a rabbit/squizzer at 25-35 yards and getting a clean kill then convincing your drinking buddies that it was 60 yards is on the money.

Whitebridges Posted May 27, 2017 Report Share Posted May 27, 2017 (edited) Now finding myself reading all the posts in the air gun section . Never used to bother before because I didn't really have any interest in air guns . My biggest fear is that this new interest could turn out to be very expensive . One quick word for whitebridges , Nige it looks like you will be needing another gun cabinet . Harnser You've got a good 'un there Mick, The 95 is a lovely jorb ! I've got the ol' renewal coming up so have been thinking through my needs, and FAC Air is the gap. At the same time the missus is getting rid of shoes, hats, etc and heyho, there's a bit more room.

Harnser Posted May 27, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2017 Incidently chaps is there any percentage or advantage in lubeing pellets as I have a couple of tubes of liquid alox left over from my pistol shooting days ? Harnser Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ditchman Posted May 27, 2017 Report Share Posted May 27, 2017 i have tried all sorts of stuff including powdered graphite....powdered molybedenum......you name it ...sometimes i think it works sometimes im not so sure............ pellets come with a "preservertive" coating on them anyway......if you are going to try lube ...then wash your pellets first...... i think pellet choice is more the order of the day....as the sizes differ so much..

ips Posted May 27, 2017 Report Share Posted May 27, 2017 Finding the sweet spot is the secret This. I found accupells were the best grouping pellet in the AA but it fell apart to a degree at the beginning and end of the usable fill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Longbower Posted May 29, 2017 Report Share Posted May 29, 2017 There's nowt like the warm glow you feel when you have been successful with your spring gun. I have 2 95k's , and love them both dearly . But have to admit I use a 110 .177 now most of the time, for pest control. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harnser hello, have used a pellet lube for years since i see a post on the UKAGF, tried with napier but better value i use LT 1 pellet lube and seems to work , that Alox should give good results its not something you can clarify but i think it helps and keeps barrel cleaner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you didn't lube lead pistol bullets it wouldn't take long to fill the barrel with lead . Harnser Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 5, 2017 Report Share Posted June 5, 2017 30 shots with a good quality lead pellet will line the barrel sufficiently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walshie Posted June 5, 2017 Report Share Posted June 5, 2017 You can't be considered a true airgunner unless you wear camo all the time - to the pub, shops etc. You also need to be able to bore for England on the pellet weight, ft/lbs and mildots. Hope this helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
