Paul
I am the only one with a key to the bloody house!
The collection stands at 9 at present
As you know I only keep what I shoot plus one pcp
I need to get the Evolution up and running soon to see if the back issues are going to let me enjoy shooting hammers. All the lifting has taken a toll but hopefully it will start easing now

[Waddy]

I hope that fulcrum part turns up for you, Paul.

Top advice re the shed and garage.......If only I had the bottle to accomplish the task!

Still haven't found the fulcrum, if I'd read the manual I found online yesterday I most likely wouldn't have lost it, as there is a pointer to look out for it when stripping the pistol I stripped the pistol on a workbench over a wooden floor, I think I'd have heard anything falling off. Even looked in the washing machine in case it had ended up in the pocket of my hoodie. Ah well.

Funny how you have the exact opposite situation to Tony, a whole house to fill with your own gear but a tidy selected collection. Moving really does take it's toll physically, I had a double whammy moving into our current house because they had left almost everything, and I had to shift all that too, seven LWB traffics worth of it

Is that a Theoben Evolution ? I'd love to see that if it is

It is the Evolution that broke atthe last bash
I have a new cocking shoe to fit in it

Hope your symptoms ease soon, Pete.

Wow! That last move sounded horrible, Paul.

I do hope that naughty part comes out of hiding. If not, as you've said, you can get a replacement, but it will just slow the job up.

[TonyL]

30 to go, peeps.


BOING!

[TonyL]

Just banded the "natty" up. Can't wait to try it out tomorrow!

Sweet, should be a fairly straight forward job , but I imagine you have you hands full atm what with the new house.

I wonder if there was a Theoben gremlin there, because my Sirocco stopped working suddenly there too.

It was truly horrible, it's a very long story too. I rang Protek & ordered a replacement fulcrum, under a tenner inc post, not worth the stress for that kind of money.

Shame its not simple to post pics on here. Keep us posted on how you get on with it.

Just gone in the garage to blue some fixings for the 35 that had a spot of rust on, and instantly spotted the bloody missing link fulcrum sitting on the edge of the socket set box.


Just about typical for today. Stiff brandy time.

Well done on the find Paul. Had you ordered a new one?

Brandy is a cure for everything

I've never seen you with a brandy in your hand Paul.

Just ordered another one at lunchtime

Brandy is a magic uncture for the soul

I've never seen you with a brandy in your hand Paul.

Nobody ever does, it's stashed in the garage

Too strong for the bash, I couldn't drink it for hours or I'd be face down in the hedge bottom

[NewPaul]

You’ve gotta be quick to see it in my hand Gary !

Oh well, you’ve got a spare you’ll never need now I guess.

Someone will need one at some point, probably


At least the Tempest is now fully functioning & is making twice as much power as before.......3 Ft/lbs Maybe the seal will bed in a bit, anyway at least it's enough for whacking cans at 10 metres
