Bulmer does a strip -what's missing?

[Sam Vimes]

I'd love the disc if it became available.

Ever done the Webley MKIII? I am led to believe that it has been done but I have never seen the article. Where on earth do you get one of those spring compression jigs? I would love one but have never even seen one for sale. I wish I had one when I stripped my MKIII earlier this year. It would have saved a lot of swearing, sweating and grunting.

[QUOTE=nutshot]A sharp innova strip would be very handy to me .
I have a lovely innova with a walnut stock which holds no air .

Some four years ago I picked up a Sharp Innova but discovered it had a split reciever. I found out that Hull Cartridge were the importers and carried spares so sent them the gun which they repaired and sent back, all for £80.

Maybe an article by Phil would have saved me the cost as I believe Hull still carry the spares.

Very interesting discussion. Three points occur to me.

I. Phil, please continue the series if at all possible - it's a highlight of the magazine.

2. Yes, I'd be very interested in a CD.

3. Hello Sam Vimes, when I used to do strips (airguns) I use a sashclamp as a spring compressor - certainly did the trick.

Unfortunately, the powers that be at 'Romsey' do not consider the idea of a CD of 'Bulmer Does A Strip' articles to be commercially viable, so it is unlikely that one will appear in the near future.

[Shaggy]

If the information is available? & assuming it was to be copied to a disk? Someone could distribute the disk for others who want all the information on it I'd love all the info for Reference purposes.

Maybe even distribute it at cost ONLY!! Or add a bit Charity?
Dunno say £3 per disk, £2 for CD & Posting & £1 for a Worthy cause. If every one's name was declared that would verify who's bought a copy of it. That way it will be clear to establish who's bought it & work out proceeds to a Worthy Cause? Just an Idea like!
Maybe the BBS members could vote for a worthy cause for the profits to go too

Just an idea like, ya know we all get something for reference, strip downs & part no's & then a Charity get a bit as well it'll be a win situation all round?

What about a new section on the BBS with all your strip articles as a source of reference for everyone?

Hi Phil, re strip articles for the future, the brocock orion/specialist/combat series has to be a good contender specifically because there are a lot out there which noone except the owner can now work on due to the Weapon of mass hysteria rating (not bitter - much) anyway it would be useful to many owners for the above reason and could also be used to dispel some of the myth/misinformation around excatly what you can and cannot fix/modify/upgrade.
Most folks need to know about checking the retaining ring around the firing pin for correct tightness (too much either way any you have problems, checking the pin itself as they wear out quite quickly (even had one break).
Unfortunately the cobra has a slightly different mechanism round the hammer but would still be relevant to all the owners of cobras s&p orions 3s & 6s etc plus a small diversion into the single action western type brocock/pietta/uberti

there are 75000 or so brococks(less about 2k handed to the Polis)


Also the servicing of the tac themselves is a black art with the current and older versions which most people will never even have seen

I've got some early ones full of ball bearings that seem to charge the other way round and some that are a true .38 size as opposed to the current tapered design...

I'LL have a disk with all the strips on too please, especially if it helps a charity too

[LagomorphHunter]

Apologies if this is already covered, but have you done pistols?

My son has five, one's an old 1940's Webley and he has my old BSA Scorpion, that needs reworking to get the safety right.

Just a thought, a variation on a theme really.

FAO Phil Bulmer - could you please arrange to strip a Kylie or even a Jordon or something similar in that sort of calibre. Thanks in advance .Stan.

Hi all,

I've only just picked this thread back up again, just come back from Hadrian's Wall country in Northumberland where the rain was moving in sideways sheets, it was a mud and cold 'fest'. No wonder the Romans got this far and said 'effercio is parumper ludus of militis' (or nearest offer).

As for the idea of strip on a disk, I think it may happen in the future but it's not as simple as you might expect. I've looked at the process and it's not as financially viable as you might think, there's quite a few folk who'd need a cut from it -which is fair enough. I've not written the idea off but it's on ice until further notice.

As for subjects, well the Scorpion is being done in the next week (much to DC's relief -will post it back soon :-) ). I've got a Crosman 1322 coming shortly, a Sharp Innova is on my hotlist, so if there's one out there that needs attention then mail me.

I did servicing the BAC cartridge only within the last year or so. I started the series with a Brocock Colt 1851 copy, not a detailed strip but probably sufficient to work with. I'll consider the Orion as a strip but it won't be easy as I can't acquire one. That new Chinese Griffon take down gun is on my list, should be interesting. I might have a FWB Sport to do, but after that I'm running out, any more suggestions?

If you can get Kylie in the post to me I'll do the rest with more pleasure than you could possibly imagine. Hey, whatever happened to Imogen Stubbs?

Don't for get to include pics of the strip!

[Fenman]

Definitely the Sharp Innova for me. A real swine to work on I hear. A Sharp may keep you busy for some time

[magicdog]

Phil

I've got an Innova in .22 which needs a service - shall I send it up?

It's putting out about 350fps with six pumps...?

Cheers
