Yep had mine done and no real problems. It was not a pleasant experiance but it did not hurt. The lad in before me acctualy rode home on a bike after his op, now I'm not suggesting I would want to do that but there was no pain, itwas just uncomfortable. All the best taz .

Hi Peter. Nice photos. Where were you shooting? taz

He did acctualy say he was looking for empties and found unused carts still in the bottom of the new boxes. As they are pouring the carts into their bags they are holding the odd cart still in the box and then throwing the box away. I always check my boxes and I crush them down because the bin soon fills up with empty boxes, especialy the ones on the first stands. taz.

I'm running as fast as I can taz

Has the guy posted on here since? Have you thought of the possibility that he could be unable to contact you for some reason. If he spoke to you a few hours earlier and then did not turn up I would be worried he was injured or somthing as serious as that. taz. .

"Are you looking at me" "Are you looking at me" .

Maybe the police want it kept quiet because they are working on the case and are planning to get the gang in the near future. If the gang are spooked by press coverage they might stop and the police might not want this. Only guessing I do not know the answers. taz.

RAC warranty - well worth a look. However, even a link can suffer from a temporary breakdown, and that's what's happened here. Hopefully we'll have an update on this when it's been mended. In the meantime, you can still join the RAC, and still view other Insurance offers here. Especially of note is the RAC INSURANCE offer (announced 2004/10) Cheers taz .

.. Personaly I don't think it has anything to do with the fact that it's a newbe or a regular poster. If somone agrees to somthing and for what ever reason changes their mind or even if they forgot a simple polite message letting the other party know is the least that can be done. I think it comes down to common decency and respect for others. A simple explanation before or an appology after is the least I would do and expect. I have also been messed about by people on this site, on one occasion driving 90 (180 round trip) miles to meet somone after 3 hours I took the hint that it was a wind up. Some people are plain ignorant and it is not just newbe's. Part of life's great plan I spose. Cheers taz. .

The selfish *** retired early so hes got years left :blink: Cheers taz. .

. GEEEERRRRRR OORRRRRFFFFFF MMYYY LAAAAAAAAAAND Go and play in your own area I only clay shoot because its not any easier to get permission here. One old guy I know seems to have permission to shoot the whole of South Yorkshire, he is retired and does nothing but shoot 24 / 7. He's a nice bloke but it means theres not much left for anyone else. Cheers taz. .

They will handle 28g's all day and mine will even fire 21g's but like all things in life it does come down to size. The longer the better . Mine cycles 65mm with about 1 jam ever 100. 67mm and longer cycles all day. Cheers taz. .

. They ought to be on a water meter then they will pay for what they use. taz .

Hello Andy. Like a lot of sports shooting has its fair share of snobbery and the Hatsan is deemed the lowest of the low and not to be trusted by some people, most who have never held one let alone fired one. They are a cheap gun but they come with a warentee that ensures you can trust them. I have used one and it fires every thing I put through it from 21 gramm to heavy doody magnums. It is an easy gun to maintain and use. The one thing I do not like about it is the spring clip thing that holds the piston to the actuator bar. I would have a Hatsan again and they are in my price range. I could have two Hatsans for the cost of even a cheap secondhand Barretta or other so called up market gun. Cheers taz. .

. When I clean my gun the last thing I do is wipe it down with a rag that has been drenched in oil. This gives the gun a very fine film of oil over it and I think that, that helps keep things like your problem at bay. Cheers taz .

Before you ******* the guys who told you it was wrong just think on about it a bit. They were wrong and they made a mistake but they were acting in your best intrest and did what they did for safety reason. As it happens you have had a bit of a fright but it has all worked out for the best. The guy who sold you the gun suggested a course of action that would have proved the gun safe or not, so he was not unreasonable. You oviously did not want to pay £150 to get the second opinion. You managed to get a second opinion from somone you trust and you are now confident that the barrels are safe to use. What was done, was done for the best of intentions and you are happy with the outcome. I would put it down to experience and Mention the what has occured to the guys who thought there was a problem, but stop short at the ####ing. Just my opinion. taz. .

Its two men in a panto horse's suit!! taz .

.. I use a Hatsan Escort and I love it. It is reliable and shoots well. It cost £200 and was only a couple of months old, still with warrenty. If I could afford a so called better gun I would struggle to find one that I like as much as this one. I think the Hatsan has a bad reputation with some people and perhps the older ones were not reliable, but mine is and it will even cycle 21g carts. taz .

My friend had his gun fitted and it cost him £70 about 3 years ago. Escorts come with shims that can be added to alter how the stock fits. Cheers taz. .

If they do I'll fall out with you Ive been looking for a cheap small shotty for a young teenager for weeks. I would seem that hens teeth are more common than cheap 410's at the moment. Cheers taz. .

Its not that the bullets would bounce off, its just that the bullets would be bouncing around you. Sterlings were not designed for long range accuracy But as stated I would not stand infront, just incase. Cheers ozone .

You don't mean all those people who Know better after the event do you?? Cheers taz. .

. A big thank you to the lads at the Reindeer clay site near Wakefield. This is the second time I’ve been there and they all made me and my mate very welcome. There was a good banter between everyone concerned and like the last time the safety at the site was excellent. The shooting was done from 5 stands and everyone was split into 2 groups so nobody was stood around too long waiting for their turn to shoot. It was very misty - foggy earlier on and it was hard to see the other side of the quarry, so we all thought it was going to be fun when the clays started to fly. Fortunately most of the mist – fog was gone by 10 am and when we started the weather was ideal. The last time I was there was last March and I jokingly asked for them to turn the heating on for me for the next time I arrived because it was bitter cold and they must of listened to me because it was lovely and warm, tee-shirt weather this morning. So a big thankyou to all at the Reindeer and I look forward to my next visit. taz .

Perhaps some safety glasses won't go wrong and for your head wear a cap of some discription. The glasses will protect your eyes and the cap will make you look cool Should you be in the firing line though? Cheers taz .
