We use shower shine - after every shower just a couple of puffs (!) along the top of the screen and the screen just needs the odd wipe with a glass cleaner every couple of weeks.

It's no good....I cant help myself....Eggs and Flour?.....she was battered then? No offence intended.

Now there's an idea Walker570 - anyone purchasing items from an outlet owned by Muslims should wear a Balaclava in the store.

Get a phone with "call guardian" fitted - less than £30 on the Bay and it's a BT phone - bought ours about 2 years ago after receiving up to 10 calls a day - not one since .

Cannot help but think that this is a simple attempt to gain support for Boris and lead his way to being PM. The majority of people are saying "good on you Boris" and joining in a massive back patting party - I like Boris but this is being blown out of all proportion for a reason.

I must have 2 unique S410's then cos neither has shifted zero (apart from when changing scopes!) since I've owned them - had the odd occasion where I thought zero had shifted but back home on a soft rest and bang on. As for the front support shifting, as long as the screws are tight then you would need considerable force to twist the barrel - not a design fault but surely a lack of care or brain cells. The BSA barrel is held in place by 2 tiny grub screws, same as the AA, the only difference is the larger dia of the barrel - but you then have to bring the quality of manufacture into the equation to ascertain which is most firmly held - both are also fitted into an alloy body I believe - hardly a recipe for robust construction. Anyhow - next time I go sea fishing I will bow to my superiors and hold the rod, one handed, just behind the reel. Free floating a barrel is all about harmonics and preventing anything touching the barrel and thus affecting it in any way and not to do with strength. Let's run a simple experiment - you clamp your BSA to a workmate, or similar, and fire a shot downrange - note it's position then hang a 3kg weight off the end of your barrel and fire another - I will do likewise with my S410, then lets see who's point of impact drops the most.
-
Why would free floating barrels prevent this? Surely a supported barrel is far less likely to move when bumped around in a bag or the boot of your car - bit like saying that I can hold my fishing rod more rigid with one hand than with two? Free floating barrels have never been promoted as being more robust as far as I can recall.

Aldi Solar panel - Fencer unit battery
bruno22rf replied to Salop Matt's topic in Gamekeeping and Shoot Management
But then your bonnet is up and the panel is outside the car? Unless you thread it thru the dash which would be a pain - I think the output is so low that they are not much use on a car battery. -
Why would the state want your organs velocette?? Trust me, it doesn't - a sick and dying person somewhere who has come to terms with the idea of dying but has just one glimmer of hope - that something about to be thrown away could be their saviour does. If your child was dying of Renal failure (God Forbid) I'm guessing that you would give them one of your Kidneys and gladly accept that the NHS (or "the state") is going to spend £40k plumbing it in then paying thousands of pounds a year to keep her alive? Why is the idea of giving someone life so hard to swallow? Maybe a walk down the local Hospital and a quick peek in the Dialysis unit would open your eyes?

Mine and my families thanks go virtually every day to the 18 year old young lady that carried the donor card and enabled me to be part of my children's lives as they grew up over the last 13 years - unless faced with the situation it is hard to explain how you feel when you realise that another persons thoughtfulness and care has given you life, there cannot be a greater gift surely? God Bless her, I only wish I could tell her somehow.

By design PCP's have an almost built in regulator - when the hammer strikes (via the valve) against the cylinder's internal pressure the valve will be forced closed by said pressure and the speed of closing will determine how long the valve remains open - short bursts of high pressure versus longer bursts of a lower pressure as stored pressure drops - a regulator simply maintains a constant feed of constant pressure to the valve - more consistency and less wasted air. In real terms the most difference will be felt at both extremes of shot count capability - for arguments sake the first and last 30 shots (don't forget....MOST difference) - you can avoid this problem by A / charging your rifle less than it's max refill level and B/ knowing how many shots your gun is capable of before velocity starts to noticeably drop - in short the "sweet spot" - if you have this latter information then you should routinely carry that amount of pellets - simple. If you buy a regulated gun then life is generally a little easier for you but it is not the cure all that some may think and it does not make you a good shot, it simply removes one of the variables. Is it my imagination or are members getting on a lot better than in previous years - it's so refreshing to read genuine questions and intelligent answers from members on this section - you are all a credit to our sport. p.s. Walker570 - thank you for your kind remarks.

Please don't take this the wrong way ELIMINATOR but if your son is type 1 and was smoking then he needed a good talking to - you are dead right about the hands though - I had type1 for 30 years and several operations on my hands and nobody ever told me it was linked to diabetes - even now, several years after having type1 I am suffering from carpel tunnel.....bloomin hurts at times .

Social scobydog - my personal thoughts are that if you work for it and buy it then nobody should be able to touch it - as for mental issues in our midst, couple of weeks back I found myself in A&E with my son - there were at least 50 people waiting for triage as we were being seen by a Doctor - in the bay next to us was a young man demanding to have his feet washed - he could not do it at home because "the bad demons wont let me use the sink" - every time they tried to discharge him he screamed like a banshee till eventually they just left him wasting a bay - wonder what the 50+ people behind him would have thought?

Just buy a complete tank/whip/gauge specifically for Airgun charging - plenty around at keen prices or look around for used ones for sale - only thing you will need to fit is your specific adapter - simples.

In my local area (10 miles outside MK) there seems to be a lot of older people living as a couple in large 3 bedroom houses - it's a harsh thing to do but these people should be forced to move to more suitable housing and accept the fact that it might be in a different area, surely this is just a fact of life if you live in social housing.

We have this quite often - second only to bubble and squeak - we almost crisp the cheese (medium cheese is best for crispin) and have it with Plum Tomatoes and Corned Beef.

Don't get why you would carry a Baseball Bat just because you've been attacked on one isolated incident - asking for trouble + why would Diabetes make your hands hurt? Just asking as there must be more to this - the Police have no right to remove your property without a good reason, the onus should be on them to indicate why they think that your son lives with you.

As 39TDS says - Tesco own brand are in short supply but Pepsi Max in the 24's seem easy to get - couple of Supermarkets doing them for £6/24.
-
Feeling a little isolated now.....nothing seems to want to bite me - if I get bitten twice a year then it's a bad year.
-
Ooooooh Walker570, that's the love of my life you are dissing there - my 04 4.4 looks almost new - the BMW engine one's (03 - 06?) are reputedly the best built with the thickest paint.

TBH Mice, I'm a bit weird! Even though 70 pellets could be as many shots as I get in a month, if I have the thought in the back of my head that I might run out then it messes with both my brain cells and I cannot relax - everything needs to be perfect when I sally forth or I don't feel right - phone in the correct pocket, boot laces double tied, face veil tucked inside my hat along with both gloves (that I never wear) - the list goes on. My lad is the same to a degree with clay shooting - if he misses the first clay then we may as well just go home - think it could be a family thing .
-
Glad to oblige Stu - .410 carbine in .22 (like mine) will fire 50 shots with a maximum deviation of 1% in velocity (7fps) or just over 60 shots if you accept a 1.5% variation (9.5fps) according to the AA owners forum. I fill to 170 bar and normally carry 70 pellets with me on a hunting trip (2 x magazines+52 in a plastic tub) so I know to recharge when I run out of pellets but usually I top up after 2 or 3 trips or if pressure is below 140bar when I get home, charging to max (190bar) simply wastes pellets as the first handful of shots will strike low.

Always thought they were made (poorly) by Jabali ( amongst various other Spanish makers)- had one years ago and "myth" was all I did with it - imported by a Gunshop of the same name I believe long since gone bust?

Hard to resist fiddling around with your flies sometimes....
