Hi guys, I have not been as regular on the forum lately and have spent a while reading up the later posts, and I must be getting too old for this mularky as I got depressed as I had missed so much, sorry to everyone, I will try to keep up, honest

Asd I havent been on for a while I thought I'd update you as to where I am at. In a moment of isolation I went down the dark path and got into .177 stuff and got rid of a lot of my Hatsans. Well the light is shining again and I have re-invested in Turkey's finest.

These are, from top to bottom.
A pair of AT44's one .177 and a .22 both with MTC 10x44scb Scopes
A Hatsan Striker 1000s .25 (had to get another)
A mk1 Mod 55
My original Mod55s
A mk1 Mod60

Not had the best of luck healthwise lately as had a operation to correct a "pliodonal Sinus" and could have done without the surgery. On the way back to full health now but have a backside that looks like a stand in on a Frankensien movie.

You just had to get another striker =)  I watched your video on the wooden, 12 FPE version and I liked it enough that I subcribed to your channel.  I was so happy to see them in .25 in wood at AGD!  I am dying to get my hands on a .25 Striker 1000x.  I live in the U.S.A. so it's gonna be the full power version, but I intend to get one and de-tune it with a Quest/B19 spring (like Brutuz' video) for the fun factor.

I have to hold my hands up and tell you, that, I had watched the youtube vid' again and got all nostalgic, and misty eyed lol, so I decided I had to get another one. I did regret selling on the one I had. So I found this (1000s) one on another forum I use and so it winged its way to me for £80. I could not resist it and for that sort of money I doubt anyone else would have. As I have said before I am not a fan of synthetics stocks and, frankly, I am still not a fan. I do find it easy to shoulder but it does move the centre of gravity futher forward, so I will be on the look out for a wooden one. I may have a go at fabricating my own stock, we'll see how that develops.

Gary,  the guns look great.  I love my Striker 1000x walnut stock (loves the HN FTTs 5.53mm), I am not to crazy about the Valuemax synthetic stock, but I'll live with it for now.   Can you post or send me a link for your youtube video?

Cheers,
John
