That's the plan for these four Bob, one has already gone to a Rivi member I will be using mine for the 6yrd mpl & hopefully the other two will be put into active service within the club

As door stops and fire pokers.

I must admit that I like the look of the 10 more than any other family members. Never seen one in the flesh though.

Don't think you quite grasped the concept of a hammer forged barrel AndyAnyway I'm sure you've done any resale value the world of good with that little tale.

Im sure there will be at least two people bidding for it if he puts it on E-Gun.

You want to see him do a barley twist one!

Actually Steve, do you want me to use my "special" methods of barrel straightening on your new 8000? Looked a bit squiffy to me.

Yours Grouped ok for me Andy & it looked like you were pulling them in nicely last night I don't think the lump hammer did it any harm

[Amac]

Thank you John. You really cant beat a good old lump hammer for minor adjustments. They are even useful for beating people with if they go out of alignment as well. Just leave the wood out for even more affect!

That was fashioned during his "Salvador Dali" period

Currently working on my "knotted" barrel effect. Its the one whereby the shooter gets it in the face when the seals go.I was hoping a certain member of RR might buy one to go with the used FWB.

Not "The Rocket"????

" A do one!"

[Amac]

...could well be.

Well, removed the barrel from the action and tried the tube. No effect. Decided upon a 2lb hammer and a block of wood and a couple of strikes later the barrel is as straight as a very straight thing. If you try this approach, make sure to use a couple of bits of wood or some soft vice jaws to clamp the barrel tightly before commencing the hammer violence, and obviously use a straight edge (12 steel rule) on top of breech block to check on progress. Mine must have had at least 3 mm of deflection front to back, no wonder it was shooting to the stars!
Now removed my modification to the foresight assembly as the gun is shooting where it is pointed again.
I think I might have been a bit harsh in my original assessment of this gun. Now it is straight, and I am not as frustrated, it is pleasant to shoot. Incidentally, when the action was removed from the grips, it is very apparent how well engineered the gun is. Trigger is also surprisingly good as I further reduced the sear engagement. Looking forward to setting this one up properly now at the clubs indoor 10m range.

Sorted!

Now you have a perfect air pistol to enter the 6 yard MPL with Andy

This is a classic competition run along the lines of the old NARPA competition and is designed to be shot with classic pistols of the type that would have been used at that time i.e. - springers and SSP.

6 yards means that anybody can practice at home with no club or range fees to pay, and the stamped competition targets supplied can be shot at any time during the time period.

The tutu is an option that can also be worn if it makes you feel more comfortable when you shoot - but is not required for the live shoulder to shoulder finals at the end of the season if you choose to enter that as well ( included in the modest £10 entry fee)
