All Hatsan's in .25 seem to like Marksman pellets, you can pick the 10 worst in the tin & still get a good group, so not all budget pellets are crap....

I suppose when you think about it, its like finding a decent non lead pellet, same problem as lead, matching up pellet to gun.

RWS pellets are crap in all of my rifles with the exception of my old Webley Vulcan. My Falcon Prairie .22 hates anything made by JSB but loves H&Ns....

Piston head very soft, possibly just mild steel --- piston skirt a little harder but still machinable with HSS cutters. I've machined quite a few...

This is what I've got so far. Tube is fitted and holding air great, this is the new LW barrel for it but will be going away for machining next week....

Jerry has pretty much nailed it and I'd have to agree with everything he said, to start with a Big Nikko is probably a very sensible way to go, you...

Not sure about some of this, the only one I'd chuck my hat in the rig with a value for is the TX, and if standard say £300ish Postage wise your...

Nice little set that Peter. What a lovely gesture. John

The 80's "power craze" where lighter fluid down the transfer port was le rigour :oldeek: But so was sniffing glue.:oldeek::oldeek: Farmyard is...

A collector friend of mine had a venom 35 from 1983. It was doing a comfortable 14.6 ft lbs before he took a few coils off the spring to bring it...

I think it's pretty fair to say that, back in the 70s / very early 80s, some may not have performed as some hoped. But mainly as regards power. This...

Superdome. I was actually a tester for RWS for a while and thought relevant insider info useful if you didn't know and was asking! Looks like I was...
