UK, the birth place of FT, well done UK guys. Many I have met and shot with. Heart on my sleeve moment. 😉

First 3 kgs I purchased in Bulgaria, the wire was rubbish, next purchase was direct from Zan slugs, excellent lead wire. Lately I'm recycling unused pellets and slugs, it's working good. Reusing ammo that was previously rubbish. My lead stock is ok, can't see me buying any more wire.

Minus 5 Celsius forecast here tonight. Zulus , bed or rats in the morning.

Just a few general comments from me. Getting a few test slugs doesn't work. Tried it, bought thousands of then ended up with scrap lead . Manufacturing variance etc. What you need is your barrel diameter then order a swage kit suitable. Slug the barrel. Be prepared to see variables once you...

Yes, blanks. Around 110 euro and 8 euro shipping. Definitely worth the experiment. 😉

I'm using .177 16 gr zan grain slugs in the Alfa barrel, poly , 16.9 twist. The 20 gr H&N are also impressive. Nothing above 150 meter testing so far, it's not what I need. A few guys I know now use these barrels, not heard one complaint so far. I simply wanted a .177 longer slug barrel, 650 mm...

Bum slide will be mentioned soon. 😉 A Tinbum speciality. Decent kits, well respected etc. Peed off that I now need to try a HW30, well done. Haven't tuned anything for years.

Yes, too many updates and changes, especially in .22. Popular slugs nowadays, I'm guessing production methods change to meet demand. Fortunately I have a decent stock of Zan .177 that work in a Alfa precision barrel. No further test purchase of Zan slugs for me.

Shiny doesn't mean good. Stopped using Zan, too many changes so little consistency for me.

It was a error, it cost you. Life and experience etc If it the was a UK customer, price would be 20 percent more. UK Vat. I'm in Europe, often juggling currency differences, it's often a headache but definitely worth monitoring .

Great thread 👍 I'm about to move country, plenty of hurdles to overcome, paperwork etc, legislation and that big word I can't spell, bea.. cratic, nightmare. Thought long and hard, out of the 26 I own, the prophet original is the one I aim to keep. Life and decision.🙂

That RTI butt pad is a joke. Especially on high end priced models. I'm a RTI fan but lately all I see are a lot of negatives.

That's good 😊. Браво. It will certainly pee off and frustrate the Bulgarian FX crowd 😂. Hopefully something happens before I move to the UK next year. That's one shooting meet I don't want to miss. 👍

Today I realised I fl@@ked up! 😉. As ever my search for a .177 slug barrel continued. Alfa precision barrel bought, lathe work done by a forum member, the punisher. Excellent work. Had the finished barrel over a week, visitors, medical appointments etc delayed fitting and potential testing...

RTI also has strip downs, often before a user manual is issued. Gregor is the link on the tube.

For years I've trusted Best Fittings. They even built me a reg.tester. Over the years I've helped a few people out with my BF spares and stash. 🙂 Starting to run the stash down, next year I will be living in England. Next day, free shipping from BF. 🙂

That's for the Mora only. Or so I was told. Interesting though.

I totally agree with that statement, unfortunately real life costs currently limit my obsession. Currently owned, high cost air rifles finally have to earn my respect, the financial honeymoon is over. My big spend days are over. I'm actually quite relieved. 🙂

2.1 mm diameter weed wacker cord is what I've used for years. A bit of heat, form the eye, test and manipulate as required.

I tried a tuxing 700 cc bottle on a Prophet, full size. Even with the 61 mm shroud extension I wasn't able to use a mod of any decent diameter. Prophet is now totally standard and the 700 cc bottle is used for field top ups.
