Thanks for that. I won't bother with them then. Don't want my scores to get any worse than they already are. :)

Re: Pellet performance vs cost

Has anyone tried these yet? https://www.jsramsbottom.com/products/p ... 0-tin.html I think that I'm going to try them when I have run out of Geco's. I bet that they shoot better than I do!

Re: IZH-46M Parts

Try York Guns in the UK. They don't sell the MP46M any more but they may still have some spares. I have bought spare parts for them in the past. Thanks, I will email them. If they say they don't have any, ask them to check again, or to ask the manager. The last time I bought a part from them, the f...

Re: Change to RWS Basic pellets

I've noticed exactly the same thing with Geco's. I wouldn't at all be surprised if they are exactly the same pellet in a different tin.

It seems to be the opposite of over here then. Basic's are very hard to come by and Geco's sell for around £4.00 a tin.

Re: Heads Up On RWS Basic Pellets (USA)

If you can buy RWS Geco's in the USA, I think that you'll find that there's no noticeable difference between those and Basics.

Re: What's your high score?

I am over the moon today. I just shot my personal best in practice. I shot 546, with a best single card of 96. My previous record was 530 and 95 on a single card. Now I just need to do that in a comp. Bravo Are you entering the Blackburn comp at the end of the month then ? Nope. I shoot in the Cumb...

Re: FWB 300

Mr. Rover is correct. I have rebuilt a FWB 300S with a genuine repair kit from FWB with 2 springs. The old springs that came out of the rifle were considerably shorter than the replacements. The rifle shot like new afterwards, and should continue to do so for many years to come.

Re: Anyone use or have opinion on this PCP hand pump

I have a Hill mk4 pump. It takes roughly 50 pumps to fill my Morini cylinders after every 180 shots. It takes me less than 2 minutes. Unless you have a health problem, it's not too difficult. It's less hassle for me than having SCUBA cylinders charged, plus I get a certain satisfaction from supplyin...

Re: Drive U nutz pellet test

try Germany, I bought a lot of other stuff from UK (books, clothes, alarm clock), I don't see why somebody wouldn't send pellets. This would be the cheapest , but I don't know if they send to UK This would be another option , but you have to ask for shipping cost yourself. Thank you for your help. ...

Wayne, Many thanks :) York Guns have come through - they have the valve seal ('lock') :) Oddly, 'Sportsman Gun Centre', who are now the 'official' importer, do not keep spares for the MP-46M !

Re: IZH-46M Still in production?

Hello to All, While we can buy the MP-46M in the UK for a very good price, we cannot, for love or money get any of the seals. The enclosed seal pack that comes with the pistol does not contain the valve seal. The importers cannot help either. Attempts to buy seals from the USA have proved fruitless...

Wow only £275, that only about $388 USD. What shop is that? I'm not sure if you can export from the UK like the Netherlands does. Krale in the Netherlands gets them too but they'll be about $500. Yes, they used to cost £450 over here, until all those sanctions on Russia devalued their currency. htt...
