If you have spent all that time and effort on the preparation, I would get the parts professionally done. Just Google chemical blacking in your area, you may be surprized at how little they charge, as they usually put them in with another batch of stuff. You've done the hard work!

As @marko says, J S Ramsbottoms. Top service

Morning all, Anybody have any experience of the Huma Air externally adjustable regulator on the Uragan 3 fac? A picture of it fitted would be handy, as well as any other info. I can't find out much about it. TIA 🙂👍

Ordered yesterday, and just came through the door. Impressive service I think.

Blimey. I made sure I got there first thing thinking they'd all be gone in a flash 🤨

Hi @johnnyv, I'm just back from the shooting show, and have put deposit on Uragan 3 .25 FAC, 600mm at Vector Air. I think they were doing a special show price, because I haven't seen it that cheap anywhere else. So if you can get yourself there tomorrow, treat yourself. 👍

Just back from the show. Great to meet Pete on the Airmaks stand and get me free hat, thanks very much. As @Mike Woody Watkins Watkins says, just a good day out. Personally, I think it's a bargain, plenty of airgun stuff, and food prices similar to any other event you might go to. Enjoy

I applied for mine in July 2024, and received it in December 2024. Have you had your application acknowledged, and received visit from FEO yet? I got mine approx. 6 weeks after visit.

You might get a decent pair of second hand Celestron for £50

There was a fifth, be he rolled down the bank into the river 🫤

Exactly this. If you have gone to all the trouble of stripping it back to bare metal and polishing it; take it to a local blacking shop. They usually stick it in with a batch of other stuff and charge you next to nothing.

Vector told me that AGT do them to order for them, and that it takes 4 weeks, but you're dead right, I will ask them if they can guarantee it. Interestingly, when I asked if it came straight from the factory, set at FAC level, without being interfered with at this end; they told me that all AGT...

I've got a slot for .25 FAC Air, and shall be going for a Uragan 3. Just not sure where to get it from. Vector Air have quoted me 4 wees waiting time; never dealt with them before.

The use of ect. as an abbreviation for 'and so on'. It's etc. from the Latin 'et cetera'. Innit bro, know what I mean!

As others have pointed out; contact them first, asking whether they want you to include it with application or wait until they ask for it. I'm with West Mids, and have always got a reply to politely worded emails.
