Aled_cky Posted April 18, 2004 Report Share Posted April 18, 2004 does anyone know the price for a .177 spring.. is the legal limit 12 f/lbs? i have 2 old .177 air rifles which are very old. they must be around 2 and 5 f/lbs and its hard for them to kill sparrows :thumbs: :lol: Aled Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hammergun Posted April 18, 2004 Report Share Posted April 18, 2004 Springs range from about £5 to £10. Yes, 12lbf for all air guns. As the springs age, they lose their strength. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aled_cky Posted April 18, 2004 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2004 ye i knew they went weaker in their age.. i have a .22 spring which maybe 10 f/lbs now.. its 18months now.. fired over 2000. should i get a new spring for that aswell? 1 of my .177's is 9years. the other i got of my cousin think its 15years.

neil Posted April 19, 2004 Report Share Posted April 19, 2004 Hi Aled, what make/model are the guns? you may be flogging a dead horse in trying to get them up to around 12ft/lb if they were low powered models in the first place? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fisherman Mike Posted April 20, 2004 Report Share Posted April 20, 2004 and its hard for them to kill sparrows :thumbs: :lol: Aled Please dont shoot sparrows ( or Starlings) Aled. They are a protected species and are in serious decline in many areas. Your shooting should be limited to vermin. FM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fisherman Mike Posted April 20, 2004 Report Share Posted April 20, 2004 Let him know that he faces a massive fine and possible custodial sentence if he is caught and successfully prosecuted by The RSPCB or similar organisation. If he doesnt listen Aled Pm me his details and I will have the local Firearms Enforcement Officer give him a friendly talking to. He is the sort of person who is putting the sport of Air rifle shooting at risk for thousands in the UK. FM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
