Fun, you'll be bored s**tless with putting pellet on pellet.

Assuming your shooting from a good steady rest, bench bag or bipod and using JSB Exact heavies.

These are two groups I shot with mine at 41 yards ( optimum zero), 10 shots each, JSB Exact Heavies .177 cal.

The .22 is just as accurate.

Stock wood is always nice too.

Michael Tawn airgun supplies, midland diving or Best fittings, all in the UK.

I always buy from Michael Tawn, good price and quick service, he also has Sportsmatch mounts to suit if your looking for the best.

Not sure about prices in NSW for Faber 300 bar tanks, here in Melbourne, Dive gear Australia have the 12 litre 300 bar tank for $749.00.

Maybe a used tank ?

Dont buy tanks from the UK though as you wont be able to get them filled in Australia due to not having the right compliance stamps. I know of one second hand 300 bar tank (6l water capacity) for sale down at Southern Cross Divers in Sydney for about $100 or so. If you have a large enough tank (eg 12l) a 240 bar cylinder will give you loads of fills before you need a recharge. Make sure it comes with a DIN valve so you get the full 240 bar fill otherwise many shops will only fill to 200 bar with an A clamp (or k valve)

See details here

Why would you buy fittings from the UK when you can buy local?

You can get Ninja scuba adaptors and foster quick couplers locally. Adaptors/sleeves can be purchased from Pirtek. Just about every probe and fitting uses 1/8" NPT which is the paintball industry standard, even the probe for my Anschutz 2025. Yes, the Germans went down that track too.

send me a PM.

Because MDE are the industry standard, and buying from the UK is actually cheaper than buying local.

Local.

What is local to you ? Like a local shop, pub, school ?

To me that's just down the road, where can I buy a hose and gauge assembly for a 300 / 232 bar din valve local.

Would Aus post have to be involved or could I walk down and pick it up ?

MDE, strong, reliable, made for the job, and sold by people who actually shoot.

Who are these chuffin Ninjas anyway?
