    When I had a .22 chopped by him quite a while back the conversion was excellent. I collected in person & his parting words were 'I've left it a few ft/lbs over the limit as it shoots better like that'

    No you don't!

    you must be joking. I said I will leave it a few ftlbs over it shoots better. you must be smoking something pretty heavy. unless you could supply me a valid fac cert it wouldn't go from me anything over 12ft fact

    Wrong. I dropped the rifle to you and collected inform Shifnal and those were your words - fact.

    Ha, your not on your own, I gave him a hw100 to service and rebuild as it had a leak, came back still leaking, I was told, oh I don't do the cylinder as they can be notoriously difficult, and I couldn't test it as you didn't include a filler probe with the gun, but happy to send you the seals if you want to have a go yourself, still waiting for the silencer that never came back with it.

    Carl, we have spoken about this several times before, still nothing, your not a man of your word.

    Yes it is Carl Garbett- i can post all the emails and texts that we have exchanged if you want plus pictures of your posting (that you kindly sent me albeit days after you originally claimed the gun was posted) and the packaging it was returned in (sorry I must claim credit for that picture)!

    Oh hang on let me think.... why don't I stage a picture of what was posted to you now and that should prove it, I must be a genius!.......the camera never lies! Are you in all seriousness saying that!!

    Cost me £210 plus and I am going to stiff you for a a £53 magazine after paying that - seriously?, again shame if you do not know what is going on.

    Then you say in the next breath that you have a .22 magazine in stock, well good for you but wtf am i going to do with that in a .177 gun?

    .funny thing is I only found this thread because I searched for airtech. I wanted to know people's thoughts on the company. I was looking for a longer cylinder for my Ultra.

    I think I'll take a rain check on that one!

    Stop picking holes in this would you. It's an obvious solution, all you do is wrap the pellets in little bits of rag so they fit nice n snug....see..easy init
