[Dressing Rabbits.]

Winchester do a lovely little black fixed blade skinning knife with a curved blade. Had mine for about four years and the blade is still in great shape, holds an edge really well and cleans easily. Great value at £12. Just wish it was a bright colour

[The Hlf Davids Versus The Hft Goliaths (Meet 3 At Odp).]

Hi guys unfortunately I won't be able make this one . My stepdad gets out of hospital tomorrow after eight months. So we are going up to the farm to give my mom some support and welcome Dad home. There is also still quite a lot of work to do to help modify his room and accesses, bathrooms etc

I really am going to miss you guys, but I am elated that he has made it home, there were many nights spent sitting in the family room with him not expected to survive the night .

 

I hope you all have a great weekend , I look forward to the posts and Si's videos . Coop

[T.h.l Air Gun Section Annual Meet,july 12,13,14 2013]

Still not sure Davey. Steves daughter is still in hospital and so is my step dad :-( it's not been a good time recently with one thing and another. I will keep you posted mate . Thanks .

[T.h.l Air Gun Section Annual Meet,july 12,13,14 2013]

Re match Paul.

Yes mate it's the decider, best of three lol

[T.h.l Air Gun Section Annual Meet,july 12,13,14 2013]

Hi Davey

Thanks for the heads up . I really would like to come work permitting , I will let you know as soon as possible mate. I will also check with Steve :-) Regards Coop

[Quick Landscape From The Aaoc Meet 2013]

I thought those were some of the best pics you took at the meet Darryl. I also like some of your portraits mate.

[Most Reliable Semi Auto?]

They all jam some time mate, some more than others. I haqve a Xplor 400 light and that has never jamed, but it did break off an extractor claw after 250 shells. It was fixed by Beretta but it took em five weeks. I have Teknys AL 391 with 30" barrel and extended chokes years old but super reliable not really a field gun though and heavy. Just keep feeding yours 32g shells it helps. Good luck

My Browning jammed a few times the other day using 6s it was easily sorted but Im pretty fu*ked off scene as it was over £1000

 

It is being fed 70mm 6s like the gunshop told me to feed it on and it still failed to eject today twice, Its under warrenty but the shop is 2 hour away.

 

But Im hoping it is down to the gun being new its just coming up to 180 cartridges old, Ive stripped and cleaned it every time Ive taken it out and lubed it accordingly It is going back if it does it again.

 

After it jammed It shot another 30 or so cartridges ok afterwards but its on my mind now.

 

Maybe I should have got another beretta afterall

[Best way to remove rust ?]

 

you can get a cream in a metal tube looks like a toothpaste toob me dad had some for his motorbike you would rub it on with cloth and it would romove rust then just wipe clean

any idea on what its called mate

It's called Solvol Autosol :-)

[Cartidges]

I've been using the gamebore Clear Pigeon 32g in number 6, ideal for those high birds. Good cartridge would defiantly recommend them.

 

I also use these for pigeon and crows as well, a good all rounder

 

I have been using these for a while and I like them. Had quite a bit of success with high flying crows that think they know the range of a 391 with full choke.

[Custom Stock]

Now that's what I call a custom stock . I know cos he made me one too :-)

[Sneak peek.....]

Lovely work as ever darryl mate.

 

 

Davy, I think we've found the next THL meet venue!

 

Cheers, wurz

 

i have a plan???? for next year! Already in negotiations for 2013 meet make sure your passports are up to date

what, you thinking of setting one up in cymru

 

That's me buggered if you do . The ex wife's still got a price on my head, after all it's only been 25 years since I legged it . Got bloody long memories them welsh gals lol

[Custom Stock]

Hi Karl . If you are thinking of putting one of those skeleton stocks on a TX, I wouldn't . I had one on my MK III and it was truly awful . It made the rifle nose heavy and it was incredibly difficult to get any kind of groups. The rifle looked fantastic but shot like a dog.

 

I hadn't worked out why the rifle was so inaccurate , all I knew was the previous owner couldn't get on with it and sold it. I decided to break the rifle up and sell what I considered to be the best bit of the rifle. I bought a second hand MKIII fish scale stock for £25 and stopped the stocks. I sold the CS stock to my mate (poor unsuspecting sap lol) and lubed and set the TX up for sale.

