Thank you for all the really helpful advice

just one more question if I may --

between these 2 the Bam B19 / Remington tyrant variants AND the Hammerli 800 / TH208 / Diana 34 variants which is a better buy as a budget springer I can fine tune my self..

If you're after a 19, I have one I'm thinking about letting go...

Not a springer, but:

I finally got around to working on Mrs Bum's Gunpower edge today. Its a budget 10m target rifle based around the Stealth, and I can tell you its an awful lot better than that sounds! I had it at the badge and it performed very well.

Thus far I had fitted baffles and ting to quieten the thing down for garden use, but one thing that was a worry was the hammer, as the cap'n pointed out, its steel and runs in an aluminium tube! Every time I shot it I had a mental image of bits of swarf building up inside.

Today it came apart, I cut some grooves into it, made some suitable rings, glued them in place and turned them down to fit the tube. It now moves very smoothly up and down with no hint of the graunchy feel you got with steel againt ally.

Consistency is still excellent and power is only fractionally down. The next project is the reg, see If I can't get more out of the little red beastie!

Another one for the "to do" list!

Haven't been on the UKCAF for a while to be honest, nit since the change of layout. I spend more time here now, as my collection has grown to include more random stuff. Still live my Chinese guns though, although the 19 isn't quirky enough for me! How are things with you?
