I've had people ask if I could bring one along to try, so I may bring a few for people to fit and try themselves. (FOC of course)
i can help you with the tracker on site too, but you'd be doing me a huge favour if you could post the spring and piston to me a few weeks before the event so I can have some Tinny-tinker-time!

Might have a couple of guests, Mick.
Not a BBS member, but a chap who comes to valet our used bikes for the showroom, and his 14 year old son. HW98 and Vulcan.
If it's a yes, shall I just post off another cheque for £40 in my name?
THE BOINGER BASH AT QUIGLEY HOLLOW. MAKING GREAT MEMORIES SINCE 15th JUNE, 2013.
NEXT EVENT :- May 4/5, 2024.........BOING!!
No., Sounds interesting, not heard or seen them.., its just a std baseball cap style with a real tree effect.., for., £3.99!!!! Fab value. I wouldn't wear one but the hood on my cammo jacket is a nightmare as it flops down over my eyes. With the cap the peak keeps my eyes free even when I'm deep under my hood. (i gues this is like the privacy flaps?) All I need to do now is modify my scope cover so it opens and folds flat so it doesn't foul the peak of my cap.....,
It does take time to really get you rig Woking well in the field a....,
I look forward to playing at the bash., what springers you bringing rickenbacker??

Yeah.., it cost a bit, maybe a bit too much but its a liftime investment & seriously its quite somthing., the 2.5x is fab for super close & 10x is plenty for miles away.., its bright, really bright. I can now shoot in moonlight! & the ret is lovley. It does cover all the bases. Il show you at the bash you still up for trading the pred for an EVO for a few comparison shots?

That new scope sounds absolutely lovely, matey. Nice one!
Re the Pred.....Yep, can bring it along if you want. I actually decided the other week to retire it.
I'd already thought about having it serviced by Steve Pope. I could do it myself but, as the maker (Steve Thornley) and Venom are the only people that have been inside it, I thought it'd be nice if Steve would do it, but I guess his waiting list is too long. It's never been serviced/lubed sine it was Lazaglided back in about 1990/91.
Pulled it out of the cabinet the other week. Nipped all the screws up. Trigger blade (non-standard) was catching on the base of the trigger guard. Just backed it off a tad so I could take it down the club....Needs a little spacing washer, really...Over the chrono, 2fps variation but I guess that's 'cos it needs a lube!
Had a few goes and that's when a few memories came flooding back...The reach to pull is MAAAASSSSIVE! And the (rubber) butt pad is really slippery, so if you want to employ a springer friendly loose hold, she slips out of your shoulder.
Still love the old gal, though!
As I have so many other HWs to use I just thought I'd retire it. But, if you'd like me to bring it along, I can, no problem! Just for you!

I'll bring it along, matey. It'd be nice for you to have another go on her and nice for some others to see, too.
If I get the chance, I'll give it a lube service and sort that blade to guard clearance.
I was planning on dropping some spring and guide kits into my 99 and one of the 95s....Starting tomorrow with the 99, but it's looking like tomorrow's going tits up already with hospital appointments etc!
Gotta happen soon, though!

The SLR went off to an engineer friend of mine who promptly set about making a tool for getting out the blockage. I really must see about getting my gun back off him! lol
Mind you - I never really bought it as a gun for shooting much - I just wanted one out of interest and for the collection really (daft I know - but if that rumoured Feinwerkbau underlever ever appears I will be having one of them too for probably the same reason! )