 

It was incredible. The TX was spot on. It was only then I realised it was the stock all along. I still have the TX and the poor unsuspecting sap , sorry I mean my mate has sold the CS. I hope this helps ( and that you have a TX lol) .

[The Hunting Life Forum October Charity Air Rifle Meet.]

Really enjoyed the vid and the day Si. It was our first THL meet and a big thanks to all the members for making us so welcome. It was a fantastic sum raised for a very worthy cause. Well done to all who attended and thanks to you Davey and Charlie for all you hard work.

[June 2013 THL Airgun Section Shooting Meet]

Is everyone happy with the intended location of the raised funds?

 

I.E the scouts?

 

Si.

Hi Si. My son Finn is in the Beavers and goes up to the Cubs at the end of this year. I hope he will go on up to the Scouts too. I do a bit of fund raising and help out a bit with maintenance of the scout hut they use, so I know how strapped they are. I think it's a great choice of recipient. Coop

[June 2013 THL Airgun Section Shooting Meet]

Put me down please Si and I will talk to Steve over the week end mate to see if he wants in.

Regards Coop. Oh yeah one FE so far :-)

[T.H.L Air gun section meet,5,6,7,October 2012]

AAAAARRRRGGGGHHHHH!

 

Initial unpacking suggests that my allen keys are missing, theyre in a large 9"x6" black plastic case which also contains a full set of long ended star keys, long ended allen/hex keys, plus a variety of screw driver bits and the various handles they can be snapped onto, a yellow handled narrow flat headed screw driver, and a small level. If anybody has found them or packed them by mistake, could they pm me please, even if its with a ransom note!

 

Cheers, wurz

I believe they may have been given to davey when packing up as they were in the 'dismantling' tent, i remember seeing someone with them trying to figure out who they belonged to

 

ATB

 

Adam

 

Yep Wurz I gave them to Davey we found them whilst packing up mate :-)

[T.H.L Air gun section meet,5,6,7,October 2012]

Great weekend guys, I have met and made new friends. Me and Steve would like to thank Davey and Charlie for all their hard work and every one else for being great people to spend a week end in a very wet field with. Regards to you all and I can't wait for the next one. Coop

[this copper once arrested me for tresspasing in pursuit of game, he films his mate Shafting a horse]

Sick f**k. Roof and a rifle it's the only answer.

[Is this a good deal ?]

Agreed Coop . A small discount , and it was small lets be honest , could have got them a sale .............

 

Never mind buddy , you keep using them shotty things , and i`ll borrow that GML from you

 

It could be said that I have missed a good gun for just £15 but I think Gnome was right £400 is its worth so I was prepared to give a bit but the shop wasn't . That narked me a bit and when that happens I can get a bit Black Country if you know what I mean :-)

If you come over to Kinver I might just let you shoot the course with the last (real) and best GML built , but there is a disclaimer . It will make you want to sell your soul to get one lol

[Is this a good deal ?]

Well I decided to buy the Lanbar but not at the advertised price of £450 . I had already enquired if there was any discount on the gun and was informed that £440 was the offer price. After careful consideration of both the condition of the gun and the lack of history that i felt the shop should have had . I decided that I would see if the shop would accept a bid of £425 (that's only a saving of £15 on the salesman's asking price and £25 on the advertised price ) . I rang the shop and made it clear that I would like the gun but also outlined my reasons for not wanting to pay the full asking price. I asked if they would take a cash offer of £425 and was turned down flat . So guess what ? I am still looking and the shop still has a gun for sale . Poor outcome I think considering the small discount I was asking for.

[Is this a good deal ?]

Ha ha you have got the measure of me, odd and strange :-)

[Is this a good deal ?]

Im gonna come down that Kinver place one day

You can come over with me Craig . Drop into mine and I will take you over any time you want mate. The HFT course is good , not too challenging, with a couple of 50s and a 65 for fun. All set in woods on a hill. The clay shooting is challenging and I quite enjoy having the choice of the two. It's only 30 mins from mine and you'll see some of the Penkridge lads there.
