Spring Bash 20th and 21st May 2023

[look no hands]

Can understand the motivation behind getting some of that work done yourself, Pete.. I can also understand why you (and very possibly so many more of us) probably display more of a passion for what we might perceive as more characterful English rifles. With many of the German ones it will be the efficiency / accuracy / triggers that tend to win us over. Although many knock them for various reasons, I'd still love a Tracker, one day........

Like I've said Tone, the poor old Walther hasn't had the attention it deserves, I've not had loads of time or the inside space to work on it, so have been reliant on the weather, also I think because to make it into a LGV requires a 25mm cylinder sleeve fitting (it will hopefully be 24mm when I finally get it to Nick) as I can't do that sort of work, I'm relying on Nick to do it, had Iit of been a simple case of dropping in a kit and also not needing a reblue, then I would have spent more time on it, I found out my polishing gear yesterday but ibig grey cloud has just rolled over and I think that may put the kibosh on the polishing today

Excellent. Sounds like fun.. Shooting to point of aim now?

Getting closer. Going to fine tune in the garden this week

Hi Tony
I wasn’t planning on getting anymore guns anytime soon (yeah right) but a recently refurbished Tracker came my way.from a fellow member of my new Hft club (MAD),I’ve been after one for ages .
I will be putting a 4x40 gloss Tasco on it when I have some suitable mounts.

Understood, Pete. And it is going to be lovely once converted.

It’s dieseling a little at the moment, I will put a few more pellets through it and see how she goes.
I will bring it with me for the Bash 👍.

Maybe I should have thought about that first
