Re: HFT 500 air blast

The metal to metal design seems to have passed the test of time but if you gan get plumbers tape in the clearance between barrel and housing and it doesnt all get squished out it sounds like the tolerances are too wide. But if it works, its ok. I might have used bearing fit loctite. We used that to ...

Re: S400 Charging to 100bar

Just means leaving it at the dive shop for a couple of days and forking out about 30 quid. If you have a non diving valve that will be "in test" for another 5 years.

Re: S400 Carbine Problems

The Air Arms video on checking for leaks is basically dribbling sewing machine oil over every joint looking for bubbles. I think you also need to check the sears under the trigger unit side plate and maybe even look at the hammer, hammer rail and firing pot. This is because nothing happens even with...

Re: AA S510 Super-lite pellet calibre?

If you can buy "outers" of 10 tins to share at a club then I can recommend Uttings. Our club buys from them. With postage they would work out just over £9 for 4.51s
Next day delivery.

Re: try to respond without using profanity...

I think we will have more problems than a bit of a slowdown if Donald Guff gets in the White House. He asked his advisors THREE times 'If we have nuclear weapons why cant we use them?' Anyway why is a no-growth economy so bad? I didnt do economics so I dont know, but growth year on year always seems...

Re: Barrel band?

It's all about performance, not over worried about how they look, the pellet has got to go where I want it to, keep the band on in case you knock it but open up the hole where the barrel goes, easy enough to test, benchrest with band on, then try with band off. Rog My MPR barrel band has two grub s...

Re: Dumb question

Look at parts list for 177 version parts. Loading bolt, barrel seal and holder, and I would have thought bolt housing but I cant find two housing versions for 410, when S400 has 22 and 177 versions.
