Just ordered the wooden Stock/Holster for the M712!

Jeff-Groves · 05-13-15, 08:27 PM

And here's my 712 in the just arrived stock.

Several days ago I got my hands on a Hatsan Dominator in .25 caliber.

Through wheeling and dealing I have a Lothar-Walther barrel in .177 Cal on its way and it only costs me shipping.
This barrel is nearly Olympic Grade with a History of setting State Records.

Your Walther looks similar to the Hatsan 125 Vortex. Been thinking about pulling the trigger and getting one from PyramidAir. But at 300 dollars Im afraid the wife would take it and beat me over the head with it.

The Walther is a rebranded Hatsan 125.
Mine was a .22 and EXTREMLY accurate!
Sold it for $160 bucks with a new seal and a Nitro Piston cylinder for a conversion.
The Guy that bought it put the Nitro in it and was getting 30 FPE!

The Lothar-Walther barrel has been safely at home for awhile now.
In the next few days the Dominator and the new barrel go south to Florida to be machined, fitted, and tuned.

Here's a side note on the Guy doing the work.
He use to build Engines for Dale Earnhardt.

I decided to custom paint the stock on the Dominator.
I'm going with a WWII German Sub type camo.
So if anyone has a favorite SH3 skin? Post an image for me?

Expand your horizons a bit

the 'targets' had cool paint jobs too and would tolerate the stock's shape superbly:

USS K-5 1910I

Just got a deal on a Vintage Pre WWII Diana 27!
Markings date it around 1937-1939

Next is my 1322 in .22 cal.
Good for out to maybe 40 yards.
My pride and joy is the SMG 22.
Belt fed, full auto, SubMachine Gun that is crazy accurate out to about 50 yards!
Nice thing is they are cheap to fire as ammo is cheap and easy to get.
And I don't need to register them.

When I first read this, I thought you said "punching through 5 plastic buckets!"
That would be pretty powerful...and probably illegal.

That Diana looks awfully a lot like my fathers air rifle.

Hi All, I have a 1979 BSA Meteor breach loader, was in a state when I got it, so I stripped it down,removed the broken spring, degreased it completely with brake cleaner, drilled the transfer port to 1/8th", then counter sunk it with a rose drill bit then polished it till it shone! Polished the entire cylinder and piston
lubricated the assembly with dry PTFE lubricant, fitted a Titan XS mainspring and reassembled the rifle! Somewhat of a difference! I would not want to be on the business end of it! Had some lovely rifles in my time, the best I think was a BSA Airsporter underleaver, lovely rifle.

Jeff-Groves · 04-08-16, 01:55 PM

I would love to see pictures Mate!!
I haven't had a BSA yet but you never know when the opportunity may turn up.

As for me? I've bought or built a lot of equipment to work on Air Guns.
My goal is to open my own shop and offer parts and services.

The Air Guns out there now are not what I played with years ago.
