VCR Bill
Since the introduction of the "latest" VCR bill on 1st October 2007, sales of AIRGUNS (including replicas) AND MAJOR COMPONENTS (barrels, cylinders etc.) by DEALERS is restricted to a face-to-face transaction. Please ensure you are familiar with the changes brought about due to the VCR act, which may be viewed on the BASC website. BASC and ACPO have produced a guide to the VCR act in PDF format, which avoids legalese and is very understandable. See HERE. AirGunForum members must ensure their transactions conform with current legislation before posting. An inter-dealer network to facilitate the continuation of mail order business is being established by Portland Jon. Details are HERE or direct to his website HERE. -

For me it was a very good old school course, I again learn a lot and need to change a number of things. I did start the session saying if I can get up into the 40s by the end of the season I'd be happy so to be close after a disastrous start I'm very happy. Matt

From am session, Bertie was 3, jack 5 - I shot with jack and design Edwards, I missed five out of first ten and struggled, can't believe how nervous I was - I finished 11 down not great, but I think it's fair to say pm had the better weather conditions certainly upto 3 pm when I left. Matt

Looking forward to this event, not been shooting much of late but just looking to have a laugh. Still need to set gun up for fit, hopefully get it sorted as the season progresses. If I can finish in top half its a good start to the season. Matt

On changing em over . the vibration on my steyr seems to have gone . so although i thought the WL barrel was not touching the forward support , it must have been . more testing required on both rifles . ??? HOLLY

This rifle is MK11 . it has not been upgraded to the MK 111 bleed valve . which basically means it is harder to cock and you get less shots . . the rifle on the chrono was doing 785 in the heat of the day . i was only getting around 70 shots . with the MK111 bleed valve i should have been getting about 90 shots at 780 fps . accuracy was pretty good but windage not so good . now the GCs are usually pretty good . so when i got home i got the phosphorous bronze brush and brass rods and gave it a couple passes up and back with cleaner . . sure enough two ton of muck came out on the patches . i have found that older rifles in very good condition . don't get shot much . but oiled a lot cos of long periods of storage . the oil after a while dries hard . leaving the barrel a bit crusty ( like groucher ) hopefully this will improve it . will give it good few pellets through it next week ??? HOLLY

No Stan , you cannot afford one and they would not sell you one if you could . Stan And Dave Stay away , as you would lower the tone of em . ??? HOLLY PS i was shooting it today . it is Damn well nearly as tall as me . Beautiful .

Wife down the club today , with her steyr . so it was the first chance to compare the two barrels . HW 100 Carbine and Walther Loather .. interesting . i know i was not shooting em at the same time but i think the HW100 was slightly more accurate and slightly better on windage . not much in it . may be at 55 yards half an inch of wind for the HW100 and just on or slightly less than an inch with the WL barrel . out of 5 shots fired at the quarter inch bolts holding the targets on ( yes Rob i know you said they were bigger , well they look small at 55 yards )three hit them some where on the bolt with the HW100 . two with the WL . ( off the bench ) . not a huge amount but in FT every mill counts . so will try changing em over . ??? HOLLY
