Shortening a barrel can result in differing effects. One of the worst unknowns is how the barrel harmonics are going to be effected. There may be no noticeable difference but a gun that is accurate can be altered so that is F'd. when fired a barrel whips and the bullet needs to exit the muzzle at the mid point of the whip oscillation to be the most accurate and consistent. At one time there was a device like a threaded tube that could be used to tune a barrel to the sweet spot. I added a silencer to my 223 which when fitted converted it from a near one hole group at 100 paces to a gun that

IF THAT IS TRUE and not fake news it is a bit crazy. It's a bit of an unforced error in public relations. When news like this gets out into the public domain you are blowing a trumpet to all of the do gooders and antis out there. They will come down an demonstrate outside which will be front page news.

Of course they are. The lunatics, weak of mind, conspiracy theorists and weirdos are still going to be making pointless unfathomable statements when it comes round to the next election. The thing being is that the world keeps spinning and night follows day and when the next big news story comes along all of this nonsense will have no bearing on anything. Last year we had Brexit with all the fun and games inside and outside parliment with endless votes in parliment. Bercow shouting .... order, order... ordEr. The news crews camped out on Westminster green with that lunatic shouting and

Last summer my brother and I were motoring along a local river when a grass snake was swimming right down the middle of the river in the opposite direction to us. It took no notice of us, the boat or the outboard motor. We moved over out of its way and it continued on its way straight down the middle of the river at quite a pace. It kept its head up vertical about a couple of inches out of the water. What made this tv wildlife pundit an expert.? The adder obviously was unaware of his proclaimed status. Could it be that if the adder was aware of this self proclaimed expert status th

To be honest, I've seen and heard these birds but I've never gotten that close to even think about that there are different ones. It's the same thing with the red kite. The thought never crossed my mind. I'll have to start taking the binos out but generally when I've seen them thyve been at some distance to really see full detail.

Yep buzzards. Never ever saw them down here in Kent up until about 5 years ago. Now there's quite a few around. They circle high up and make a high pitched sort of peew, peew sound. They are quite often seen perching on low branches or out on the sports ground field

Right. I've had back problems like this many times. If this helps you great. Lay flat on your back. Lift one leg at a time up towards the ceiling. You may find that you can lift one leg a lot higher than the other. ... don't force it. this is to identify which side the problem is on.... (not which one hurts). If one lifts a LOT higher than the other, then slowly roll twist in the opposite direction. Keep one leg straight and the other bent. Keep shoulders flat on floor. This relieves pressure on the nerves. Dont go overboard. If it works great if not nothing lost. My Mrs is cracking

Yeah, but that does include a time factor for hob nob dunking though And of course the orgs such as basic who profess to support and protect the shooting community are doing FA about it. In fact if past performance is anything to go by they are actively promoting it. Probably saying that it helps to weed out the nutters and protect the sport from further indiscretions. ,,! The next time you apply the quacks will be charging £200.! Ps if the orgs such as basic ARE doing something about it why aren't they on here keeping us in a loop

Best between cz457 and browning t bolt
Meece replied to Fellman Mark's topic in Rimfire, Centrefire & Shotguns
I am surprised by the amount of people who keep chop changing guns. Two of the son in laws have bought guns second hand really cheaply,, lije give away money that have been virtually unused. One gun had been bought in 1994 but had only ever shot 4 rounds.!! Yes 4 rounds.!! And they had been shot at a block of wood to see it fire. It had all the original packing along with 2 boxes of ammo minus 4 rounds. Thes boxes of ammo had been written on the original bill. Overall they have both bought 4 rifles like this in 17 HMR and 223. People buy them and don't ever use them. My guns are tools not -
I managed to find and kill a couple of fleas on the spaniel. Well it was a good day for the spaniel. Not so for the fleas. Highlight of a rainy day for me. Does that qualify.? ???

