right lets put a few things straight Mr Foster your right about the hw90 well half right anyway
when Matt came to pick up his hw90 it was not charged i told Matt this a few days before he came to pick up and he said he would charge it himself and i can assure you it was NOT full of grease
so my fault or not i did the right thing by Matt and he also had a free blacking
and as for the Airmasters that is a complete load of rubbish a friend of mine sent me the hw80 airmasters for blacking he brought a project rifle and when the job was done we found out that the transfur port had been drilled out by the last owner nothing to do with me
and Paul ive sent you an email

Paul has blacked over 15 rifles for me, and there has never been a problem with the rifles when I've received them back from him, until the Airmasters Mastersport hw80 came back to me. The problem wasn't caused by Paul! When I received it back I wasn't happy with the way it was shooting, and Paul advised me to discuss it with Nick, who knows everything about Airmasters tuned rifles. Straight away Nick knew what the issue was and offered to resolve the issues for me. At no point was there ever any thought that the problems were caused by Paul. The issues were that a previous owner had changed the calibre from .22 to .177, which combined with the 4mm Airmasters port and a few other missing Airmasters parts caused the rifle to shoot very badly. Nick has now resolved the issues and I am looking forward to getting the rifle back. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend either Nick or Paul for their areas of expertise. If I remember correctly, I had removed the piston seal before I gave the rifle to Nick to sort.

Thank you Shaunj for the correct version of the story not Mr Fosters bullshite version

I have had a couple of my rifles worked on by Paul including a HW35e which he totally rebuilt for me (which I have literally opened 5 mins ago) and as usual his work is stunning. Thoroughly nice bloke, craftsman and gent. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending him to anyone!

I think we need Matt Winterbourne's story as to what you did to the 90. That gun came to us with the ram full of grease. You'd had it apart and the grease didn't get there itself. I can assure you, it was full of grease. We had to weld the ram up due to it having a great big slit in the cocking slot which was damaged due to the wrong cocking shoe. We put new seals on it too and got it right. But i suppose that's the difference between them who know and them who don't. Had you been the HW restorer you claim to be, you would have found this out.
I had to reblack it because the job you did was shite. That's why Matt asked for money back, but in the end if I'm not mistaken, you gave him a gun instead.

As for the Airmasters 80, I thought you were HW restorers on facebook. That job should have been a piece of p### to you surely. 😂😂😂

That makes no sense and doesn't answer the question. Just like a politician, dodge the question. 😂😂

According to Derbyshire Police you don't have to be a R.F.D. to work on other people's air rifles. This is a quote from their website.

Notes with regard to Registered Firearms Dealers

The Firearms Acts 1968, subsequently amended by many other acts and secondary legislation control the possession and use of firearms, shotguns and air weapons. If you wish to sell or repair firearms, shotguns or sell air weapons by way of trade or business you must register with the police as a firearms dealer. If you simply repair air weapons as a business you do not need to become a dealer where the air weapon already belongs to someone (unless it is an FAC air rifle!).

That’s only true if you never buy and sell any guns yourself which basically means anyone who sells even a couple of guns a year and repairs airguns would need an RFD the penalties are so severe

Registration as a Firearms Dealer
• From the date on which the Rules take effect, only registered firearms dealers (RFDs) will be permitted to sell or transfer air weapons by way of trade or business. ‘Transfer’ includes letting on hire, giving, lending or parting with possession.
• Air weapons repairers will not be required to be RFDs but the complexity of the law about transfers of air weapons to individuals linked with the fact that most repairers sell at least a small number of air weapons means that most would be wise to become RFDs.

It also means if you receive a gun that’s over the limit which happens far too regularly or even have parts which would together become over the limit again you’re in a whole pile of trouble

The only time it’s really possible to repair guns without an RFD is if you are working say for a large shop and operate under their RFD

In this case there is no need if you work on the guns at the shop in question (their registered premises on the RFD document). If you take guns away from their premises to work on them at any other premises (e.g. your home workshop) then you must be registered with the constabulary as an employee (used to be called "servant to an RFD") to transport the guns and that transfer must be recorded on the shop register (booked out) and booked in at the other RFD premises.
You may work on an FAC gun without holding an RFD cert if the FAC holding owner of the gun or the RFD who has the gun booked in is present while the work is taking place. It cannot be left unattended by the FAC holder or the RFD responsible for it at any time.
