Actually I believe I demonstrated what every responsible airgun owner should do, which is keep an eye on your airguns lest they stray over the limit and resolve accordingly. If airgun owners can't test and/or fix it themselves then they should take it to someone that can. My point was that it isn't cool or funny to tune your airguns up over the limit. But anyway, thank you for watching and thank you for commenting.

@@nickvending9688 Actually what you have demonstrated is your complete and utter lack of respect for the law. You have very clearly admitted that you are the owner of a firearm and shot it. There is no leniency for ignorance. You are lecturing people on the legality of air weapons in the UK while working on a firearm. It's against the law to handle a firearm without a licence. Don't take my word for it, ring firearms and ask them if you feel so confident enough.

Thank you for watching and commenting, glad the video was helpful.

Hey, better late than never! Please check out the budget PCP series for what can be done with a PR900W, I love mine although like you I don't use it much. What were the Wetherbys like? I believe they are made by Howa? I'll have to research Stockman, I've not heard of them, interesting that they made a 7.62x54R Could you apply for a UK firearms licence? Don't be put off by the scaremongering, it takes time but we'll worth it.

Hello, thank you for watching and thank you for commenting. I should have tried that, but I was curious to see what was under there!

That’s the engineer coming out! I work in an office and so happy for the least effort! Still great to watch you at work.

Work smart, not hard 👍🏻 Thank you, much appreciated.

Hello, sorry I'm not following you. Use my left hand for what? Many thanks

They do have that certain something for sure.

Ha ha.

Hello, thank you for the information, very much appreciated. I prefer to use old engine oil in place of water. But ideally I don't want to modify another spring after this farce. My patience wears a bit thin when working on airguns, I get it not working first time, or second, or third but this really took the proverbial.

That is the correct way of doing it. Just collapsing the spring is basically the same as putting a stack of washers at the back of it. You should always cut the spring and collapse the last coil. Using square section springs are better because they don't suffer with spring twang as the round springs do.

They really are good bits of kit, I wouldn't be without mine.

@@nickvending9688 yep totally agree, I've had mine for about 2 years its going nowhere, never touched it , so reliable and accurate, thanks for your review, 😁👍

Hello, thank you for your comment and thank you for watching. Glad to hear there was no damage done. Guess he thought he was an amazing shot, with the last 3 pellets through the same hole? What is the Scorpion FT like? I hadn't heard of that model.

@@nickvending9688 Long story. Friend of mine asked me if I'd like to join him at a local FT club. Not having too much cash on hand at the time I had to go the economy route. My old Mk1 Scorpion got a used Ginb skeleton stock, with a UK Neil butt hook and silencer cum barrel weight cum air stripper. It is a super accurate air rifle which had been previously tweaked by UK Neil. To finish the rig I bought a battered but functional Big Nikko scope for not too much money on the BBS and job done for a rookie FT shooter. If you get a good BSA barrel the accuracy is astounding and can keep up with much more expensive kit. Shame they sold out to Gamo.

Sounds like a great bit of kit. I'm all for building using rifles I've already got, at least they are known good rather than risking buying something new. Agreed about BSA barrels and yes their spring guns have certainly suffered since the Gamo ownership.

Hello It's a Gen1, unregulated. The bands are the standard rear sight mount / barrel band that the rifle comes with, these can be purchased from a spares supplier. Pretty sure there is a link in the video description.

@@nickvending9688 thanks nick . Impressed with what you’ve done with it , still going through the videos

Thank you, but I can't take credit for this rifle. A friend built it. However I do now own it, sadly less the sights. Thank you for watching the videos, very much appreciated.

@@nickvending9688 I’ve striped mine down this morning and added a budget bipod and strap . I tested with a budget chronograph yesterday and noticed the ftlbs drop off within 18 shots from 783-745 (each shot dropping a bit ) however taking her to pieces I realised she is infact a gen 2 with the stock regulator . New seal kit coming as something is a miss

Yes that really doesn't sound right. How is the accuracy over 20 shots and does it noticeably drop?

That's true, Gamo own BSA. However the BSA PCPs are still made in the UK. I believe BSA are now making their own break barrel airguns too.

Thank you, very much appreciated.

It really is.

I've got enough airguns already. To be honest, I'm trying to reduce my collection.

Sí, es bastante vergonzoso. Espero que te encuentres bien.

Yep, agreed.

It really was a pity, some people shouldn't have nice things. What is the issue with the magazine?

It would be the 3-9x40, but make sure it has AO. I use 3-9x40 on most rifles, even on centre-fires out to 100m. Another contender would be the Richter Optik 3-9x42 AO, I actually prefer them to the equivalent Hawke entry-level scopes. Whichever you buy, AO or side focus is a must.

@@nickvending9688 thanks a lot

Getting a gas ram was an itch I wanted to scratch, wish I could have afforded an HW90. The rifle came good eventually, but yes buying budget airguns can be a false economy.

We'll just leave that one there 😉

Thank you.

Sounds good, I've subscribed. Look forward to seeing what you've done to it.

You're too kind, thank you. Sadly the intro was necessary. I prefer to just get on with it, however I had to put that intro in due to some rather odd comments where I was accused of encouraging people to take their airguns over the UK limit... Hopefully, I've sufficiently done my civic duty so future videos can just feature the necessary info with the usual smattering of smut.

