I would look at a second hand silver pigeon or 525, try and shoot both before buying and see which suits best.
A second hand gun you should be able to shoot before buying.
You’ll get one for under £1000.

Have got both .177 hw100ktl carbine,heavy accurate and with mine I get about 90 shots per fill.no problems in about 6 years .the s510 in .22 is just as accurate but weighs about 2lbs lighter.nothing to choose between them.hw was a bit dearer, quality seems very close.just down to which you like the look of.
What model of the 510 you get? -

get one with a back boiler...and when money permits have it connected to her radiator system............just an idea
When you have one of those, can you turn the link to the radiators on and off?
Or is it on 100% of the time?

The only time I’ve seen one with a back boiler it was almost too large for the room and it was like sitting in a sweat box.

Pros and cons of the top guns.
AA S510, the safety is on the trigger, what the hell were they thinking?!
Can be double loaded, the magazine sticks up above the action, is a bit more fiddly, can get an ultra lite version that’s very nice for carrying around.
HW100, not as good looking, has a more traditional safety that’s not on the trigger, apparently can’t be double loaded, magazine is flush with the action so doesn’t protrude making having a rail easier (a big consideration for me with modern NV scopes you can swap between rifles).
I am considering getting a HW100K and adding an after market cylinder that’s lighter.

Hello, Did you cook the Chicken in one of those Air Fryers Loyd ?? i am still debating getting one 🤔
No mate ours isn’t big enough for a whole chicken.
Just in the oven. I think it was more the type of chicken that made it so good / crispy.
If I buy those bake in the bag ones when done there’s a tray almost completely full of water! With these there’s hardly any run off.

Always cook all roasts on a trivet over 10mm of water with a lid on - result moist meat and a liquor that makes a good gravy when seasoned ( I tend to use Worcestershire sauce and tom puree) and thickened with corn flour, needs browning for colour.
Will it still crispy up then though? The chicken skin and drumsticks had a deep crunch like pork crackling! Was fab! -
Provisionally gone.

With a decent bird like that might I humbly suggest that next time you pop a Lemon, cut in half, and some fresh Thyme inside the bird then roast it on a trivet of Carrots and Onions, the juice from the chicken in the roasting tin and the veg water, along with whichever gravy granules you prefer will make superb gravy. Looks perfect to BTW.
I did roast it on a bed of onions
I find with these birds mind you don’t get a lot of juice off them, I assume because they aren’t brined / soaked in / injected with salt water to inflate the weight.
Just get a bit of fat come off that’s good to add in.

How did you makethe gravy please
Bisto best, nicer than the cardboard tub, comes in a glass jar.
Add the meat juices and water from the veg.
Nothing worse than runny gravy.

The roast spuds look top notch. 👍
Goose fat makes great roasties.
The chicken was bang on, crunchy skin almost like pork crackling!

Roast chicken, free range corn fed, much better than those water injected rubbish ones… goose fat roasted potatoes, and lots of veg… with PROPER gravy, thick like it’s meant to be!

Have a Spanish master SxS been cut down to 26”, double trigger, non ejector, about 14 1/2 lop, chokes are around 1/4 and 3/8.
Located just outside Bristol.
Need the space, currently on my mates ticket but he also needs the space.
Rough and ready but works fine. Free to a good (or bad) home.
Need it gone asap!

Shame it’s not a 22!

Hi Lloyd,
I have recently been through this journey with my two sons. I opted for the Yildiz SPZ ME and it has been great. The 410 is quite a choke sensitive calibre. You don’t need much to make a big difference. The main advantage with a multi choke is that you can use open chokes which are very user friendly for kids. I find that the chokes on these Turkish 410s (inc the current W & S) are quite severe and from half choke and above the patterns start to blow rather than constrict. Fixed 410 chokes are often tight with iffy patterns - just my experience.
It is understandable that some people may consider the 410 too difficult for children to use - they were once! Not now though. When I was a nipper, I only had 9 or 11 grams of 6 shot through a full choke. Very tricky. Now there are dedicated clay cartridges and multi chokes - a game changer. The lightness of a 410 for youngsters is important too. Their arms and shoulders get tired with bigger guns. Even with a 410 it’s important to give them a rest (sweetie break) every 10 shots or so.
Hope that gives you some food for thought.
P.S The 410 is great fun for dads also! Nice for decoying with 3” cart’s.
The 410 was great for uncle Lloyd to shoot but far too short for me.
I did hit one holding it from the hip mind!

How do you stay alive eating so little?
I would want two of those burgers and four times as many chips. Probably enough onions.
It’s normally the people that eat too much that have issues staying alive. -

Salisbury steak of course!

My 12 year old son shoots a Lanber o/u 12 bore. Has done for a few years.
If your nephew can manage a 20 or a 12 I would try him with one of those. 410's don't generally have great patterns and a smaller shot load so if you want to encourage him by hitting more targets, birds etc there are better options than a 410.
I’d say it’s the stock length / gun weight more an issue than the recoil. -

I’ve looked on the barrel and found 1x8
I use Hornady superformance in my 1:8 Tikka and haven’t missed any live game I’ve used it on yet.
Not a big number but it’s good. I’m not interested in trying to shoot little groups tbh.

Not bad for 12!

The bolt action ws. Is a well built gun and tend to have a good choke and pattern well (mine certainly did.) But they are slow and fiddly to load especially for a single shot gun .
As for choke .no multi choke doesn't make a huge difference .but an ou will be a better gun to hunt and clay with than the ws.
Sorry I should have said, it was a W&S OU. Single trigger, fixed choke, non ejector, with 3” chamber.
Similar to this one (looks the exact model).

Any have experience of a Webley and Scott 410?
My nephew used a junior version today at a clay ground and shot well concerning he’s only 12.
Compared to a Yildiz or Kofs they seemed pretty decent quality.
Fixed choke and non ejectors mind.
How much difference does a multi choke in a 410 even make? The barrels are so small does it even make any difference?
My BIL is looking to buy one for him to use now so considering the W&S vs Yildiz etc.
Fenn trap box
in Craft and DIY Section
Posted
Knocked up these today.
14” long x 5.5” wide x 5.5” high.
Just had some spare off cuts up my mates.
Not bad for free. Fenn mk4 fits inside but length ways, so the trap jaws are facing one of the entrance holes.
Does it have to be set so the trap jaws are facing the side and the rat enters from the side of the jaws?
I guess I will find out.
I thought one of those ready made plastic boxes but the inside was a bit cramped and the trap barely fits facing the side.
Much cheaper to knock some boxes up.
