Ok people, whats on your list this year then I am doing work in my house this next few months so no purchases at moment. Myself for xmass have got hold of one of the new Walther light weight break barells a Terrus in .22, its fitted with a Leupold 4 copy, try it out tomorrow at club ( depending on weather). So over to you guys and gals.

Just finishing restoring/tuning an anschutz 335 in .177, next up is gonna be a webley tracker .22 then a 1978 original 35 in .22, then reblue a xs20 hw95 clone, then make a stock for a airsporter mk2 from a nice laminate keeping it as true to the original but with a sporting cheek piece & checkering...and I may get a chance to even do some shooting!

Well Dave

I've been working flat out since Christmas Day on the little car I'm building :-

When this is finished I hope to get on with my 35E, this will have a rotary piston on bearings with the stroke stretched to 71mm.

I already have dog of a 35 running an O ring piston head and 71 mm stroke but I think my E deserves going a bit further.




All the best Mick

I have the second half of my LP53 project arriving next Friday, so that should keep me going for a little while.

I also have a Sussex Armoury sidelever that I've just rebuilt, it looks great but is currently underpowered and not very refined to shoot. I had thought to sell it, but I might just try and make it betterer.

The lp53 is a true classic, and the Sussex armourey sideleavers can be a good rifle. I have ownded in the past aParabelum in .22 and a High Power. They were harsh to shoot and very noisey with the plastic stocks however with a bit of work on the actions they were made a better rifle, i filled the hollow stock and it quietended it down. At present I have an Air Arms branded Woodsman carbine, that is one of my real faves, in .22 and useing air arms /jsb,s its a accurate and powerful hunter

Recently sorted out some of my old tool boxes, among the pile of now rusty stuff was a 90 % complete model steam engine that I started when I was an engineering apprentice, I'm past retirement age now and have decided to finish it this year. (along with a couple of others that I started in the meantime).
