Next Year Springer Ambitions

[Hsing-ee]

I want to

1. scrape together enough to buy a new Feinwerkbau Sporter, I don't care about the reviews or that it is overpriced.
2. get all the rifles set up proper
3. rationalise the collection.

You all?

You all?

Finish my gun room so they can all come out of the attic.

As I am currently in the middle of one of my ocd periods my wish list is pretty large.
I thought my last two weeks of manic rifle buying would stem my compulsive buying, but alas it's just made me realise I want others in my nostalgic collection
So , airsporter s, mercury s, meteor s,
Webley Vulcan, mk3 fwb sport, possibly a supersport se, superstar.
And no doubt several others I've not remembered yet. Must go up to the loft and troll through my 80,s agw,s for inspiration.
No must resist!

Hmm.... from those the SuperStar would be the place to start. Then an old school HW50. And an Anschutz 335, a BSF S70 or B55.... No one seems to be after the Hammerli 401 (or 402, 403 or 420) even though it was much praised by 'Fred Grimwade'. I have one in the back of the cupboard awaiting a refurb.

[look no hands]

When funds allow,

Sort out my new Supersport (I think a reblue is in order) and sort the stock out, the rest of it I have here already (tuning kit and different barrel).

Superstar carbine.

Airsporter RB2 carbine.

May be a Stutzen of some sort.

If the Diana 34sm I found is still around then may get that.

And if the Diana 34 120th anniversary edition should rear it's beautiful head then that will have precedence over all the above.

Mmmm....I really don't NEED any more, but I am one of the few that does actually like the new FWB Sport. Yes, it's pricey. Barrel detent and trigger much better than the old Sports. And it feels QUALITY. Doubt it will happen next year for me, though.

What I really need is more time. More time to shoot the ones that I already have. And more tinkering time....I have an early HW50 to de-twang. A '35 that was bought very cheaply from 18 Wheeler that needs smoothing out. The Gamo Vipermax that I had given me earlier this year. I really like this rifle and it just needs a good de-boinging; firing and cocking cycle otherwise nice. And I'm sure that the Supersport which will be coming my way shortly will need attention......

Are you thinking of going down the same tuning route with your Gamo as my Project 'cock?

A while back I found our one off 77 made for running target, we called it the Airmasters RTS. Full length 77 with a shrouded barrel taken off a 300s. The stock was derived from our FT stock but with a swan neck configuration rather than a thumbhole. The stock had been painted black but I'm nearly there with this one, just a trigger guard to make and it's done.

Under the old mans' tuition I'm also making a FTS stock for my pro sport.

After many years of searching, finally managed to get a 380RT that needs a lot of TLC. It's in shocking condition, has a very broken stock. Bluing is not to bad, can't decide whether to send it to Paul Chell or not. If the stock works out as well as I hope I'll get it done.

Also need to finish off my sport with the record trigger. Just needs bedding into its new stock and a reblue.

Where to find the time?

[robs5230]

For me, the acquisition of a FWB300SU

[MikeHW45]

For me next year will hopefully bring into fruition an HW80 .22, HW98 .177 and maybe a couple of older HW's for a bit of a refurb project and fettle. Also going to attempt to make a really nice quality adjustable rifle stand for working on and cleaning them. And finish my storage construction which is already under way.

[deejayuu]

RustyBuzz. Interested in the Sport trigger conversion. Can you share any details/photos please?

I currently have an old HW 35 .22 Export in bits that I have been putting off for too long. That needs sorting. I also have a hard to resist attraction to buying a new TX to compare against the soon to be returned Paul Short titanium piston modded 97. Actually, comparing the two would not be fair, but I still want a TX!

I also intend to not shoot any PCP rifle at all during the next twelve months at least. Should be interesting in competition!
