The Norfolk bash

[CapitalBee]

Strange you should mention that one, Gav. :-

I got bored cleaning my workshop up today so I got the old girl out and ran a few shots over the Chrono.
When I built her the power was up and down like a fiddler's elbow using Superdomes so I've been feeding her with FTTs ever since.
Today I ran her over the Chrono using Superdomes and Hobbies --- both gave less than a 5fps variation.
I really ought to refinish the stock on her and call her done but I now have another old girl on the workbench for a makeover. :-

All the best Mick

Look forward to seeing some end results on the latest project on the bench.



It's not that one is it?

Excellent stuff, Mick, and great to hear you awarded yourself a little hard-earned playtime. I wonder if the velocity fluctuations post build may have been down to the old lass just enjoying an extended breaking in session? Was it a new seal?

I could play all day, Tone, it wouldn't matter much, but I like to feel I've done something productive at the end of each day.

I think I used a secondhand seal in the rotating 35 but I can't remember, the 13" barrel came from CapitolBee a couple of years before I built the gun, so the change in it's pellet preference could either be down to bedding in or the barrel leading back in.

As for the new gun on the bench, I must thank CapitolBee for sending me this link :-

So, a nice little wallynut frock for your little bearded one, Mick?

[TonyL]

New avatar, Uncle Mick?

New avatar, Uncle Mick?

Yes, Tone.

I changed my avatar in order to welcome the huge number of holidaying AGF members to "The Dark Side".

[Captain Bongo]

Yes, Tone.

Steady Tiger, don't get yourself excited Steve

Now if there were pig tails protruding out the bottom

I never thought your helmet would look so smooth.

Shirl buffs it up for me, Steve.

[TonyL]

Yes, Tone.

Ah, I rarely, if ever, venture over, Mick, so was unaware of any goings-on. Nice gesture.

That dome and "shoulder guards" could almost be styled on a pellet......the head like an old H&N Silhouette.

I go over there to read what Kernel Gadaffi's/Hopalong's latest life tragedy is and to see if he's still stalking his ex, Kim.

He has been quiet of late.

[T 20]

He has been quiet of late.

He's probably up a ladder mending the roof on Kim's porch.
