  1. at least the raptors had a flat base to the pad, i added 1/2 inch to mine. my grifone has now expired ! stock/barrel/trigger group/action available for sale.
  2. 101 uses for a mousemat ! not perfect but the pigeons won't know. Has anyone else had the problem of finding an extension for their franchi affinity ? From what i can find the importer has decided not to stock/sell/import the TSA extended pads for this shotgun. So, i got to thinking about making one of my own. The pics show how i got on. I now have a LOP of 14.5 which matches the dimensions of my old 712 which has now expired (parts available if anyone needs them). I know the stocks are a different shape and they have changed a lot of the dimensions,but it comes up better than ever now. Just need to get it patterned and i will feel more confident. Stu
  3. i will take 2 pse. send details for payment
  4. go nicely with the carrier and 6 x bren guns the buyer has .
  5. Yes I will take these please. Will be collected
  6. i may have a buyer for you, not me. but a work colleague who actually has a fully functional roadworthy bren carrier!! can you hold until i see them tomorrow?? stu
  7. 4 hares plus i was carrying 1 as well.....ouch! every time one came close i had to drop it, then pick it up again. tried to get one in the netting but was a bit big to fit. those were on just 1 drive. only about a 1/2 mile walk. bag was well tested... so was i bag for the day was around 200
  8. had mine a few years now, spot on with no issues. you can get 4 hares in there at a push...thats a test for any bag.
  9. if you can still find them, altberg field and fell. good quality leather and very comfortable. picked up a pair a couple of years ago for £70 new. just like wearing slippers. buy a half size big if you can as they a comfy fit.
  10. wish i could still get em,great shell. english 5.5
  11. i have had 3 franchi auto's, all gas operated and i still have 2 now. i kept both 712's one is a std black action the other a grifone with nice wood stock. the 912 3.5 inch i sold went to a wildfowler and was a bit of a beast, not really for pigeon loads!! will never part with the 712's. piston settings are only really a problem on a light load, what did you want to use yours for??
  12. had a franchi 912 for a while, that was a 3.5inch chamber. a real beast!!
  13. just been to get a slab of shells and had a bit of a shock. even the basic power pigeon shells have increased form around £45 a slab to £55 !! 2 letters, 1 from gamebore 1 from another manufacturer on the counter blaming lead prices. has lead really gone up by 20%? whats it like in your dealers?
  14. nice one, used to love lure fishing for them. nice to see it held low over a mat,as you know.. they are fragile fish. lost all the enthusiasm after my "30"
  15. silver solder! if done right.plenty strong enuff.
  16. a sign of the times i think,i purchased mine back in 1988. with all the cost cutting etc the stock would be a good place to start cost cutting. iam not against plain stocks,1 of my franchis has a plain black plastic stock and i love it. care is nearly zero!!
  17. oh yes its well weighted. almost smack on the pin. think this passes a a good bit of wood.... p.s. i will get that forend to you,sometime!
  18. main thing against the old 682 is weight, my black actioned 28" 682 supersport weighs a hefty 8lb 12!! pro's .. the wood is amazing, and it dont kick much.
  19. liked the SLR better !! much more fun
  20. hmmm, always thought they had parallel blades to stop them riding up the screws and cutting them up....? 200 quid for plastic handles lol
  21. terrano for heavy stuff/proper off road. rav4 for a mix of road and some offroad. the 4.2 rav4 version has the best 4x4 system,permanantly engaged.
  22. or, just get used to it. my 682 from the eighties has always been like that! i just got used to it. as suggested probably an easy fix if you want to. shoot top barrel 1st it will be faster reloading that way if you only take 1 shot to kill
  23. same as above. can put you onto a 5 quid remote control switch too if your diy minded. :good:pm for details
