  1. If you like it and it fits,you shoot well with it, spend the extra if you have to. Nothing worse than buying something else that's just not as good as you always hanker for, buy the one you want.
  2. The big hacksaw blades are bi metal so after the teeth the metal is quite soft,the knack is to sharpen the first few mm of blade
  3. Nice stick and very straight.
  4. Are you going to carve the finer details or paint them on?
  5. Our friends over the water spend a fortune on duck decoys and set ups. The blinds they build are superb. Wildfowling is like all things times move on and so does the equipment we use. We don't wear heavy woolen jumpers and jackets and oilskins any more. We go for modern warm and dry clothing and kit.
  6. Contact Nick Truter the UK agent for muller chokes, he's a member on here but more active on another shooting forum.
  7. Treetree where abouts are you your profile don't say. A member maybe able to help you out.
  8. Perhaps the finder of the rubber vagina found on the beach could post it to davyo's son his son must be gutted to find the dreaded sock thread in contention for thread of the year
  9. Sad to hear of another pop and rock great gone this year. Tim Healy will be sad it was his hero

    Give it to them with a breif. Put them on the backfoot.
  11. For me it's threads where Ack-Ack has made plenty of posts, they are always very funny.

    Oil price.

    I remember when I first started driving it being in the £1.50-60 mark a gallon as when it got to around the £1.80 a gallon it changed to pence per litre so we wouldn't notice our pockets getting picked.
  13. There was better than the lurve sock I'm sure I just can't remember which.
  14. Seen them on roads before, usually near the overhead wires they've collided with.
  15. So it's a waste of time trying to register on the forums first page. If you need to be invited.
  16. For people who want a soft roader that can do much more than they need or will ever do. When you see them on test by Land Rover it's surprising what there capable of.
  17. I am a BASC member and a member of an affiliated wildfowlers club. Still can't manage to input my birthday to the forums liking. Figgy

    Sounds like a memorable day.
  19. I've tried over the years and never managed to join. Keep getting a error birthday not correct or some such message. Tried every which way I know to input the date but still nothing. Don't make it easy do they
  20. A no2 pozi and a brown plug tapped in is what we used use a lot, tight fit and works on lightweight stuff.the plastic plasterboard plugs are ok too. Can't beat a good solid wall or timber to fix to though. I have a couple more curtain poles to fit and I'm hoping I catch the timber, as the holes in the back plate are quite close so only get one cavity fix in.
  21. They are a lot stronger than they look For big rads I prefer the 37mm long 6mm bolt Fischer type cavity fixing with the setting tool, holds the plasterboard tight on the back for a it more stability, if it all goes tits up plywood pattresses
  22. Winston 72 there the thorsman fixings I use. Posted earlier about them, very good fixing when you don't need the extra strength of a brolly fixing.

    Oil price.

    Trouble with modern petrol it starts breaking down soon as it's made so don't keep very well. Diesel is better to keep but would you want to at home,bloody stuff stinks.
  24. Get them to put a plywood pattress behind the plasterboard big enough to cover where you might want a curtain pole pelmet etc.
