    Just gone through my dwindling number of airguns, the only one left to rehome is the "problem child" Parker Hale Dragon.

    Oh, and plenty of empty gun cases....

    Tempting, as I have a spare action, Nick, but my airgun tinkering future is still a bit uncertain at present.

    It's working fine and has adjustable mounts which fixed the dovetail alignment issue. I've just never bonded with it as I never found out why it was out of line in the first place. I might leave it with you for a while anyway if I don't sell it.

    If this is a sanctioned activity at the next bash, count me in!

    There are two lighter Jumbo JSBs out there in'it, Rhys, with the RS being lighter still (13.4?). : Tough to guess from how Pete's written that post as to which one it'll be.

    Not sure how long ago, could even be a couple of years back. Mick had a large Melon on a stand at about 20yds. Great fun picking off the Wasps

    Yes, I think so Rhys, 13.5idh grains. They seem to suit the gun really well

    Not me, G.

    IIRC it was your first trip to Quigley Hollow for the first AirArms owners club meeting held here, the melons were provided and set out by Blackbaronfish.

    He also put out coconuts on strings with the idea that we shot the strings, inevitably we just shot the crap out of the coconuts instead.

    The meeting was also the first outing for NewPaul's favourite, the bird on a pole --- where is that little bugger by the way, he's been very quiet just lately ?
