    The GAT

    Did the GAT ever get produced in .22 ?

    My searches suggest not

    So why do I have several waxed packets of.22 GAT branded darts in my odd bits box ?

    Hi. Probably because the darts manufacturing parent company made - and sold - darts badged GAT as sepparates for use with the multitude of .22 air guns available at that time (I personally remember buying a couple of packs of .22 darts for use with my Meteor circa 1973). Hope this helps? Atb: GWB.

    Its the info that confused as it states " for your Gat airpistol"

    Any way another 30 min or so I should have a spares box hurricane in .22 ready to see what they do ( isolation and boardom combined )

    Was always told not to use darts in anything but a smoothbore - just saying.

    That is an interesting rear sight - honestly aint seen one like that before, is it a red dot ?

    Forgive my ignorance, but I'm intrigued. I've got a standard Webley pistol 'scope, but that's a new one on me.

    Yup a very simple red dot

    Need to keep an eye out for a rear sight , the scope base makes it a bit long

    Cheers for that - everydays a school day, as they say.

    Ps I know the Hurri sight was based on the Hawk rifle one, don't know if that might fit.
