    Hi Steve and a very warm welcome.

    Old school and into springers, eh? Good man

    Don't know if you're already aware, but you'll have Brian Samson's superb range local to you. Once things open up, anyways.

    And keep your eyes peeled for the possibility of a Boinger Bash meet at some point when things are safer and "normal". I'm sure that'd be right up your street.

    What boingers do you have and which branches of the sport / hobby do you enjoy?

    Oh dear, Do you really want to do this? You can only expect hours agonising over the boings and pings of airgun ownership as well as the mind boggling topics of spring compressors, special lubes, spring guides, top hats, power washers, transfer port (TP) restrictors and sleeves to say nothing of beer can piston sleeves. And if you lean the other way then sweet spots, filler probes, and pumps and air cylinders will soon become second nature. All tempered by odd discussions of hamsters and butt pads (adjustable of course) coupled with cheek risers, again adjustable. But beware, it is all tremendous fun and can become addictive as you strive for that perfect rifle to blend seamlessly with you.
    Nah, enough of that .... welcome to a mine of information and the hope that it all helps you fulfil your airgun shooting dreams.

    Cheers, Phil

    Nothing wrong with being of sinister persuasion, Steve.

    That SE90 may be a little tricky to track down, but with asking about on here and the magic of the BBS, you never know...... Would love a Khamsin one day.
