    Got a MkIV IST.

    Scarily accurate as a BR rifle once you get the stripper set correctly.

    You know we've all got those rifles we're never selling? this is one of mine.

    There has to be an awful lot of these rifles out there, and you don't see many for sale, so I'd safely say there are a lot of "keepers" out there

    Daystate Grey Shadow Limited Edition

    Hi,
    I thought you may appreciate a couple of photos of easily the best and most accurate air rifle I have ever owned and shot.
    I have owned and shot many during my happy years of shooting at PARC.

    THE DAYSTATE GREYSHADOW number 8/150

    A Limited Edition of only 150 exist 100x177 & 50x22
    They were built following on from the reputation and equally rare Daystate Timbre Wolf.
    I only know of/seen/shot one Grey Shadow and one Timbre Wolf. both at Pontefract Air Rifle Club.

    If you ever get the opportunity to try either of these incredible rifles, you will be searching trying to track one down. Good Luck !

    Is there any issues with capacitors ageing or boards having age related dry joints?

    Many thanks. iain

    I've heard of a few now, but most are 20 years+ old - so probably better than a lot of regged rifles TBH

    Before I retired last year, I was gunsmithing for a local RFD for about 4 years. In that time I have replaced 3 x MK3 boards. The MK3 boards were then still available from Daystate but unsure if they are now.
