Okay, so I obviously missed a meeting. I hadn't realised air rifles had gone so far:

Once you get past how annoying Americans are the actual range, stability and consistency is pretty impressive!

Not sure if already mentioned, air rifle power drops off as they age. Unlike Bullet Guns which just get auld.
So springs and seals need maintenance. More than likely a task that could easily have a fekin eye oot or a finger off.
And the Fire Arms Certificate is an issue since the Fcuking Fat Bastirt murdered all those children and their teacher in Dunblane Primary school.
So sad.
Literally babies.

That's why we can't have good things in UK.

Wouldn't want to do a lot of shots with that thing. That's a lot of energy to keep trying to soak up with your shoulder ____________________ PRESENT: 2018 BMW S1000XR SE Sport.

I rebuilt my BSA Mercury when it was 40 years old about 4 years ago. It hadn't fired in years and wouldn't.. The nylon(?) piston had expanded in the pressure chamber and was an absolute fucker to get out. The new one is aluminium I think. I was tempted to fit an extra strong spring but the dour warnings of prison if I exceeded the FAC power limit put me off! ____________________ Now: A100, GT250A, XJ598, FZ750

Made the right call mate, even thought it's extremely unlikely to be caught, if you were and the police lab chrono-graphed it over 12 ft-lbs you'd be fucked. You'd be in possession of a Section 1 firearm without a license and that's a minimum of 12 months prison. You'd also be looking down the barrel of the more serious charge of manufacturing a firearm which is a very minimum of 3 years prison.

Gulp! ..in other news I recall a trick I was once showed involved putting a drop of propellant (ether/easy start IIRC) in the air chamber, which would sometimes ignite when the air was highly compressed (like a diesel engine I suppose). The result was an impressive 'crack' sound and a pellet that would burst through corrugated iron sheet...allegedly. ____________________ Now: A100, GT250A, XJ598, FZ750
