    The difference between a FAC and Airgun moderator can be nothing. There is no specific designated design differences. You need a slot on a FAC for a FAC mod though, you can potentially use any FAC "rated" mod on a non FAC gun (as long as the calibre is compatible) the reverse is not necessarily true, not all airgun mods are suitable for FAC rifles. If the mod is proofed you will need a FAC slot to use it, even if you put it on a 12ft lb air rifle. A SAK with a proof mark is a firearm under UK legislation, that same model SAK with no proof mark is not, but will become a firearm if you put it o

    Usually called a Match or Target crown!

    you had a good result then what ammo were you getting the best groups with I was using Eley subs. Neil usually cuts in a match type crown as well, did he do that on yours?

    Why?

    I am neither encouraging it or condoning it, and I think it is awful, but of course it works. It may be diminishing returns/flawed and innocents may suffer, but intelligence of some sort it often gained. Any report and any comments suggesting it is useless and never works are naive in the extreme.

    The guy above is just off the M4 but i don't know if he's more or less than an hour from you. RG7 2AG. Ferrari, middle of the night, no traffic, roadworks or police and you have a chance in an hour! Joking aside, it has to be close to an hour, my guess would be just a few minutes over, but it depends where you start in Bristol of course! ATB!

    Fair comment, but I have not had a landline for business or at home for about the last 12 years. Mobiles are easy, and despite odd problem reception areas, you can always answer them or return missed calls quickly. I don't have a receptionist and people are still reluctant to leave ansaphone messages.

    I think you have misunderstood my post. If mole trapping was as simple as spending £15-£20 on a few traps how do you think professionals would ever make a living? You will not help the landowner or win any brownie points if you are there day after day catching nothing and simply making his moles more trap shy. I have seen it time and time again, my husband tried for weeks, our gardener had a go, the neighbour up the road tried, my mate told me how to do it, etc, etc,...... then they called a professional, who had a right job and charged more because amateurs had made their task a lot

    I think you have missed my point! I'm not questioning you buying a 10/22, I questioned why you bought a... "10/22 target heavy barrel... sounds like it doesn't know what it wants to be...there are far better target guns and far better rabbit guns!" For clarification, I have used one of these and it is ok as a target gun, but it will never touch a target rifle, and that barrel is a monster, who wants to carry that around the field, any fractional improvement in accuracy is pointless in the field, and probably more than offset by your fatigue, having carried around that lump!

    We are mixing up professional and amateur here big time. Mole trapping looks easy on the face of it, anyone can do it......yeah right. I say this in the full and certain knowledge that I have been doing it for years, and one of my guys still makes me look like a beginner, hence why I leave him to do most of the mole work. Simple though the technique may seem, the reality is it is a skilled job, Experts make it look easy! Screw up and you get trap shy moles which makes them harder to catch! Yeah, anyone can buy a trap and have a go, they may even catch one, as Stubby has said tho

    Your choice and you get what you want, but the obvious question is........ Why? What do you want it for? Impulse buys are seldom a good thing! 10/22 target heavy barrel...sounds like it doesn't know what it wants to be...there are far better target guns and far better rabbit guns! ATB!

    There are very few bad guns out there these days, the Buckmark could be viewed as a bit of a novelty and the 10/22 is acknowledged as the highest selling semi...lord knows why as many seem to throw much of it away and then trick it up! If your mind is set on a semi then I rate the 511 very highly, but if you want a bit of out of the box action for no money try these! Mine was £150 brand new! As it comes (edit, I fitted the studs) a little work later It is actually one of these, but considerably cheaper.

    With all due respect that comment suggests you have not tried to shoot many lose squirrels in a live trap! Combs have to be trap specific and are not always that helpful either!

    Cotton wool helps... I cannot get by with cans of any description, simply hate them, I use ear plugs, lots available and generally not too bad a price. Whatever you want/can afford/suits you! Anything is better than nothing!

    Closest I would trust is Neil Mckillop in Mortimer, he does all my work these days. 01189333100 mckillopeng@Hotmail.com

    Crumbs, I've just had mine back from the last recall, seems a tad odd, and yet to be ratified I note. Remington is by far the largest rifle manufacturer in the USA and their products are pitched at an affordable level. Their rifle actions are well respected and used for many other custom rifle works. This does seem a serious expense and a massive blow just the same!

    It seems a pretty basic question any professional should know the answer to, but the mass of legislation/rules/guidelines we have to follow are changing all the time, and try as we might it isn't always that easy to keep right up to date, especially if you offer a full range of species and method Pest Control. He suggests he thought he read something about this, we all have our moments!

    Treadle type in the vast majority of domestic type environments, they need appropriate maintenance/setting to ensure they work appropriately, but they work much better than pull bait types when you have a bit of dog/cat food, or biscuits in a bowl as bait. This type of bait tends to be more domestic client friendly than many pull baits as well. I don't have any issue with the effectiveness of the treadle, the main issue (if any) as with so many animals/traps, is actually getting the fox in it to start with. Whatever works in the environment you want it to work in is the real answer.

    I had a panic wasp nest job a couple of years ago, they had just moved into a loft space and were very active........ Turns out there was no wasp nest but the owners had just had bees professionally removed and left the honey, the wasps found it PDQ and there was an awful lot of activity as the wasps were raiding the honey!

    No idea, but most of my squirrel work tends to turn up in the slightly warmer months. The simple answer to the question is.... whenever they need trapping!

    I think that's what I use for mine, "possibly" even low on the latest version! With the side parallax rather than front it presents a lower profile!
  23. Deker
    I do a fair few in domestic environments and as mentioned, a thumbnail piece of bread covered in peanut butter is a virtual guarantee of success!
  24. Deker
    I have the 3-12 old version and the 4-16 latest version. They are perfectly adequate for my needs without being exciting!

    The standard T3 .223 mag holds 4 rounds of .223, you can of course get one more loaded, so you can go out with a total of 5 immediately at your disposal. If you can only get 3 x .223 rounds in your standard .223 T3 magazine something is amiss!
