I just used my Combro 625 today. Still works great. I bought it 20 years ago and it still gives great readings on my air rifles. I wish I could buy a second one to have as a backup but I can't find them for sale anymore.
Had one for over a year, and no I've not blown it to pieces, and neither will you if you use it right ! Really useful bit of kit, especially for seeing how different weight pellets perform and that you're Legal !
Great videos just treated myself to a rangefinder for my gun I am really enjoying the fact you don't go for the most expensive items and with your honest reviews it is very easy to come what is best for the airgunner that has not got thousands in the bank. Keep up the excellent work 👍👍
Fantastic review Steve.I have just bought one of these,and at the time of writing this, waiting for it to arrive. You have made alot of things clear so now i have a great understanding of how to set it up. Thanks very much mate.
I’ve had one of these for years a MK 1 still going strong, and in all that time never shot the end off but unfortunately I dropped and broke it today. I went on the combro site and bought the bits to repair it and it came to £7.50 with p&p, these chronos are amazing value and easily repaired.
Bought one of these years ago , it was all. Could afford at the time an " unmentioned " RFD advised me against buying one ,reason being it's inaccuracy , they were WRONG . I've since purchased a CHRONY f1 pro , and the 625 is right in the ballpark accuracy wise . But looking down the barrel too line up the Chrono is a very spooky operation , you just have that " feeling " no matter how many times you've checked / double checked there may be something ready to hit you in the eye ... That would not sting .. I'm 99% sure that you would be dead .. the little plastic locater didn't come with the Chrono originally , but I purchased one as an accessory later .. best couple of quid I've spent ... The new ones ( I understand DO come with locater ) now ... The only problem I had , was the slide you adjust it with ( after loosening he chrome knob ) was really stiff .. minor irritation ,csorted by a drop of lube .. Merry Xmas too you and you wife .. and all subscriber of this channel ... And have a great ( and safe shooting ) New year ..
Nice one Mark, they are good and I too share your concerns about peering down a barrel. Always double and triple check before you do so. Happy Christmas mate to all and family.
Thanks for mentioning the accuracy, that's really mostly all I care about. I'm about to get one of these used and it might just be the perfect device to chrono my airsoft tri-barrel shotgun with. It would usually fire 3 BBs at once but for chronoing it accurately I'd load only 1 BB at a time, but since it's hard to keep the 1 active inner barrel aligned with any other chrono it would sure as hell help to have this thing strapped to the barrel and just shoot through it without having to worry about hitting the chrono.
hi steve,i got one and it was cheap and does the job and i like it,talking about air gun safety about 30 yrs ago my brother was shot with one,his mate was messing about with one, it was loaded and yes it went off from about 2yds away it hit my brother dead center between his eyes, he was taken to hospital and an X-ray showed it about 1inch inside his head, they said it was to risky to operate,and so decided to leave it in, it is still in his head till this day with out giving him any problems,they said he might blow his nose one day and the pellet will drop out.regards john.
I have had one for about 6 mths now it works well , what I do when fitting is I remove my silencer then fit the CB625 to the silencer then refit the silencer back onto the barrel , easy and very safe
bought one for use on my HW97k, saved the day when I fitted replacement spring (told genuine) found it to be well underpowered, had the evidence and got refund next spring purchased fitted and tested bang on when fitted with tinbum short stroke kit plus spring sleeve. now shooting smoothly and accurately at 11.3ft lb . with the cost, easy to set up and use, but more fiddly with the 97 due to under lever having to fit it at angle because of under lever latch housing.
I've just bought a 97, and I'm deffo interested in one of these chrono. But how do you fit it to a 97....? This is all that's stopping me buying one. Any advice or tips would be most appreciated. Cheers. 👍
Just an adjunct, you can now get a std UNF silencer thread adapter from Ebay for the Combro. This means you can set the centre the chrono once and use it on any threaded barrel, much safer!
got the BlueShot - Combro Chronograph to Android interface lead off ebay plugs in to phone. works good with the combro gives you all the data you need.
One thing for sure you can never be too safe! I was clearing my AK & the bolt does not lock back. I was certain the gun was clear as I went to dry fire it there was a round in the chamber & it went through a door & 2 walls. Just cause it's a pellet gun does not mean it can't harm or kill. A .22lr is more dangerous then a higher power cal cause it can ricochet inside the body.
