Esca Posted June 7, 2017 Report Share Posted June 7, 2017 Daystate Air Ranger .22 FAC no matter what I tried I could not get the rifle to group at any range. It had a nice trigger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mice! Posted June 8, 2017 Report Share Posted June 8, 2017 My word john b how do you decide which rifle to take out, ip dip dog **** you are not it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lancer425 Posted June 8, 2017 Report Share Posted June 8, 2017 Was a small diana i had given by an old guy who was a friend of the family, it was nice condition but had a tin plate barrel with a brass insert with no rifling in it. Was very underpowered and it was inaccurate, most probably worth something to collectors now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old'un Posted June 8, 2017 Report Share Posted June 8, 2017 Hi Bruno People called them the Relum Telly but the badge had a typo- It said JELLY on it!! My worst gun (And i've had a few!) Was this Logun S-16, It was actually quite consistent to say it leaked badly all the time I owned it!! Crumbs!! It must have hit a chord as all the pics of it have gone!! All I can find is a group pic from years ago, It's next to the last one! I also bought a Crosman T4, I was really lucky if 5 out of 8 shots actually left the barrel! Indexing was terrible, When I looked in to it, It was a common fault John.. Yep, that's the one, mine was a brake barrel .177 it was really accurate (well mine was) and it had got some power, when I was a kid it was called a Jelly and that's what I still call em. Thanks for the pic's, some nice guns there, do you get to use them all or are you just collecting them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ips Posted June 8, 2017 Report Share Posted June 8, 2017 Quite possibly 😉 Was at my mums for tea on wed was having a look through old photo albums mainly of my sadly now departed dads RAF days in Singapore then came across this purely by chance. Note the rather dashing flares 😁 Ps I retained by good looks 😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi old'un I hardly ever get to the range these days so they're not getting used, That's a small number of what I have in total, I think the tally is now around 150 and a load of actions to play with!!

hyflier Posted June 10, 2017 Report Share Posted June 10, 2017 Did the pellets from the gat gun penetrate the polystyrene target ips, or bounce off? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ips Posted June 10, 2017 Report Share Posted June 10, 2017 Did the pellets from the gat gun penetrate the polystyrene target ips, or bounce off? From memory bounced off 😁 but the little darts used to stick in "just" the gat was accurate at two yards if clamped in a vice. At five yards as depicted in pic the grouping was a good 30" 😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Remimax Posted June 10, 2017 Report Share Posted June 10, 2017 (edited) From memory bounced off but the little darts used to stick in "just" the gat was accurate at two yards if clamped in a vice. At five yards as depicted in pic the grouping was a good 30"when i look back early 80s i can remember kids having gat fights in class when teachers back was turned ,loads of pops and owwws. these days would be full armed response smk springers absolute cack.

johnbaz Posted June 11, 2017 Report Share Posted June 11, 2017 Did the pellets from the gat gun penetrate the polystyrene target ips, or bounce off? Years ago I had a Chinese B2, I took it to work, A mate took his Webley mk3, We both fired at a large pine corebox from around ten feet, His penetrated about 3/4", Mine bounced off and hit me bang in the middle of my forehead!! It went in the bin if I recall right!! John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exudate Posted June 11, 2017 Report Share Posted June 11, 2017 Park RH91. Grouped like a shotgun. So did my FAC Theoben Rapid MKII until it had a new HW barrel fitted, then it was pellet on pellet at 50 yards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ditchman Posted June 12, 2017 Report Share Posted June 12, 2017 Reasonable if not tack driving accuracy is the beginning and end for me when it comes to air guns and I have had lots of good ones including HW80/90/100/35/95 (mine is superb untuned), Original 45 (outstanding), BSA Lightning (reasonable but you can't expect more from the package), BSF 55 and S54 under lever (both orrible but reasonably accurate), Whaley Crossman 761 XL Super (highly flawed but accurate), AA S510, FX Wildcat, and quite a few more besides..................... If I had to pick bad ones it would have to be pretty much any pistol I've ever shot or owned, Original 35 .177 and my 70's cherished and beautiful BSA Airsporter .22 - the latter you can forgive because it was an old design and getting the tap lever right can't have been easy back then but the former puzzles me to this day. i had a webley mk 3...which had tap problems...until i was shown how to set it up...i was gicen a rod the same width of the bore.....undid the tap plate and stuff with spring and ball etc...slid the rod down the barrell...and added/took away shims from the tap until the rod slid nice and easy in and out...

Hamster Posted June 12, 2017 Report Share Posted June 12, 2017 i had a webley mk 3...which had tap problems...until i was shown how to set it up...i was gicen a rod the same width of the bore.....undid the tap plate and stuff with spring and ball etc...slid the rod down the barrell...and added/took away shims from the tap until the rod slid nice and easy in and out... I have no doubt a skilled and knowledgeable person can make worthwhile improvements, I once had a few shots with an AArms Khamsin and was amazed at its accuracy.

suburban shooter Posted September 2, 2017 Report Share Posted September 2, 2017 Just reminded me that I had a spud gun when I was at primary school and it was brilliant. I wonder if you can still get them ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theshootist Posted September 6, 2017 Report Share Posted September 6, 2017 I love the slightly weird and wonderful in airguns but I've not yet understood the multi shot pump ups. I bought a Sheridan blue streak and more recently a sharp ace. Both are an utter ball ache to shoot. I can see the point (maybe) before the advent of PCPs, but can't see what use they are today!

Salop Matt Posted September 6, 2017 Report Share Posted September 6, 2017 Worst air gun I ever bought was a Theoben Rapid. Everyman and his dog had been messing with it and its internals were a right mix. IMO this is the downside of rifles that are "easy to strip and take apart yourself". Personally people shouldn't mess with them, leave it to the professionals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

243deer Posted September 6, 2017 Report Share Posted September 6, 2017 Worse for power was my BSA meteor which I had from a young age. This though made it the best for learning field craft as you had to get close to put anything in the pot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
