  1. In today's Barnsley Chronicle it is reported of the passing of Karl Slater (whom I believe to be the same of former Guns International of Stairfoot), and who died peacefully in the Royal Hallamshire Hospital on 25th April aged 77 years. I grew up knowing Pop (dec), Karl and Pat and enjoyed much business and friendship with them. Funeral service and cremation is at Ardsley Crematorium, Tuesday 10th May at 2:50pm. Donations in lieu of flowers to Cancer Research A super chap, amazing gunsmith and super shot. Will be sadly missed. Condolences to Pat and family.
  2. Hi Folks, this air rifle will be for sale again when I am back in the UK NEXT WEEK (1st May 2016) I will be home for 2 weeks only. There was a heap of interest last time I was back from Aussie but I had a few no-shows. If I have to, I will post the rifle at your expense, but I would still prefer a face to face deal and handover with cash. First in gets it, it is priced to sell so no offers at this price please, you know its a bargain. Thanks Mark I have created a new listing for this gun too, there is only ONE for sale, and both listings are for the same gun. If you are interested send me a PM and I'll give you a UK landline number to call for when I get back into the UK.
  3. I have 2 husq chainsaws one 14" and one 20" for use around the farm, used most weeks over the last 7 years and both great but I don't think as good as the stihl magnums. My next saw will be Stihl. All my power tools (apart from my dewalt compound saw) are Makita and all good, particular my 18v lith ion rechargeables. I didn't know makita made petrol chainsaws but wouldn't buy one at home in Aussie as the market is dominated (and supported) by Husq and Stihl. So I think if you stick to orange you'll be fine either way and always be able to get spare parts for decades to come.
  4. Ah well, too late now, so it'll go back in its bag for safe storage until next time Thanks to everyone for the friendly chat along the way Back to Aussie for me for now. Best wishes Mark
  5. Yes Falcon I'm surprised too as it's a real cracker. I've had a good few offers at 300 but all from far away (to post)!and I really need to do a face to face with cash. With the bank holiday I can't post it before I fly and it's a pain in the rifle butt trying to send money electronically to Aussie. But if anyone is close to South Yorks and wants it today it's here waiting Cheers Mark
  6. Have a quick look in private sales here, I have my AA S400 walnut thumb hole in .22 just reduced price to 300 and it's in mint nick.
  7. SOLD to Ben, thanks great bloke too. Sorry to all those patiently waiting in line for this super rifle cheers Mark
  8. i will throw in a fleece lined gun bag if it helps. it really needs to go this week, so very close offers considered. thanks Mark
  9. Hi folks I am now back in UK and happy to take calls and emails about this. As promised to previous enquiries I have now added a couple of more pics here for you. I leave for Australia on the 22nd April so I need a face to face with cash before this date (please see original post). Many thanks Mark and another pic showing silencer etc. First come first served. Call me 07749 856 426
  10. original buyer has purchased already so this is still available. First come first served. Face to face between April 14 and 21st please. 350 no offers at this price thanks, its in excellent condition and has the very desirable thumbhole stock cheers Mark
  11. hello folks, there is a lot if interest in my Theoben and not surprising too as it is such a rarity. I have all your details, I have 6 people wanting to buy. I will of course let you know how things pan out and I'll be home on the 14th. Many thanks in the interim for your interest in this classic. cheers Mark
  12. Will do mate, I've sent you PM. Cheers Mark
  13. Ok folks, it looks like this is already 'tentatively' SOLD to Ben, but I'll confirm after the 14th April. Cheers Mark
  14. I'd try some earplugs, a 12g will sound a lot quieter........ahahhahahhahahahahah
  15. save heaps by buying direct from the manufacturer, I did, easy peasy! www.czub.cz (once you're in the webpage just click on the little GB flag for English version of page)
  16. I bought mine directly from CZ in Chech Rep, cost peanuts, so I got a few 10 shot metal mags. Its probably your best way to go.
  17. yes mate, these will be perfect, and I have swapped my optilok mounts off my .223 T3 for leupold bases and rings, which work super and look the biz too!!
  18. Hi mate I've had a tikka T3 laminate stainless in .223 1 in 8 twist for the last couple of years or so and it is brill. A very solid rifle that has never given a moments problem, and the bolt action is one of the smoothest i've come across after the Sauer 202. It is of course made in the Sako factory in Finland so quality of workmanship and finish is superb. 10 out of 10 for me. Rgds Mark
  19. One of the best. I've owned a few, and shot a few more and every one has been a good looking, solid and reliable gun.

    choice

    I'm not familiar with the 510 but the 410 is very good indeed. In terms of calibre choice, you should probably try first, but I prefer .177 for feather and .22 for fur (if that makes sense).
