Give me an idea here guys.....
« on: December 29, 2008, 10:57:47 AM »
I had an order of B-26's come in today and there was a minor screw up...I now have 4 D-18 Canadian Hunters that were returned to Xisico , all the boxes are marked B-26 so I figure thats why I got them...even have the B-26 manuals in them. They all cock and shoot OK but have scratches on the stocks so I figure thats why they got sent back, what should I do with them? Sell them for the cost of shipping, have a contest and give them to the winners or what?????? there are three .177's and one .22, tell me what to do....

I had a bunch of these last spring and they do respond good to a lube job, big problem is getting the trigger to lighten up, a little polishing and some moly and they get down in the 4 lbs range...it's a fancy B-11

I second Eds post & have a question. Is a D-18 a B-26 with lower velocity or is there more differences?

They are much different, I think they are a copy of the RWS 24 which hasn't been in production for quite awhile..

Have a Drawing....Take every participating member of the site (might take a while) and randomly pull a name. If the winner wants the gun, have him/her pay shipping.

If they are like the RWS 24's, those are pretty nice shooters. I have had the opportunity to tune a couple of them and they sure are sweet..:)

The questions are on his web site, under the announcements. Darn tough ones too. I did a search here and that place that shall be un-named and got nothin'. Maybe I didn't use the right keywords. Good Luck all.

Say Mike:

You didn't serve on the Cacafuego did you?  Oh yeah, that's right.  No submarines to tend in those days.  Once the ship of the line became a submarine, there wasn't much tending going on.

Wait!  I remember the answer!   It's " The Royal" !!!

PS:  have you read all of Patrick O'Brian's seafaring novels?  If not, you are in for a treat.
