Bash dates 2025

[craig.l]

The location is usually Melton Mowbray but Neil needs to confirm the exact location for the May Bash if it goes ahead. We’ve had roof tent campers before so you’ll be fine.

Oh near Leicestershire only a few hours that would be perfect I’ll keep my eyes peeled

Sorry for the delay, mate - my early finish was thwarted by a last minute job in Oxford.
Piston attached:

Bloody hell that looks good


I had thought it was going to be in plastic.

Thank you for, once again, coming to the assist, Craigy; very much appreciated.

I got another Rekord trigger today courtesy of the chap I got the action off, it might work with that , if not I might add a bit of weld to the piston latch & re-profile it.

I only went and left the new trigger at work, haven't been able to stop thinking about this nice .177 HW100 I've seen, full length with a thumbhole stock


.

I do hope that things work out well with the trigger / latching, Paul.

HW100, eh? Now that should be a little tack driver! Sounds like you might be more than a little bit tempted?

Welcome aboard, Craig. Be great to get to meet you.

Have a quick look at this. It's the opening post from last year's Autumn Bash, giving more information:-

I have got permission to use a field for the purposes of holding a bash.

Just a field with two portaloos. Water in bottles again. I can do a water run for those with big jugs or water carriers.

For those who have not been before, search Carrier Landscapes. The field is opposite their main entrance.

Event and Payment Details.

7th and 8th September 2024 Boinger Bash

This will just be a weekend of chatting about guns, shooting, eating, drinking and getting to meet folks.


THE PRICE


£25 including camping over the full weekend (3 nights or more if required)

£12.50 for just the one day attendance.


Part of this payment is for me to insure on the field so that folks without their own shooting insurance can attend.



THE VENUE


Quigley Bottom Shooting Club
Station Road
Upper Broughton
Melton Mowbray
Leicestershire
LE14 3BQ




HOW IT WORKS

I will not be organising a licensed bar on site but as your cars will be accessible inside the site I suggest you bring your own.

There will be a kettle with tea and coffee. No BBQ at this time.

There is no running water. A water run will be arranged for lunch time (ish).

There is no rubbish disposal. Please sort your waste into burnable, aluminium cans to go to charity and glass. It is hoped you can take some glass home with you.





For a precise destination please google Carrier Landscapes. The gate entrance is 50m down the road opposite Carrier Landscapes

As Pauly says, pretty soon our fine hosts, Neil and Tina, will be starting off the thread for this May's Bash, once the precise location has been confirmed.

Then it'll be all Boingery systems go!

Thank you, Paul.

I did warn you that it was cute, didn't I?

Really giddy about getting it back, putting it back together and having a play!

[TonyL]

87 to go, peeps.

BOING!

Sounds good I’ll be keeping my eyes peeled that’s for sure

Very tempted but I can't really afford it, I'm hoping someones bought it. But not really cos I want it

Thank you, Paul.

It's very nicely done, hope it works really well.

It's a fantastic day / weekend (whatever you want to make it).

As Paul pointed out earlier, it's all very informal. As long as you're safe and your guns conform to the limits, it's anything goes, really. Lots and lots of targets at different ranges so you can really test your guns and yourself to the extreme. Or plink away at short range with low power pistols. See & try many different guns, some of which you may never have seen before. And there are always some rare, one-offs, collectables and finely tuned guns. Talk guns, shooting, pellets, accessories etc.,.......anything you like really. Eat, drink, sleep, chill, be happy. The day / weekend is whatever you want to make it.

And I guarantee you'll leave feeling very happy that you came along, vowing to visit again and having met fantastic, genuine people, many who have forged such strong friendships through meeting at The Boinger Bash.

Know where you're coming from with the 100.

Yep; itching to try the '35 once those lovely parts are back.

Any progress with the '35 tinkering, Paul?

Any progress with the '35 tinkering, Paul?

Only had ten minutes or so, I put the sear with the best profile in the trigger and it's holding the piston, but it won't fire & the safety is sticking. It's either an idiot mistake ( not hard for me ) or it's the wrong type of safety or sumat.

Next thing is to try it with the safety out.

I rang the range yesterday & put a deposit down on the 100. It's been on my list for ages & this one is cheap & in very good condition. I think they'll have taken it in part exchange & want to move it on.


When is your 35 going back together Tony ?
