    I'll admit I did laugh a lot more than I should have at that

    Have you thought about getting it JB Blueprinted instead _ ?
    He could fit a longer air tube if you want a bigger sweet spot. Long term less to go wrong 'reg free'
    I favour simple, and I favour JB for BSA's - very down to earth guy and very genuine love of shooting / air guns - especially the one's he designed like the Ultra !
    Looking for TO-6 Trigger unit unmessed with or T0-6 kit for 34

    To be honest I hadn’t thought of getting it blueprinted

    Never heard that one. .


    still lying to customers to this day. The fact he admits to doing makes it worse.

    he has no morals,

    I don’t know about Airtech but I would recommend John Bowkett. I bought one of the earliest R10s and it had many problems. After it was returned from BSA for the second time, still with many of the original problems, I sent it to him to sort out. He turned it into a very nice, accurate rifle. It’s a pity that XTX isn’t still going because he was very good too.

    There's also the Tench Regulator, by Simon Howarth.

    I have a regulated Ultra that I bought from him several years ago that I've been very satisfied with.

    I believe he now works with the Rat Works tuning service.

    They have a website and Facebook page.

    Funny I met her today and she is about as Chinese as you can get. His Chinese father in law died as result of an escalator accident in China and Carl did attend his funeral as he did also his mother in laws who died in a care home. His home and workshop were raided and it took some time to get everything back. The assumptions and tittle tattle are nothing short of scandalous but I suspect you know that by now and some of you should be feeling ashamed by now. I know my engineering and this guy is a master of his art. No he's not quick, to that I can testify but he is the best and not just by a little bit and far better than the other name some of you bandy about. I saw a fair bit of his work being rectified today and quite frankly I was shocked. Believe what you want but I can assure you his wife is Chinese as we're both hid LATE in-laws..

    Crikey, even posts about him take ages to be published.

    Spoke to his wife on the phone...definitely Chinese,...Spoke to Karl as well, no problems with communication with a fast turnaround when he serviced and setup my bsa superten by post a total of 5 days from sending and receiving it back, I also was very happy with the work he done making my gun a pleasure to shoot. Maybe I was just lucky 😁

    Without a doubt imo the best in the business...
    I think you’ll find a lot of people jump on the bandwagon and slate him ,without having had any contact with him....
