    I'd say anything and everything tastes better at a Boinger Bash, sir.

    Tried to get treatment for it many years ago, Pete, but they wrote me off as having "Boingeratus unfixabis" and said there was no cure......looks like I'm certainly not alone in suffering from this chronic condition.

    There’s no cure for Weihrauchitis either, - it has been well chronicled that once one obtains a HW35, especially the elegant Export model with a 22” barrel, then collecting Herman’s wonderful boingers becomes an obsession

    Glad I bought a Walther then
    Far too many rifles to list now, all mainly British but the odd pesky foreigner has snuck in

    Not really Chris, it's still in bits awaiting further attention but other things have got in the way, if I'm honest mate, I don't have the same enthusiasm towards the Walther than I have had with the Viscount and BSAs recently, I do want to try and get the Walthers metalwork polished up soon but I have to find my polishing gear out the garage which is still packed away from when I moved up here, I also have to rely on nice weather as there is no room in the garage from all my stuff, it's a viscous circle and although I could get Nick to do the metalwork I want to do something to the rifle, so I can say I've done a bit towards it's work.

    Good day at the club. I bought some brass punches and with the aid of a hammer fine tuned the front sight on the standard
    Real engineering, hitting things with hammers!

    I've come up with a way of perforating steel and aluminium cans that might result from consumption of alcoholic beverages over the weekend (in the absence of running water, no other reason)

    Should make them easier to then crush and take off site for recycling

    Simply line them up and let rip

    Can understand the motivation behind getting some of that work done yourself, Pete.. I can also understand why you (and very possibly so many more of us) probably display more of a passion for what we might perceive as more characterful English rifles. With many of the German ones it will be the efficiency / accuracy / triggers that tend to win us over. Although many knock them for various reasons, I'd still love a Tracker, one day........
