    Cool I just knew it........

    That Airgun World would be sat at home waiting for me today, that is.

    Dunno why, but I just had the feeling that my favourite fix would be there.

    As the dog dog needed taking out and feeding, I've only had a brief flick through it and, as ever, it's a corker.

    With its crowning glory, for us BoingerPeeps......a whole seven pages of Jim's spring tech. Lovely jubbly. There's the continuing update of his volume reducing sleeve for the TX, de-tuning lively springers and playing with a HW55 (leather to synthetic seal conversion and findings). Can't wait to digest these, thank you Mr T.

    And all this just before the Boinger Bash weekend, oh joy of joys!

    Think I spotted an article by a lady going hunting squirrels with boingers, too.


    BOING!

    Yep, AGW, JT (& TD) make for a perfect combination -- much like my Walther Centenary, DampaMount and Nikko Sterling Gold Crown 4-12x44 front parallax mil-dot scope.

    Managed to read a couple of Jim's finest so far. And, as expected, the usual, excellent stuff.

    Those graphs and accompanying text on the TX full length vs HC showing recoil, surge and pellet exit timings are most informative.

    Just the leather to synthetic seal one to get stuck into now.

    That's nowt, you should see his tomato closhes. (mighty fine tommys though -- as indeed are the free range eggs from the Old Sage's free range chickens). Yep, a man of many parts is our Jim -- and all of them, it would seem, governed by the chaos theory of filing.

    Would that be in the Worlds feature, Grumps?

    Think I've got John's excellent (again) looking article on pistol trigger technique next and then the Worlds FT one.

    Excellent letter from a lady, too, where she takes advice from Terry to help get her son started. The son uses it with his grandad who also bites the bug....excellent!

    And I thought the UBC feature on the HW45 was good reading....didn't realise so many of these pistols were females, mind!


    Once again, Mr D and Team, you've done us proud.
