  1. Ohhhhhh how sad, mind you it's no good Billy, I ain't got any spare cash anyway. Story of my retired life ?? Phil
  2. That is a thing of beauty and could not get rid of one for any price. That would make a lovely bell target rifle for sure. Phil
  3. Ratworks is in Leicester area so just send it off and they will do a good job but phone Phil Crampton first so he can give you an estimated time for the work. Phil
  4. I am just over the river from you Mark and can tell you that there are plenty of opportunities but yo need to find them. Try to take a different approach not going for the same old thing, pigeon and rabbit shooting, try crow and rat problems which a farmer may have or feral pigeon crapping on farm vehicles, try industrial units where feral pigeon might be a pest........................ in other words look outside the box because everyone will be going for the same thing. One other thing, ask everybody you know and I mean everyone because it is surprising how many people know or have a r
  5. My shooting partner runs our village tip and from time to time he gets some very useful stuff. Yesterday was such a day with a chap taking in a large rolled up tank netting parcel which will go onto our new perm for two permanent hides and another chap took in 6, 3 x 3'' powder coated aluminium tubes 48'' long with aluminium end caps so a new set of squirrel feeders will be produced from those. Today I got a call from Chris to say he had some more stuff. Well this one is different, he gets quite a few old springers in which he does a bit of reno on but this one is a bit odd to say the l
  6. The connector arrived today but alas it was for the Magnum mod so that will be going back on Tuesday, hopefully I will get the right one soon. While is the shop I was playing with a s/h Wildcat Mk1 or 2 that took my fancy, if money allowed, however it had a Huggett Bellita mod fitted (same as I have) and this was super quiet so I picked up an hw100 to compare it with the hw mod, NO DIFFERENCE.............................well that surprised me after hearing the comments about the Huggett. I was not able to transfer the mod onto the HW100 to test on that gun as it had the connector for the
  7. Me too, I was in Louth only yesterday and was thinking about this but I assume someone picked up on the post very early, never mind as we picked up another 1400acres perm so happy days. Phil
  8. I have no idea Mitch as I have never used it, just one that seemed to turn up in my spares drawer and as it is only for use in the garden, I am not that bothered. If I am not happy with it, I will buy an HW mod so time will tell. I will send you a pm shortly mate. Phil
  9. Some good will out there as my rfd phoned Huggett today and Andrew Huggett said he would post the connector at no charge. Good result me thinks and a big thank you to Andrew Huggett. Phil
  10. Right boys, I am asking you lot to check in your bits and pieces drawer as I am on the scrounge. My Snowpeak / Artemis P35 is needing another mod (long story so I won't bother) and I have given most of the spare mods I had away BUT I have one of those love it or hate it mods, the Huggett which has a screw fitting that fits something but I have no idea what, Soooooo I am looking for another adaptor, either 1/2'' unf female as per the most common mods as I have an Eagle AMP-3 adaptor to fit the P35 thread and a 1/2'' male outer thread OR a Huggett fitting to P35 adaptor directly. I am not abl
  11. On what grounds is it suggested that woodpigeon are protected, this smells like the working of the idiot Packman. Wouldn't it be interesting to establish if the bright sparts who came up with this idea were to actually talk to groups of farmers or the National union of farmers or the Country Landowners Assoc etc etc etc. I have had two calls today from farmers asking for a little help with a pigeon problem.................................................give me strength. Phil
  12. May your mother and father soon be married.........................................................the truth can really hurt ? Phil
  13. I often go to Louth so a session on rats to help this lady out is not an issue, do you have contact details please. Phil
  14. Buy a tin of JSB TEST which is an assortment of pellets from the range and I think you will find what you need there as well as saving a load of cash. Voymir sell them Phil
  15. They closed down but there is a guy on face book who took over all their stock and spares. you can find them under ' nitesite plastic and electronic spares ' Phil
  16. Not on mine but as Villaman says contact Mark Dempsey in your region who is the guru for these guns. Phil
  17. My wife's gun came with a mod already fitted and can be changed to whichever barrel is being used. Phil
  18. I watch with great interest. Phil
  19. Those eyes are saying........................OH yes so you think you can take it off me....................grrrr, just try it.? Phil
  20. Yes but Mark thinks springers are good when really there are crap.....................................................................................................well I haven't had a slapping for a while ???
  21. One thing that struck me was the adjustable stock is a bit wobbly which does mean getting your face firmly set on the stock in the same position is not so easy. I think the NP02 is a better gun IMHO Phil
