Well there's one that spent a year in an outshed, rust bloom aplenty, firing at a weary 6fpe here if you fancy a poke at it!

On the CD front - I'd have one

Hi Phil... Your 'Phil does a Strip' articles are my favorite articles to read in Airgun World. I would hate to see them stop coming !

Thank you for doing one article on the Webley Eclipse; nothing broken about my Eclipse, but I plan to open 'er up and re-lube some day.

As mentioned by others, an article on the Whiscombe air rifles would be spectactular even for those not owning a whizzer! Hell, I think Airgun World ought to dedicate a whole issue to it, especially as it seems John Whiscombe is planning on retiring very soon... kind of a historical biography on the man and this amazing spring-piston air rifles.

At some point many of us whizzer owners may have to know how to do some maintenance (may be many years from now, but still may have to!).

How about a strip on the Sterling... I acquired an HR81 a few years ago (excellent condition), so I'm interested on details on stripping and relubing.

Don't ever quit doing 'strip' articles !

Thanks !

I'd have a disc, if you manage to get the project off the ground.

A twist on the 'Stripper' series: how about a series on the professional modifiers/customisers and gun builders? Not the biggies, but the small outfits who do specialised work.

Their workshops, contacts, how they got started, their favourites/nightmares, current work - stuff like that. Saddo enginnering types would love it, they would get a bit of publicity and the shooters would get to know who's who and where, and what they can do.

You could always start off with the (Oh) 'God of Stockmaking'

Hey Phil, you still reading these posts ?

Just read your 'Bulmer does a SLIP' article on lubricants and degreasers... very interesting...

The only item I recognized from this side of the pond is 'WD40' and 'GUNK". I don't use WD40 on my guns, preferring RemOil instead.

I get my moly and spring tars from Jim Maccari... they work great!

Keep them articles coming!

PS... Whiscombe and Sterling HR81/HR83 strips ! Do it !

I would definitely buy a disk as well

I will have one disc, and if you kept any notes on the crosman 622 repair it would be helpful to. Add to list strip on walther LP2.

Phil, don't know if you've covered a general springer/pcp maintenance spread before, but that's what I'd be interested to read about as opposed to a model specific one.

Amen to that one Dave I'm also a bit hit and miss on the lube business. With PCPs a mistake could cause serious damage. I wish manufacturers would treat all purchasers as novices and issue a comprehensive set of instructions for care and maintenance. Then again that would destroy the raison d'etre for Phils wonderfull articles

Phil - don't know if you're still following this post but I'd also love to see a strip of the Sharp Innova.

Mine's puffing and wheezing and only doing 350fps in .22 with 8 pumps!

There's thousands of these still about and not much info available.

Thanks for the Tracker strip and gasram conversion - i'm at it now!

Cheers

How about persuading the nice folk at Romsey to put all the files together, PDF them all and sell a CD with all the articles for twenty quid a go through the mag.

Then you can donate the profits to the BASC and with a little luck we'll still have guns to tinker with next year.

Richard

this gets my vote for sure.

[hip shooter]

How about a yearly mag that covers all the diy stuff covered in that year.
I say carry on with it as theres always new guns on the market nowdays.
good work by the way

How's about a monthly re issue on the board.

How about stripping different silencers for cleaning, i find all the different silencer designs very interesting. I'd also be interested in a disc.
