When I was a kid I was shooting mad but nobody in my family had a gun so we used to roam Waddesdon Estate looking for cartridges that had been left - I once found a Hull 3 crowns paper case that still smelled of powder and I treasured that case for years so that's my choice. On another plane I was always in awe of Winchester Silver when I started shooting as they were so darned expensive and one day treated myself to a box - must have been mid eighties and still got the box with 23 shells in it - too precious to ever shoot

Ah well - that's this weekend you've missed then - why post if you're not going to bother to read the responses

Machinist, Capstan operator, CNC Engineer then Caretaker - retired at 52 no mortgage no debts

Might help....turn your PC off , disconnect the mains feed and remove the battery - press the start button and hold for 20 seconds with your PC on a hard surface - this is supposed to remove static from the system - it's worked a couple of times with mine.

AJS 250 CSR for me although I started on rice burners. Now have a 996 a Gixxer6 and an 1100 Virago in my shed all gathering dust - bought the 996 on a whim but cannot safely reach the floor so I've ridden her twice in 2 years .

Never been a fan of fixed beds I must admit - we find that we need all the space we can get in our 5 berth. The 2 bench seats in the front become 2 beds simply by removing the back rest - 5 seconds work or to convert to a double takes less than a minute. We don't, however, make proper beds we simply open out a sleeping bag.

Well at least you are amused David - I also find it amusing to hear how easy the situation could have been resolved - if BASC don't get an answer when they phone someone do they simply give up? You make so many presumptions that you might consider a career in Creative writing Sir but let's simply agree to disagree before we engage in post ping pong. For my part I promise never to join your organisation but will wish you well.

I think the wait of 15 years would be something to be quiet about - however, if you consider it funny

Not often that I agree with fortune but on this occasion I do 100%. So BASC are fighting for Airgunners - not much use for our Scottish brethren? I had a similar experience over a licensing issue as fortune while I was a member of BASC and to be honest I may as well have contacted fortune's granny - not interested, or to be more accurate "we will get our Legal team to call you back" well, David, - bin waiting about 15 years now . On another note, and I don't blame BASC for this - my car was damaged several times while it had the BASC sticker proudly displayed.

Following another thread on this forum about Foxing rifles I was wondering if most people have an "old favourite" shotgun that they reach for time after time? I currently have at least 10 shotguns to choose from including a B525 and a Miroku, 101 etc yet my gun of choice is a 1914 Pollard Sidelock - of all the others this one just feels "right" - it was bought for next to nothing and I had the barrels reblacked locally and Demonwolf444 on this forum stripped and oiled the woodwork, she now looks like a new gun but the quality and pedigree are what I find most appealing.

Each to his own - but BASC will not be getting anymore money from me.

Where in Bucks are you? Can you drive? Are you insured?+How much experience do you have?

As TONY R said - I think they do a "youth" model 20g semi.

Clear as a Bell Sir - but why would you "take her from the rear" just to get a picture of Fat Sally?

Surely the MECS is the safest bet - if you take, say 15 minutes, to get to your Dad and then realise that he needs urgent medical care are you suitably trained? - your delay may cost you dearly. My father in law had the system that calls the MECS and they called us as soon as the alarm was raised - I once had a Boss pass away in my arms ( heart attack at work) and the Ambulance crew said that 5 minutes earlier and they would have had a far greater chance of saving him. Time is a critical factor.

x type jaguar - pick them up for pennies and some are 4x4 - the diesels are, apparently, not so great but the 2.5 sport petrol is v.good. I've just bought an unmarked 2001 v6 3.0 with 56k on the clock for £1400 - mine drives/looks like it has just left the showroom.

Best of luck to you Sir Takes balls to turn your world upside down and I sincerely hope you both find happiness and a better life in your new venture.

As motty said - it's not the end of the world and easily fixed.

What pellets are you using?

Not the one where you asked your sister to load a pellet into the Tap and she went and spilled all your pellets down the sink? + If you put a dab of grease on the little cut outs on the piston it might stop it sounding like 2 skeletons bonking in a biscuit tin.

No is only no for now ...banks have tightened up on lending but it's only a matter of time before the market becomes completely stagnant and the powers that be will release funds for the Banks to lend....bide your time and don't let it get you down, save every penny you can and you will get there. The bigger your deposit the better off you will be - you will get a better rate and save thousands in the long term.

yep....the middle one .

I would hate to see my one cut up as it's in amazing condition .

You have no idea if it actually happens scotslad? - where have you been? there are plenty of clips available where you can watch it being done.

If you have genuine concerns over the locks hitting your stock simply buy a bigger one - besides, you're not going to constantly bang the door against your gun are you? surely as you close the door and feel something obstructing it you don't just bang it shut?? I bought one similar to the OP's example but a 7 gun with lockable ammo section - came with bolts, floor padding and foam divider as well as 4 keys - looks v.nice with a pin stripe around the door and has passed the legal requirements - it was about £140 from memory and I am delighted with it - why pay Brattonsound prices? p.s. if the locks are difficult to operate (as often mentioned on cheaper cabinets) - simply file/stone the sides of the key