Great review. I always wonder why Combro never made a version with a folding readout panel that can be opened to face the shooter just lke screens on camcorders.
Had one of these for years and I still have both my eyes, just be careful. One thing I like about this chrono is it works in low light. Many r light sensitive. U forgot to mention the thumb wheel for barrel alignment 👍
If you have one of these I highly recommend getting the data lead and using the App on a tablet. Much easier and safer to use and you can enter the pellet weight more accurately.
The £20 Chinese ones off ebay do the job perfectly, they are spot on! It only gives you the pellet speed though so a quick google to convert the ft/lbs
Mate you have done a great video and review. Most of people that has had any injury with them has being due to careless handling. Thanks for the review Steve ;)
Before attaching the unit to your rifle, if you have a silencer take this of first attach chrono to the scilencer then re attach the silencer. Safety is paramount.
You haven't explained the function of the knurled brass screw on the front end. This screw allows you to line up with the barrel by sliding the chrono up an down in front of the barrel attachment and then tighten up when aligned.
If you feel weird about the barrel, just leave the bolt open. I have even used a strong flashlight at either end and see if it lights up something in the the other end before staring down there lol (OK I always do but I feel silly for it). Technically you could still get a lead shaving shot into your face in a crazy rare malfunction I suppose. Definitely not a fatal deal though haha. Your chopstick trick is great too. Good news.. Looks like the cheapos today are made differently with a larger opening so that is cool. No need to have such an exact alignment. Safety third!!
hi steve, i got one of these and i like it, it does the job that its suppose to do, it has four 1.5 button batteries inside = 6volts, i could read your mind when you were trying to put them elastic bands on lol, and do it safely or be sorry.
If it needs to be checked for alignment with a chopstick/knitting needle after setting it with the alignment tool, surely there's no need to buy the alignment tool in the first place?
Agree about need for being sure you don’t get shot. It is down to human error and always fully implementing a secure procedure every time. Idiots will always find ingenious ways to hurt themselves. What I like about is you can get a “Blueshot” lead that sends the shot data to your android device for a permanent record without having to (a) write the fps down and then (b) transfer it into a spreadsheet.
Yes, it is a good system, but has obvious safety issues. In the right hands it is a cracking piece of kit and the accessories to connect to a phone are great as well. Recommended, as long as you are careful.
Hi Steve. Jelly hell... but my´n did´t come with this yellow barrel thing. So I use the straw . But!!!!!! You forgot a big point; this unit don´t work exactly at stronger " springers" ( gas ram)!!!! I have one of this and it just works with one of the no recoil air guns . At my HW 77 k it shows me 640 fps to 980 fps with the same pellet ! I did the test 3 times , any time the same result . I have to use glue to fix it "dern" to the barrel , but my rifle is more important ! Anyway, great video!!!! Thanks
Great review, I will say though that having sold and used these for a few years, they are not always suitable for CO2 cartridge rifles / pistols as the CO2 will cause you to get a false reading, same as the oil from some springers. Maybe you could do a video testing a CO2 pistol / Rifle or a springer with the Combro CB625 vs the Chrony F1 :) BTW, did you get the pellets ok?
Wish I had watched this review first. The 2nd chronograph he showed I have just bought, I was hoping to test all my air guns and rifles. But it seems to be just for airsoft and paint ball. As I haven't been able to get it to work right. The numbers are just wrong. I will Defo be looking at the one in this review to but.
A small chance, but it would certainly smart a bit and hence why I don't like anything that forces you to mess with the pointy end of a rifle, including fill gauges.
@@airgunology thats not a bad idea. I have just purchased one of these direct from combro with the tool for £54 posted uk, i had a quick chat with Robin the owner and a very nice helpful chap a few people on th AGF forum have recomended these as well as saying the after service is very good too. Order before 4pm dispatched same day too.
I understand gun safety I really do but I don’t understand why your so worried about looking down the end of your barrel, if your the only one using your gun and you know there’s no pellets in there what’s the worse that can happen a face full of air lol, an if you got a springer just don’t cock it it can’t fire simple lol. I’ve got one of these myself and I do use the tool provided but I’ll always check visual, slate me if you like but I know my rifles and I know when there loaded or not
