  1. Hi walker

    Was hoping around £20 max as new ones are £50 ish I just want a cheap set to try on some new land 

    How long are your set

    Are you Burton side of the m42 junction ???

  2. Set of used lofting poles wanted must be cheap condition doesn't matter as long as they fit together ok 25 -30ft ideally 

     

  3. Been to one of my permissions today and sat with the binoculars watching the rooks frantically building their nests ready for the year

    This wood gas been very quiet over the winter not sure where they go but they are back here in numbers now 

    Should I strart shooting them or let them be for a while as I know I need to thin them out for the farmer But I don't want to scare them off and stuff my shooting up and them to move on to another area 

  4. Many thanks for all the replies I will give doveridge shooting ground a call only 15 mins up the road

    I'm having tuition with Joe Neville at the moment - two lessons in and I'm shooting both eyes open (left eye master, right handed), and basic clays going 1 out of 5 to 4 or 5 out if 5! 

    One to one with only us two on his grounds.  Loads of traps and a great chap too, I'll be having another few lessons with him. I've my own carts  and gun but he can provide if you haven't any. Charges around 60

    Where is he based please 

  5. I have contacted a company called Pennsports regards getting some lessons on shooting with both eyes open as I am struggling at the minute to master this, I have had a price of £165 per hour plus cartridges plus clays does this sound about right for shooting lessons as its a bit more than I thought it would be just wondered what any of you have paid in the past 

     

    Cheers 

  6. Also forgot to say opened the crop of 3 birds 2 had minimal amounts of rape in them and one had what looked like clover leaves perfect whole very small leaves would this be clover ????

    None of the birds had much in there crop quite empty to be honest why would this be birds were shot at different times throughout the day

    You wait till she decides what your punishment is. 😀

    Now 10 hours for five birds is dedication, did you have a good book and comfy chair.

    Had a comfy chair and 4g on my phone so browsed eBay a little but mainly just enjoyed being outside for the day 

  7. Went out today was set up by 1st light and stayed all day till 4.45pm nice wind from behind, I have watched these fields and the pigeons have been on them and the damage is plain to see but they were not there today only good thing is the birds I did shoot decoyed into my pattern very well with no hesitation.

    Hardly saw a bird all day nearly 10 hrs in the hide and only 5 birds I went 3 hrs at one point around lunch without seeing a pigeon anywhere but hey ho at least when I got home the wife had washed her car cleaned the leaves up and mowed the lawn so not all bad

    Fit a Timney ,they make a proper job of it .

    Looked at these £109 compared to £15 for a spring kit which 1000's of people have fitted so will gamble on the cheaper option 1st and do bump test etc to make sure it's safe 

  9. Go down your local computer shops and ask if they have any old laptop batteries you can have strip them down and they will be 18650 batteries normally about 8-10 in each battery some will be ok some not but they are free

    Take it to Brock and norris get the trigger sorted and set then you will know it's right.

    Have it done right the trigger will be a lot better than you just changing springs and you know it will be safe.

    Now you have me concerned are you saying by fitting the kit from rimfire magic its unsafe they informed me they have sold over 6000 of the kits

    In what way will this kit make it unsafe 

    Thanks

    Try Rimfire Magic in Yorkshire for a trigger kit. About £15. I bought the Yodave kit for my 452. It came with 4 springs of different weights, and some colour coded rollers of different diameters.  I only only needed to change the spring for a lighter one, which is a dead easy job. Plenty of videos on  youtube. 

    Hope this helps.

    Just spoke to them and ordered a kit £15 delivered 

    Thanks for the help

  12. I have just bought a lovely second hand cz 452 and was out yesterday setting the scope up and I noticed the trigger feels very stiff to pull and almost to the point it goes clunk when fired

    I have read about trigger mods for this where the spring is replaced. Is this the only thing required to sort the issue out or will it need to go to a gunsmith for more in depth work.

    If a spring kit is all I need which do you recommend I fit as there are a few variations

    I would like to get the trigger to feel more like my hw100 air rifle if that's possible

    Cheers

    The great thing is there are no 'computerised, parts as such. It is still like a big Meccano set and parts are easily replaced. 

    Yes Walker thats another thing no ecu to go wrong no cambelt on mine its chain just feels like it was built to last i am in it now as i type watching some rape fields 

    I would trust this pajero every time over and above all the latest disco and range rovers I have had that went wrong every week 😄😄

  14. 9 years ago I bought a cheap pajero as a run around whilst waiting for my new disco 4 to be built, I thought I would run round in this pajero for winter and sell it when the disco arrived.

    Disco arrived but I just could not part with the pajero so kept it, it is a 1996 swb manual 2.8td I have used it for shooting ever since and in 9 years all I have done is brake pads and a clutch kit

    Its amazing off road I have hankook AT tyres on it and it has never got stuck even in the deepest of mud I have jacked it up a bit by winding the torsion bars up

    I can use it in 2 wheel rear wheel drive 4 wheel high or go 4 wheel low which also locks the centre diff in this mode it really is unstoppable I paid £1400 for it in 2010 and it's still worth that now according to eBay and autotrader on other people selling them 

    It really is my own little tonka toy I will run it till it dies now

    What do you have that just keeps going

  15. I own an mot station and the above is correct if the test station says the vehicle is dangerous you are not able to drive it away from there legally

    Also be careful with Halfords and any other large chain they are all on profit related pay and must up sell its part of their wage structure hence they will find everything they can

    We had a young lady book her car in for rear axle bushes to be replaced on a Honda that Halfords had failed it on the mot we had it up on the ramp and could find nothing at all wrong with the bushes they were not even a slight advise they were fine she took it back and they said it was hard to see on their ramp as it was a 4 post lift not a 2 post, thing is we checked it on one of out 4 post lifts 1st and it was easy to see they were ok

    Be careful my advise would be pay your money and go find a decent small independent garage and avoid the large chains 

    Lad who works for me used to run a depot of a large fast fit chain and one day area manager came in with 12 cans of WD40 told my mate to tell staff to spray all rear shockers with WD40 and tell customers they are leaking as they had an offer on rear shockers that month and needed to get sales up which is a terrible way to run a business
