Re: What do you dislike about modern air rifles.

I have to say that price didnt come into it for me, thats not saying I like putting the money out its more I wouldnt want to make from scratch an S410 for what they cost.

Re: gel bluing

For a complete barrel I would send it off to a company that can hot blue for one its a better finish and it lasts many times longer than the cold blue. For small pins I polish the heads and slots and nitre blue them, its quick easy...

Cheers Kevin
