Thanks Pete but I really need it a tad sooner.

Yep query solved Matey. I just never gave it much thought to be honest. One of the chaps at the Range suggested I experiment with putting my disused HW77 rear sight on the dovetail of the 30 bringing it further back to see if I might get a more crisp view of both front and rear as I did find the position of the rear sight slightly blurry due to my eyesight. Gotta be worth a try but I’m happy enough with the current set up if I can’t improve it slightly.

A good idea Pauly the sliding 77 R/S block. You can slip in and / or glue a selected small washer over the rearsight u-notch and thereby achieve a tidy aperture or peep sight which can really improve shooting on opens by virtue of the longer sight base and the instinctive centering by the eye of the F/S in the peep hole.

Would that make our Pauly a little peeping Tom, Ted?

Just 16 little sleepies to go (for the Saturday peeps).

BOING!


Who will be the first through the gate this time?

Thanks for that Ted, I never knew about the ‘trick’ with the washer but I fully get how that could bring about an improvement.

[Alanok2002]

Better still - maybe an excuse to buy an extra gun, Pete?

How about a nice little HW30S? That way you could kill two birds with the same stone......a nice little open sighted springer AND membership to the HW30 Owner's Club.

And do you have a little 30 your parting with tony

[Alanok2002]

Open sight plinking ive just found a bag of xmas tree baubles would they be anygood for the bash also got a frame for them to hang onto not sure what mess they would make when shot due to them breaking over to you uncle mick as you have to tidy up after us 😃

Phil if youve got access to a stirrup pump i could post you my best fittings adapter which i think would fit the hw90 mate

Out of interest mate, how many pumps/what sort of pressure would you put into a HW90 gas ram assuming it’s ‘empty’ ?? An air tank would be too much I would think ?

Without doing a search im not 100% sure mate. Its not a huge ammount of pressure though. I suspect it would be a bit dicey using a bottle having said that ive never actually tried it.

The Slim Jim hand pumps I’ve seen wouldn’t be giving much pressure output I reckon so probably only 4 or 5 pumps on that ?? So, a stirrup pump.... maybe only a stroke or two ??

[TonyL]

And do you have a little 30 your parting with tony

Nope, sorry, Al. Most definitely not.

Would never sell any of my springers.

Hey Pauly.

I hope you've been stroking and admiring your new baby some more today.
