i have the 917v mate, standard non thumbhole version, theyre an excellent piece of kit. need to be kept clean (i give mine a full clean after every 30 or so shots) but accuracy is unbelieveable - on my first day zeroing i was getting clover leaf and same hole groups at 100 yards, and at 150 yards it was putting the rounds exactly where i wanted
everyone seems to advise to go for cz's but im definitely glad i went for a marlin, any cz ive held or used has felt too light to me
only con's are they usually dont come screw cut, also the magazine guide bar (hard to explain unless youre holding a gun, but its the bit of metal that sticks down like a guide rail for the mag
) can require a bit of adjustment to hold the magazine in the right position to feed the rounds, but its very simple to do sort, you just bend it forwards slightly, took me 2 seconds to do it

Being drunk and asleep in your car is not an offence unless you are in control of your car i.e. keys in ignition, intention to move it etc. The give away would be the asleep bit - being asleep not quite the same as being in control or considering going for a drive. Indeed, even if guilty of drunk in charge of a vehicle you can get just 6 points for that and no ban - a very minor RTA offence. However, this is all speculation because she was charged with *nothing* and is not guilty of anything. I would also add that in my experience, if the police do find someone drunk in charge of a car i.e. drunk and in a car which is stationary, they will always hang around for as long as possible to see if the keys get turned and the car starts rolling because that's when it could become drink driving and decent collar.
Who on here hasn't been drunk and asleep in a car at some point? And with no intention to drive the vehicle until sober. Indeed, between the ages of 17 and 25 I spent most of my weekends drunk and asleep in a variety of cars.
Besides, the point is serving police officers can't do this to people who are drunk, sober, guilty or innocent.
Absolute disproportionate use of force and an assault. Court says so, and 6 months inside says so.
Glad to see so many people on here supporting a person who is a convicted criminal and guilty of assaulting a 59 year old woman. Very big and brave stuff.
Mind you, as a convicted criminal if the officer in question got a taste of his own medicine whilst taken into custody would those agree that as a convicted criminal he got what was coming to him. Oh the delicious irony of it all
from what i was told simply being in the car and having your keys in your possession is enough to get done, i remember dealing with a guy once who'd been done for it because he was sleeping in the back seat of his car while drunk

oh well, never would have happened if she had provided the sample for the breathalyser - and by the looks of things she never got around to giving them one either
Ms Somerville was arrested in July 2008 after being found asleep in her car.
She had been detained for failing to provide a sample for a breath test but denied any wrongdoing. The Crown Prosecution Service said the charges were later dropped due to insufficient evidence - bbc link!
so there you go, if you want to get off a drunk driving/drunk in charge conviction simply refuse to give a sample to police then get a cop to throw you face first into a floor, then theyll be too busy rushing you to a+e to worry about how hammered you are

nice one, youll like it i guarantee it

Im wise enough to know the diffence between moaning and stress. You always have an option.
option? hmm lets see, im 26 yrs old and buying a house on my own, so i need a certain wage each month. i dont have a car (couldnt afford one anyway) so im quite limited in my career choices, and although my pay is **** its higher than what id be on if i worked in sainsbury's, or the local plastics factory, etc, (which seems to be about the only jobs going at the moment).
so yes, i suppose youre right, i do have a few choices. i could leave here, start working elsewhere on a lower pay, not be able to afford to pay the bills, lose the house, become homeless...
or i can cause a row in work over the treatment im receiving, which will then mean i wont finish these exams, be made redundant/fired over some technicality, then go down the sainsburys route again
or i could do what a load of my mates have done, go on the sick, claiming they cant work and get paid to sit on their ***** all day long doing nothing, though i have a disability which would prevent me doing that - its called pride
are those the choices youre talking about mate? cos they dont seem like much of a choice to me!
ps yes, stress and mental illness arent the same thing, however stress can lead on to mental illness