Sorry I disagree, mistakes can and do happen. Of course you will be careful, but I would rather not have the unit on the end of a barrel and there are other chrono options out there.
Steve Allan if that’s truly how you feel why waste your money and time if the concept of the idea is ridiculous to you in the first place🤔🤣. Nevermind each to there own... nice work tho m8 I do enjoy watching your stuff
Hi steve my chrono didn't come with the alignment tool after contacting the shop they said it was an extra.Okay i have some experience with air rifles so no problem i will get one or use something else to check,but a new comer into the sport wouldn't think twice thinking just put it on my gun barrel that will do could be a disaster waiting to happen.All these chronos should have the alignment tool as standard i believe the earlier ones didnt have them included which isn't right from a safety perspective.
"Combro warn in their instruction leaflet that excessive muzzle blast can damage the unit, therefore it is not advised to use on rim-fire or centre-fire firearms" 😞
poor boys chronograph. by BT. one telephone directory 2" thick. if the pellets went passed page 20 your weapon was not a toy. all our power was sorted this way. If your pellet went halfway in. you were chuffed and had bragging rights. if the pellet went all the way through you were top dog. but your Dad would take it off you, so you kept quite on that. I do not remember the make of that air rifle that was back in the 50s.
Safety safety safety you should stress how important safety is You mention it 4 or 5 times but should mention safety every 20 seconds or so. SAFTEY FIRST.
Your balance on safety was just fine. If you mentioned every 20 seconds I'd have turned off.Anyone with an ounce of common sense will not take chances at the business end of a rifle. I'm guessing peaky blinder is one of those that sleeps in hi viz pyjamas just to be sure 😂
Lucky you're not in Canada I'd you feel uncomfortable putting your head in front of the barrel, when you take your hunting class here they teach you the safest way to make sure your gun is clear is to look down the barrel lol and that's with real rifles and shotguns
+steve Allen do you know why its under 12ftlb limit ? the reason is you cannot break the sound barrier from sub 12ftlb..you can buy expensive super light pellets but never really make it much past 900fps..230+ fps shy of mach 1. loud noise is the quickest way to annoy people and get into an argument...in the uk we have 6+ million people in dense areas regulary shooting air weapons in back yards...i live on a rough ish council estate and id literally be pissing off everyone in a 400meter+ radius...thats probably several hundred homes putting up we me legally going BOOOOM every 10 secs...id have enough bricks thrown through my window to build an extension after the first days shooting 😆..so to save us from ourselves its sub 12ftlb.. if it was about power my 150lb crossbow would be regulated as its got equal/more power then a live 22short pistol round and some sub sonic 22lr ammo..🙂👍🏻
yeah i could of give you more to work with.. to break mach 1 you would need to get a super light 5gr leadfree tin pellet and sand/pollish as much as you dare to get a 4gr pellet if its even possible...the maths say 11.3fpe will be super sonic but lead free dont deform to the rifling and take almost 1fte just to shift out the barrel compared to lead...its probably possible with a smooth bore barrel with a modded 4gr pellet..smooth bore rifles are usually cheap and not full powered tho..you would have to really go out of your way to legally break the sound barrier... a guy two streets from me killed a lady with a sub12 .22 with a heart shot..hes called david edwards it happen in hull around 2002 ish.. his slow fat .22 pellet made it through a jumper t shirt and a bra and still damaged her heart...and either calibres will deal a fatal headshot all day long at even 9ftlb...Germany know this so limit their guns to 6fpe..but our police just really care about not policing the sound barrier...they would have to force everyone to use silencers and add a set limit that some kid banging on a set of drums might breach...it would be a mess...easy to limit sub sound barrier instead... why else would we still have a limit thats still lethal as f ?
oh yeah he got jail an stuff might still be there..he was a in a wheel chair with a lot of compo money from police running him off a cub 90...he got robbed about 5 times so got a rifle..
Rat, Squirrel, Rabbits and corvids out to about 60m with sub 12 ft lb. If you have a firearm license (FAC) you can have any power air rifle and so same limits as the rest of the world.
WHY ARE WE STILL SEEING THIS BROADCAST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THE PRODUCT IS UNAVAILABLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NONE ANYWHERE, NOT MADE !!!!! GET IT !!!!!! ZILCH!
the only thing I don't like about it is that you're talking too much and not showing it how it works you need to shoot it so people could see how it works accuracy

