    Hi Gary.

    I was just trying to be honest on the phone about the AR10, as you say I might have a duff one.

    However when you see it in Feb 1st, you'll know what I mean, then if you like you can borrow it for aslong as you want.

    I've done a Picture with some pointers >>HERE<<

    When we used the AR10 I would cock & load it for my son as it was quite difficult for him especially with the opening breach.

    Regards
    Paddy.

    Yo Pad cheers mate . Had some good input from other members. Looks like one of the smaller Weihrauchs sounds just the ticket. Will take scopes, have excellent Teutonic build quality, safety catches etc. The weight is not excessive and the prices new are reasonable. My son Adam being 11 liked the military look to the AR10 but as I was at pains to explain to him theres more to a decent air rifle than the looks. But he's looking foreward to trying your example buddy and really chuffed at your offer of a cammo paint job , cheers buddy.

    I know what you mean about looks goes along way, if you do get him a traditional style air-rifle & he likes the military looks Show >>THIS<< or >>THIS<<

    Hi Bob.

    It is actually a nylon cylinder that I got from my old work place. I bored it out to it could fit the barrel. So it would 'look' like a centre fie mod

    My vote would also be for the HW 30s, (as previously suggested by BBS member Andrew Richards), with the Rekord trigger, weighs 6lbs, produces 7ft/lbs and feels like a tuned gun out of the box has very little recoil and subsequently is extremely accurate. My son is 10 and when he could be bothered to shoot can load it himself and hits knock down targets at 30 yards.

    I shoot it occasionaly and it always impresses. From memory you can special order them from your local HW dealer just takes two or three weeks at least it did last time I bought one.
