  1. "Not for Ball" was used between 1875 - 87 hope that helps.
  2. 364 High St, Lincoln circa 1886, 156 High St circa 1890-97, High St & Corporation St circa 1901-05, 4 Saint Mary St. 1913-40.
  3. No problems Sir - ALWAYS better to ask if not sure when playing with over 4000 psi in your kitchen
  4. If you mean the gauge on top of the Tank then it will show zero because it reads the pressure between the Tank and the Gun once the valve is opened (slooooowly!)
  5. Where I walk the dogs you can swat Woodpeckers like flies - annoying little blighters constantly machine gunning trees right above you - they seem to have no fear of people - but the best sighting this weekend has been 2 Yellowhammers - not seen any since I was a child back in the middle ages.
  6. Your contract, Dr.B is with the retailer, and all of your consumer rights are in relation to them. Get it to them and tell them to sort it or you will formally reject the goods - if it's less than 30 days since you bought it you have the right to do this.
  7. Saw a Tree creeper twice in one week a short while back - small copse right on the edge of MK - also 2 Coal Tits the same week/wood.
  8. AFAIK - the spring does not come into contact with this area of the gun - the gun uses a moving cylinder inside the main cylinder if that makes any sense - if the marks were not present when the gun was new then my guess would be that either a particle of something hard has fallen into the breach area and got jammed under the sliding cylinder ( which would cause an obvious grinding sound upon cocking/loading ) or the sliding cylinder has a burr or some kind of machining error on it - going to need stripping down to determine which but do not attempt it yourself as this will totally void any warranty claim you may have.

    Bathroom fan

    Ours uses a standard waste pipe of about 110 dia - we had to use tape to seal the fan to the pipe as the fan outlet was about 105 but it works fine - ours runs about 2 metres and our builder put a slight drop in the pipework to the wall just incase of the steam condensing - but we have had no issues at all in the 2 years since it was fitted. We have 4 downlighters in the bathroom with one being over the Shower cubicle - this one has a separate touch switch that also starts the extractor fan so you don't have to have all 4 lights on when showering during the day - the extractor is also directly above the shower cubicle. Buy the biggest fan you can get (within reason!!) - noise is similar no matter how big they are and most of the noise is from the outside vent.
  10. Maybe the cylinder is laser welded steel tubing that is then machined out - if so then the welding has not been up to spec?
  11. Whole gun here for £200 - just outside MK so not far from you - its connected to a FIAS which is identical to the Browning (FIAS made the Browning ) - gun is in vgc, high rib O/U 12G.Search FIAS in the private sales and it's about the 4th one down.
  12. It would be nigh on impossible on the stand to decide if the inertia block had indeed failed to reset or if the shooter had "hung" onto the trigger thus preventing the operation - I would not like to be judge and jury if this happened during a shoot off?
  13. I use the S410 most days but can honestly say I rarely need to recharge "in the field" - shooting "branchers" is the only exception although I find myself less keen to carry out such control these days (must be getting soft) - I sometimes carry a 3ltr 300bar Alloy tank in my car - it's only 18" high and 6" dia and weighs next to nothing - but cannot remember the last time I needed it.
  14. I want to know what hairspray Pit was using.....2 stick grenades inside a Tank and it didn't even move his hair.
  15. Glad to be of assistance Tony - it's quite easy to work in a logical fault finding fashion when the Gun owner is obviously mechanically minded and usually one step ahead of me!! Might I suggest that you chrono both types and go with the best performer ft/lb wise then sit back and enjoy the fruits of your labour - BTW - you have been a pleasure to work with Sir.
  16. Get it bought someone - what a conversation piece, v nice indeed.
  17. There is no need to hit a dog with a stick - a gentle tap on the nose if the dog starts to "overtake" you when on the "heel" command with a thin stick is all that is needed - if the dog starts to overtake you again then simply whipping the stick thru the air so that he/she can hear the sound and reaffirming "heel" should do the trick.
  18. Watched it last night.....would not bother again.
  19. Turkey is for eating at Christmas when most people are too drunk to care.
  20. Post removed as not beneficial to the true purpose of this forum.

    Scopes

    You don't need to spend a fortune on a scope for a PCP as it gets an easy life, you also don't need massive magnification or lenses - I would hazard a guess that most people out there who's guns wear something like a 6-24 x 50 scope normally leave it set at 6 or 7 mag and will never realise that 50mm lens is going to give you a negligible advantage over a 40mm one. Try as many as you can in your local shop(don't forget to focus the eyepiece for your eye)and see which is clearest then make sure that mounting it for your eye relief is possible, if several are a match then I would tend to go for one that is adjustable by hand as it makes life easier.
