Formerly employed by W J Jeffery & Co, B Halliday left to establish his own business in 1921 at 60 Queen Victoria Street.
He moved in 1925 to 63 Cannon Street. At this time he offered gun fitting and coaching at the West London Shooting School.
In 1942 B Halliday & Co acquired the business of W H Pollard & Son.
In 1965 the firm was acquired by Watson Greenfield of Greenfields of Salisbury, Wiltshire.
The IGC is able to give some information on serial numbers and dates, email archives@internetgunclub.com with details of your gun.

Go back to http://jds-dwh.demonweb.co.uk/dns.htm
It has a new fix script which will help you fix this.
Anyone else having these problems can try the fix. In itself the fix doesn't actually do anything, it just locates the correct file and loads it into notepad for you.
Pin,
You are, heap big medicine man !!!!.
You fixem pictures good...
Seriously, many thanks

Remmy: What operating system and version are you running, ie 98/ME/2000/xp etc ?

Can you see my first picture in this topic (rooks in box)
No picture just a square box with a red cross in it, with the words "attached image" at the side of it.

Hi if you can't see the picture below (some rooks in a cardboard box) then please do the following:
Download and run: http://jds-dwh.demonweb.co.uk/forum.html
then close down your internet browser and reload this webpage to see if the image below works.
Please note if you can see the image below but not some other images (specifically those posted by NTFF, Remy) then you do not need to do anything- but they will need to reupload their pictures after running the script above.
HELP
Still unableto see pictures, just get user posted image and a square with red cross in it, tried downloading and running above and all it says is " fix not detected in your system, exiting press any key to continue "
I am running windows XP home and IE7, any advice on how to view pictures ?

mickymiroku,
On Browning/Miroku guns manufactured after 1975, the two letters that make up part of the serial number are the date codes and are interpreted as follows:
Z = 1
Y = 2
X = 3
W = 4
V = 5
T = 6
R = 7
P = 8
N =9
So a gun with the serial number: 58612PV was manufactured in 1985
How you date a gun manufactured after 1999, i aint got a clue :*)

micrometer? they are for mesuring external sizes. Youl need a Vernier gauge for that.
Or a nice simple cheap choke gauge which fits into the muzzel, and depending on which depth it goes to, will tell you the gauge of the choke.
Hunter,
External micrometers measure external sizes.
Internal micrometers measure internal sizes.
or at least they did last time I used one.

if its illegal to cut them open, then why doesn't it say so on the packet.
cheers
Bindi
It also doesn't warn you not to chew them, or throw them on a bonfire, but I wouldn't recommend it.
bindi
I think it comes under the legislation that deals with the shooting of haggis !!!
But I may be wrong.
Cranfield,
It doesn't warn you not to use them as a suppository either. :*) :*)

It`s illegal to cut open a cartridge.
Do what Mr P says hand it in to the local plod,then it`s their problem
Thats news to me, why is it illegal ? :thumbs:

Agree or disagree, it is still another ban that the government has managed to impose.
I wonder what will be next, shooting, fishing, having more than one child ?
When your freedom of choice is gone, then what, freedom of speech.

Seventeen year old flexicoy's, and still pulling the birds.

My appoligise Silvertop for giving mis-information about a surface coating application. I though we were given advice as to a good quality high end performance aqueous dispersion polymer with a low VOC which would be suitbale for fine quality hard woods
Bloody ell I 'm telling Bindi to but fence paint on his precious walnut
Must be the head cold
Jonno
jonno
Even with the sarcastic intonation apology accepted.
But, if you had read bindi's initial post carefully, he wishes to oil finish the stock, you were advising him to apply a coating the like of which he has probably spent days removing, and which in my opion is more suited to a fence than a gun stock

NOT A BLEEDIN FENCE :< :<

Humbrol, Dark Green, matt finish. ( for shooting over rape )
Humbrol, Dark Earth, matt finish, ( for shooting over stubbles )
Available from any good Hobby or Model shop.

They are taperd gauges that drop into the ends of the barrells of any 12 bore shotgun, used to measure the amount of choke constriction.
Slightly more accurate than sticking your finger down the end :(

bindi,
My prefference is to let the wood speak for itself, and not to artificially enhance its natural colour and graining. Remeber that the wood if oiled finished will with age naturaly darken.
But if you do want the quik fix, then the Birchwood Caseys walnut stain is good.
I normaly dilute it 60% stain 40% water, remember you can always add more coats to achive your desired colour, but you can't take it off.
Good luck with your project.

bindi,
Are you sure you want it any darker ?
Try wiping a little water on the stock, this will give you a good indication as to the depth of colour and grain enhancement you will achieve by just oiling the stock.
Nice piece of wood you have there .

In my opinion the wood pigeon is an agricultural pest, which is why we have an open licence to shoot them.
I respect everything I shoot, by ensuring I kill it cleanly.
I do not hold mystical rituals over their remains, nor do I eat everything I shoot.
What I don't want is sold, given away, or buried.
To elevate wood pigeon to "Game" status, is to invite a close season.
so cranfield you never ever shoot and have to ring any pigeons necks then?:blink:
youre a lier or worse mate !!!!
by ensuring i kill it cleanly every time i dont think so
KIRKY640 You have obviously failed to comprehend Cranfields post.
But i feel that enlightenment may be on its way

The police have the power to revoke immediatly and confiscate any firearms held

I purchased the Musto camouflage coat last year, when it first appeared on the market. and Musto say iam not overly impressed with it.
The front fastening zip is far to small and fiddly.
The elasticated waist, draw string is pathetic and becomes detached from its internall fixing point within the coat, if tightened.
The coat is not warm enough unlees you purchase the Zip in fleece at addittional cost.
Oh! and I felt rather Pi**ed off to find a label in the garment saying:
Made In China.
Football pitches ???.
