I had my old GC2 serviced last year and brought it back from the dead . but on checking my old 2002 shutz for a service . i found that really it is to worn to consider , so what to do . so after thinking it through . i e mailed young al and asked him if he would consider selling his one . this used to be long to uncle melv and is a nice shooter . anyway i am picking it up tomorrow afternoon to try next week at the club . that is if it ever stops raining . ??? HOLLY
Raining wednesday so get a few hours in tomorrow with Mr Shutz . need to set up the Lupe scope on it . need a shroud for the last few inches of barrel to quieten it down a bit . see how it goes tomorrow ??? HOLLY
Should have stayed in bed today . i got down the club early to re zero the shutz . blooming cocking pin broke . had to go home to get my spare . rifle was not shooting well . found out half way around the course that i had put a top of airarms 8.4s into a pouch with a load of 7.9 acupels . one lubed pellet . one dry pellet . not good . hopefully sunday will go better ??? HOLLY
Well i have to say that old rifle shot damn well today . dropping just two of the twenty shot in 20 mph winds . HOLLY
Well gotta say the old Shutz is going really well . average of two shots dropped on half the course . not bad ??? HOLLY
Working on setting up the shutz today trigger wise . it had a small glitch between first and second stage . dropped it out of the stock and tweaked first stage screw two turns out . TRIGGER PERFECTION ? HOLLY
Against a 97 . a 107 , 207 , 16007 . any seven you like . no way , no hope , no chance ??? HOLLY
Cos this weighs a ton probably a good open class rifle Keith . but i will put this rifle up against a 9015 any day ??? HOLLY
Well i was hoping for decent results of at least as good as the old rifle used to be . BUT they were better . oh joy , oh double moist leg . Yehawwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww
Onward and upward / HOLLY
Right . after much faffing about swapping bits from the shutz i bought off Al .i found that a lot of the bits did not fit . the two models were not compatable . so the rifle never shot properly . just finished modifying it . all back together . not pretty but i hope it works . will see sunday . got a choice of barrels . so which ever one is best goes on it . the one on it now has been shortened . so will need a muzzle brake or carbon shroud . we will see . HOLLY
OK tried the shutz on my garden range with the newer barrel and it did not do so well . only mills in it at 25 yards . but that would not be so good at 55 yards . so old barrel back on . got a small leak out of the air arms filler . which i stopped by giving it a tap to allow air out to expell the bit of grit in it . ??? HOLLY
Bazza won't approve but i had to put the short barrel on the shutz . i don't have a shroud to go over it yet . looks a bit odd . ??? HOLLY
Right not much going on , so shutz strip and try to stop the leak . put it back together . this time without the help of those who were not helping . could still hear a much smaller leak . suspected the filler . early air arms type , never did trust em . cheap old things . sure enough after a bit of spital on the filler . i could see just a very small bubble . placed a pice of wood on top of the filler and gave it a couple of sharp taps . all it takes is a small amount of grit in these , end of . sorted at least for now . see if i can get a daystate type male connector in there . can't test it in the garden as it is to noisy . bit like the owner ??? HOLLY
Ba Ba , Bonk Bonk Bonk . did i hear something in the woods .??? HOLLY
Then get down to Meon with Bazza , no need to even see anybody there ??? HOLLY
No Keith but about two hundred other things maybe for your spring gun shooters ??? HOLLY
PS the difference between spring gun shooters and PCPers . is that springers are happy with a decent result . PCPers are unhappy with anything less than a win .😀😀.
PSS all except Bazza who would be happy just to a shoot . 😂😂😂
Never get that issue with a springer.
