    Hi everyone, my name is Jef and I'm a pistolaholic.
    I am doing well in recovery at the moment, I haven't bought a pistol since the pair of Nemesises (Nemesisi?) last February. I weakened slightly over a FAS in the sales section recently but by the time I'd made my mind up it was gone, so I stayed clean. I also nearly bought Fooq's FWB300s, not a pistol I know, but it scratches the same itch, that's gone too, and not to me.
    Now I have a bad case of delerium tremens, I have this incredible urge to by a pistol. I have a list ready too, in no special order;-
    Early Webley Premier, all blued.
    A FAS 604.
    Beretta PX4
    Skif 3000 (yeah I know, but every collection should have one )
    I think I need help. I know, I'll buy a Chrony instead and see if that helps.

    hey Jef hows it going, haven't seen you on the board for a while.
    looks like its going to be a race between us if a px4 comes up cheap in the sales section

    B*gger,
    I'm off work with a knackered right knee and have nothing to do, and to make it worse I've fallen off the wagon!
    I have a cunning plan for a SSP to MSP conversion & needed a good base to work with
    Cookie forgive me for I am weak!

    Nick! Noooo not a nearly mint 75!
    Butcher a 2004E or Gamo thing instead!



    Will be very interested in progress reports though, must have pics too!

    The plan is not to modify the standard bits but to make new ones and end up with two interchangeable sets of internals

    Oh that's ok then, get cracking!
    To reiterate: we do need pics though!

    I still need to get round to servicing my 75. If you could note the relevant o-ring sizes as you go that would be grand too

    Seriously though; very exciting project. Lowish power is the only downside of the 75.

    Hi Sol, still here. Sunny weather and she who must be obeyed thinks it should all be used up on garden projects, re-pointing the chimney and fixing a new TV aerial, so I've been a little busy lately. I only just managed to shoot the 10m and I'm rapidly running out of time for the PP and vintage comps, and we're away this weekend.

    OK guys I need some help. I promised myself no more guns. I really meant it.

    I shouldn't have looked around. Now I 've realised that the Dan Wesson also comes in a BB version I want one. With an extra set of shells so I can use it in the Police comp. I missed one yesterday, but I'll keep looking, I mean resisting.

    Tell me I'm wrong, tell me I don't need this.....please

    Paul,
    Are you thinking of the "Dirty Harry" potential of dumping cases & using a speed loader?
    If so there's little else out there giving you that capability and the Dan Wesson pistols are definitely good for what they are/cost.
    I'm not really helping here, am I?
