That is always assuming that you are equipped with a spade. If I were in the position. I would blast a bat at close range with the shotgun and then rat gnaw the bat with my knife. Needs must when the devil drives. ?

So. Why is everyone talking about game ( phesant) carriers. What's wrong with cutting a pole branch down and carrying the RABBITS hamstring on that over the shoulder and if there's THAT many between two people like a stretcher. Somewhere I've got a foto of brother in law and other with about 40 rabbits on a pole

Mannlicher 243 mint condition

I've got a Luxus Stutzen. Really high quality finish to wood and the depth of colour blacking. Oh I forgot its a tack driver also. -
Reading through the posts on this thread, you blokes must have some pretty vivid imaginations. The comments resemble a middle age witch hunt. Fair enough The couple shouldn't have left The child alone but it's easy to be clever in hindsight. It isn't anything that we would ever have done and my Mrs would have forgone dinner if that was the case. The guy in Germany has NOT been charged at all.... YET. In Portugal there is a law that potential suspects have to be named before 15 years are out. The Germans have this guy inside and he is a real weirdo whose movements fit the bill to a T AND i

Just powder residue.

That really surprises me. How is it acting as a silencer when it must be completely filled up with powder residue I've a couple of different silencers one being a standard parker hale and both of them get clogged up with powder residues after about 500 rounds of differing makes and types of ammunition . silencing effect drops to zero and basically it just becomes a barrel weight. The powder residue builds up like the silencer has been filled up with polyfilla. Even after 500 rounds it becomes difficult to dissmantle the thing. The individual baffles get filled and almost cemented in. The

Various things that can do this sort of thing. One being sights that are loose. This can lead to a few shots hitting a point and then jumping somewhere else. Another being leading in the barrel. this can cause bullets to group for a few shots then jump off somewhere else and then move back again for a while to another place. Now this is a bit of a can of worms. Most 22lr barrels don't need any cleaning and I've known target rifles that haven't been cleaned for more than 20 years. When I've cleaned target barrels they can take anything up to 50 rounds through them to settle back down t

So you got ejaculated from their house. So what did you do to get back on-board again.? ...... only to get ejaculated for LIFE. You must be serious bad men to get life.??

Over the years I've had several scopes donated to me for fun experimentation. Some wouldn't hold zero (most), a few had been dropped and had the objective bell bent. The most difficult ones have had the crosshairs broken by recoil etcetera. If only you could but crosshair elements the job would be simple. I have fabricated crosshairs but it it difficult. Very difficult. If/when I had access to a nitrogen cylinder I would give the tube a squirt but I didn't notice any problem with the ones that were just natural air. Some scopes would have been loads better if the lenses had been clean
-
Yeah, yeah, yeah but did it still hold zero.? Just me. I hate scrapping stuff like an old friend.
-
If the water got in there, get it out. Get the scope off of the rifle and dry it out. If,, you've got the ability to remove and replace the objective lens in the same place ( an easy job ) the whole tube is open and could be dried out quite easily and quickly. Failing that buy anotherl

The link only opens in some sort of code.?

Nah, They're going to put them on special licence. Those plastic knives are lethal you know. They cut chicken legs like a hot knife through butter. They are going to have to be individually numbered and kept under secure conditions. If one snaps you're going to have to take it in to get a replacement. One for one issue. What happens when some bloke is walking back from a garage to his car with a gallon of petrol.? Dangerous stuff petrol. And a whole gallon.!! Ban petrol cars. ....... what's that you say. .? They are going to ban petrol.

I try to not watch all of the junk. ( most of tv ) just recently I've been reloading and watching late at night. there are some really good programs on later /early morning but I suppose most of the Muppet / sheep population wouldn't be able to get the brain cell around these.
-
And if they don't go bang you can always rotate the case and give em another go or two or three. If they haven't performed by that, snap the bullet out, pour the powder into a pile and put a match to the pile. Sport one way or another.
-
Well.. did you shoot them, offload them or what.... we bought a quantity of 22rf from an auction. Some were green print boxes and some red print. We found that the brass cased rounds fire ok and are quite accurate. Perhaps not Olympic standard but accurate enough for 50 paces. The copper cased ones don't generally fire. The primer compound seems to have degraded by the copper case and don't ignite. (Generally,) even after turning the case several times. ). The brass cased ones all fired ok. The powder is ok though if the tip is pulled and a match applied to the powder. They're not da

I can imagine the gendamerie looking at that load of scrawl with a kid's crayon and saying..... ( in pigeon French like the French... Alo.Alo policeman). .. what is theese.? Edit... how come that if plod can just write entries on there so can you.? In theory you could go to another country get a weapon, bring it back here, erase that weapon from the cert and you'd have an off ticket weapon. It ain't going to happen but,,,,,,
-
It's got to be sods law. When its happened I've even walked out the hide and across the field to see if I can see the hide. My mate has even watched the hide if he could see any movement. Still another and more galling thing is when they've been on the field yesterday and you go and set up only for the birds to overfly the pattern out of shot range and sail on into the distance. I remember one particular time when I went back to the car, got the binoculars out and watched the birds fly on for about good mile and land on a field. Unfortunately not a field that I would get access to. I

This is about the same for me. One time On renewal of my cert I asked for an extra silencer and was told that I couldn't have another one on my cert because I could just use the one that I'd got on the other rifles.! On the next renewal the FOE was totally the opposite. He suggested me having a different silencer for every rifle and a spare slot in case I wanted tò get something different. They just make it up as they go along. The trouble is that no one has got the want or the balls to sort stuff like this out. They renewed my European firearms pass just a few months before Brexit. It'

The situation that we now face is down to apothy from the sporting community and mainly the shooting organisations. The time I realised this was at a game fair when basic were there represented by a couple of Gillies and a young bloke who was more of a car salesman. All they were interested in was trying to get people to take out a basic credit card. When I did see someone who looked more like a country squire in a driven shoot than a bloke who went rabbiting and pigeon shooting. All that occupied his attention was the new range rover is basic livery he was showing off to some other bloke

It's strange that only yesterday I dropped round to a friend's who is also a gun nut just before the light went. About a year ago I gave him a BIG stack of old shooting times. Some of them going back to the late seventies. Recently he had been reading throught them and he said that the golden age for us was the early 80s towards 2000 and that we had, had the best of it. He is a bit outrageous and shoots as much as he can. All of my neighbours would be horrified if the knew A. That I had guns, B. That I had.... stocks of powder, primers, ammunition, shotguns and rifles.!!!!!!..... he mus

Is there any mention in this jungle of words as to how much a licence would cost.? What any criteria would be. ? Would these laws prohibit / include having a spaniel or a lab to go rough shooting with.?
-
Super day. At least you had birds in the sky. It's bad when you set up on a cold windy day and they all decide that the field next door was better feeding.
-
You can't just take a picture of a garden hedge and make out it's a hide. Well you can but that don't make it a hide, but you could hide in it, but it would be a ......t to shoot out of. ????????

AND, poor quality veg at that. Just total Vermin.
