    EDcase got a reaction from ibo7 in Sub £100 bolt action - worth buying?   
    I can add to Lord_Poncho's comment about the WELL MB01
    I got one to try out as it was cheap and wanted to try a boltie just in the garden.  I was lucky enough to get a relatively good one.
    It shoots almost exactly 450fps(0.2g) stock and is accurate enough to reliably hit a tin can at 15m which is the max distance I can shoot in my garden. (I use 0.3g BBs)
    Haven't tried it in an actual game but for a bit of plinking fun its quite satisfying. (Tip: Pull the bolt as close to the body as possible to avoid too much side torque)
     
    BUT if you're after accuracy then stick to air rifles as airsoft is nowhere near as accurate.

    My main ride (W650) complete with son.  Note ex-girlfriends lace sided leather loon pants.  I used to wear them until I stopped training martial arts for a couple of years and got bloody fat!
     
    Bike has been dynojetted, airbox cut and pipes debaffled then dyno'd for perfect mixture.  Turned an 85mph constipated slug into a ton plus snorting beasty.  
     

     
     
    Crap pic of my Guzzi.  Same Tonti frame as the LeMans.  Frame of a sportsbike, engine that's agricultural folk art.  Wanted one ever since I rode a friends new one back in the mid 90s.  Mrs TPH likes this one.  With a little bit of help from a bloody great iron bar it sounds like a Lancaster bomber.   
     

     
    It makes hum the CHiPs theme tune as you ride it.
     
    Old pic of my XS 'Zig-Zag Wanderer' after the Beefheart song.  I'd bought some 7/8" ss tube to make handlebars with, but booze said, 'Nah, you need a sissy bar.'  Still have it.  It now has open shotgun pipes and is Daytona yellow. 
     
     

     
    My bike for hot dry days.  0-100 in 7.2...  My Dad bought this for himself for his 70th.  He has something more sedate now - Honda 750 Hornet.
     

     
    I've a few more in bits and the lad already has four including a GSX250R.  I think they breed in the garage tbh.  
     
    Looking to buy an Enfield to chop.  I want another hardtail.  Looking at an 883 on Saturday.  It's A2 license friendly and #1 son can slow down a bit and have something comfy for his girlfriend to sit on.  
     
    I'll not put the patched up pics online, but bikes have been a massive part of my life for years.  Despatch rider for a while, lived in a shared house with clubmates.  Still get together once a month to scare polite society.

    A Sunday school teacher is concerned that his students might be a little confused about Jesus, so he asks his class, "Where is Jesus today?"
    Steven raises his hand and says, "He's in Heaven."
    Mary answers, "He's in my heart."
    Little Johnny waves his hand furiously and blurts out, "He's in our bathroom!"
    The surprised teacher asks Little Johnny how he knows this.
    "Well," Little Johnny says,
    "every morning, my father gets up, bangs on the bathroom door and yells
    'Jesus Christ, are you still in there?!'"

    EDcase reacted to Dan Robinson in Bespoke Airsoft - Loudwater   
    Went to Bespoke today as I was working half an hour away and had underlings to do work whilst I looked important.  So I pulled rank and ducked out for a bit with my faulty from new AA G36 GBBR.  If you remember the other thread, it is firing a shot at 500 ish fps, then everything subsequent to that just rolls out of the barrel.  I bought it from them at the end of last summer, then had trouble getting in touch, and then work/travel commitments made getting to their then Slough based store tricky.  Talking to them today, I am willing to grant them the communication issues were down to them preparing for the move.
     
    New shop is looking pretty damn impressive.  They have a fairly big unit on a small trading estate.  I assume a warehouse downstairs, then a large open office upstairs with a new shop area that is going to be quite big too.
     
    They answered the buzzer and let me in unannounced.  An incredibly polite staff (I think the owner) took my pew, which is now well over 6 months from purchase, listened to the description of the fault and said he'd take it down to his tech whilst I had a look around.  I was then given a tour of the new office, shop, firing range, pistol showroom and Air gun showroom.  There was not much in stock at the moment as they're still bringing things up from the Slough premises.  But they had, amongst other things, the Walther WA2000 along with some very nice looking pistols that I had to fight very hard to resist.  I wish I had £780 to spend on a wall hanger.
     
    Had a good 30 or so minutes left to my own devices whilst the nice lady behind the counter helped some dude pick out a pew for his daughter, then the guy came back to say that they could see the problem I was having, and would keep the pew for a few days to fix it as they didn't have another in stock, implying to me, that he would have been happy to give me a replacement - so top marks there.
     
    They also confirmed that once they're finished setting up, they will be doing all kinds of repairs, upgrades, and customisations in house as well as sales.  This should take them another week or two, but i have two or three non essential pews that need attention that no one else seems to be interested in (or that I'd trust), so they'll be heading there once the G36 is proven.  
     
    Sooo....  If one were to take everything at face value, and assuming they fix my RIF, then I am a happy bunny and they deserve all the success after what must be an eye wateringly expensive investment.  Can't blame the shop for a faulty RIF out of the box, but unlike Only Airsoft in Stevenage, where there seems to be an attitude of "warranty is up to them" once you leave the shop, Bespoke seem to just want to keep you happy.  Although to be fair to Only Airsoft, they have honoured the warranty when required - it's just the perception that they give off that is unnecessary.
     
    Certainly can't fault Bespoke for care and attention so far!  Standby for updates.

    Don't worry, we were all noobs once. Dealing with problems is how we learn and improve 😉
    Its either a simple fix or something is broken.
    If it all seems to fit together properly and you can't get it to work then its best to take it to the shop.  25mins is really close, you're lucky there.
    They may not even charge you if its a simple fix.

    Another old thread resurection...(it is nearly Easter after all).
     
    Pretty much had a bike most of my life from my 17th birthday when I bought my first, a Yamaha RS100T (silver), no CBT back then so it got dropped many times, replaced it with a Honda CB125 which I was eventually knocked off it by some guy in a cortina(I still have a dent in my thigh to this day), left my job so bought a boneyard Suzuki GT250 that I rebuilt out of parts from my girlfriends dad's garage, always had to bump start it as the kickstart never worked properly, a few years later I passed my test on a Honda CB125 which I then gifted to a friend & bought a Honda CB900F the very next day, almost killed myself a couple of times on this but it was stolen a few years later. Family dynamics led to my ex & myself both needing transport for work & I got a CB1000F as my commuter(the blue one), soon realised the bike was a luxury so it was garaged for about 6 years, by the time I was able to ride regularly again it was a costly repair so the red CB1000F was it's replacement but not practical for work so a Honda 650 Deauville took on this role.
    Ill health meant I had both CBR's & the Deauville off the rode for many years until I sold the last one around 6 months ago.
     
    Never been a 'biker' but always loved bikes & would happily have a mancave filled with desirables if I had the space... Honda CBX, Kawasaki AR125, Suzuki Katana 100 to name but a few.
