  1. Bottle looks like its sold. £200 + postage for the rifle (its the new model without the seperate cocking lever) Bargain for the condition.
  2. I am selling my 6 month old .22 FN19. It has a beech right hand stock and the only marks on it are a little thinning of the blue where the scope mounts sat, otherwise totally as new having only fired about 800 shots in dry weather. It has properly fitted QD studs. I also have a 3 litre 300bar bottle and valve for filling the rifle, which is as new as well. Test date 09/07 I'm looking for £300 the pair or a £210/£90 split if sold seperately. If you interested please email me at satyruk@tiscali.co.uk (I'm in East Sussex if that makes a difference)
  3. Probably talking out my hat but will the bullet be spinning fast enough to stabilise? or do you have a faster twist rate on your barrel than a standard 700?
  4. Just stick it in your suitcase. The worst that could happen is they make you pay VAT and import duty. They are much hotter on posted stuff lately (I had to cough up a couple of months ago on a Leupold)
  5. I remember it well. Met loads of people (good for meeting nerdy / ugly girls too ) Skip talk, postcards. Sideband, a burner and silver rod. Chatting all night. "Eyeball" the car driving past. Seems a bit naff now but it really was a different time back then. Sidewinder - Pulling the plug.
  6. I think our gardens are often more like wild areas than farmed land and create corridors of green like hedgrows do. While its true that land gets paved over I've also seen plenty of old woodland fall to be replaced with ploughed fields.
  7. I've only ever met one landowner who wanted foxes culled on sight, and he raised birds. All others managed foxes with a very light touch, and far from being asked to shoot them I was told not to upset the balance by killing them. Thats certainly the majority view around where I am.
  8. Last I read they even included the offset of the dropping cost of DVDs BWAHAHAHA when was the last time you brought enough DVDs (maybe £2 cheaper each) to offset the increase in car juice, leccy, gas, water and of course food Last year the average real inflation for a 2 adult, 2 kid familly with a big mortgage and car hit 20+ % for a short peak. God knows what it is now. 25% of the world has runaway inflation if you believe the papers. Fingers crossed for us in the UK but the shift of money seems to be from us into poorer countries. Screw everyone else to keep our quality of
  9. The price increases are not due to supply and demand at all. Its all down to 'Fund Managers' pouring money into oil and pushing prices up in a self fulfilling cycle. These are the aresholes who have created the sub prime credit crunch etc. Why the governments of the world have not suspended their trading in crude is the real question. Perhaps the increased tax revenue is the reason? http://www.telegraph.co.uk/money/main.jhtm...14/cnoil114.xml
  10. Hydrogen has a really poor energy density. Its not actually practical outside the imaginations of dreamers or devoted dabblers. Best feed for a fuel cell - LPG which is a high density hydrocarbon. Same as petrol, made from crude like petrol so no benefit.
  11. Good fresh bait, sharp hooks, dont get too obsessed with casting a long way. Try to learn the best spots and part of tides from the locals but dont be afraid to try an unkown spot.
  12. i have a pellet catcher for targets, but i was woundering if you can shoot quarry in your back garden legaly if it s safe I don't think your actually allowed to shoot anything without reason, so as the land owner / tenant you would need to have some reason to 'cull the vermin' Damage to veg? Damage to house? Check out the general licence too.

  14. Hi Kathy I'm not in a position to help being too far away, but I appreciate your stance on factory farming of meat vs wild as 50% of my family is vegitarian (none vegan tho) You may find suspicion as some antis* apparently use the forum to cause trouble - I'm pretty new so I couldn't say. You could try posting in General or Pest Control to increase the exposure of your ad. Its also worth sticking around as there is a wealth of info about garden birds, fish and animal behaviour, that you won't find anywhere else. I only say that because I am humbled by the extent of the knowled
  15. I've no doubt that there are air rifles that can shoot that far, but to have any oomph left at that range you will need to be shooting solid bullet type pellets, and keeping them weighed, sized and accurate will need some effort and science. Certainly not like buying a brick of LR. At high power levels its also worth bearing in mind how very few shots you will get between refills. You may be better to shoot from a linked bulk tank if your shooting from a fixed position on a bipod. I would be interested to know how you get on, what you want to do is not impossible but quite unusual in t
  16. I think the disabling is done by deliberate over-adjusting of one of the adjustment screws, the manual isn't too clear. Good idea about asking the importer Its a single set, so you can just use the trigger as normal, and only set the set (if you know what I mean) when you can take longer over a shot. Not sure its worth the extra money.
  17. I seem to remember being told that it was possible for a gunsmith to 'push' out the crimp with some sort of tool that was pulled through the tube on a threaded stud. Could have been rubbish but it sounded feasible.
  18. Why do you have concerns about the 452 trigger, do YOU find it unsatisfactory or are you simply being swayed by certain opinions? I have a 452 with the original trigger and I have no complaints, but I am going to invest the few quid to try the Brooks version (If I can get one anywhere) to see if it does make the difference people claim. The 453 Trigger is DIFFERENT and I hate set triggers, so your question is more than a little difficult to answer. I'm not keen on the original trigger, and I've put enough bricks of ammo through it to get used to it. Still don't actually like it thou
  19. I'm applying for a FAC and have been using a 452 in .22LR which is the rifle I was leaning towards getting. My only concern is the trigger, which as other posts here today have shown can be improved cheaply. So the question is - is the adjustable and set trigger on the 453 worth it over the shim and spring job on a 452? Anyone used them back to back?
  20. If thats a Baikal as others have posted then it was dumped as a dangerous piece of crap. I've only seen two in the field and both had a problem with accidental discharge on closing the action onto live cartridges. I know a dozen owners will say how good they are, but from my perspective they are lethal and I wouldn't be suprised if its previous owner just smashed it over a fence post and threw it into a ditch - in the old post card style SGC days. More than a dozen i'll think you'll find. As ive said before, mine is pushing 25 years old and has never put a foot wrong. He would ha

  22. First, kudos for the 31" waist. Not seen that for nearly 20 years But I think you've answered your own question, in our disposable world what you want just isn't being made in an Asian sweatshop so isn't available from fleabay or shops. Custom made will be easier than scouring every last inch of the world / internet for a 2 inch belt.
  23. Yes, sell it to me for £50 If not heat it up until the pellets melt and pour them out. Then sell it to me for £5
  24. So they took charge of an accident scene which had nothing to do with them and perverted the outcome, and they attempted to abduct your dog which delayed the proper attention from a vet. I would be talking to the cops. As far as I can see they are at least morally way over the line - all youv'e done is throw a few f**ks their way which surely is nothing compared to their actual involvement in an accident involving livestock and interfering with livestock. At least even the score on the cops records. Failing that lots of plastic sheet, iron bar, freezer, wood chipper.
  25. If Boris is smart enough to take advice, and choose his advisors well, then London should do OK. Not every city dweller loves the red menace and the arrogant and corrupt machinations of those like Ken. Here its no different as people have voted on some pressing local issues.
