  1. A trip up the A1 in that case or get a gun dealer to send it for you, I was going to get my rfd to send mine if I decided to go that route. Phil
  2. Look at your other post as I just responded to it. Phil
  3. Track down Mark Dempsey on facebook or someone may have a number but he is a bit of a specialist with P35, I may have mine done but in fairness I only use mine in the garden and not for vermin control, fac for that. Phil
  4. Yes it was a s/s given to me so I was giving it to another friend so that Jimmy could use it when he visited but having never fired it, I had no idea there was an issue, it really was bloody funny to see Jimmy taking the full force of both barrels going off together, I thought he did well to stay upright. ? Phil
  5. Well I can tell you Jimmy, Si has just popped round and we placed the recoil pad in position and he LOVES it so I dare say we will be taking one of the clay traps out this weekend to put both the gun and Si through their paces.
  6. Well you have all seen Jimmy's hard work taking this bloody awful painted stock and turning it into a really nice stock. The stock is from a Winchester o/u shotgun that I got for my son in law to shoot clays and the odd woodie and now the stock has arrived about an hour ago so I just wanted you all to see it back on the gun. The recoil pad is not fitted as yet but simply placed so you can see roughly what it will look like. A huge thanks to Jimmy from both Simon (my son in law) and myself for all the hard work that has gone into this. It must be said that at first I asked Jimmy if he wan
  7. A thread from 2013, you have been busy. Why not just check with the local police. Phil
  8. Welcome aboard Peter. Never come across a Skan so cannot help but depending where in Suffolk you are, I know of a proper gunsmith in Halesworth near Southwold who may be able to help, I am shocking at names but I think it is Richardsons and lovely people they are. Phil
  9. I have also looked a couple of times at these guns but like the others, I have a really accurate HW35 that I never use and keep saying to myself, I will sell it so what is the point of buying another springer. Looks very bice though. It will be interesting to hear how accurate it is. Phil
  10. You will no doubt get a post from villaman soon to tell you about the utter crap known as Daystate which brings me nicely to my point of view, buy an HW100 with an HW mod fitted and enjoy very quiet and accurate shooting or buy a Daystate and embark on a long and miserable journey with the company telling you that whatever is wrong with your gun, they can find no fault and it's your fault anyway............................even under while in warranty. BUY HW or to throw the spanner in the works, an FX which are superb.......................................? If you are buying fac vers
  11. I think the article from Wolfdog regarding Eley is more of a test centre in which case they cannot use guns with dirty barrels as results can only be evaluated with a identical start point. For my own live quarry shooting I am happier with a leaded barrel and my Wildcat Panther mod is quieter with a bit of muck in there not that it needs to be quieter although if on the WMR it is a definite advantage. Phil
  12. Can't beat the thump of the .25 Mitch, roll on next year and I will have another one myself. Phil
  13. Must admit I never clean my .22 Tikka except on it's birthday.......... I use RWS as well and can only sing it's praises, superb ammo and better than anything else I have tried but eley came a close second. Cleaning every time you use the gun is just not a good idea at all..................................................STOP IT ? Phil
  14. Philpot is well chuffed Tom, I just don't see why it was painted dark green in the first place. The Winchester o/u 12 gauge is for my son in law who helps me out a lot AND as the bloody turbo on my Passat estate went this morning he will be helping out some more. I think when the oil has been worked into the stock, it will take on a nice lustre and become a cracking first shotgun. Phil
  15. Well a poor nights sleep, clocks went back and I am looking at the prospect of another day decorating, nearly every room done now and it cannot come tooooooo soon. I do hope you guys are having a better day than me. No posts on here since 14rh of the month so I thought I would get you lot going.........................perhaps. Phil
  16. I have the fluorescent bead / strip on both my Caesar Guerini and on my Browning semi as factory fitted and to be honest, like foxdropper said, you don't need anything BUT given the choice I am happy with the ones fitted to my guns. Beretta use the fluorescent strip/bead sights on all their competition shotguns and I do like them but no they are NOT necessary. Phil
  17. Anyone want to buy a kidney because that is what it would take to buy that Pulsar.......... Phil
  18. As I understand it Mitch, the Pard thermal / nv scope is a thermal spotter scope with a swit to turn it to normal nv although I have not seen the actual spec but I understand it will be here soon. Phil
  19. Not yet but I was advised they will be out in a few months.
  20. I also heard today there is another version Mitch with thermal to find the quarry and at the flick of a switch, it changes to night vision and soon to land on these shores. Phil
  21. You will Tom as I will post some photos when it is back on the action. Phil
  22. I know you are in Leeds but there is a shop in Sheffield called Browns Lock stock and barrel who may be able to help you. Phil
  23. You are right Jimmy it was a cracker and I am going to go for another .25 next year but not sure what gun. Along with another of our members (you know who Jimmy), I rather like the look of the Vulcan 3 and I know a guy on here has listed one in the hunting section, but I won't be doing it until next year otherwise I would be asking to meet up and try it. Phil
