Something like a hair drier/hot air gun rather than a blow torch, equally a few hours in a freezer might work to break any sealant, the thread in...

I can see why the bb barrel is rare, looks like you had to buy it separately? And why would you go to the trouble, just a poor performer next to the...

Thank you Chris. Dare I ask which AA silencer you used as I note that AA seem to do several and it is not clear which one is recommended for the...

Phil, I used an hft5 for BR and used silencers, after so many test sessions and different silencers we ( myself and another guy with an hft5) found...

Cheers mate

When I done a normal 400cc buddy bottle I wrapped it in a motorcycle inner tube and in a vice, Then undo with the spanner adapter tool. Mine had...

Once again, thanks for suggestions. I check each one out. The Titch is recommended for a shrouded barrel and does not appear to work as well without...

Never mind being 12-14, I'd love one now and would be happy to pay for my own present! John

I had not realised that the BB barrels were rare. I bought this boxed 803 from the USA quite a few years ago, in the happy days when buying...

Well i hope everyone recovers well in time for the Bash I may have some tat to sell!

Hope it's improving by now Tony. Sounds highly unpleasant, hope you are doing better than Tony is Dave. Spent 6 hours in A&E yesterday...

Heat mate? On a carbon? Please enlighten me

Heat may be your friend.

Did you get the BB barrel too? The BB barrels are pretty rare Larry Hannush had 177 & 22 barrels for sale at the Ohio show but not BBs.

I always keep loctite and super glue in the fridge. A habit from when working in the labs.

Thanks for the advice, guys. Transferred the cocking lever from triggerless donor rifle.. I now have a working example. :cool:

Can you image the joy of being a 12-14 year old kid back in the day getting one for Christmas or a Birthday. Two barrels pellets and darts, I'd have...

Not your blue head I hope mate :oldeek::oldgrin:

I have never had any problems with Loctite 243 or 242 going off before the parts were fully assembled. It is the exclusion of air that causes it to...

that's a realy good point; I forgot about the slant, as I machined it off a while ago !

agreed...

on an HC, there is a removable plastic plenum. Only the full length rifle has the plastic baffles.

Contact AA explain the RFD is Miles away & ask to post it direct to them, they might even collect it, I certainly wouldn't invalidate the warranty...

I've also got an A&M I think it's a 'twink' (170 x 38mm) especially made for my FAC Rapid, nowhere near as good as a bog std HW, in fact I consider...

Mick (T 20) if you see this, could you please put 'Time Warp airgun collector' under Steve's name? :oldgrin:

I've been thinking about doing just that to machine the piston seal groove on HW barrels. But Diana barrels have shallow grooves for O-rings, and...
