Far too many rifles to list now, all mainly British but the odd pesky foreigner has snuck in
Cheers, Pete.
Panic ye not, pretty sure I'll get the bleeder off. I'm sure there's a hefty lump hammer lurking in the garage!
Yep, I'd already thought about the cocking link rubbing issues. I'll polish the slipper plate and cocking link and also the small area on the cylinder. And then it'll be treated to some 60% moly paste.
Strange that many manufacturers don't use things similar to the Gamo cocking link "stirrups" as they're cheap and seemingly work fine.
THE BOINGER BASH AT QUIGLEY HOLLOW. MAKING GREAT MEMORIES SINCE 15th JUNE, 2013.
NEXT EVENT :- August 3/4, 2024.........BOING!!
Sorry to bring the thread back on topic
accuracy test at 25 yards today with a 4x mag BSA scope... not bad with hobbies, need to find some superdomes, or large H&Ns:
Always looking for any cheap, interesting, knackered "project" guns. Thanks, JB.
I had a few shots with my S carbine today, I forgot how pleasant it is too shoot, just feels a little agricultural compared to something more modern (I nearly compared it to my Prosport, which is wrong), I think it just needs setting up properly and it would be much better than it is now, I once nearly put some small roller bearings on the under lever pivot, I have replaced the roll pin with a bit of stainless steel bar, which I feel improves things but I feel it has a bit too much lateral movement for my liking.

Thanks - yes, it's OK. Certainly adequate at that (25 yard) range.. if the fundamentals are there, it's just a bit of re-engineering with most guns
Appreciate the offer of some trial pellets, but it seems to like larger ammo - I'm sure it's a 5.6mm. Going to try defiants and domes when I next buy a batch.. but to be fair, the hobbies are fine.

I have found that RWS Superdomes work well in 5.6mm barrels. I think they have soft skirts, and like Hobbys, they open up and grip the bore neatly once they have some high pressure air up the chuff. Give them a go.
