redial Posted December 22, 2021 Report Share Posted December 22, 2021 Are there any springers on the market that are more metal than plastic. The HW 45 is beyond my price range. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redial Posted December 23, 2021 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2021 Nice looking but as pointed out by Bob, not a springer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruno22rf Posted December 23, 2021 Report Share Posted December 23, 2021 (edited) Artemis PP700W or S-A from essex cut price airguns, £100 & £140 in that order. PCP with around 80 full power shots, the S-A comes with sights but you will be fitting an after market scope/red dot within days of buying one of these pistols. Nothing comes close at this price. Not a springer though. Edited December 23, 2021 by bruno22rf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GingerCat Posted December 23, 2021 Report Share Posted December 23, 2021 I've yet to go round a car boot sale and not see an old webley pistol or 3 for sale at reasonable money. Lovely things to shoot. Had the older typhoon myself. Not the power of my friends hw45 but considerably more accurate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redial Posted December 23, 2021 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2021 Never considered a good old car boot. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks. The original eley wasp 5.6mm .22, I’ve only got a few tins left now. I save them for my old British guns as they fit the bore properly.

redial Posted December 25, 2021 Author Report Share Posted December 25, 2021 What would you use if you didn't have or run out of the 5.6mm. If you don't mind my asking. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walker570 Posted December 25, 2021 Report Share Posted December 25, 2021 Probably possible to ease the skirt out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
