June 3rd & 4th Boinger Bash --- Event and Payment Details

[TonyL]

So it's either :-

A) Try to get back in Shirl's good books.

or

B) Spend the week in a field with Bongo.


Tough call.

Plan A methinks, Mick.

After all, you should still have lands of KitKats left over from when the Bongomeister paid you in confectionery!

[TonyL]

Just 32 sleeps to go now, peeps!

Blimey; in little over FOUR WEEKS' time, some fine, lucky Boingeristi will be arriving for a further fix of fun and therapy.

It'll be upon us before you know, so........


GET THEM FUN TOKENS IN!


BOING!!

In 4 weeks time I will be doing my headless chicken impersonation. I know I have everything I need but where is it

So after a nice cup of coffee I purchased a new stock, new trigger unit and other assorted spares in order to return the SSP Mohawk action that Transporter acquired for me back into a working gun.

Bloody hell, this thing's fun.

A bit naughty with Barracudas but Bob on with pellets under 16grain.

[Paul SE]

Sounds interesting Paul, give us an idea, what sort of things ?

Bits of aircraft engine, connectors, maybe some train cable connectors. All depends what ends up in the scrap bin that has either been scrapped during production or returned from customers


Maybe some military comms stuff that has seen better days, and sometimes it's really boring and there's nothing exciting in there

That sounds good mate lithium battery's are always worth a plink at but we best check with Mick before-hand though.

If you've got room in the Rover and don't mind packing another rifle for the journey Mick, maybe you could bring it along to the next Bash if your thinking of coming along

Firebird exploding targets taped to a little plastic bottle of unleaded is the way forward

Sounds good that does I remember you used to be able to buy little rubbery bottles that contained lighter fluid, snip the end off and it was enough to fill a Zippo. I wonder if you can still get them ??

Will it be easy to tame down, Mick?

What type of valve does it employ? A "dump it all" blow off arrangement? (Ooo-er, sounds a little rude, does that). Or hammer and knock open?

Very easy to adjust, Tone, I just need to shorten the pump rod to reduce the pressure.

The valving is just a simple knock open valve employing the same hammer and trigger unit as the multipump Mohawk.
In fact the single stroke and multipump Mohawks share many components --- a very clever design policy from Mr Bowkett.

The action came fitted with a Falcon breech and barrel and has an issue in that the angle the bolt has to revolve through is too great for the gun.
Adjusted one way the bolt hits the cocking lever, adjusted the other way the bolt fouls the scope, so I'm going to alter the angle needed by a little welding to the track in the bolt.

Exactly what I was thinking Mick

Excellent stuff, Mick.

Shame you can't just stuff a Hobby into the bolt "gate" like you can do with the '35 detent!

The "blow open" being a phall and the hammer a Madras?