nah nowt like meldrew I do like a good laugh and a GOOD drink as well, hate cats, dont see the need for the likes of rotties, hate corrupt coppers ( was educated in their ways when I was 15) what else oh went to dublin ONCE hated that as well expensive **** hole with overpriced slop.
KW
then thats one of the few things we will agree on (even if its meant as a jibe) as dublin is a complete ****hole, although i dont know why you brought it up, you might as well be talking about paris for the relevance dublin has to me, saying as how its the capital of a foreign country

do you find this acceptable? if you do its not the society I wish to live in, as for the pound signs ? she said naff all he was shopped by another copper, and listen to what his boss said when groveling an apology, so again don't let the facts spoil a good story!!
KW
yep totally acceptable, if people werent so concerned about their "rights" and more worried about the consequences of breaking the law (as im sure refusing to co-operate is illegal, isnt it?) then society wouldnt be in the state its in now :look:
anyway i think its time i started to keep a list of things you hate kdubya. in the last couple of weeks alone youve been very vocal about wanting to kill cats, rottweilers, and now the police are being hammered (again). what happened, did a police rottweiler bite you once when it was chasing a cat burglar? or are you just pw's own victor meldrew?
and ps the bit about pound signs was tongue in cheek, as youve yet again failed to notice (but lets not let that get in the way of a good argument, eh?
) -
What a load of old poop.
The old "there must be more to this" tripe to defend the indefensible. Did you watch the CCTV?
What do *the facts* say? Oh, yeah, don't worry about those getting in the way eh?
Oh well.
yep i did watch it, and as for facts mung, well im sorry but youre not being very observant, i thought i did use them? are the facts not that she was sleeping in her car and refused to give a breath sample (so not co-operating with police and possibly drunk), was taken into the station, and was slammed face first into the floor by a cop who was later done for it
in fact the only non factual things were that i speculated that she had given the cops a bit of aggro whilst refusing to give a sample and so was dragged into the station, and then i said it is debateable whether a drunk driver/drunk in charge deserved to be face planted onto a concrete floor or not.
so can you please explain how i have twisted the facts in this case, as im baffled?!
-
she refused to co-operate and didnt give a breath sample, i doubt the conversation went "can we have a breath sample?", "eh, no you cant, sorry", "oh ok then come to the station", "righto, off we go!"
im sure there was a bit more aggro in there than that! now whether as a drunk driver/in charge of vehicle who refused to co-operate with the police she deserved to have her face smashed into the floor is debateable, i know a couple of people who have had family killed by drunk drivers who would argue that its nothing close to what she deserves, but the cop broke the law and he got done for it, seemples. i do have to wonder how much crime would go down if people thought they were going to get a hiding rather than get a slap on the wrist and half an hours community service from some liberal judge
actually no, i dont have to wonder, 10 years ago there was very very little crime or anti social behaviour in my town. now the place is full to the brim of druggies, burglar's, travellers, etc. simple reason? the guys with balaclava's and baseball bats kept the place in order, now theyre all retired! ps and she possibly wasnt done because the police tried to cover it up "you let it drop and we wont charge you" sort of thing, but she probably saw pound sisgns floating in front of her eyes after the swelling went down
:good: -
You will NEVER shoot anyone with an unloaded gun.
ive yet to see a fox shot with an unloaded gun either
:hmm: -

in latvia last year they just skinned and gutted then divided it, didnt worry about pinning it out with sticks, etc; the only thing they did which wasnt "as usual" was cutting parts off (male) as aparantly the testosterone spoils the meat

Lez wins, it's deadly night shade
OH ****!! theres a load of that stuff growing at the side of my dog pen, didnt know what it was, id better sort that out asap then!!

