The Boinger Bash Lounge

[NickG]

Hi Chaps, hoping everyone is well and healthy, the HW80 from the Norfolk bash is a 23mm diameter piston to see how far I could take things , having shot it next to Jon Buds 24mm one , future ones will be 24mm as the materials are more readily available and the extra work isn't worth the small gain . Its now all finished, re blacked and sitting in a Warren Edwards tyrolean stock.

Hi Nick,

Fantastic to see you in the Boingery Lounge and I hope you are keeping well too.

Excellent information there. It would be lovely to witness this fine beast one day.

How's that beautiful aluminium rifle of yours doing? Any more development in recent times or did you leave as was?

I use the ally gun for field target now (it's in a laminate stock) I now have a synthetic piston ring in it, and an even softer spring. Hopefully we can all meet up in the foreseeable future, and you can shoot them .

Everything I have heard about your synthetic piston rings sounds very impressive, Nick; very well done.

It'll be fantastic once we finally get on top of this horrible situation and get back to some sort of normality. And being able to see you and all the other wonderful Boingerpeeps and try some of your wonderful toys is one of the things that I'll most look forward to.

Roll on The Boing!

[TonyL]

And the very best of fortunes to all Boingerpeeps in BBS land and beyond.

BOING!

[Paul SE]

Evening all,

I had a busy weekend with working in the garden and didn’t get time for a BOING

So to make up for lost shooting, I had a Boing with my fettled .177 HW45 with some H&N Excite Plinking pellets. These are good value at £2.99 a pot from
our sponsor but unfortunately they are out of stock at the moment

The H&N Excite Econ wadcutters are worth a go at the same price and are in stock

Anyhow, the pellets I used were a good consistent fit in the breech and offer good enough accuracy for pistol plinking, with plenty of clang and clatter on the metal spinners in my loft range

BOING

Sounds like fun, Paul.

Yep, I noticed the "Plinking" line on the JSR site and will give them a go. I do have some of the Excite .22 Hammers and they seem very good and excellent value.
