    Can you get replacement bulbs for Milbro cubs

    I keep seeing these come up, all with hardened bulbs. I cannot bring myself to buy one, knowing I can't play with it.

    On evil bay at the moment, you can buy a whole Sphygmomanometer for £3.99 delivered. Might be of interest even if it's just to measure your blood pressure.

    Have just received a cub from Vic, can't get over the fact that the rear sight has calibration for 20 metres. If the zombies do turn up, this has surely got to be the weapon of choice. The legendary Gat cannot compete, and those little balls have got to sting.

    Just ask one of the Hong Kong sellers to send you the bulb-it just pulls off.
    Give you a fiver for your rear sightTrev

    I received bulb yesterday, exit hole needs drilling out to fit over retainer. Anyhow, a sharp squeeze and you can feel a puff of air coming from the barrel. Poured a few bbs in, but they just seem to drop out of the barrel, need to play a bit more. A lot of info on Trevs airgun scrapbook, there is even a stock and barrel extension available. Imagine the capabilities of this thing. Must find one.

    I often learn new things here, but I can honestly say I never expected the meaning of sphygmomanometer to be one of them

    Dave,sounds like you need to replace your diaphragm.That little bit of rubber in the breech-end of the barrel.Get a surgical glove and cut out a new latex disc.Heat a needle and burn a 1mm hole in it.Bob's your uncle!

    PS there is a Pneuma-tir aluminium stock at the Fr.eb right now!http://s21.photobucket.com/user/cine...79a58.jpg.html
