BoNes has a bowkett hornet and may be able to help you

Mr Bowketts number is: 0121 745 4287

Almost certainly you will have to leave your number (he's often in the workshop), he will phone you back.

The blueprint work, which takes the rifle from factory standard to design standard, costs £75. His work also comes with a guarantee, so will be the best money you can spend on a service.

John has done a great job on my SuperTen. He is a top bloke and will always get back to you.

[Ricky Rockets]

Have a word with Gary C. I believe he has a FAC super ten.

[JCTH1]

Can he tinker with the AAS410 like theoben can. regulate it etc???

"what work can John Bowkett do to the Falcon FN19?? "

Probably anything, he designed it!

He really is a top bloke, one of the nicest people you could deal with IMO, and he is one of the world's foremost experts on anything airgun-related, whether it is ancient or modern pneumatic, or has a spring in!

[Meerkat]

Absolutely top bloke, couldn't agree more.

Took my S10K which shot BisMags extremely well but didn't like light pellets and went through a load of barrels until he found one that liked JSB exacts and fitted it.

The target he sent back with it at 55 yds just showed a ragged hole. Only wish I could do that.

Also set it to 11.7 with BisMags so I can legally use them if I want for hunting. (Since I've got 3 tins of 'em still).

Just for the record, J.B. doesn't make much money doing what he does, so you get very good value for money when you spend it with him. He's pretty good to his customers, and will often spend waaayyyyy too long (for his own good) explaining why something 'does this' rather than 'does that'.

Great bloke.

[JCTH1]

after a 15 minute chat he said he doesnt make any money from blueprinting. its royalties or sumit.

very nice bloke and did say that he wouldnt touch neither an AAS410 or Falcon fn19.

so Mr Bowkett will have the pleasure of tinkering with me S10 and Mr Theoben probs with me AAS410 if i feel i want it regged.
