Halloween Boinger Bash, 28th/29th October --- Event and Payment Details

[Rickenbacker]

You, sarcastic Phil, never and the above makes more sense, maybe Baldinios was a BSA after all as that rings a bell and it was an oldie.

People used to like the 'old' BSA Pylarm pellets in those. Think they were easier on the thumb than most.

If you speak to Baldinio, tell him I've not forgotten about that set-back scope mount for him - I just need to find it.

Paul having got himself a .25 has blooming got me thinking about one again, I keep shelving the idea, but it keeps coming back.
So, who currently does one in a Springer?
Supersport? Ummmm, I've fallen at the first hurdle! I'm going to look into this, back dreckly...

Heres a few .25

Ooh, I didn't know that! Right I know a genius who makes custom pellet sizers (alright bongo me old mate) and I know a place that sells 99s,s at a good price.

Away you go, Jamie!

If you did struggle to locate one, give SFS a call. A little time ago, when many were talking about The Imp, I rang them up and they were quite happy to supply the .25 un-tuned/un-customised.


P.S...Nice one, Mike. In my haste to reply to Jamie, I missed your post.

Cheers for that Mike! Funny they are not selling/advertising the 99? Interesting that they are rather expensive on the normal calibres? They import direct so usually very cheap on the hw,s.
Rather fancy going down the same route as Paul and getting an 80.

[Rickenbacker]

If you're getting a pointlessly heavy calibre - might as well get a pointlessly heavy gun to match.

I really fancy an 80 too. Probably not in .25 as its mainly for targets and plinking but a beautiful gun. Although there is a burning desire to push a 1/4 inch beast into the breech

Will do mate. Funny enough, I was looking at Pylarm pellets today but went for a couple of tins of H&N's in the end as I knew nothing about the Pylarms, they were fairly inexpensive too.

I seem to remember seeing that the Superdome also comes in "Big Boy Flavour" too, Pauly?

Maybe worth a go?

Definitely worth a try Tone, particularly as I will mainly be shooting sub 25yd ranges, I'll give the H&N's a good trial first as I now have 3 tins worth

you already have a HW99, let's just put a .25 barrel on that. I'll warm up the lathe........

His 99 caught fire, if you remember Steve

Careful, it runs away with you and you end up buying a. 303 like I did

That would really please the missus lol. She's happily accepted 4 new airguns into the family in the last 12 months but a .303??? She might flip

[flyingfish]

Mine wasn't happy but with my son and I both shooting she couldn't moan too much.
