7th and 8th April 2018 Boinger Bash --- Event and Payment Details

[TonyL]

I have in my possession a brand spanking 98. I nearly had an immaculate Webley longbow too but someone else bought it

YAY!

So happy for you matey.

Lovely, lovely gun and like the boys have said, there's nothing quite like the feeling (and that lovely aroma) of a brand new gun.

Have you managed to have a go with it yet?

[tinbum]

Do we have any roofers amongst the brethren?

Do we have any roofers amongst the brethren?

Nah, can’t reach.

Skirting boards are my game

[CapitalBee]

Indeedy my fine Boingerati people, we're down to 79 to go now.

It'll soon be here.


BOING!

You're definitely slipping Tone. The XS79, whilst not a springer provided CO2 powered fun, as will tomorrow's offering from the same stable. Then, the day after, well.

The Mrs often hits the roof!


Does that count?

Aha, thanks for posting that out, Mark.

But, although I don't class myself as an "airgun snob" (I have a few cheapies, Crosmans, Gamo Vipermax, Supersport etc) I don't do our oriental offerings.

And, yes, two days' time.....party time!

[Trumpetier]

The Mrs permanently hits the roof!

Changed it for ye mate does she ever come down Tone ?

Only when I......er, um.

Cheers guys, I have just set the beast up, zeroed it and had a good testing session up the garden with it. Unbelievable accuracy and pretty fab straight out the box. A very minor twang but before any mods I'm going to get a good tin or two of pellets through it to bed everything in and let it settle. Awesome gun. On another note in my enthusiastic efforts to start off on the right foot with It I eagerly got the ballistol out of the cupboard to wipe it down before putting it away. Unfortunately my size 9 unwittingly came into contact with the open bottle and I didn't notice until the entire contents had soaked through the carpet. Anyone know how to remove ballistol from carpet

I just knew you'd love it, Mike.

Excellent stuff.

Sorry to hear about your spillage, though.

No worries Tone. Standing on a big wad of kitchen towel on the oil seemed to draw it out pretty well and its and old carpet anyway. My better half found it quite amusing

Could have been the old Diana 79 as well, Marky.

I was one until my knees went