Hyper velocity LR & subsonic magnums?
Meece replied to Dervburner's topic in Rimfire, Centrefire & Shotguns
I'll agree with that. I've never seen any brand of high velocity that is consistently accurate. There ain't much point in having an elephant rifle but you can't hit the elephant. A 22lr is very effective and quiet when subsonic in conjunction with a silencer. If more power is required then a hornet or 22 cf. Do you have to remortgage for a box of leadless cartridges.? Ps. Blokes quite often turn up on shoots with lead less cartridges but I've never had the nerve to ask how much these leadless cartridges are to buy. I think that they are going to be the future. Ethically speaking. -
Some counties do some don't. It's not a legal thing it's just another hoop that we are being required to jump through. Of course our orgs .... basic rubbish, who state that they protect our interests are doing sweet FA about it. I was charged £30 last year but son in law has ben told that the doctor is now charging £60 !! The form is just a series of tick boxes and would take about two minutes to tick off. Total rip off. All of it.

Minor problem with that.......... there's a viral pandemic going on ....... everywhere is shut and plod is issuing £1000 fines. I don't think that they would consider touring around looking for a new pad as essential shopping even if there were any shops open. ?
-
Well I found cCleaner and went to play store to download it.. clang. .. the version available isn't optimised for my device.!!!! So it's as you state .... It doesn't matter how much you spend now it will be relatively old hat in 3 years. !!!

Thanks for the replies. All info gratefully received. I've used c cleaner before. The Mrs has just got a new Samsung A10 but I hate the bloody thing. It is quite heavy, thin and shiny ( slippery). On the odd times that I have held it and every time I feel like I'm fighting not to drop it like a bar of soap. Another thing that I don't like is that the edge boundary is very narrow.... the screen comes very close to the edge. When I have used it, suddenly things start happening like the camera comes on..... because I am touching unmarked areas where their are command switches. I like m

I think that me pad has a dose of the covids. It is a Samsung and has ben really good but it can't be updated and has become very sluggish. Been through the system to clear it and check for problems but I think that it's time for it to be replaced. So anyone got any recommendations or don't buy opinions. Looking for something about 7 inch screen. I'm not desparate as I've got an iMac and two laptops to use and this tab is still working albeit a bit sluggish.

Strange how so many don't seem to get with the grips of money and long term stability. Brother in law has just been issued a wedge from his mother's estate. His skank girlfriend who has previously pissed their flat up the wall and dumped him has wormed her way back in and already bought a new car on him. Still he is a grown man and a stupid one. No doubt he'll end up in the gutter somewhere pennyless. I think that they paid about 20 years on their flat and they lost the bloody lot. Indiscipline by both of them. And the penny still hasn't dropped.

Bloody cats, beyond the pale. Shoot the cats first and then the snakes. Oh dont forget to eliminate all those bloody spiders and johovas witnesses. Well you could set the dog on them . Christ Australia is a bloody dangerous place. It's a wonder children get past infancy. Train a dog to bark like buggery at them. Then go over and shoot them.! All---ll of them, take no prisioners. Not the children, well some of them. The little bastads.??
-
Well there you go. There's the green light. Kill them all. !!!! Take no prisioners...... Or destroy their breeding ground, their food, set traps. Its like ammunition reloading. It can become a specialist hobby that can be fun. Anyway we won't tell anyone.????
-
Holy moley. That's awful. Is there a way to control them. does anyone go out and actively hunt the blighters down and eliminate them. ?
-
? 3rd world eh, well we've got running water, electricity, planes, boats and all sorts of stuff. we've even got cheese slices that someone don't like. No pleasing some is there.

" OK, which one of you bastads don't like red Leicester slices then"? ??

As I wrote discussing firearms controls is a complicated and emotional subject. I hate the whole system of firearms legislation and the way that plod interprets the law and worm around the laws for their own ambitions. I hate basic because of the way that they profess to represent the sportsman /shooter but in reality do sweet FA and in a lot of cases actually go against the members interest by agreeing with anti proposals. Third world.. a definition.... Third World - Wikipedia EN.WIKIPEDIA.ORG I cannot see the UK in any way just because a few inner city k

A gentleman destined to show inspiration and duty to our nation in a time of strife. A good innings. At the going down of the sun he will be remembered.

There's no problems in discussing firearms controls ect. In some ways the uk is stricter than the U.S. but in others it is easier, like the vast majority of rifle users have silencers pretty much as standard without any problem or cost. I think that the main difference is that here you don't have the right to possess firearms. Firearms are broken down into two groups. Shotguns and firearms. There are conditions which determine if a gun is in which group. Like you can have a pump or auto with a mag cap of 3 classed as a shotgun but if the mag capacity is more then it Is claßed as a firea
