  1. Piece of fishing line and use like a cheese wire to cut the foam. Then !ail me with a price you would like for it as I just snapped tip of mine. Lol
  2. Thanks gents. Full may of ten and it was 7.5mm. I think that will do. Just need some 2k carbon to make a silencer if any one knows a cheap source.
  3. Good company awareness and attitude on the Muller, well done. More could take a leaf from this book. As for the Beretta choke failure. Looks to me that it had split early in the day and then the gases have built up unnoticed until the gun was stripped that evening. Every thing fails over time. Bent a piece of metal enough and it will fail. Only takes a bit of slag when the billet was formed and theres the catalyst to failure U2 chokes arnt my thing as I like stainless that I can drop in the ultrasonic and give a good clean. But nothing would stop me buying if I needed. Optima+ use the mid thread too. My urika2 is 2008
  4. Extended choke means they haven't stick there finger down to teat it's tight as it can be felt from outside. Chokes always come loose when you put enough cart down. Winter rapenwhen its cold and you have short feeding times then its not unheard of to put 100-150 within a very short time, gun heats up and then cools which in turn loosens the choke. Even with a good grease or still get loose.
  5. I always try and use the extended as nothing worse than seeing users shove a finger in the choke to make sure its tight. What's wrong with that you say. Well! The guns are normally loaded still. In my semi I use 3\8 or 1/2 for decoyed birds and then up to 1/4 for flight lines or high birds. In the o/u its 1/2 and 1/4 most the time. As it works for me. I just had the o/u fitted by Nigel, best money spent this year. I hit something on Saturday so must have worked a little.
  6. Yes, agree, I gave an outdoor edge to a friend, the plastic shealth was much better and the knife held a better edge but, the hinge and washers they use are carbon steel and rust with blood. Have to strip the knife to clean it properly.
  7. Just watch out with the 4x4 insurance. I was paying £130 full comp on my paj. Covered wvwrything, including green laneing. Down side was because it didn't use the no claims scheme, I lost all the no claims I had built on my previous insurance. When I sold the paj and moved back to normal car I then found all my ncb had gone because of not used for more than 3 years. It took a little messing around but the broker I used sorted it all out for me in the end. I just took a year out on the car via him and he signed to say I had the full ncb I needed. Facebook 4x4 specialist insurance. No one could get near his prices and I used it once when so!done wrote the new car off into one off my 33" bfg's I let my insurance deal with it and claim it back of other parties insurance. So just watch the small print on ncb
  8. Think, once its finished I will end up selling. Owes a bucket load on man hours but done for the love of it really. Honest...
  9. Right, after. Lot of head scratching I have just about finished the stock. Need to make a stainless a him for in between the butt pad and stock and just waiting for my stainless sling swivels to turn up. After finding a good bleach to get the red out the atock and neutralising that chemical, I was then onto staining to a tone I liked and thought matched the rest of the rifle. First attempt turned blue and black, the blue looked good but the black would not take into some of the grain and left whiter patches. I hated it so back to the bleaching and a new stain. After near a week of coating, sanding more coatings and a finish of tru-oil, I'm more than happy with the way it turned out. This was how I picked it up. It was OK but not great. This is it now. The barrel is waiting its 2Kcarbon shroud when it gets here and the couple outer bits I mentioned earlier. So, keep or sell? Found a BSA superten in need of help but need funds. Thanks for looking Phil
  10. No, just as it comes. I have just realised that I put is down somewhere on Friday, in the house, and don't know where. If I find it I will take a photo on the state it all gets in as I didn't clean when I got home Friday evening.
  11. G3 is my knife of choice now. Bright yellow, kept sharp and has felt with 100 or so deer with no issues. On thing I hate is the case, its carp. The little tag is always in the way as you try to shealth the knife. Mines near cut through now. Would love a leather one if anyone what's to make me one.

    Is that single 18650 Dave. In IR?
  13. I used a couple of hmr case to mount the skull and the two brass pins to mount the reloaded case. No powder and old primer.
  14. Nice one, one that you will remember for a very long time. My first was smaller in the head but it was crown cut, bleached and put on a shield with the case from the 6.5 mounted under it. It sits on my workshop door and reminds me of all I went through to grass the first. Well done again.
  15. Easy answer. Set up without birds on it, the carbon bum rod points up and points the way forward
  16. Its not pink now, I found what works. Its back to plain wood now so can start playing with colours. Wood have been easier to hydro dip the flipping thing lol
  17. Thanks telf, not really clever, stubborn and tight I get told. Evo, the stock has been stained and is very very pink. Stripper will not touch it and i dont want to throw another stain over the top to end up with a real pants colour. Its toning down but so far its been 3 coatings of hydrogen peroxide Tried a few thing so next today is the harsh bleaching, peroxide and lye. Can buy it from Ruskin's for £30 but thats a rip off. All they do is name it part A and part B, well I can do that with a £4 bottle of hydrogen peroxide and a £5 box of sodium hydroxide. I will take an other photo of the colour later, it really is pink.
  18. Bleach on, not done this before so time will tell. Again, sorry about all the posts, mobile phones and me don't get on when it comes to typing
  19. Not sure what happened with that post. Here's the pink look. Stock is wet as I was about to paint the bleach on.
  20. Starting the stripping. Put one coat on at around 6pm then a second a couple hours later. This morning I scrapped all the gunk off, came off easy, but the pink stain is not to my taste.
  21. Cheers guys. It will be nice. I hope. Think one of these adjustable butt pads are needed as the polished alui will help blend things in. Also need to make a couple stainless sling swivels
  22. I couldnt belive the way they did the safety. But and bolt. It was cack looking. All I did was make a sleeve for the bolt to lock into. Its made to measure once the trigger pull length was taken into account. I popped the anti-tamper out as well. A pin glued in that was ruff cut to length. Also a bad job. It will be fine for the rats Mr preen.
  23. Flipping eck evo. You daystate tart. Just put it back in the stock so I can run it all in, check for leaks and re bed the barrel after a deep clean. One hole groups with 3 differant makes of pellets. 14.3 grain seams to be the sweet weight. Now its back in the stock, even though temporary, I'm not sure whether I'm keeping it or selling it on. Might change once stock is done. I have truoil here already, 12 coats then flat it back and 2 top coats gives a hard satin finish. Staining black, well sort of, so needs the listed to pull it off I think. Hense the reason why shiny bits on rifle. Might change idea yet, I normally do.
