Ok so can anyone suggest a good auto darkening welding mask, needs a big screen and a lot of size adjustment as I’ve got a big head and wear glasses. I tried welding with my old one for the first time with glasses and it didn’t end well for the piece of work or the welding helmet. I would have...

After many hours of happy tinkering over the winter I’ve made a horrible discovery, I’ve fixed everything! If I’m not careful my wife will find some diy round the house to keep me busy, even thinking of selling something so I can buy one or two rifles in horrible condition that will take me the...

I've got the trigger on my 35S so theres a nice crisp let off but its left me with a very long first stage, before i got down the rabbit hole of changing this has anyone modified one of these triggers?

Thought i'd post some pictures of a webley mk3 2 stage trigger, these are spares left over from working on a series 1 and 2. These bits have had a hard life as you may be able to see in the photos. I've also got the relevant back block that someone drilled out the left had thread for the stock...

Has anyone tried making these as I’ve had a mould for years sat in my bits box, I’ve also got some pellets that are absolutely rubbish so thought I’d melt them down and give it ago. I found the mould and a Tell 2 pistol in half a tin of dried gloss when I moved into my first house years ago...

Are Atlas lathes any good, I think it’s a 6 inch with an indexing tool post and a capstan and normal tail stock and a load of other bits. It’s not turned a cog in probably 45 years so will need a lot of work. Is this something that’s worth doing or would I be better off getting something much...

Do people still shoot the old pin fire cartridges, just asking as the police have removed a pin fire shotgun from a friends cert as they considered it obsolete even though he wanted it kept on. Just wanted to know if that’s normal?

So i've been trying to decide what to do with my late model Fenman profile as its losing pressure but even at 9ftlbs is a real bugger to cock so needs some work. I'm either going to reseal and use a britseal piston washer or convert it to a springer. I've heard that they can make a really nice...

Been doing a winter service on my guns and had a surprise find on my late model Anschultz 335. The breech bolt is fine but the thread in the breech jaws doesn't exist, not damaged just not there? I can just push the bolt into position. Its not drilled out to the full bolt diameter as the bolt...

So I've decided that i either need to reduce the power on my late model Fenman profile or sell it, after a 3 hour session down the range I looked like i'd just walked out of the gym. The guns sub 12 ft lbs and very accurate but i've got to the age where its just not that much fun to shoot...

So i have two Webley Mk3s but both have their trigger spring that presses down on the top of the first sear missing. The first gun didn't have one and the second one's completely disintegrated as i took the gun apart. My issue is not having seen the spring i'm having difficulties working out the...

Just noticed the stock on my late model Anschultz 335 has developed a crack through the pistol grip whos the best person to speak to about getting it fixed or am i better off trying to get a replacement?

I’ve got a Phoenix that shoots fine but the lever action isn’t that smooth and the magazines are really tight in the action, is this normal or does mine have an issue. I know it had a rebuild a couple of years ago but apart from that don’t know much about its past.

So not been a part of the forum for that long but as has been said before what a brilliant place. Its nice to know i'm not the only person tinkering with old air rifles and thanks to the amount of knowledge on the forum i've learnt a load of stuff i didn't know about my various guns and when i...

So i've just worked out when they are all back together I'll have 10 air rifles, 8 springers, 1 pcp and a gas ram. I only shoot about once a month as spend more time tinkering than shooting. I never realised how addictive working on them is.

So from the top, Fenman profile .22 which is awaiting a trip to Impact, Pax Phoenix Mk2 .22, Anschutz 335 Mk2 .22, Anschutz 335 Mk1 .22, early FWB 124 .177, Hammerli mod 4 .177, Original 35S in .22, then finally a 1950's Webley MK3 .22, on the left is the 2 stage trigger Mk3 action in .177...

I'm fed up with polishing by hand and i've decided i need a bench polisher, not ever having owned one do people have any recommendations, or any advice on what i should look out for?

I take it that as my garage is only 6m away from a public highway i can't set up a cronograph in it to check muzzle velocities?

So i purchased my first pcp a little while ago but after shooting springers since the 1970's it all seems to be a bit clinical? You line up, pull the trigger and theres a little noise and you hopefully hit the target. Don't get me wrong the things lovely but it just doesn't give the shooting...

Hi all just need to know for any owners of the series 1 Webley Mk3 whether the rear stock lug is the same size as the ones on all subsequent series. For info the series 1 doesn't have a plate on the left hand side of the loading tap. Just putting one together and the trigger blocks got a huge...