mmmm, careful, 1 pellet instead of 3 with not give you accurate readings for 3 pellets.
@@airgunology Yes, it will, since each of the 3 BBs is fired from a separate barrel-cylinder-piston system.

Ouch, sometimes people forget the pointy end can REALLY hurt.
I hope when he does blow his nose it's below 12 fp just to keep it legal
Great content, excellent clearly understood instructions. I was really impressed with your emphasis on gun safety. Thank you Steve; top man.

Yes, seen and people have mentioned. Makes life easier and thanks

Thanks for the review, decided to order one instead of spending twice as much on a caldwell
Good choice!
Just bought 1 of these cb 625 steve a great idea.The alignment tool a great idea.
Thanks buddy :)
Great review. I always wonder why Combro never made a version with a folding readout panel that can be opened to face the shooter just lke screens on camcorders.
nice idea, probably too difficult and expensive to produce.
That's really handy for the money. Good idea to keep reminding people about safety first. Cheers.
Thank you, don't forget our FB group facebook.com/groups/351221505224875/
Had one of these for years and I still have both my eyes, just be careful. One thing I like about this chrono is it works in low light. Many r light sensitive.
U forgot to mention the thumb wheel for barrel alignment 👍
oops yes I did. I didn't need to mess with the wheel so so totally missed it.
Thanks for this Steve. I was only looking at these at lunchtime. 👍
Nice one, glad it helped. Happy Christmas :)
Thanks for this review, your video’s are very honest and useful thank you for taking the time.
If you have one of these I highly recommend getting the data lead and using the App on a tablet. Much easier and safer to use and you can enter the pellet weight more accurately.
Yes good call. I didn't have one on this loaner from a subscriber.
Thanks Steve, wife is getting me one for Xmas, cheers mate.
DrTeno Guy nice one. Enjoy buddy
The £20 Chinese ones off ebay do the job perfectly, they are spot on! It only gives you the pellet speed though so a quick google to convert the ft/lbs
Mate you have done a great video and review. Most of people that has had any injury with them has being due to careless handling. Thanks for the review Steve ;)
Thanks, i can imagine some people have not been as careful as they should have been. Common sense really.
Before attaching the unit to your rifle, if you have a silencer take this of first attach chrono to the scilencer then re attach the silencer. Safety is paramount.
Good idea if you can remove silencer.
I think I'll go for an FX chronograph as I like the idea of simply pairing it to the mobile and no annoying buttons.
You haven't explained the function of the knurled brass screw on the front end. This screw allows you to line up with the barrel by sliding the chrono up an down in front of the barrel attachment and then tighten up when aligned.

It is a very popular and good little chrono. A little awkward to fit, but once you get the hang of it, no issues.
cheers Steve just ordered after watching review. Wanted to order off amazon using your link but theyre not available on amazon now unfortunately.
Shame, plenty of other places to find them, thanks for trying and good luck.
If it needs to be checked for alignment with a chopstick/knitting needle after setting it with the alignment tool, surely there's no need to buy the alignment tool in the first place?
true, the alignment tool is their way of aligning it. I use a pen or chopstick.

This is the best chrono for the novice and semi experienced
I would agree, simple and easy to use.
I have been after one of these for ages but you cant seem to get them anywhere now. It`s a shame as they look just the job

Thanks buddy, Never played with higher power rifles and the cb625, so thanks for mentioning this to everyone.
I use a fishing coaster to attach the combro to gun , never moves even on spring guns
I've got one of these a few years ago but it never came with the alignment tool!
No mention of one in the instruction leaflet either.
It can throw off your harmonics on your barrel by attaching a weight into the Barrel. So your gun won't shoot as accurate.
Great review, I will say though that having sold and used these for a few years, they are not always suitable for CO2 cartridge rifles / pistols as the CO2 will cause you to get a false reading, same as the oil from some springers.

Makes sense, thanks for pointing that out to the viewers.
Never had a false reading when I was tuning my QB78DL, used my Combro and never had a problem.
Can t find these for sale any where now
Google is your friend buddy. Search for CB625 chrono
I have just been given one of these (not tried it yet). Is there a way of getting the results from the Combro onto paper, a printout?
Yes it has a connector for a computer. You need to buy the lead and software separately.
@@airgunology Thanks, I'll have a look and see if I can get one.