you didnt shoot an expensive racing pigeon that was on its way to winning a race...
:beer:what you shot, infact, was a racing pigeon that has gone feral from a loft
happens quite regularly, and youre doing the pigeon boys a favour by getting rid as these ferals can distract and divert "proper" (ie still living in a loft) racing pigeons, making them go feral too. and theres no point ringing the owner and telling him you shot this bird (or telling him you found the body of his bird near a quarry after you disturbed a large peregrin falcon, whilst rabbit hunting, as once hapened me... ) as you dont want to advertise to too many people that youre a gun owner, plus as racers turn feral all the time youd only be disturbing him with unwanted calls - and why would a racer drop into a decoy pattern if it was too busy winning a race?? ??? best to take the ring off (cut leg if you have to...), leave the body for mr fox, dump the ring in the bin at home, and congratulate yourself on a job well done

It depends how big the knife was
it was one of these, smuggled over and smuggled back

well, ryanair wont carry guns and i wasnt going over there totally unarmed...
??? -
that must make you feel less like a man.
I have taken a couple of my ex's shooting before but neither of them really took to it. Might try it with the current one, although I think she wouldn't be too keen in killing anything.
i didnt feel right again til i went out after wild boar in -15 degree bear/wolf infested forests, armed only with an old baikal, 4 solid slug shells and a knife...
??? -
the current one doesnt shoot but is starting to show an interest, even helping me pick out a new shotgun
shes a bit squemish but i might buy an air rifle and see if she takes to it two of my previous ones were into guns, though not hunting - one was a cop, one night i dropped my wallet in the car and when i reached down for it i picked up a glock
the other one was from latvia, and ill tell you nothing quite bruises your ego like your gf telling you that your .22lr's a bit small , as that the first gun she was taught to strip and shoot was an AK47! -
bet i could if i was drunk
-
Thats NICE!!!!
You should get the silouhette in 20" barrel....LIGHT it AINT!!!
dont know which cz's ive used, but any of them have felt too light to be, even with scope/bipod/sling/mod all fitted
oh well, each to his own!

ALIEN!!

work stress is rubbish. If you have a real need to worry about it, then i understand. People who grip about how **** their job is are just moaning ********. If you dont like it, move on. If you have sick family, or are being made redundant, this is stress. Its not a mental illness, its just a part of life. Always try and see the good in people and situations, this will (sometimes) ease the situation.
Anyone for yoga?
oh wise up and dont talk ****! plenty of people dont have the option of moving jobs, especially in the current climate, and so have to stick it out - plenty of employers know this and use it to their advantage, i know my company do and plenty of other friends are in the same boat - ive had the threat of redundancy hanging over my head for the last 2 years, and it usually gets carted out when it suits them, especially when i enquire about the pay rise i was promised 3 years ago and never got (which was incidentally to bring my pay up to the SAME level as the women in the office who do the same job as me, who all are on a HIGHER pay band than me but some have worked here LESS time than me).
why am i still here? cos im in the middle of doing exams through work and have to put up with it (and keep my nose clean) til i get them and can escape

i went for the marlin over the cz for the same reason, the marlin felt like a proper gun, the cz felt like it would blow away in a light gust of wind
thats about the long and short of it . it feels right !
when you say kept clean do you mean bore snake after each outing or every so often ?
im a lazy beretta shooter so cleanig isnt my strong point . lol
i found with mine i had to give it a full clean every 50ish shots to keep the accuracy spot on, by full clean i mean bore brush and patches til it was spotless, and by spot on accuracy i mean clover leafs at 100 yards and dead centre of the bull at 150 yards when i was shooting straight
having said that mine was brand new and i doubt the barrel is settled in yet, things might change after its settled in

Im quite at ease with cows growing up on a farm, we have one bull who can get a bit big for his boots and he starts putting his head down when you walk towards him, all you've got to do is get a stick and give him a smack on the edge of his nose and he soon retreats to the top of the shed. When a cow on heat is around its a different story
shot shot grew up in the countryside and i grew up in a small village with some family farming, so im usually at ease with them too, just a bit cautious; richie (who i was lamping with) grew up on a farm and usually takes the p*** outta me for being careful, but when i said to him the other night "richie those sucklers are running towards us" i turned around and all i saw was his boot soles disappearing through the hedge
