Received my birthday present from Ian......Omg am totally blown over a stunning Air Arms TX 200 in .177. This beautiful weapon will be my daily shooter on our Hot Air range, thank you again to my amazing family. Look forward to seeing you at the range.

[@ianwoods1384]

Hello Gentlemen, Thank you again for your efforts in giving us another edition of Hot Air. I really enjoyed your chat, your opinions, and what you really genuinely think about airgun matters. Thank you very much also for profiling those beautiful RAW/Theoben pcp air rifles. Growing up and in my young life, I was never allowed around air rifles. I used to secretly look at my dad's Airgun World before he arrived home from work, replacing his copy exactly as I found it. I loved reading about Dave Theobald and Ben Taylor. How they brought in Theoben pcp air rifles with cocking levers and magazines and later pioneered gas ram air rifles. I just thought how fantastic these two ordinary British gentlemen were making the most fantastic British air rifles. What a story. At the other end of the scale, I was saddened when I heard they weren't operating any more in 2004. Fast forward a few years, and here they come again! It's so nice to hear you speak well of them. I'd read reports that their new range wasn't as expected. However, listening to you guys is so heartening. If anyone is fancying a brand new RAW air rifle, I think there's a good reason to their expense. I think they go through much more testing and quality control than what would be deemed as normal and that will come at a cost. I think you gentlemen could have persuaded those sat on the fence to follow their dream and passion, and I don't think they'll be disappointed, one little bit. Yes, it's a lot of money, but what a beautiful piece of kit to own! Thank you again, gentlemen, and well done! Great show!!

NICE SHOW GUYS WELL DONE

[@philipbooth9755]

Loving every episode Guys, so honest and refreshing to watch, keep it coming. You mentioned a Stalker cheetah? I’m lucky and have a one off .177 version with Sporter non- TH stock. 🙂

[@russellham2094]

Nice stock Keep up the good vids guys 👍

[@paulbeese2665]

great show guys you bounce off each other with ease really relaxed always waiting for the next show with anticipation,onwards and upwards,

[@hotair4269]

Thank you mate :)

[@sunnst]

Stunning looking stock,would look good on any rifle,a real credit to the guy who's making these. Looks like your collaboration with different suppliers will indeed help produce a truly one off that's worth owning.

[@Floody2010]

Another cracking show. I've been looking forward to the Venom show for yonks.

[@paultowns9880]

Great video. Looking forward to the collaboration and a review of the RAW. Give Rosie a pat. Take care.

[@KennJones-l7l]

Great show guys as usual I must agree with you about the rise wood stock really nice I made a walnut stock for a airsporter gun I had knocking around that had a beach stock that had been well battered and as I’ve never tried to make a stock befor I copied the beach stock it took me an age to make and fit so I can only imagine how long that took to make and out of rosewood as well just mind blowing.

[@ianwoods1384]

Hello Sir, It's very difficult to come by Rosewood now. I think it's classed as an endangered species, and it doesn't grow fast enough to be plentiful. I was looking for a piece of Rosewood, though I changed my mind and chose Wenge Wood. This wood is sourced from the region of Equitorial New Giunea and The Congo. I'm just beginning to make a laminated gunstock, laminated, using Wenge Wood and Ash, using hand tools. I'm finding the Wenge Wood to be very hard and soon bluntens tools. Best wishes, Ian

[@PeterLawrence-x6u]

Are the hot air guns going to be just that hot air that is kept in a posh wood and glass cupboard, or will they be something you will be proud of taking out of your gun bag and using. If it is the latter of which I hope so, then that will give you the answer about how you present the gun to the owner. 🎉

[@CarlJohn-g5g]

Can’t wait to see what you guys come up with looking forward to seeing the rifles

[@perki496]

That rosewood stock is amazing considering its completely hand made! a shame about the range being delayed and another cracking video 👍

[@Getting-Older]

Nice video. Really looking forward to seeing the colaboration results.

[@DavidFisher-fq2wh]

Great show guys! Just curious, will the “Hot Air Customs” be available for the US?

[@hotair4269]

It will purely depend on export taxes etc :)

[@DavidFisher-fq2wh]

@@hotair4269 ok Thanks 👍. Will you take my first born as a deposit? 🤣😆🤣 j/k again great show guys. I love the content ❤️

[@carlsmith8583]

Great show guys, lovely stock, could he build a stock like that for a mk1 rapid 7 at all, I would be interested thanks

[@hotair4269]

Hi Carl, I don’t see why not. We will ask the stock maker

[@carlsmith8583]

I like what your doing but can you get some help with setting up your sound or buy a better microphone 👍

[@hotair4269]

Thank you mate :) we just need to get to grips with the mic’s mate. It’s a proper learning curve for us

[@fatphunker]

@@hotair4269 I know expert but the acoustics in your room may be playing into the poor sound
