Older and Grumpier

[ggggr]

Well, for what it’s worth I’ve found your ‘idiots guides’ extremely helpful for getting many of the rifles and pistols in my collection serviced and shooting at their best.

I’m sure for every annoying P.M’er who wants to be walked through every step of an airguns servicing there are dozens who quietly refer to your guides for instruction.

Muchos appreciatos,
Matt

Thanks Matt. Much appreciated. I think it is the typing out and trying to make sure the reply is clear enough and doesn't contain errors that is long and wearing.

Time to start your YouTube channel. Grumpy presenters are often the best .. the cranky car mechanics are the best & funniest.

First episode ‘My gun won’t cock’

tinbum has a airgun tuning channel, you can do a plinking & tinkering channel ..

Well as I am a computer dunce and hate a lot of techy things, I cannot see that happening.
Can you imagine if IJ had done a Webley pistol one?

Over the years we have seen the posts on here about "my gun isn't cocking" and people are almost shouting "It's coil bound!!!" . The posts and posters that I find really annoying are the ones who don't listen and then go through the taking a bit off the cylinder end plug or the piston and various other things before somehow the gun might eventually cock.

On a different note, I think people miss out by Pm-ing or emailing rather than talking. The information I have come across and the guns I have got as something has cropped up in casual conversation is pretty interesting.

Looking at the guns i have come across in my years of shooting, talk about my gun don't cock, the damage done by tinkering using club hammers, chisel screw drivers either masonry or wood, bench vice jaw marks all over the place and parts replaced with scrap bits from the junk box and wood screws used as machine screw plus burred off screw slots, and fence presevative wood finishes plus pure neglect by not giving the gun a wipe over with oil or putting the gun away wet etc, no wonder my gun don't cock let alone anything come out of the end.
