New airgun project.

I never seem to be satisfied with my airguns and my next "fiddle" is to change the barrel of my .22 Weihrauch HW 95 for one of .25 calibre.
I have two air rifles at the moment, an HW 99s in .177 calibre and the aforsaid HW 95. I have ordered a .25 barrelfrom Blackpool Air Rifles and am now waiting impatiently for it! The only problem I can foresee is , when the barrels have been changed, is how best to reduce the power to below the legal limit of 12 ft. lbs. (The larger calibre needs less to expel the pellet) I will keep you up to date on progress.

Ramblings.

I would welcome feedback to my bloggs. My main hobby is shooting and fiddling with, airguns. I would like to hear from anyone with interests in anything to do with country matters. For example, trees, lurchers,birds, pubs, good beer, homemade beer,building a summer house, shooting rats, catching moles, photography, walks , making walking sticks, even fishing , which I don't do but would like to catch eels.

The other day, whilst our lovely neighbours were away, I hung around their chicken house with my new air rifle because I'd seen two rats feeding on the chickens corn. I eventually saw one as it left the wooden feed trough and it hid from me under the nest box only it didn't hide well enough and I shot it with a .177 pellet. It was a big fat rat. Very satisfying!
The rain has stopped so I'm going out to the river side to practice with my air rifle which is , for those interested, a Weihrauch HW 99S. I have another which is an HW 95 in .22. Both these guns are, in the Weihrauch tradition,very well designed and made and are a pleasure to shoot.
