Spring Bash 4th and 5th May 2024

[Neil54]

On a slightly different note; Neil, I managed to make one functional one from the two Chinese S3 pistols you kindly gave me over the weekend. Now doing 1.25 ft/lbs and 3/4" groups at 9 ft (Man cave range c-to-c). Mind you, I've quite a long reach. The other is stripped to donor parts (just debating whether to spend money on parts to resurrect it)

I have another in bits. The sears have had too much ground off trying to reduce trigger weight. You can have that one.

[Willenium]

Thanks Will.

Hope that powerhouse springer you're now in possession of does the job.

I'm very pleased with it. It's perfect for what I want it for. Many thanks for bringing it

And are you saying "the other Ray" is still a cult?

A cult he may be, but we'd not have him any other way eh

Oh yes, indeedy, all official now.

Got confirmation of the new job yesterday and resigned today, so all systems go!

Pretty soon I'll no longer be selling those Beemers. All the corporate fun police will be behind me and their silly, restrictive rules, practices and I.T systems.

I'll still be sorta in the bike job selling clothing and accessories, but in a much, much more relaxed environment.

Spookily enough, I'll be working in the same building that I worked in when I started selling bikes just over 25 years ago. And be under the wing of the same chap as I was all that time ago, too. It's almost like coming home......

Can't wait!

Congrats on the new job. Sounds like it's finally going to be the right environment for you going forward

Thank you. Maybe I could bring them back next bash to let attendees do some can bashing?

Nice one mate. Brilliant news!!!

[MikeHW45]

Cheers chaps, can't believe how many pellets & how much alcohol I went through Defo best bunch of guys you could ever meet.

Definitely a gathering thats not good for the liver!!! But......once youve been to one its extremely tempting to attend more. Good to meet you

[Segata]

It'd take blind drunk to a whole new level.

[gtfreight]

I didn't know you was looking for a change in jobs Tony. I hope you enjoy it.
I used to deliver tyres to a motorbike accessory shop just off j35 of the M1 in the late 80's.

[TonyL]

He’s not a cult mate, he’s THE cult 😎

[TonyL]

Thank you for all those kind words, peeps.

[TonyL]

Just one though…….

I’ve made it as far as the new forest, but I’m knackered so have found a spot to stop for the night. A few hours kip should see me right for tomorrow. I’m glad I have my performance tyres on, as Neil won’t be there to pull me off in the morning.

Thank you Neil and Tina for another great event, see you soon.

Congrats Tony, sounds like a job you can enjoy for a change.


Boing!

Guessing you're well and truly safely home now then, Nick?

Great to see you once again; twice on the bounce, eh?

And thank you for those little prezzies......I'm sure those nice little top hats will come in useful at some point. And I didn't spot the little pots of BumSlide until later on the Sunday, so grabbed a couple of those also.

[TonyL]

Can someone confirm the date for the August Bash so I can book the day off work please.




.

August third and fourth mate

As Baldinio Chris says above - 3/4 August. I’m glad you’re making a return and I’m guessing like the majority of us, we’ve continually returned since our first visit. Addictive innit !! You couldn’t ask for a better bunch of good people.

Signature now updated, peeps.

Just seen on another forum that a club (not the one I am a member of but near me) is holding a spring rifle comp
Great I hear you all cry

They are calling it the Boinger Bash

Either we sue them for Trade Mark abuse or.....
We send Bongo

Drunk or sober?

Actually Neil, as I have the sear out of the second pistol, would you like me to send you the sears and piston (and any other bits you might need?).

The one was a bit of a swine to dis-assemble. The retainer screw on the breech block was absolutely solid, so I had to go Neanderthal and drill it out before I could take it apart, so even complete, it wouldn't be pretty (is any S3 pretty?)

Steve does sober?