Thanks buddy and same to you and family. Never played with the gen 2 sticks, but I really like the look of them.
Nice one Steve,very informative,i think its a case of you pays your money & take a chance.
yup, absolutely as with most things in life.
I can not find him on internet I want to buy this one
Will this be OK for PCB Target pistols Steve
so, the max ft/lb it can measure is 50? Probably not for higher powered airguns right.
I believe so yes.
Great video. Thanks for safety information. You can never be to safe (Health and safety first.)
Thanks mick, if I don't do the H & S thnik, TH-cam warriors would jump down my throat :)
nice one Steve , my other `alf is getting me one for xmas , good timing ( no pun intended )
Hope you enjoy, nice kit, just be careful with it.
Steve Allan
And make sure the plastic locater is with it ..
will do
does it matter if you calibrate it or leave it at 100.
15:32 I'm worried about the pellet going through the eye and into the brain...depending on the angle
A small chance, but it would certainly smart a bit and hence why I don't like anything that forces you to mess with the pointy end of a rifle, including fill gauges.
Safety idea 🙂 Unscrew the silencer, fit the Combro to the silencer, then screw the silencer back on the gun!
Nice way of doing it.

The unit was borrowed from a subscriber for the review :) I use a LMBR chrono as my daily.
9:43 that symbol means all four censors are blocked...In your case The large yellow guide lol.
Ah thanks :)
just take your silencer off then fit it to your silencer and then refit it
Yes that works if you can remove it.
Is the combo 625 any good
Yes
What's the price ? Not available on amazon
So where can you get one?
Why they don't have a better idea for alignment elastic bands great idea mate it works so to hell with it.
no easier way i am afraid.
Hi steve my chrono didn't come with the alignment tool after contacting the shop they said it was an extra.Okay i have some experience with air rifles so no problem i will get one or use something else to check,but a new comer into the sport wouldn't think twice thinking just put it on my gun barrel that will do could be a disaster waiting to happen.All these chronos should have the alignment tool as standard i believe the earlier ones didnt have them included which isn't right from a safety perspective.
I've seen Mr racknload using the 1st boxy one you showed and disparaged,seems to work ok for him ,each to their own I guess .
I have multi chronos and have reviewed them. I use the box XC3000 and the F1 chrono as they are my personal favorites. Nice to have choice.
Wow I thought American gun laws sucked, Thanks for reminding me why America struggles to stay free.
Yeah it is a shame we have these laws
Is it accurate?
Yes as close as other chronos I have tested
No matter what i do with mine, it just comes up with battery error.
Is it possible to attach this to an air pistol?
might be, depends on the length and shape of the barrel. If it fits it will work as just measuring speed of pellet.
"Combro warn in their instruction leaflet that excessive muzzle blast can damage the unit, therefore it is not advised to use on rim-fire or centre-fire firearms"
😞
i had one a the pellet hit it so a crap idea
Happens a lot and hence the freely available spares. Personally I don't like the idea of attaching to the end of the rifle.
TApellet did not hit it. YOU shot it.
Christ, man. You list EVERYTHING except...!!! Sure would have been nice for you to have included a link for the item being reviewed.
Carp, sorry, I totally forgot to link it. Will do it now. Sorry
Done now, apologies
Ha ha you're more likely to take an eye out with those bloody elastic bands... seriously tho I'm gonna order one o these . Cheers
True, but worth mentioning
Good vid , safety first , just be carfull , getting one for cirstmass curtesy of the boss " wife " , thumbs up .
nice, enjoy :)
Iv sent you an email Steve ( with regards to shooting together) 👍🏻
thanks buddy, got it, just haven't had time to reply.

