    Chrome plating

    Deker replied to Deker's topic in General Talk

    Thanks all, making enquiries of Powder coaters...estimate to chrome plate the stuff in my picture is £300...wasn't expecting quite that much, still a lot cheaper than buying/fitting new fire!

    Chrome plating

    Deker replied to Deker's topic in General Talk

    Thanks, emailed them pics asking for advice/costs! Found someone else in Wembley and in Alton, they all seem a fair way off, such is life! Edit...…. thought about Powder Coat, but concerned about temperatures, top centre of fire surround gets VERY hot (too hot to touch), the rest seems ok, need to find out more about Powdercoat, is there very high temperature stuff about?

    Decorating time and I was going to get a new gas fire for the living room in Chrome, the gold is going, Then I thought about getting it chrome plated, the fire works fine, just the wrong colour. I need all this plated, the grate front can all get done, not jut the gold bits. Anyone know anything about chrome plating, any idea of costs or where I can get it done, as close to Reading as possible. Cheers

    Now there's a strange thing, many here have spoken about various rimfires bouncing on their quarry, of course it can happen, but I actually witnessed a .204 splash on a fox, fortunately the guy shooting was alert and good and got another off quick, one regret I have is never taking a picture of the splash. Some who have .204 swear by them, others have moved on quickly and whichever way you look at it .204 has not taken off in the UK.

    I deal with a lot of foxes, and a lot in peoples back gardens. .22lr, HMR and WMR are all very capable of fox. Of course there are times a C/F will prevail, but comments I hear regularly that rimfire is no use on fox you need centrefire is bollocks, It's about the situation!!! Same with head/chest/bib shots, none are better than the other, you have to weigh up every situation and place the shot to best advantage. .

    I'm at a loss. I never did see any longevity in this marriage but Harry has a mind of his own and I thought he would keep her in check! In truth I have not seen Harry since the wedding but this is not the actions of the guy I know (knew). I don't get it, and I don't like it, sort her out or sort yourself out Harry!!!!!!

    I have the Deben Mini and Max, both with battery packs and they are fine, the extra weight is primarily in the battery pack which is separate. I think you can still find a few of the lamping kits about and some are (were) just about good enough for 200 yard shooting. Many (including me) tend to use the torches or NV more these days, again, the torches can make 200 yards but be careful to get a bright one, most also have variable light levels, where my lamping kits all had full dimmer switch control. The NV these days is really pretty good, and there are many variants which mak

    Happy New Year all...been a busy time. The Remington Subs apparently continue to be a pain, must be a good 5 years ago I last bought any and experienced just the same issues as SD. Long while back I used the Remington Yellow Jacket HP, about 1500ft sec I believe and it was absolutely great in my 452, but their subs have been a nightmare forever. As mentioned above mine is the Magtech 7022, (Mossberg 702) cheap as chips, very light but remarkably accurate and reliable! Brilliant with all manner of subs.

    Depends on the situation/location. I use all the usual, tethered rabbit etc in the countryside, cheap runny tinned dogfood and in a bowl, the good/expensive meaty stuff is no good as they can virtually pick it up and run off in one mouthful, or mixer type/small dog biscuits, scattered around to lead them into a pile. They all work, as no doubt does lots of other things!

    It was the GRS Beserk stock I used on a T1x, should be able to get the whole package under £1k. PS. Coincidentally I had to make the trek to Livens to get the club gun shown earlier in this thread!
  15. Deker
    ?????????????? Its a target rifle, take a look at Modern target rifles, most look like something out of an Arnold Schwarzenegger film, the stock is solid and rigid and aluminium, (as well as adjustable) it has a proper F Class type bipod now as well and the whole setup is heavy. Anyway, we were talking about Pistol grip!

    I'm more than happy with my collection of 452!

    Aesthetically I'm definitely not a fan of the Royal, but its a CZ and I'm sure it will work well which the main thing!

    I'm getting a bit confused here, rats/mice have no taste bubs but do have a great nose. I have no experience of Peppermint oil and if it works I have no idea why, perhaps its something to do with oil itself rather than the peppermint, I don't know why a peppermint odour would put them off, but hey, who knows?????

    I have used the T1x with a GRS stock, and whilst the stock offers a lot (and easy) adjustment I didn't find the pistol grip particularly comfortable, just too bulky for me, and my hands are not small. Also looked at a GRS stock for our new Club .223 Howa, but same, issues, frankly I'm not knocked out with the build quality either. The kit looks a good option! Now this is what you call a pistol grip, Oryx stock we ended up with on the new club .223. (no Idea if its available for T1x)

    I hear what you say but I have a lot of different calibres because they each do a job, of course there are elements of overlap, but a Hornet is way more than a HMR (too much more in some situations) and not everyone has a desire to reload.

    For a workhorse of a rifle then I'd stick with the CZ, trigger kit or not! You will pay more for most others, and in some cases a lot more for no improvement in the things that count, accuracy, repeatability and reliability. If you really are moving away from CZ most others seem to work ok, but if you are determined I hear good things about the new Tikka T1x.

    If your scales are correct that is a decent size, I always look at 20lb (about 9kg) or over as big, so 10kg sure beats that!

    Nothing is impossible but the GLUE is a weird and wonderful creation and VERY sticky without setting, they stay sticky for years.
  24. Deker
    The studs were all bolt/nut types. The Sticks like... was there to fill and totally lock everything into position so knocks/vibrations wouldn't cause the nuts to come undone. The work shown was several years ago (about 7 I think) and everything is still holding well so I guess it works ok!

    Brexit

    Deker replied to ginger beard's topic in General Talk

    Unfortunately is does look like Parliament is (and has been) going out of its way to make sure we don't. Regardless of the deal Boris has, 31 October will tell the real tale!
