    Recommendations?

    I'm toying with getting a lathe ( for the purpose of making bits n bobs for my guns), and don't know whether to get a small one (Clarke etc) or a second hand bigger one. Not very experienced with lathes, only turning down spigots many moons ago, and would be grateful for any recommendations and...

    Uk sub12

    It seems to me (in my very limited experience) that most springers were originally designed for more output that non FAC are allowed, resulting in less than desirableshot cycles etc ? What, if any, were designed specifically for sub 12ftlb, other than the likes of hw30, and are still available?

    Ozzy tribute on the Brits 2026

    Didn't bother watching the thing usually, but I saw something about Robbie Williams, of all people, singing 'no more tears' Bless him, I don't think he's ever worked so hard in his life! 🤣. Credit where it's due, he didn't make a bad fist of it! Zakk Wylde stole the show though, amazing guitarist.

    Not been up here for a while

    Thought as its nice and dry, I'll stick 2 of my dogs in the back of the pick up and have a stroll in the hills by Dalton Park. Got to the top of that hill in the distance, and what did we find..?

    This is my employer's answer to a rat infestation 🤣🤣 I think they're hoping it's going to blindly stumble onto a trap, tight gits didn't even bait them 🤣🤣🤣

    Daft question of the day

    There probably is an obvious answer, but why don't I see oak used for a stock? Is it weight issues? Grain structure? Same goes for sapele, or mahogany?

    I've been a biker pretty much all of my life, and one of the best things about it was the feeling that you were in a 'brotherhood'. If you were unfortunate enough to suffer a breakdown, almost all the time you could guarantee a fellow biker would at least pull over and offer some assistance...

    Fx v2 chronograph

    So I've had this for a couple of months, charged it up, downloaded the appy thingy ( not very tech savvy). Right. Hw30 giving me vertical stringing issues. Sausage fingers lost one of the bands! 🙈 quick search of the crap drawer, right we're in business! Attach it to just behind the sight...

    Kral puncher unica, the good, the bad 'n the ugly?

    I'm thinking about treating myself to a unica, and wondered what owners really thought of them before I open my wallet. There's plenty of reviews online, but I'd really appreciate the views of owners with no particular axe to grind eg : pellpax. Thanks in anticipation, Neil. ps Merry Xmas

    Alternatives to HW30 ?

    Hi guys. I'm trying to get the missus into shooting (not daft me 🤫) and was thinking of getting her a HW30. She's only 5ft so no good getting something she can barely hold on to. Its mainly back garden plinking, but with a view to using one of our local ranges when she feels confident enough...

    When did driving in town with full beam headlights become fashionable?

    Is it just me? or is there a valid reason why morons drive through town (and other well lit areas) dazzling every poor sod they encounter with headlights not dipped? Seems to get worse year on year 😔

    Wash n lube?

    Is it worth washing and lubing pellets, or just use straight out of the tin? Is there any benefit/drawback ? Cheers in advance 👍

    Egg sponge in cases, is it harmful?

    Hi, I'm a bit new to all of this, but wanted to know people's experiences with hard gun cases. Does the foam padding inside do any harm to the air rifle? The reason I ask is that in the weihrauch manual it says to wrap the gun in plastic if putting it in a case. Seems a bit of a faff?
