April Fools Day Boinger Bash 2017 --- Event and Payment Details

[tinbum]

The barrel is now down to 6.5" or 10" including the breechblock, isn't there a legal requirement for barrel length ?. From what I described though, is that likely to be the cause of blunderbuss type grouping ? It chrono's very consistently at around 11.5 fpe.

I can't believe I'm getting into a technical debate with The Mr Budd Be gentle with me Jon

No requirement for sub 12fpe guns. As jon said its the crown. Bring it and we'll ask mick nicely if we can play with a lathe.

A lovely offer showing the true Brotherhood of The Bash spirit.

Nice one, Nick.

That's very kind of you Nick X

Yep, happy (for you anyway) to work on it. My (very limited) thinking is, it's 28 years old, shooting like a tramp on meths and cut down shorter than my long trousers ! Isn't there a choke in all air rifle barrels ??? Well, that's gone ! It's tough enough to cock at 10" + moderator. I'd have to get a new mod anyway as the one on it is well banjaxed. I'm just thinking a new barrel may be the way to go and it would/could be 1/2 inch UNF ??

However, by way of nostalgia..... If you wanna take me and my shooting stick down Micks 'barn' for a bit of 'fettling', then, I'm up for it - as long as The Captain is there as my chaperone (yet again !)
