Hi Neil,
If you don't mind, would it be possible for you to bring your Red Ryder along, please? I've never seen one "in the flesh" and have often teased myself with one for some short range back garden plinking.

Good morning Boingerati !
Only three days on the hamster wheel & then bash time
Took the model 50 to the range yesterday, it's a bit harder to cock than my HW97 but still only making around 6 ft/lbs despite feeling like it's way over 12, I'm wondering if the synthetic seal isn't sealing
Worse than that it will not zero, it's grouping well, very well but 4 or so inches to the right & down from the bull. No amount of adjustment of the sights will correct this, I even took the front sight off & put it on the other way around. I did re-blue the front of the barrel & I'm wondering if it's in need of a crown polish, ie there's a bit of bluing causing this
The HW 45 I bought off Nick is feeling sublime with the TBT kit & Aussie seal installed, and now has a red dot that my eyes can cope with.![]()
I'll smuggle the red rider in so no one sees it Tony, it'll be our secret.
I'll bring the 880 as well.
Repariere nicht, was nicht kaputtist.

If I make the next one I'll bring mine too, hopefully on the 4th I'll be ordering it a Carbon shot tube and custom Lever so it'll be an example of what a fully modded one is like, I still have a spare fibre sight in my spares just sans fibre as I had to pinch it to sort the Cobra but I'm not entirely sure I'll get another Daisy that can use it (as it doesn't fit a 25, just the 1938b Red Ryder family) as if I can get a Christmas Wish in it'll be staying outwardly stock.

Maybe September, it's just healths not been reliable enough so I could go through all the undertaking to get there for things to play up and leave me unable to enjoy it atleast coast wise its a Bugalow I'm in that hasn't got a restriction on me being there at certain times or needing to check out (Family owns it) so can work around things if I get trouble and Old Mans the transport for it so not go to worry about carrying kit if I'm struggling.
While it does mean I miss out on the Sales table I can always get into Yarmouth and mooch whats there, just maybe arrange to pick up later if buying a Gun so I'm not walking around the Piers or Pleasure Beach with it.
