  1. Good deal here ******************
  2. Getting a bit silly now isn't it................... :unsure:
  3. You wanna bet!!!!!!!!!!!! Lad around the corner was after a narrowboat and had his eye on one moored on the canal at Halesowen. When he went to make further enquiries he was met by a distraught owner who said someone had stolen it the night before and the police were looking for it. Apparently they only need a coat of paint and a bit of personalizing and even the owner wouldn't know it if it passed him on the canal.
  4. Bought Jack Pike sling orft fleebay last week. What a pile of **** It's so thin I'm afraid to hang a rifle off it in case it breaks.
  5. Does the extractor have a split down the middle or is it in one piece?
  6. If it's just chokes you want blued, take 'em into a proper gunsmith and he will simply drop them into a small bluing tank filled with hot salts. Job takes @ 15 minutes and if you find out when he is going to be doing a few jobs and he has the tank heated up and running you may be able wait for them. Went into the Gun Quarter in Brum last year on a Friday, and he had the tank ready for another job, so he dropped a shotgun trigger guard in whilst I waited. Cost me a fiver.
  7. No dave.....Lorraine is invincible As for results with cold blueing.......I've tried 'em all and the results never stand up to any use, and wear very quickly
  8. Whatever you use you will always get that bad egg smell with a cold blue. And they almost always contain selenium dioxide which is a very nasty poison ..............so use gloves and don't put your fingers in your mouth or eat whilst you're using it . :sick:
  9. ooooops sorry.......it's 223 And yes I made that mistake of cutting my T3 .243 down to 18" and then found that no matter what weight of bullet/powder I tried I could never make it past 1600-1650 ME. In the end chose to buy a .308 but still use the T3 for fox.
  10. Sorry if I seem a little flippant but some of these questions have been so done-to-death that sometimes I feel a bit like -------here we go again. A backstop is something that is going to stop your shot.............obvious!!!!!!!!!! Now that could be anything in real terms but obviously it wants to be something that isn't going to be dangerous in itself, such as a huge boulder that is going to either ricochet or bounce material straight back at you. Most of us shoot so that the bullet should hit a bank, or side of a hill etc which is the best backstop you can get... Unlike one lad I shot with who actually believed that his shots were safe ............because any bullets that didn't hit the target...........................were stopped by the woodland behind. I kid you not!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  11. Cut the gert 26" barrel down to 20" and fitted a Wildcat. Grreat shooter
  12. 50g of shot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Jeezus you lads must be built like Japanese shinto houses
  13. Had an Rem 700 SPS in .223 and I routed out the plastic ribs in the fore-end and then epoxied a strip of o1 steel into it. No trouble in shooting off a bipod after that. You don't really need a router as a couple of minutes with a sharp chisel is easy enough. Oh I also filled the butt up with P40 ( watch out it gets ........ing hot ) which also made the rifle a little heavier at the shoulder end and helped a bit with the balance.
  14. you missed out the word "Advice"
