    New barrels,should have known, didn't.

    Hi, as above really. Wanted to purchase a new barrel for an AirArms rifle and could not get one. OK go to Chambers thinking OH dear that is £25 RFD charge to pick it up from 'my' RFD. No the only option was a barrel blank which I could buy and have delivered straight to me, That is good.
    Cheers.
    Geoff.

    Hello, it was for a Air Arms MK1 S200. Sorted now, barrel blank and swarf, all I need now is for a reamer to arrive and I am all done.
    Thank you.
    Cheers.
    Geoff.

    Exactly what I've been banging on about for ages.

    Far too many rifles to list now, all mainly British but the odd pesky foreigner has snuck in

    Isn't the S200 actually a CZ built rifle, did you attempt to get one direct from them ?

    Hello angrybear, Sir you are not wrong and indeed they are marked as such, it was quite simple really, I just didn't think of it. It has been a crazy couple of weeks with family and domestic stuff. Just more of the same old stuff and I am not too good at sorting more than one thing at a time.
    Cheers.
    Geoff.
