1911s are brilliant......have had a number of them in .455 and .45. A testimony to their design and funtionality is that they are still being made 111years later.

I have just picked up a Browning.....I'm guessing a B1. The serial number dates it to 1957. It is mechanically very good but the stock needs refinishing. The question is.....do I leave it as a roach belly or should I get it altered to a convensional shape?

According to the BASC steel shot day that I went on steel is not recommended for tighter than 1/2 choke. So a traditional fixed choke trap gun at 3/4 and full may be a problem in the future. I could get the chokes reamed o ut but would rather not if an interchangeable choke gun was available.

Wanted....a reasonably priced trap gun. If fixed choke must be steel proof. Prefer adjustable stock.

I'm not that lucky.....this is definitely .177.

Wtd. .25acp dies and a .45acp taper crimp die.

Thx.....it is a Cadet Major

I came across this in a job lot. Does anyone know what it is off? It is .177. Thx

I hear what you say but it just sounds like it will end up as an uncontrolled admission of criminals and terroists.

Unfortunately only too true.

I got told that my car wasn't tax as well. Also in the same week an 'investment' company rang me with a 'get rich quick' scheme. I told him that I would invest £10 million as soon as my cheque from the Nigerian national lottery came through.

I absolutely agree with you. We need to massively invest in manufacturing infrastructure and training....probably using retired people who still have the skills. We should stop buying anything from Europe until we can trade on the right terms. There is nothing that isn't either 'home grown' or available from non EU countries. Stuff the German and French cars, Dutch vegetables, Spanish tomatoes, EU wines and beer, then see how long before the French farmers break ranks. In the 1960's the slogan was.....Buy British......it should be again. There has been little mention of the Commonwealth.....We used to get food products from there when distribution links were far more difficult than they are now. We underestimate ourselves......tell the EU to get stuffed and get on without them. Tell them that the door is always open but dont ever try to threaten us again.

Unfortunately it will only be half, as they will be out when half sentence served.