Not quite the same length. The adjustment was ridiculously sensitive.

Hello, hope all is well. I switched to lithium for the HW98 rebuild. I didn't get any dieseling with my old grease, nor did it attract dirt.

Hello, I measured the barrel using a vernier and then bought a suitable adapter from eBay.

Hola antonio Intento cubrir muchos oficios diferentes para intentar atraer a más espectadores. Además, me ahorra dinero si lo hago yo mismo. Espero que estés bien, todo lo mejor.

Hopefully this video shows it's better to buy a decent kit from the off rather than trying to modify over power springs to work. The gun actually shoots quite well, but I'm not happy with it and will be rebuilding it soon with a better (at present secret) spring.

Every single time I'm filming... I'm sure a professional would put the phone on DND, I'll learn eventually.

Yep, I agree with you fully. These kits had a lot of recommendations in the comments on other videos, so I wanted to see what the fuss was all about. As I'm sure you can tell, I can't see what the fuss is all about... Still, at least it is legal now, albeit extremely legal.

Ha ha, yes it was meant to confuse and intrigue. Sadly the number of giraffes doesn't match the number of views, so I must have waffled on for too long.

But thank you for watching and for commenting, much appreciated 👍🏻

It was a shame. I did get a replacement which works fine, but being honest it doesn't blow me away. I like the Gamo single stroke pneumatic pistols. I would like a go with the Beeman and it's Weihrauch twin to see why there is the price difference or are they just the same pistol.

Good guess, but sadly not correct.

Looks like porthmeor beach at St.Ives?

I'll let a few more folk comment, but you may well be correct 👍🏻

Yes, I believe so. It's a shame this one was faulty.

I'm trying to work out how that sentence is supposed to make any sense. Bless your heart for trying.

Hello, the name is: Irwin Quick-Grip Heavy Duty One-Handed Bar Clamp/Spreader I bought mine from Screwfix, most DIY stores sell them. Measure the length you need and buy the clamp that's a bit longer. I only recommend the heavy duty irwin clamps, I've had other brands shatter which really wasn't helpful.

Mine is a Chrony F1. It needs incandescent lights over the diffusers, LED lights made it constantly error due to the flicker.

@nickvending9688 I thought LEDs were OK it was the florescent that flickerd ? Asking because my cheap chronographs are not reading the same maybe is the leds in my garage 🤔

It seems to be both, I have to use additional lights in my garage (fluorescent) and workshop (LED).

@nickvending9688 I have the same one min it's consistent then it goes to shit , I had h&n ftt 14.66g 5.55mm head size pellets running between 601 fps 11.76 fpe to 614 fps 12.28 fpe ( a little hot I know ) but I the tried jsb 15.89g pellets and it jumped to 13.30 fpe , I've just removed a small slip washer and the ftt are down to around 10.3 fpe I'm beyond frustrated 😠 also I'm using a combro mk4 so I'm also convinced the slight recoil is giving a false reading as it's attached to the barrel idk 🤷‍♂️

@peterconnor4193 I've noticed sudden jumps with mine but it is then repeated when shooting the rifle and usually due to burning off grease giving sudden hot shots. I'm not struck on the barrel mounted chronographs, I feel the recoil will falsely increase power but must confess I haven't done a side by side comparison.

Hello, thank you for your comment much appreciated. The replacement works well, but must admit I haven't used it a lot and I haven't really bonded with it. It is mostly used as a static display piece. Thank you for the tip with trigger pull, I'll give it a go.

That sounds all too familiar, try, try again in sweltering heat or freezing cold, fighting against incorrect parts making the job even more of a PITA. I do wonder why I do it sometimes. Hope your move to the UK goes well, hopefully we might have elected a capable by then (probably not). Thank you, the stock has settled in and looks rather good now, I'm happy with how it turned out in the end. All the best, Nick

@nickvending9688 if it wasn't for the 12fpe law it would be pretty simple 😫

Hello Paul Thank you for your patience. Apologies, part 2 was shelved. My old job was half day on Fridays so I had some workshop time and time to edit videos. Now I work full hours on a Friday and weekends are usually booked up so I don't get as much free time to film the videos. I'm hoping to get something done on it fairly soon because I've got a rifle that needs a sling.

@@nickvending9688 Ok Nick cheers still need to get rid of the shiny leather on my slings any ideas please?

I will be trying isoproponol and a scouring pad to remove the shine. Then the heat treatment in the oven to crack the leather. I might use my outdoor oven to save stinking out the kitchen this time, Mrs V was not happy last time.

@@nickvending9688 cheers Nick, you must keep Mrs V happy so out door is a must!!, 😄I might try Acetone to demolish the shine.

Acetone is a good idea. Meths is another I was going to try.

I had to Google that. Wow, they look awesome 👌🏻. Out of my price range sadly.

@@nickvending9688 Yeah I shouldn’t have but I like to make bad decisions and it was a one time thing. They made a FG42 as well. Sadly we can’t get deactivated guns here.

Where are you?

@@nickvending9688 The US. In some states you can’t even own replicas.

@manifestman132 that surprises me. What are the firearms laws in those states?

Thank you, glad it was helpful.

Thank you, much appreciated 👍🏻
