    Get a piece of 12 mill or 14mill solid round bar, about 3 feet long, bend it in the middle to make a horse shoe type shape, or a u shape with around 4 or 5 inches between the legs or the u shape. Set the bent bar in concrete and leave an inch or so sticking up above the concrete. It will literally be a bar comming up out of the ground and then turning back down into the ground. Exactly like a giant staple or u nail set in concrete. Use a split link, or if you have a swivel with 20 mill or bigger holes in it put it on the bar bar before you set it in the concrete and bobs your uncle, nothing to

    you leave the stud of your swivel in the stock and take the rind off it, your left with a stud with a hole at both sides that the ring used to be in, you will see the little legs on the bipod that go into the holes where the ring was on the stud, use the thumb screw to tighten it up, all you need is the way the bipod is on the very last pic on your ebay link, the two legs infront of the thumb screw are what attactes to the swivel base in the stock. all the other bits in them pics are for mounting to the barrell,

    haha, i know that tunnell, they train concrete sprayers out there, im living out beside it and pas it every day! shit hole!! you want the dollors you do the shit i suppose, im spraying concrete ground support with the past few years as there is way more demand for sprayers than sparkys and better bucks but your right its a shit job!! any lad working on sites at a labour end gets it tough, still it pays well so if ya stick it for a few years and cover the overheads you can afford to take less money closer to home. thats my plan anyway! not wanting to be an old man and still lugging a bag around

    im in a similar position, i served my time as an industrial sparky, worked in a good few different countries, got a job pretty local in the mines for two years till the fukers closed down!! back on the road these last few years working in tunnels, in london at the moment in the tunnels. i make enough during the year to take the months of the hunting season off, usually november to end of jan middle of feburary. its a balls and like you im getting pretty sick of living out of a bag!! i still fly home every second weekend but you cant beat working close to home and being home every evening.

    you didnt miss them, you stuck lead in them and they stayed going!! fekin skatter gun!!! lol, only jokin mate, the best i ever shot was when i first started out with a single barrell baikal, it was down to knowing i only had one shot and i did great with it, now when a bird gets up it usually on the second shot that im knocking him!! its all a confidence thing i think, let us know in a few weeks how your finding it,

    i can only imagine its a killer to know she will be so far away for so such a period but on the other hand i bet she feels the exact same about leaving you and her mother, family bonds are a great thing really but much and all as you would like to keep them all local and and an arms reach in this day and age with bigger and brighter horizons its inevitable for younger people to go wherever they need to to try and better themselves and do as well as they can.

    The barrel length has nothing to do with accuracy. You're right in what you say about the speed in which you can acquire a target and the speed in which the gun will swing. If you use your test of two guns in a vice which are exactly the same with exactly the same chokes then at 35 yards they would throw the same pattern. Ultimately, a shorter barrel will be quicker to swing but it's the old adage of practice makes perfect, the shooter will get used to it. I own a 26" Skeet gun which has an added weight in the stock to make the barrels swing faster, it took me months to get used t

    jasus tiny thats a dirty looking tear, what did you do to yourself?
  14. fox digger
    its hard to say exactly what distances it was killing at and when it had reached its limits, thinking back and as a summary i suppose it was knocking birds upto 40yards ish... with the ultralight and express supreme game no. 6(same as used in the 26" barrels) i will pretty consistantly take birds beyond 40 yards with clean kills. just seemed that it didnt pack the same punch as the longer barrell, maybe dropping a shot size may have compensated i dont know, i just didnt have faith in it after several birds wobbled in the air, puff of feathers but bird still going!!!

    i had a ruger with 26" barrels for a very brief period. we do alot of rough shooting and i found at distance it was lacking. birds taken with the 26" barrels were being hit but stayed going for a field or two before being retrieved. back to 28" very soon after and no issues, same cartridges, same chokes ect, right or wrong that is what i found and i was disgusted as i really liked the ruger, it was a peach of a gun. back to the good old beretta ultralight with 28" and happy again!!

    fair play inan........ we wer all getting our backs up over the missing book.... in my view i think it would be a good move to do as you said, get another of darcys books and put in in the THL library to be passed on and read by our fellow members there is a member on here selling two of them actually if you fancied a bargain on one and keep the other for yourself........ just a suggestion........ fair dues for clearing it up!! (hit man told to oil up the sledge hammer and put it back in its corner till the next call)!!!

    I agree jigsaw, at 11months he is still young enough to do what you want with him. My interpretation of the lead trained was just to show that that is all he has done and not seen anything which is a bonus in my eyes! He is in thurles, thats only a stones throw from me, ill try find out about him.

    and whats your preference mate? ive a striker over 10 years and its only now its starting to show its age with the reflective film starting to tarnish and corrode.
  23. fox digger
    that can be done hot meat but a pain in the arse to work aswell id imagine, dog held in one hand lamp in the other and your trying to root around for the dimmer on the line.... the normal dimmer can be turned with your thumb and its ideal, im not in a panic either way but could do with a new lamp and the blitz variable is the best of what i have used.

    socks these dont have them either! 16 emails today from different shops. this one included, any old models they had were taken back off them. a couple of replys said the newer 3 switch type is being upgraded in the autum so it will be more user friendly and more reliable!! two placer also reccommended debens tracer 210 who still use the twist knob dimmer, recon they are as good as the 240.... are they??? is the beam the same? if it is i have no problem buying one. opinions please...

    Ive a bitch in pup at the minute, ill be keeping two, and another two are being kept by a family member, but we intend to keep all the litter untill such a time as we both pick what we want size wise, confirmation wise and temperment wise ect. i dont see an major problem keeping them on untill your fully happy. Too much goes into breeding to get out of possibly the biggest/best pups in the litter...
