2 x 6kg propane bottles. 1 half full and the other full. Perfect for family camping. My mate gets them. They are dumped outside a different gas supplier next to his unit. He gets a few full ones each month!

My life for such a small useable size! I only get 47Kg ones and they're so heavy to lug about

Ah, here am I wanting the big 47kg ones!

Interesting, never seen a Quicktest block before; but then, I'm just a tourist.
Looks like a handy item.

very handy for testing all sorts of gear specially when your testing anything that isn't fitted with a lead or plug . just connect temp wire to the appliance

make an adaptorand hose turn the 47 kg bottle upside down and fill the smaller one from it

 

[Shox Dr]

And what pray tell give one that ability?

 

[Jim Davey]

I like that,recently got a weirauch(?)hw35 at auction, can get within an inch of bull at 75 feet with open sights but used tripod rest, would prefer air charged though for quietness...
so what make is it Jim?

It is a Weirhauch HW100 .177 indeed. Lovely piece of kit. I'd have liked to buy it with open sights then upgrade to a scope later on, however there's no iron sights as standard as it's assumed 99% of shooters will want a scope on a rifle like that. But I can see this being a hobby that sucks you in and I suspect one rifle will become two before long...

So maybe I'll get a basic springer next for getting my eye in on open sights.

My eyes are not good enough for that, well I'll see after I admit defeat and visit the opticians.

Gah!

47Kg and forklift ones for me. I actually want a wee one to refill to use for my torch. Can you swap a big one for a little one or do they bend you over for a deposit again?

 

[Tinbasherdan]

Can recommend the air arms tx200 gas ram for a "Spring" rifle. Accurate, well made and not too heavy. I've always had weihrauch springers, had a hw77 under lever and a hw80k break barrel , but I like a heavier rifle

 

[Badger1bear]

Pop along to your local burger wagon Darren, if they dont have a moody gas supplier who makes bottles dissappear I would be very surprised ;-)

I had the Air Arms 410s with the 10 shot mag, deadly quiet and very accurate. I used a divers tank to fill it up from the local dive shop, think it was about £10 for a full scuba tank of surface air

 

[Jim Davey]

Yeah, I think I need to have a friendly chat with the local diving company. Fill ups are only £2.00 at my range or £1.00 if you've paid for a session to shoot there or are a member. So it's pretty cheap but if I'm out and about or want to fill up at home then I'll want a bottle of my own at some point.
I do like the idea of a non PCP as a lower hassle alternative.

Some will swop but most won't. Stupid rule.

Deposits here unfortunately when we change bottles, but I've slowly found one or two I can keep from here and there.

Now you might even learn how to move forward to the real things and venture into rimmies...

Tempting, but I can't see myself using something like that often. And the rigmarole of FAC puts me off.
Plus, with an air gun, I can set up a target in my own back garden if I like. Not something I'd be able to do with a real gun.

Don't kid yourself. They're real OK

 

[Jim Davey]

Don't get me wrong, I take it very seriously, it's a dangerous weapon and no mistake.

My eyes arent good enough,had the specs on...
