Yeah, he's a very decent guy.  I've purchased a couple of guns from him over the last couple of years and he was incredibly knowledgeable and helpful. 

I completely understand why he's moving away from retail (having been there myself for 25 years), especially with the hassles and paperwork required these days.  It must be a nightmare dealing with it day in and day out.

Thanks for your email . Business and life very good thanks.



Just making some changes to business , will be concentrating on the importing side , while Youngs airguns in Ak handle all the rifles.

Oh and back on topic I emailed Dave and asked about no more pcps and low on pellets will let you know if he responds.
Mostly because I hoping he ain't gonna close as he's my quality weapon supplier choice, really good to deal with, and not a twat like certain other air rifle ppl I have dealt with. Also very prompt, efficient,always been well packaged. Knowledgeable.

Lol sure is for what is basically a couple features extra on a stock.
Mind you I'd go one if the they made synthic stock one.
Just a quick couple of calculations on lead bullets used in Ukraine think from half way through.
12,900 000 at 55grain is 45 metric ton. That includes the jacket so a little less. Doesn't take into account any that were heavier,had a steel core or the jacket.
Which is way less than i was thinking.

They all going to keep going up in price this war is going to create a massive panic with countries rearming both during and after, one thing that hasn't changed is soldiers on the ground flinging lead at each other.
Who knows a pellet dye maybe the best option at moment.
Always plenty of scrape lead around, old car batteries, tyre weights, fishing sinkers, probly even use soldier.

Thanks for the offer Kruza, very generous.  I'll be sticking with the $44 tins of JSB's for the moment, $59 for the AA's is a bit of a stretch.  I don't imagine they'll be flying out the door too fast at that price!

Well, Youngs has the new stock of the AA TX200 rifles in now so there may well have been a replenishment of the pellets in trhe same shipment so they may be back soon? (speculation)

Also, the new TX200 Ultimate Springer is $2998. Bugger me.
