Which field is the next Bash being held in please?

I have only been to the two by the pond.

I've not seen Gav posting on here for a while.
Are you going to be making an appearance my friend?

Excellent stuff, Mark. I bet that Hatsan ends up being very nice by the time you've finished your tinkering.

I will, of course, look forward with great interest to the AM03 updates and your preferred tuning route.

Well, I got the cylinder back from the youngest son yesterday evening, minus the tamperproof grubscrew that was choking the tp. So, decided on a 3mm tp change. Cut some 4mm o/d tube and after an acetone wash of both parts, I bonded it in place. I left a little of the brass tube proud of the breech face and using a needle file dressed it flush to the original face. So, all back together and post dieseling it's doing a healthy 11.8ft/lbs with 1.4gn pellets. Cycle has improved and I've added the backdraft moderator, which has quietened things down a bit. I've fitted a hefty 2.5-10x32 scope and am just experimenting with pellets (just about to continue with some FAP's). Overall, very happy with the outcome. I'll bring it to the bash for perusal.

Easily done, Melv.

We were in a field in a similar-ish location a couple of years ago, methinks. I haven't studied the exact location yet but it'll be easy enough to find.

Can't wait!

I haven't seen him on for a while either, Gary. Can't remember if he's struggling with access issues also?

I'll get a message to him and find out.

Really hope he will be joining us.

Get yer skates on, Tom!

I know you'll be fine.

I thought I was pretty much sorted. I'll definitely bring the little '50. I was going to bring the recently fettled '35, but that will now depend on whether I can get some more tinkering time in - I've only got two days off now prior to The Bash and other things going off too. If I don't manage to get the '35 re-fettled in time, I'll get another one picked out and checked over.
