[verminator]

Don't mind working on my springers but leave pcp's to the experts.

I can't help myself; i always tinker with my guns, partly out of curiousity, to see what particular querks of design it might have, and because i like to make sure they are running smoothly. if anything did go wrong with any of them, i probably couldn't spare the time or money to have them looked at by an 'expert'.

[andyiow]

I'm like Deano, just pick them up and shoot them. If they are playing up then it goes back to the supplier or a specialist like Sam <img src="http://jsramsbottom.co.uk/bbs/e/icon_biggrin.gif" alt="Big Grin" width="15" height="15"><!--graemlin::D--> .

Cheers Andy. I thought i was on my own there for a minute. <img src="http://jsramsbottom.co.uk/bbs/e/icon_wink.gif" alt="Wink" width="15" height="15"><!--graemlin:;)--> <img src="http://jsramsbottom.co.uk/bbs/e/icon_biggrin.gif" alt="Big Grin" width="15" height="15"><!--graemlin::D-->

[naturalskinhead [TREV]]

I'll do basic tunes, services, power adjusts and the like. If I don't know what needs to be done with a certain rifle I can usually find out on here. Anything more than the above and its off to be done by a professional.

[robinburt]

I tinkered with my lightning using a hammer, allen key and screwdriver. It's ugly, but it still knacks the bunnies.

No-one told me the internals had to come out before the maxi-grip comes off... <img src="http://jsramsbottom.co.uk/bbs/e/icon_biggrin.gif" alt="Big Grin" width="15" height="15"><!--graemlin::D-->

I have a dabble now and again, but leave the serious stuff to the experts, why ruin a good gun for the sake of a few bob spent with someone who really knows what they are doing, you can get knowledge out of a book............but skill........... now, that takes years of practice! <img src="http://jsramsbottom.co.uk/bbs/e/icon_smile.gif" alt="Smile" width="15" height="15"><!--graemlin::)-->