No rush Steve, just letting you know.
Why would one bother to buy a chrono' for Airsoft?? They're for plinking & Fun shooting.
poor boys chronograph. by BT. one telephone directory 2" thick. if the pellets went passed page 20 your weapon was not a toy. all our power was sorted this way. If your pellet went halfway in. you were chuffed and had bragging rights. if the pellet went all the way through you were top dog. but your Dad would take it off you, so you kept quite on that. I do not remember the make of that air rifle that was back in the 50s.
Get get the old skool, but not very scientific now is it
Trigger inhibit switch
Safety safety safety you should stress how important safety is
You mention it 4 or 5 times but should mention safety every 20 seconds or so.
SAFTEY FIRST.
Yup and then there are those that complain I bang on about it. Such a fine balancing point when producing videos for the masses.
Your balance on safety was just fine. If you mentioned every 20 seconds I'd have turned off.Anyone with an ounce of common sense will not take chances at the business end of a rifle. I'm guessing peaky blinder is one of those that sleeps in hi viz pyjamas just to be sure 😂
Lucky you're not in Canada I'd you feel uncomfortable putting your head in front of the barrel, when you take your hunting class here they teach you the safest way to make sure your gun is clear is to look down the barrel lol and that's with real rifles and shotguns
Sounds fun : NOT. I hate anyting that make you look at the pointy end, including pressure gauges.
So you dont pull it off with your teeth then? I been doing it wrong.
Lol :)
Belts and brasserie s,
+steve Allen do you know why its under 12ftlb limit ? the reason is you cannot break the sound barrier from sub 12ftlb..you can buy expensive super light pellets but never really make it much past 900fps..230+ fps shy of mach 1.
loud noise is the quickest way to annoy people and get into an argument...in the uk we have 6+ million people in dense areas regulary shooting air weapons in back yards...i live on a rough ish council estate and id literally be pissing off everyone in a 400meter+ radius...thats probably several hundred homes putting up we me legally going BOOOOM every 10 secs...id have enough bricks thrown through my window to build an extension after the first days shooting 😆..so to save us from ourselves its sub 12ftlb..
if it was about power my 150lb crossbow would be regulated as its got equal/more power then a live 22short pistol round and some sub sonic 22lr ammo..🙂👍🏻
No sure whether to believe this or not ????
yeah i could of give you more to work with..
to break mach 1 you would need to get a super light 5gr leadfree tin pellet and sand/pollish as much as you dare to get a 4gr pellet if its even possible...the maths say 11.3fpe will be super sonic but lead free dont deform to the rifling and take almost 1fte just to shift out the barrel compared to lead...its probably possible with a smooth bore barrel with a modded 4gr pellet..smooth bore rifles are usually cheap and not full powered tho..you would have to really go out of your way to legally break the sound barrier...
a guy two streets from me killed a lady with a sub12 .22 with a heart shot..hes called david edwards it happen in hull around 2002 ish..
his slow fat .22 pellet made it through a jumper t shirt and a bra and still damaged her heart...and either calibres will deal a fatal headshot all day long at even 9ftlb...Germany know this so limit their guns to 6fpe..but our police just really care about not policing the sound barrier...they would have to force everyone to use silencers and add a set limit that some kid banging on a set of drums might breach...it would be a mess...easy to limit sub sound barrier instead...
why else would we still have a limit thats still lethal as f ?
oh yeah he got jail an stuff might still be there..he was a in a wheel chair with a lot of compo money from police running him off a cub 90...he got robbed about 5 times so got a rifle..
Sorry meant to say chose not come 😉
combro worst thing in airguning you will buy the mount can't take the opening and shuting of your brake B. airgun and will brake
10 Ft. Lbs.? How Boring. I'm shooting 40 Ft. lbs. at 25 cal. Get a new government that trusts it's citizens.
We can’t even be trusted with a kitchen knife in the `UK.

why you want us to thumb down :D 17:48
thumbs up or down, your choice. It adds more interaction to the video and hence helps it be found on TH-cam.
I guess in the UK you can only kill a rat/squirrel just so much...
Rat, Squirrel, Rabbits and corvids out to about 60m with sub 12 ft lb. If you have a firearm license (FAC) you can have any power air rifle and so same limits as the rest of the world.
Over$100.00 U.S.
depends on where you buy it. Search aournd. Can be had for about $80
Ebay, much cheaper
WHY ARE WE STILL SEEING THIS BROADCAST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THE PRODUCT IS UNAVAILABLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NONE ANYWHERE, NOT MADE !!!!! GET IT !!!!!! ZILCH!
I lost my right eye with this gadget
Really or trolling ? Serious question.
A clever person would just screw the silencer off fit it and not worry about safety then 😂
the only thing I don't like about it is that you're talking too much and not showing it how it works you need to shoot it so people could see how it works accuracy
That is just me, always rattling on.
Steve Allen is talking a load of bull shit
who cares about legal
Sorry to hear you live in communism, sounds nuts not to have over 12 ft lbs.. good video though ..
This is for grownups only
hahahaha
Alan you talk a lot of shit
Since u got my name wrong, I will get yours wrong too. Thank you CNUT, I feel soo much happier now. Hope you do too. What a tossed.
