Might help if you said what region you're in.....no good suggesting somewhere you might get some rabbit shooting in an area where they are almost non existant.

Luvvin it OPP!

The .22's dont jam the action, too big to fit inside.

Chuck loads of sharp sand over it next Autumn, not builders sand.

I have 2 metal sheds, most things end up completly soaked due to condensation, lined them with polystyrene tiles but they just fall off as I think the metal expands and contracts so much. Kept my motorbike in one,one winter and it came out looking like it had been in a bath for months, now kept in a wooden shed....no probs.

Corned Beef with beetroot and salad cream, food of the gods.

A lot of motorbikes come with such a tool for adjusting the rear spring.

Had my second jab a couple of days ago, less reaction than the first.

If any gun will not group at 15 yards you should take it back, it is not a test of accuracy that is worthy of reporting. Mine jammed twice the first week that I owned it, following a Squirrel through the branches and I have spoken to AA about it. The gauges on the US range new guns has been updated, several forums have reports of such and potential owners should be warned not to use the onboard gauge when filling the gun. Clangerman, what calibre is yours?

Not much point checking accuracy at 15 yards, 50 yards should be the benchmark, the later S510's have a differenbt gauge to the one shown - they do not register correct pressure for around a minute after filling, try holding the gun at 45 degrees upwards and fire/cycle a mag, chances are that a pellet will fall backwards on indexing and jam the action.

I was in hospital last July for just over a week, the chair in my room had blood on it, the shower cubicle was thick with grime and in the 6 days that I was in the room was never cleaned apart from one guy came in with a mop one morning and casually flicked it around. The NHS does not need more funding, it needs somebody in charge of each ward with balls.

No laughing now - Lidl frozen Brussels, not sure where they get them (not often in store) but they elevate the humble sprout to new levels. Otherwise, Honey Roast Parsnips, food of the gods.

Never, ever, seem one, add it to my bucket list.

You'll go over my knee if you keep on!!!! Metal ages and weakens over time, besides this my main concern is the long term care of some of these pieces, sure, some careful string of owners may have tended the gun over the last century plus but surely it decerves to be treated gently and hopefully saved for future generations?

Agreed London Best, but the guns were not 100+ years old then 🙃.

I use xpress super light fibre 21g in my older guns, if she's over 100 years old do you really want to shove 32g through her?

No it is not, it all depends upon how you decide to take the law, if pigeons are eating anything in your garden (you grow peas?, well it's a crop to you - doesn't have to be a thousand acres of peas unless the law specifies such, which it doesn't) then there's a perfectly valid reason. Do you hang clothes out to dry? Do the ferals c&*p all over them or try and nest in your roof? Bang. Alongside this is the chance of being caught/prosecuted, when most policemen seem hell bent on persecting nasty motorists I doubt that some nosey neighbour ringing the call centre to report you shot a Feral pigeon in your garden would even raise an eyebrow. I shoot in MK and in some very public spaces indeed, yet the police (as from December last year) no longer treat such an event as worthy of reporting as they are far too busy on other jobs.

Here, here.

2 Squizzers sunday morning, out at 5:30 after being led into a false sense of security by the weather report of 8 degrees and a 5% chance of rain - the chill hit me slightly before the lashing 5%, why do we pay these half wits? Could not find the first feeder despite having a new map but eventually stumbled (literally) on No1 to find it like a palace, completely built up and even had a seat with arms set into the ground!! Shot both Nutty's from here but would not have cared if I didn't fire a shot, at one point I had a Green Woodpecker and 4 Nuthatches on the feeder with numerous Tree Creepers around the base of the tree, without wishing to sound over dramatic, when my time comes, if I'm met by such a sight again then I will go quite happily.

Cannot believe what the shooting world has become, scared of what some Karen might say, well I say s*d them, if you have a dandelion in your garden and pigeons are eating it then put a hole through them, you eat young dandelion leaves dont you. Too many shooters dropping their trousers to be royaly rogered by yoghurt knitting bunny huggers and it's high time we all put our big boy pants on. I have one neighbour who feeds the birds every day on one side of me and a CID officer on the other, if I so desire any pigeon landing in my garden can (and has) been on a plate within 3 minutes. Magpies avoid my garden at all cost, 5 made the mistake late last year of sitting within range.

If you want to pm me when you are available and I will spend a day with you on my perm with a .22lr then write a report, I'm just outside MK, like I said, I've done this before and I believe that new shooters should be given help, cannot guarantee that it will get you your FAC but it certainly worked last time.

Not much use to me......I dont have 4 friends.

I have done this mentoring previousley for a local chap, all you need to do is spend a few hours with a .22lr and it's owner walking aroind a bit of land. The mentor then writes a "report" to say that you have been witnessed and judged be safe and responsible with a .22lr and that you were seen to be cautious regarding backdrop and safe range, ricochet possibilities etc.

AA do what they do because they do it so well, produce superb PCP's at a reasonable price that, in the real world, will match just about any Air Rifle on the market, yet they get slated for being boring and unimaginative. The market for springers has diminished at the price point where AA would have to market any gun that they have to design and manufacture, dont foget that they refuse to buy into the "assembled from cheap foriegn parts" market. So releasing a Spring gun to a limited market at a price point that you could buy a decent multi shot PCP for and putting your reputation on the line at the same time, I would imagine is not at the top of their priority list. Why do people not keep harrasing Daystate to release a springer? It's always AA.

Did'nt end there though, he destroyed the sofa's, some of the carpets, a handfull of stair posts, a pair of bike boots (Alpinestars) and the corner of one wall. We ended up having him during the day so we could keep an eye on him, worked fine for a couple of weeks but then he started digging up my lawn, just in one place. After shouting at him several hundred times over the coming weeks he still headed for the same spot when he thought nobody was looking so one morning (being clever) I laid my ladder over the patch of grass that he so loved then sat down indoors well chuffed with myself. About 20 minutes later the other half shouts that he's digging the lawn again so I rushed outside to discover that he had dug a row of square holes in my lawn....he had to go.
