Autumn Bash 17th and 18th September 2022

[look no hands]

As I gather from the thread you've just started, Pete.. Be nice if the piston you seek exists in another Gamo model to give you both your stroke reduction and the spring room you seek. If not, to be fair, I think I'd be quite happy with either of the other routes......your existing set-up with reduced stroke and a little less spring room or even the longer, standard stroke, albeit with, maybe, a "lazier" feel.....I wonder if there'd be a slightly longer and softer spring out there that would help?

I have been keeping an eye out for smaller wire springs, the only ones I've seen so far are at Protek (2.5mm but not overly large but is about £12) and at Custom Air Seals in Oz but he wants about £25 for one, also there was some on the bay of evil from China but I think Mark (Capital bee) said he'd tried them but wasn't overly impressed with them, I will ask at Knibbs today if they do any springs under 3mm thick.

Might even make the next one if I can stand long enough (diabetic complications)

I hope all goes well for you, Jonathan, and that you're able to join us again.

BOING!

[TonyL]

Up the page but without a Boing today due to the very sad news of the passing of Ian Jones. Such a loss to the airgun community and one of our greats gone. He made his mark at one of the Bashes at Mick's once, as I'm sure he will have lit up any event he attended / organised. Rest in peace, Ian.

[TonyL]

Muted boing.

How are we doing, BoingyPeeps?

Well I'm laid in bed enjoying a early long weekend Broke a toe yesterday, so painful to put on work boots.

How did you go and do that ?

How did you go and do that ?

Bare foot round the house, in a rush, stubbed my little toe on the lounge door. Went out for the afternoon around Whitby, came home took boot off, toe black and very swollen. Went to the hospital , they thought it was dislocated , after tugging it around and X rays, they decided it was broken.

Doesn't sound like fun... fortunately you can still shoot

Get well soon Dave!

A good man would put his flip flops on and go to work.

Ouch! I’m pretty sure I broke mine a month or so ago, stubbed it on the bed leg, boy ! Did I holler. Black and swollen for a couple of weeks and quite debilitating for while. Being a well ‘ard Cockney, I never went hospital

Ouch! So, maybe dislocated to start with but they broke it after tugging it about? Try to make the most of your extended little "break" and I hope you're feeling better very quickly.
