    I seem to recall (it was a while ago now) my S5 was 660g, and the Compact IS 590g (don't believe the hype), the S5 hangs off the end of the barrel and The Compact is an over barrel version! It makes a lot of difference to the balance!!

    Why and where do you want to put a grub screw into a synthetic stock??

    Only if a car drove down it!!! Never heard a boat called a "Vehicle"! I stand to be corrected if someone can produce a different bit of legislation!

    good lad which one turned her?(persuasions). you can get a second hand shotgun cabinet quite cheap( £30-50) the application costs £40 i think. good luck and let us know how you get on £50..plus the stamps, plus the photos, plus the drink and the wild woman you have to bribe your referee with!!

    There are no problems about shooting over water, a river, canal, stream, lake or the sea (the sea has some interesting rules of ownership so lets not go too far down that route), etc, etc, (assuming of course where your bullet/shot is going to land is still on your land, remember I said lets not go to the seaside) and you can certainly shoot from a boat. However, there are restrictions about shooting lead shot over waterways (NOT RIFLE BULLETS). No problem with Game Birds as such but there are lead issues again with waterfowl!! Obviously if the river, canal whatever had a towpath e

    Ok, Well went out last night to the same spots, tried the filter, and have to say it worked great! Yes they still know its there and eventually get spooked, but their eyes show up like anything, and if held on the edge of the beam will stay there for a good 30-40 seconds, More than good enough. Had 3 anyway at the same spot ive blanked twice. Well done, and it's all worth a try, but all you have done is shine a much reduced light intensity at them which is a bit red!! To be honest I don't think there is an answer here, use filters by all means and if you get a Dimm

    Don't forget to make sure you get the right Calibre Inserts, they are availlable in all these sizes, .17, 22, 243, 25, 27, 30 , 338, 375, 44. When I first got my .223 Wildcat P8 they had a much smaller selection of sizes, and I ended up with the .243 size, when they introduced the .22 size, and I heard the difference it made, I saved some more pennies and bought that, it does make it a bit quieter again, so I have quite a lot of spares for the P8 now!!!

    Quite heavy though I seem to remember, not that you'd notice it on your cannon they are not the lightest but there compact. i wouldnt swap for any other mod out there. those over barrel ones look like coke bottles ha ha I had the ASE S5 on my .223 to start with and it was the weight that made me dump it, certainly not the build or the sound suppression which was definately good, but the balance of the P8 COMPACT, being over the barrel rather than out front was definately better! But all my guns are "light", so it is difficult to get something that does not screw up the b

    I've got the full length wildcat and it really does make the rifle front heavy. Deker how much does it cost to get it converted to a compact model? Thanks Ben You would have to check with them... http://www.wildcatrifles.co.uk/ I think it cost me about £, but don't quote me, it must have been 18 months back. You need a new shorter sleeve, new shorter internal tube and probably a new bush if your barrel tapers.

    Ok, I have just weighed it on a set of Salter 1036 WHSSDR 3309 Electronic scales, and it came back with 590g every time!

    But you still have that right at law. You still have to show the police that you have a right to a SGC; for instance you have to show that you are not a prohibited person, are not a danger to public safety or the peace, haven't got problems with drugs or alcohol, etc. You have to show all these things for an FAC but you just need to show one more thing along with it - "good reason" in law. Essentially, the police have to show exactly the same thing to refuse an FAC application as they do a SGC application - it's just that you have to state your reason up front. You cannot start off fro

    I'd say a Go Kart will beat a Formula 1 car round a Go Kart track every time...so just what is the best car????? Edit A bit more info on what you want to do with it would help, heavy/light/short/long barrel, small game or varmint, even target, etc, etc

    Best I could do quickly, I don't have a camera, these are with the phone... My T3 Lite .223 Predator 8 Compact My T3 Hunter .243 Predator 8 Compact My 700SPS .308 Predator 8 Compact The tube you can see just below the T3 Lite at the top is the sleeve from a Full length P8 and fits about where it would, the baffle stack at the front is identical, so this shows how much longer (and heavier) the mod is in full length version!! Edit....Balance wise it took me about 2 years to sort the T3 Lite, that's what led me to the Compact P8 to start with, the T3 Hunter is straight out of the

    Weight wise get the COMPACT version, saves about 170g on the normal version, same baffle set, same diameter, just shorter. You will not notice any difference in sound reduction over the full length version up to and including .308, at least I don't, I started with the Full length and converted my first to the Compact, I then bought 2 more Compacts. Please note, I do not suggest these are the best sound reduction mods out there, but they are not at all bad and I rate them as perfectly adequate for my needs, they are also "lightish" compared to some and not expensive compared to some!

    i have the deben lamp and a dimmer is £40! Just spoke to maplins, and am on me way to get something from them sorted. They cant help. Looks like ill be trying full power with red filter tonight then! I don't know what the bunnies eyes can see, but I have used all the filters over the years and personally I think red only works because it dims the light so much, after years of using one and struggling to see the quarry at any distance with a red filter I lost mine and had to rely on the "White" light and a dimmer switch, never looked back and never bothered replacing the red f

    There always seems confusion over the 50 foot rule...this is it...... 161 2. If a person without lawful authority or excuse; (a) lights any fire on or over a highway which consists of or comprises a carriageway; or ( discharges any firearm or firework within 50 feet of the centre of such a highway, and in consequence a user of the highway is injured, interrupted or endangered, that person is guilty of an offence and liable to a fine not exceeding level 3 on the standard scale. Highways Act 1980 section 161 (2) So it is only a problem if there is a problem!! If you use

    Check out "Firearm Certificate" pinned at the top of this forum!!
  20. Deker
    5's or heavier, and keep the choke tight, but prefer a rifle anyway!! Next to none in my county so I have to travel for these!

    i wouldnt have thought this was the case otherwise they would not be able to legally sell them. There is NO British Standard for sound moderators that I am aware of, they potentially get a Proof, and that's it!!

    My T3 Lite .223 has Predator 8 Compact My T3 Hunter .243 has Predator 8 Compact My 700SPS .308 has Predator 8 Compact So, I sort of think think the Predator 8 Compact offers a package I can live with!! Lots out there though so you will no doubt get a mixture of views, and it usually stands to reason that most people think what they have got is the best!!!
  23. Deker
    It's a very wide question, they are more trouble than a bolt, less accurate, likely to eat more ammo, harder to clean and probably a few other minus points. But it's all relative, look after it, keep it clean and find the right ammo and it will probably perform perfectly adequately. And if it starts playing up or you want to custom it a bit, there are a vast number of aftermarket parts available for it!!
  24. Deker
    I sort of agree but it's not a case of what you have a right to, but what you require. If you have a genuine reason to own a particular calibre and amount of ammunition you will have no problems. If you just fancy a .223 or whatever because it is cool and you want 3000 rounds for the sake of it (slight poetic license here) then you will have to justify yourself. Oh, and I would suggest that a .308 is more dangerous than an air rifle, back stop or not I agree with the above You do not have the rightto a Firearms Certificate, you have to provide a Good Reason to acquire it an
