    It was my great pleasure too Tony, inspired by Nick, and I'm very happy to be associated with the other 'Boinger Boys'. Just wish someone had told me about air-gunning when I was 15 instead of 75.

    What a lovely gesture - and a brilliant wind up too! Well done to all involved.
    And a very happy birthday to you Tony.

    All the best - Craig

    (I'm 76 and three-quarters now Tone)...vain bar-steward that I am, I wasn't at all offended by your "The Magnificent Seven" accolade. It really fits.... just look how Trumpetier's suave muscular charm makes some guys jealous.... and the Boinger ladies have christened Chris "The Better Bruce".

    OK, I'll get my coat.

    Phew thank gawd it's out!

    Good eggs one and all, truly nice to have such mates.

    Was watching the thread to see if the trail was hot or cold, had to package in a non descript way, no comms or give away clues

    Nice one!

    Cheers all

    Blimey, the passage of time has been kind to you, Gwyn.

    Must glean a few secrets from you.

    The Boinger Boys are COOOOOLLL as!

    As regards your later entrance, quality over quantity, matey. And you're in the very best company.

    As most will be aware, been having fun and games with trigger operation in the new, LOVELY, stock.

    We're getting there now, chaps.

    Will update later as I get the chance.

    Brembo needs her walk now. The only thing is, when I nipped out for a tab half an hour ago, a few fireworks were going off (WHY do they have to start SO early?????)....AND SHE ABSOLUTELY HATES THEM!!

    See you in a while........

    Mmm....thought I may have had a solution earlier.....NO!

    I think it's going to involve a little Dremel time.

    And T20 intervention of I don't get the chance / don't manage to sort. Thanks, Mick.

    That must be annoying Tone.

    Can you use chalk or something to find out where it might be pinching?

    Good thinking matey!

    It's going to be the bottom arm of the trigger unit against the "bridge" just forward of the trigger recess, it's got to be.

    Had thought about what I could use....plasticine, blutac or something.

    Chalk sounds like just the job.

    Now, where's those bloody 'orrible kids??

    Kiddies, nice kiddies, come to daddy.....give me some chalk.....

    Armed with this top tip and some top, top advice that I've been getting from Mick and Jim, my next opportunity will be, maybe, Sunday evening, as we have an earlier finish on Sunday; or Monday, when I have a day off booked, as it's my birthday......tinker with this little tinker and have a play with a new toy....she's got a heart of gold, but can't keep secrets.....she's gone and bought me a Walther PPK for my birthday ....and tomorrow she's making me some play dough, as a nice, soft medium to hurl those steel bb at!

    Not too bad, eh, from someone who hates guns?
    She bought me a chrono four years ago. Collected my HW40 at about the same time. Bought me a Ratty three years ago. And now, this!!

    You never know, I might even get her to have a go one day, though she's adamant that it'll never happen!

    So, a lovely synthetic stock and a PPK for my birthday......I've certainly had worse burpdays!
