    :hmm: I wander if that Tip would work for a firearm. Put one in the breach with a few drops of cleaner and push it through with a cleaning Rod. I might try that. Thanks Grim Regards SS

    If its the one in the top Right, I think its a .22LR shortened to 14" with a Moderator on it. But as has been said, if it was there and has been removed, Good. No Air rifle in this Country should ever be pointed in the vague direction of a fox. Regards SS

    What a great thing to find in a public museum. But then I have always thought of Birmingham as being the most CountrySports City(What a Paradox ) This is because the vast majority of Sporting Guns came from Birmingham right up until the 50's. Great to see they are not too censor-minded to display such a thing. Regards SS

    I have had bad experiences on Competition lines for Trap Disciplines. Personally, I have never used an auto in a Clay comp, but I was "Teaching" a girl to shoot and she was using a Beretta AL 391 to superb effect, hitting more than me with my O/U. The problem came when she entered a DTL competition. The Referees on EVERY stand were complete and utter Pigs to her. DO THIS, DO THAT. They made it so damn hard for her, even though there is no rule against it, that she switched to an O/U which took her months of getting used to again. Even though, I pointed out on several occasions there

    Yes and No. The O/U tends to be heavier and so soaks up more of the recoil but you can also have light O/U, such as the Beretta Ultralight which are only 5.95 lb which is very light even lighter than most S/S. You can have heavier S/S but they tend to be around the 6.5 lb mark. Some say the S/S will have more muzzle flip than the O/U but it all depends on the control and balance of the gun. I have shot O/U that have flipped many many inches off target at the muzzle. Regards SS

    Hello again SS I visited my local Halfords they did not have Carb cleaner so I got a can of Birchwood casey bore scrubber from ebay and sprayed liberally into barrels and left to soak, eventually after an hour of hard cleaning and scrubbing the marks have all dissapeared so obviously has been plastic or lead residue which has not came off when I was cleaning it out with WD40, Many thanks for the correct advice I'm now very relieved to know I have not damaged my beloved miroku, as I said I'm a total beginner and all these things have to be learned,, Thanks again R.P Typic

    One person which it is always a pleasure to talk to. We have our differences in choice of fieldsports which was apparent but are overcome by the presence of friendship.

    Well, its a convention that Clays nowadays are shot with an O/U and you decide which model you go for by the type of clays you shoot. i.e. a Sporter is designed for Sporting Clays, a Trap model is designed for Trap(DTL, ABT, Olympic Trap etc) and a Skeet gun for Skeet. If you are mainly going to be shooting Sporting clays the a Sporter is the one to go for. You can shoot clays with any gun but the different models have different Ribs, weight distribution and stock dimensions. You most certainly can shoot clays with a Side by Side, nothing to stop you but more serious clay shooting is do

    :laugh: Just had to laugh at that Moderator on there. "Super Moderator" He's so good that he i aiming to ban everyone so there is no chance in hell of seeing a dead animal or indeed having any decent information on there. Be a Moderators BBS now. And would you just look at the layout of it, talk about uninteresting and non imaginative. I fancy joining to make a post to recruit for this place, just to see how long it lasts Something along the lines of "Can anyone give me a link to The Hunting Life Forums?" Might try that. Regards SS

    they are only checking 35 traps a day , what are they doing for the next 6 hours of the day . mink trappers ,,,,,. There's no way we could tell just how long it would take them to check that many with the terrain up there being so varied. I imagine it would take and awful long time to check even four or five traps located on a peat hag. As long as the mink numbers are going down then does it really matter? Regards SS
