Here's mine, what's yours?

Well my eldest is having a few problems hitting the book shelf never mind a barn door with this modern replica of a Colt SA

On a more serious note:

I seem to have a problem hitting anything some days but for some reason I find this 1998 model particularly inaccurate - not sure why - when I'm on form I can achieve good results with older Webleys. Bit of a mystery - perhaps the barrels bent!

Are you allowed to say that? Maybe it's the barrels lifestyle choice. :P :lol:

Thats as may be but its playing havoc with my ability to remain within the inner ring

Oh dear, I appear to have lapsed into 'Carry On' mode - hopefully Matron will bring me my medication soon

Another...

I actually remember standing to one side with my hand streched out on the trigger to see if I could see where the damn pellet went when it left the barrel. :roll: :lol:

Is that an RO70?

I have an RO71 which is similar, the the grip has a squarer bottom.

Not sure which gun that actually is.

There used to be a Sheridan in a drawer at my old works.

Interesting gun, which I dry fired often, but never had a proper go with.

Kind regards,

Phil

No it's an FB Record LP68.

I do like FB guns, there are quite a few models, and good condition boxed ones often come up cheap.

Kind regards,

Phil

I like the FB's too but I don't think I would use mine in a comp.

Quite right, some guns are for shooting, some for collecting due to their quirkiness.

Kind regards,

Phil

That's my excuse and I'm sticking to it.

Hi Ian. Strange, the .22 Tempest I just sold, which must have been a similar vintage, was easily capable of cloverleafing at six yards if I did my bit. It seemed to like RWS Hobbies best, which seems odd for a 5.6mm barrel but maybe nobody told the pistol it was only supposed to like old Eley Wasps and Marksman!

Quite right and well spotted - wrong pic from the bucket!

Ive got some Hobbies I bought to try in the 600 (no good) might gove them a go with this
