    A new beginning ….

    Now released, and streaming on my TV .... it’s going to be interesting to see how much of the UKs contributors show up in the full cut https://www.facebook.com/groups/2340461352945517/permalink/2620923421565974?sfns=mo No spoilers from me..... but about 1 hour 40 in to see some Brits...

    Mechanical markers

    The capabilities of electronic editions have pretty much peaked, with many differences between models being cosmetic and fine tuning. The rules of events have moved to reducing the caps, and it’s possible (with the right skills/practice) to get a higher rate of fire from an uncapped mechanical...

    Dye i3 goggles

    That’s a good question as to whether to maintain or replace. An i3 lens would still be around in some of the UK retailers, but you’ll be looking at about £30 Then if your strap is in need of a refresh you can choose from a wider range than specific i3s as long as you know the size (and I can’t...

    Speedball/Airball (Any SupAir near Middlesbrough)

    I’ve made a stealth moderator edit to see if it highlights the question to anyone in your area. CPPS have a world class site and run the primary national series in Penkridge near Birmingham. Provided the current Covid situation moves on in time they will be hosting one of the European legs of...

    Cracked gauge

    Cracked glass on the gauge won’t normally affect operation - the pressure goes through at the back and the gauges needle sits up front behind the glass. It’s your call on whether you replace the gauge to ensure there aren’t any issues and to avoid a cracked glass putting off any buyers. They...

    Prepare for Facebook arguments ...

    I’m with you A hopper and a magazine have the same definition, and whenever a hardcore opinionist claims that hoppers are totally ‘unrealistic’ they can be pointed to the Japanese hopper fed machine gun On any event, the definition and scope is up to the organisers. As magfed became more of a...

    cylinder label confusion: test dates, death date etc

    Strange. The new ISO spec would imply (almost) unlimited life. I would expect a 5 year test cycle, but with a final date showing sites could / should not permit you to fill after Feb 2022. I see that Trevor Kent of HPAC has been tagged on the Facebook post, he will be able to shed more light on...

    Posting abroad?

    It should be fine. But be vary careful about what postage is used for compliance with their prohibited and restricted items - the lists will change by both carrier and the specific postage method. Also look into the tracking and insurance. It could get costly
