  1. You are doing this to tease me you bugger. I watched the video of how to fit them................................oh dear not me, I would be in a mild state of panic with bits of gun all over the bench. The price is appprox £120 to fit yourself. A cylinder type as shown here is a much easier type to fit, I am advised and I think cheaper but not looked into that as yet. Phil
  2. Thank you Si.........................................did you find your way home ok last night. ? Phil
  3. They will find out themselves but if you lie on your application, it will be regarded as trying to deceive the police which may or may not go against you. Tell them warts and all because they will get to know anyway but as I said before, if I were you, I would ask to have a chat with the firearms officer and show him what you have found out and of course showing him / her that you now have a job and will be getting married having a home...........in other words show that is your past not your current situation and hope for the best. Firearms officers can be very helpful when you approach them
  4. Glad I asked Si because I was never going to come up with that explanation mate. Phil
  5. Si.................what is your avatar, I keep meaning to ask. I have looked at it so many times but cannot work it out. Phil
  6. C S Custom Stocks might have what you want so worth a look. https://www.customstock.co.uk/customshop/ Phil
  7. Thank you Jon for your thoughts mate and to you Jimmy for those kind words my friend. Not quite witching hour just yet but nevertheless I will take this opportunity to wish all my friends on here the very best for the new year .................................... tomorrow you can wish me happy birthday, 21 again...................................................ok, 68 but I look much younger (not a word Si). Have a great night tonight gentlemen and any ladies present. Phil
  8. I totally agree with Rabid. Get all the information relating to your situation then talk to your firearms officer before appliying but hide nothing as they will find out for themselves very easily. Phil
  9. Yes saw this earlier but I am pretty happy with my Impact in all honesty. The spending never stops in getting the latest whizz bang which is fine but not for me. Phil
  10. Tooooo late Si, I have already told Trish this is your idea ? You watch, she will have a go as and when I get one.........................................and she will shoot well, then want one for herself, hmmm better get one put on her ticket as well...? Phil
  11. SD, you might find this to be ideal for your auto, I use this dry lube in both mine and my pals semi auto shotguns as there is no sticky oil / grease to hold excess powder. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/K2-PTFE-Dry-Lubricant-Clear-Teflon-Grease-Spray-NO-SILICONE-Long-Protection/332555554828?epid=1650062920&hash=item4d6ddb100c:g:Q58AAOSwzb5drtjm Phil
  12. Only got one sub 12 , my HW110k but I am toying with selling it because it was bought for a particular council perm that didn't come off so it never gets used and Si has me interested in a centre fire, Hornet / ,223 / .224.......................................hmmm or just go full thrust with a 6.5x55 ? I totally agree with Si, the Impact just keeps on doing the job faultlessly. Phil
  13. Forgive my ignorance SD as I don't shoot foxes but with .22 subs, where is your aim point. Phil
  14. The rfd I bought the Tikka from advised me that whilst they have stock of the Wave mods, they were going back as the build quality was not so good and some returned to them in bits as they were not up to the job. I obviously didn't buy it although this was .22lr and .17hmr where the issues had happened. Sub 12 is of course a different matter but I can only repeat what I was advised with no actual experience of them. Phil
  15. He is a big lad SD, well done and the perm looks interesting. Phil
  16. So nice to walk off the excess xmas food, my turn tomorrow night with a couple of hours sea fishing in the morning. Nice result Stav. Phil
  17. Your Sako has a really nice stock Si but I totally understand the reason for the change over, I might have to talk to you regarding price from your man. I have seen a couple of the Boyds stocks Mitch but I would not put them in the same league as GRS stocks in terms grip diameter, adjustment and real feel of the grip, big difference but you pays your money and take your choice. Phil
  18. Here is the dealer list for the UK Mitch. https://www.grsriflestocks.com/dealers
  19. A number of dealers sell them Mitch however I do not know of any down in your part of the world. This is my rfd who have proved to be a superb company to deal with as they are rifle specialists with a hell of a lot of knowledge. https://www.forestlodgegunswragby.co.uk/ Phil
  20. These are the ones I like Mitch. https://www.grsriflestocks.com/rifle-stocks
  21. I have seen Jimmy's Crown and it does look good and as an FX fan, if I had the wonga, it certainly would not be spent on another HW100, not knocking the gun at all but when you have owned and used FX guns, they just feel different and for me much better but that is me. Back to the point of the thread, would I spend the extra on a laminate stock, well back to having the money and if I did have the money...........HELL YES. I am so careful with my fishing and shooting gear to the point that it all looks like it has just come out of the shop. I enjoy the ownership as well as the using so
