  3. Mossberg 500 Hushpower - The Law

    Is the moderator sleeve removable? If so, when you remove the sleeve with the stock retracted it will be too short. :good:

     

    :sly: its not, thats why it comes with a spare barrel.

     

    ellebarto if you really want one you can cut out edgar brothers and buy them on ebay (american version) or midwayuk and get them sent to you. just be careful, as with the "normal" barrel on it could work out too short - and the cops could easily say you intend to use it with the shorter barrel :hmm:

  6. ND-3 laser illuminator

    having used mayflys on a few occasions i can honestly say im 95% convinced theyre more than worth the money; couple of things i would fault with them is that the beam doesnt go wider for general scanning; you usually need to be looking through the scope to spot eyes at range; and its not that great for general use as a torch (not so great for spotting shot rabbits in undergrowth due to the green colour). as for range, i used mayfly's to spot a rabbit at 150+ yards one night on his hmr, dialled the beam in tighter to see the rabbit clearly then shot it :good:

     

    battery life is ok, the batteries are tiny so easy to carry spares if necessary, theyre light and if you lamp solo theyre great. i would say though if youre only worried about 80 - 100 yards just get one of the romisen torched for £20 instead of one of these at £300 though :) personally if i had the money id buy one tomorrow, but at the moment i have a list longer than my arm of stuff id like to buy; the nd3 has been put on it but theres a few other things first :good:

     

    ps elvis is takes it takes the same as most lasers, etc - the cr123a one, and yes, it illuminates stuff very well - up to 100 yards you dont have to worry about tightening the beam, over that its simple to tighten the beam up; though it can get a bit confusing at times picking out targets, simply because everythings green so you have to look for the rabbits shape (if u know wot i mean)

    Yeah i thinks been the issue. Edgar brothers think I'm after the foldable stock. I just want collapsible. I like the look but more than anything so I can get it in my cabinet!

     

    i think the problem is what youre calling it mate :) , do you just mean the stock slides forwards and back only? why not just take the barrel off to store it in the cabinet, it only takes a mo with 500's, pull the slide half back, unscrew the nut at the end of the mag tube and off it comes, goes back on just as quick too :good:

    that thing looks lethal why the hell would you want/need a reflex sight on a shotgun :S

     

    if i had one id probably do something similar, if you look at the gun...

    the bead isnt inline with the rib, the moderator holds it up a bit, plus itd be useful for low light shooting - heres the guys own words!!

     

    The new stock raised the sightline, however, making the gun shoot higher than before. As it happens, I had already identified sighting as an area that required attention, since the lack of a rib on the moderated barrel and the raised position of the bead at the end of the moderator together make it hard to judge where the shot pattern will be centred. Consequently, I added a Mossberg Weaver rail, for which the receiver is already drilled and tapped, and onto this I fitted an Eotech holographic sight.

     

     

    so whats the difference between a folding shotgun and this one? my 20g folds in half as well as a single shot 12g vickers i had. the 20g is on a 26" barrel and the barrel folds into the stock.

     

    your folding guns cant be fired when folded, whereas a folding stock type can be :)

     

    ellebarto you said about a folding stock, bit confused, do u mean the spas 12 up and over type? cant see what the problem would be with the stock on the gun in that link, its only adjustable, not foldable :good:

    So what damage are the geese doing to the land? Has the landowner said you can shoot them?

     

    You can't just shoot things because you can

     

    does that include pigeons being shot over stubble then? what damage are they doing if the crops already been harvested... :good:

     

     

    :):good::lol:

  10. It has finally happen

    Suzy, your best bet by far is to suddenly develop a nasty allergy to the washing machine and make them wash their own dirty clothes - They will soon learn how the washing mackine works when they have no clean clothes to wear while you put your feet up with a nice long cold glass of wine!

    You could always tell them that a good bribe might cure your sudden new allergy!

     

    soon learn?! :huh: frenchie i bought my washing machine 3 years ago when i started living on my own, and even though i bought the simplest one they had in the shop (4 buttons and a ****) i STILL have trouble making it start washing :) i think men just arent genetically programmed to understand washing machines :lol: an ex did try to teach me once, but the washing machine looked like something out of star wars, had 3 led read out screens - WHY?! she gave up when i kept asking which button was the photon torpedoes.... :lol: :lol: :lol:

     

    mrs s, simple answer - buy new shirts, or leave them soaking in a bucket of washing powder and bleach (used to work wonders on my white rugby shorts) :good: just a precaution though, remember that the bleach can really weaken the material, especially if theyre rugby shorts... :good:

  15. Shooter seeks SA80 .22

    in Wanted

    Posted

    OK just to confirm this is the section on OTHER TYPES OF SHOOTING?

    YES

    GOOD!

    So I target shoot I have NO interest in hunting just targets and clays

    For my timed .22 competitions I require a GOOD .22 self loader

    I have looked tested many-some I liked some I did not.

    I decided I should look back to my cadet days when I was a good shot

    so to my question

    I saw a prototype SA80 .22 self loader was wondering if anyone stocks this

    rifle Or knows any more about it.

    Or better still the LSW version in .22 REASON? I am an ex cadet (many years ago but still)

    and I was GOOD then my idea is may be it was the rifles I used then.

    For the few pains I am simply looking for a good rifle.

     

    i remember using the sa80 .22 variant years ago, and i did the same as yourself, bought a ruger 10/22, thought if i got a bullpup stock for it itd be great and id be shooting like i was before with the sa80 ;) soon found out it didnt work like that though :):D if you really want a bullpup rifle i think youre going to be limited to the walther g22 or a ruger 10/22 with a different stock - a dixie consolidated stock looks best, theyre aluminium and will ship tp the uk.

  19. Pigeon shooting in Northern Ireland

    in Talk From The Field

    Posted

    Do any of you guys know of anyone who would take/buy pigeons in county down, restaurants?? I would prob give them free unless they are offering something, be good if it would cover cost of carts.

     

    theres a game dealer in newry if thats any help :good:

     

    ohavnt been at the pigeons much lately, had a day last saturday (very poor) but alot of places are in the process of being cut here, so they move on as soon as a few shots are fired. im off all next week though, so going to hit them on a few days :good:
