    Airgun darts

    Does anyone know of a good quality airgun dart in .177?

    I have some Bisley branded ones at the moment. Some won't fit in the barrel, and the others shed their flight bristles all over the place.

    Cheers
    Garry

    I wasn't aware that such a thing existed. You do know they're meant for smoothbores - they will trash a rifled barrel...

    Milbro Mohawk ones on seem to claim to be all singing/dancing

    I don't think they're quite as evil as suggested, but I'd suggest you check your barrel choke is compitable - & why do you want to shoot such a nineteenth century thing in the first place?,

    There was a heads up about some 22 darts in the July's Airgun world magazine, from SMK. I can't find them on the web site though.?

    I got some .177 and .22 a few months back, I have a couple of old Diana's, the 15 & 22 models, work fine in them. We have a big party coming up (Golden Wedding) and I am hoping to have a bit of a fun shoot in the garage just for a bit of fun.
    Can't remember where I got them but SMK rings a bell.

    Bought some from my local RFD. The flights and body are resilient plastic so do not damage the barrel or disintegrate. You should only use them in a low powered airgun or they will overpenetrate due to the sharp steel core. Beware of ricochet if hit any hard surface at an oblique angle.

    BAR are advertising these darts both .177 and .22 on their web site, give them a call.

    Try a 'bay search for Harrington Gat darts or similar. I recently obtained some original unopened packets from Germany this way.

    I'd suggest low powered smoothbore barrels only as otherwise darts stick in too deep and are more prone to damage. A Webley Junior pistol and an old dartboard can provide hours of fun.

    Just an idea, but instead of the darts. Why not get a cheap table top bell target and use that instead. Such a rewarding feeling when that bell rings!!!

    A good idea. Why not be greedy like me and do both?

    I can recommend Red Bob's bell targets. They are built to last a lifetime or two! Bob even made me a replica of a pre war A.G. Parker target with interchangeable face plates.
