Sounds like you have nothing to loose by having a go. The steel will be quite hard and will have to be ground rather than sawn. Don't let it get too hot or it will loose it's hardness then not keep an edge. I'd try and keep the edge that's sharp and cut the back and end off but that restricts the shapes you can do.

like talking to a brick wall ¡
halamrose replied to GEOFF.223's topic in Rimfire, Centrefire & Shotguns
Let him have the gun he likes. I think you will always shoot better with a gun your fond of than one that may be technically better in some respects. Mind you I will try a lighter rifle than my 452 varmint next time, but if I had gone for the lighter rifle I'd always wonder if I would have shot better with the heavier gun. We each need to live with our choices and learn from our own experience. -
First Firearms Certificate help!
halamrose replied to danielbickle's topic in Rimfire, Centrefire & Shotguns
Has anyone had any enforcement against them for shooting a fox without it being explicitly mentioned? I have 'any other lawful quarry' on my licence for both HMR and 22LR despite FEO saying only HMR suitable for fox. - Yet to shoot one though. -
Quick question regarding my FAC
halamrose replied to RobertoS86's topic in Rimfire, Centrefire & Shotguns
If you really mean FAC then paulus is right, but if you mean Shotgun certificate you can have as many as you want. , A semi which can hold more than 3 shots is classed as a firearm, for which you need to justify each gun. If you have a reason for more than ask for a variation. -
Maybe it matters if it's relevant to your work.
-
If it makes you smile when you take a gun out of the cabinet then a semi would be a good choice. It's not easy, but it's not too hard, to swap rifles once you have one but still try before you buy to see if you like the accuracy and trigger and watch a youtube vid on how to clean the model you fancy - then you can decide if you want the extra fuss.
-
I recently had this decision to make. I read lots of reviews but never ended up confident in the accuracy of semis. I know people spend a lot getting 10/22 accurate and CZ 511/581 and their new brother seem to start off half decent but I tried a couple in the shops and didn't like the triggers at all. Bought a CZ452 bolt action rifle and although the trigger wasn't great it's easy and cheep to improve. You have to be a much better marksman than me to shoot well with a heavy creepy trigger - but many people are much better than me. When I miss I only want to be able to blame myself.

How do you keep the scope lenses dry, or do you shoot from vehicle? Halam

Possibly it's not clear what I'm talking about, maybe not all models of 452 have this, what with the varmint being free floated and all. From the video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-xuH2OPFyTo you can see at 1 minute 10 seconds the round block that the front stock mounting screw engages with just slides out and drops away when you take the rifle out of its stock. You can also see the slot in the barrel in which the part slides sideways. I'd like to know if on the assembled rifle the block should be free to slide or locked by the stock screw?

So I've trimmed the trigger spring and polished the seer but I only had a nail file at my girlfriends so I'll see how it is in the field and take it from there. I know the cost of the trigger kit is minimal but I like to fiddle and come up with my own solutions. Trigger is already much better but I should have tried just leaving out the nut and washer. One thing I did notice that I have not read about is that the jaws of the trigger were a bit tight where they pivot on the rear pin. I relieved them a tiny bit with the nail file and that made the trigger less gritty too. The Screws look

After a few years of FAC air I finally have a FAC with slots for 22lr and 17HMR. So had to decide which to buy first and settled on the 22lr because I like quiet guns and will need practice at longer ranges to get the most out of either of them and 22LR is cheaper to practice with. So then the next question? Old, new or modern second hand? I was tempted by a new CZ 452 Varmint for about £350 but did I want to spend all I felt able to on one gun or keep some back for the HMR later? Looked at and handled a Ruger 77/22 but it didn't feel special. A CZ 381 for £70 was tempting but I didn't

HELLO TO ALL TORCH FREAKS LOOK
halamrose replied to GEOFF.223's topic in Rimfire, Centrefire & Shotguns
Ahh, where did yo find that? I'd like to know more. -
Gosh your right. I'm wrong dargownit. From section 11(5) of the firearms act:A person may, without holding a shot gun certificate, borrow a shot gun from the occupier of private premises and use it on those premises in the occupier’s presence. http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1968/27 I very much stand corrected and apologise.

I had a SMK popgun where the sights had to be way off to the side. If it's a break barrel airrifle then maybe the joint has shifted or worked loose so the barrel no longer points where it used to.
-
Mind you, if I rush the shot I can miss a rabbit head easily enough as well. I guess the thing is with centrefire there is more margin for error. Not claiming I know, not tried to shoot a fox yet.
