MPL 2019 Spring/Summer Postal Competition.

[PhatMan]

Bob,

I haven't heard any grizzling WRT HW99S' fitted with Custom Stocks CS 'target' stocks - e.g. CS700 & CS800.

I don't know if the trigger reach issue is better with these ?

The lolly sticks etc. were a much less expensive option

I will be giving my HW30S' stock the lolly stick treatment soon ( Igor, it lives, bwa-ha-ha-ha.. )

Have fun & a good weekend

Best regards

Russ

Don't worry Rob,

Use the link I sent to you and you can get one for £18.95 (including postage) and the others that I ordered previously arrived within a few days so you won't have to wait too long for it to arrive.

Enjoy your weekend,

Bob.

I think I prefer to start collecting lolly sticks rather than buy a new Custom Stock to fit my HW99S (bit expensive for a pensioner don't you know! ) but if I ever see a good used example at an affordable price it could be of some interest !

My HW30S is still my favourite MPL "shooter" but it is just too small for me. Fitting the '30 mechanism into a larger stock would be a perfect fix but would involve some work unless of course CS made one that would bring the rifle up to size! Not much chance of finding one of these on the second-hand market though!

Building-up the grip is a good idea, but I would also want to lengthen the stock as well so I will give it a "good coat of looking at" (again) and see if I can find a suitable lump of wood to add to the rear of the stock to make it a bit longer.

If I can find a used HW30 stock at a good (read low) price I would be happy to start a project to make it longer, add a higher cheekpiece and a target stye of pistol grip to see what I can do with it. If it works it could make the perfect MPL rifle ( for me at least!) - but meanwhile I will work with the '99S as it is naturally a bit larger and if I can make it shoot as sweetly as my '30 I would be very pleased with it - and it does have good potential !

Its probably about time I got my MPL entry sorted-out and started shooting some targets!

Seems like I am not alone in being a "slow starter" this season - so let's get this competition going and see if any of us can improve on what we scored in the last competition.

It also gives us the chance to shoot a different airgun than we used last season perhaps?

I have already started rummaging around to see what needs some exercise - and of course there is also those "new additions" that we may have picked-up or refurbished since last season too!

My old Centre under-lever pistol could do with a bit of attention - and I also have an old grey plastic grip type of Model 6 that is being rebuilt and should be ready for use again shortly......and that old Model 5 could be coaxed back into action again too.....decisions, decisions........!

Well done Rob - good to have you shooting with us again!

Have you thought any more about taking part in the air pistol competition?

Bob.

Not anywhere as good with a pistol as i was, 2 handed i'm still not bad, but a left master shoulder injury has taken its toll on single handed shooting i'm afraid, good news is Mrs RTD wants to have a try, if she likes it i will pay her subs as well.

Don't want to encourage her leaving the kitchen to often though.....

My pistol shooting is pretty hopeless these days too (similar reasons with damaged neck/shoulder/back etc) but I may still have a go this season - just to get some use our of my old pistols.

If you put the pellet trap in the kitchen you could get Mrs RTD to shoot her targets in there !

Hi Rob,

Hows the recovery coming along?

Hoe you will be fit enough to start shooting again soon!

Hi,

Not good i'm afraid, i was hoping that after a month i would be at least 50% better but sadly not, shooting hurts, holding the rifle hurts, tried to work, but that cripples me with pain,

The joys of working for yourself !


Picked up a used 177 99 while iv'e been off, which i'd hoped to mod the same as my other one ie Williams sight etc, so i could shoot it at 10m, with the first one being zero'd in it 6yds. Iv'e reduced the spring & its running at 8ftlb at the moment, i just need to shoot it in to see where it settles at, but can't manage more that 5 shots.

Sorry you are not back in action yet Rob but hope you start to feel better again soon.

Good to see you are keeping yourself amused in the meantime - I am sure your second HW99 mod will work out OK ready for you to shoot at 10 meters.
