Hi

The quality of the fur down here is pretty good alright you can see why they use it for stuff it's so bloody soft and not itchy like wool I can't believe that it's not more widely used and harvested I mean the are nothing but a pest and no use for anything else I got in the crap years ago in Aussie I was on holiday and saw one on the bird feeder so I grabbed it by the tail and put it down I didn't know that they are protected over there 😂 and yeah I had my fal for 22 years I had never been in trouble for anything at all with the cops I had really good solid reference from a few people but I didn't have a chance and I actually have to say that if some of the springer on the market now do the fps that they say it's more fps than a low velocity.22 and more fps than an average pcp yet you have to have a fal for them to and let face it guns don't kill people any more than a spoon make you fat it is the person who is holding it that is the problem and tbh the only people who don't have a gun without a license is the honest people it's like a lock on a door that won't stop a crim it will only stop the honest people

Cheers I have been learning about the recoil and stuff that a Springer does compared to powder and how to hold a Springer compared to powder it's a little hard to break the habit of holding it tight like a powder I'm not concerned about the fps really I was just trying to use it as a comparison I'm a bearing engineer so also well aware of the affect of the approaching the sound barrier and it's affects on a projectile bit like a "dome" shaped front is more stable in the air as a pose to a pointed tip bit like the mass of the projectile being more important for a kill than the fps I would have gone with a.17 if I was really wanting fps but even though they are higher than a .22 having less mass makes them less affective than a .22 but I do appreciate you giving me advice I work on the theory that if I don't know what someone else does know I will listen and learn rather than forming my own opinion on what I think I know my 7mm was a bit more accurate with a slower projectile then the faster ammo I am am surprised tho at just how different springers behave then powder it's just a practice thing I guess bit like anything in life the more information you know and the more practice you do makes you better and it's the smaller details that you pay attention to that makes the most difference

Bearing engineer. What does that involve?

Sound like the perfect person to design a rotational pcp/co2 mag that locks exactly in line with the barrel, every time it turns and doesn't have play.
Or maybe a break barrel mag that works like a pcp mag and doesnt lift with barrel. Though you would probly need something like the sig asp20 locking system to stop barrel misalignments. The air gun world could use both.

Thanks guys I appreciate your beliefs in my capabilities but I think that you may have over estimated what I am capable of in saying that I have definitely been trying to figure out way's of doing what you are saying I don't have the actual skills required to physically do the build I could possibly do the theory but I would probably need a gun smith to do the physical work and make sure any idea that I had were actually safe to do I had thought about something like using a fixed barrel but having a slide under it that would work kinda like a bolt action you would pull it straight back to cock the spring then you could push the bolt up loading a pallet from a mag that lay horizontally what a spring in the mag and the pallet in line with the barrel one behind the other it's a little hard to explain
