How straightforward is it to set the reg up to around 85 bar (about 1230 psi)?

I believe regs like those on the Walther Dominator which is popular for Field Target shooting are set around that level.

Shooting .177 7.9…Read more

Brutus my friend, you are a gentleman, no doubt about it.

You have already been very kind and have helped me a lot.

This kind of spirit is what these forums should be all about.

I will decline your offer (for now anyway!) as I really need to sort out a…Read more

It is a sod when work gets in the way of your hobbies. Alas haven’t had time to try yet.

Not sure my drill stand will be as good as a proper pillar drill either so may chicken out and give it to a mte who is an engineer with all the gear.

Then again, it is useless as it is so may…Read more

By the way, I appreciate that the Brits here use “inches” and “FPS” instead of all that…Read more

I haven’t checked them but I have tried the same bottle and valve on 2 different guns with the same result and both guns are fine using my other bottle/valve so I don’t think that can be the problem.

I have spoken to Brutus and it appears there is a restriction inside the…Read more

A mate has a pillar drill and we used progressively larger drill bits, starting quite small, and drilled the bolt out. We weren’t able to save the thread so once we got the barrel out we re-drilled the hole and re-threaded it for M6 as we happened to have some M6 grub screws – we could maybe have done M5…Read more

I had the foresight to order one of Leupy’s hybrid hammers along with his spring, guide and spacers when I bought my first Stealth.

I have a Stealth and a Storm, both second-hand and I don’t know the history but plainly something has been done to the valve on the Storm as it sports one of Leupy’s top hats and there is a little box…Read more

Make the For Sale forum two parts, First section for NEW (with Warranty) items only, Sort of like a store front and charge rent and for advertising.

Make the second part of the For Sale forum for USED(with or without warranty) items only, for sale or trade. with no…Read more

There is a section for members to sell their “one off” bits and pieces, guns scopes etc as individuals.

They have a separate section for new items and in order to post something up their post/advert has to be approved by a moderator.

Could something like that be put in place…Read more

I have the Airmax 3-12×44 with the SR6 reticle on my .177 Stealth.

The aim points on the scope are fantastic for its intended use as a Hunter field Target gun but remember the reticle was designed around shooting at the legal limit in the UK, 12 foot pounds Energy.

You can do a lot of…Read more

When clicking on a google link it takes you to a page about medicine!

The “cached” page takes you to the site about high pressure air but any of the links – including the “contact us” – on the page take you straight back to the medical page.

Bizarre.

Good plan, will give it a go, ta.

Ok, it would have to incorporate a quick fill at the bottle end but I for one am not too bothered about a gauge, the one on my air tank is more accurate than most I have seen on rifles and I always refer to…Read more

JDS was a little brusque and not very helpful and Airhog didn’t even have the courtesy to reply.

So, neither of them are getting my money.

Velocette, I am all too aware of the difficulty in broaching the subject on UK forums – I am a member of most of them where I use the same user name.

As for writing to the editor in chief of the 2 UK airgun magazines, rather a waste of time as he is also the chairman of the AMTA.

I have also written fruitlessly to the…Read more

The more I shoot it, the more the power seems to creep up. Must be the power curve I guess. What pressure do most UK Stealth owners fill to? I think I am going to have to find the sweet spot and fine tune it there. A project for tomorrow though as I’m losing the light for my combro.

I see on the…Read more

Nope, used to ride one myself when I was a bit younger. Living in Wales where it seems to rain more days than not I just prefer to keep dry in a car these days 😆

Otherwise the mods you are talking about can put you in serious trouble with the law.

The unique looks of the Stealth already attract the attention of Mr Plod and if you are found with an unlicensed section…Read more

I didn’t chrono it again but at the club I was knocking over re-settable targets (40mm kill zones) out to 52 yards without any bother.

Was particularly pleased as I was using holdover with a Hawke Airmax SR6 3-12×44 scope at 7x magnification.

To put this in perspective I am normally a Field…Read more

It actually averaged 790fps, which is fine, it is the huge variation which was bothering me more. If it is…Read more
