    I've been keen to get hold of some of these for a while and have been looking out for their general release.

    That's a good weight for a .177.. will there be a .20?

    The FTs receive another mention today on the PyramydAirBlog by Mr Gaylord. He's been given a few different batches in two different sizes to evaluate, so I'm guessing that production won't have started yet as the factory strive to glean more feedback?

    I noticed last night that the new FTs are now showing on the John Rothery site and Uttings are also listing them as being in stock.

    I'll ring my favourite little RFD on Monday and see if he can order some in.

    I wonder if JSR may have them soon?

    P.S.....Also, as you'd expect, now on the factory site, too.

    P.P.S.......I've just e-mailed JSR to see if they will be getting some in.

    Cool Brilliant service!

    As per previous post, I e-mailed JSR yesterday evening.

    Reply received from George at JSR in the early hours of a Sunday morning saying he'l contact their suppliers and report back.

    Just a little bit good, I thought.

    I bet JSR do us proud and get them in swiftly for us. But, until they do, obviously no price yet.

    Looking at the Uttings site, they're £9.99 a tin. They quote that price for a tin of 500, but the image of the tin states that the contents are 400.
