Thanks, yes you could easily! It’s certainly been priced to sell!

19 Crimes Dark red part aged in rum barrels. For £10 or less it’s hard to beat, none of this wishy washy rubbish with a fancy name!

Unfortunately not! But I can always send rfd 👍🏻

Excellent mint used condition. fixed choke half and half Steel proof 30 inch barrels 15 inch stock includes approx 400 cartridges worth £150+. Please ask for any more info £1850

So you’re saying it’s just the manufacturer covering their backside and protecting themselves against worst case scenario? To be fair it does make sense but it’s scaring people off from using steel altogether which is a shame. An old boy was telling me last year he would give up shooting when lead goes and wouldn’t risk shooting steel through his pride and joy! Not sure how much joy they will bring in the cabinet for the rest of his days

Great, this is what I needed know, thanks! I was planning two forends as they obviously come off with the barrels and don’t want to have to remove the forend each time But only through a steel proofed barrel? This gun is 1970 and isn’t steel proofed. I use gamebore bio or eley eco and neither recommend tighter than half

Yes that’s the problem but I think we’re only going to see it more and more and will eventually make the gun more saleable It’s choked 5/8 and 7/8, maximum for standard steel through that gun would be half and besides it patterns tight with lead, I don’t think it would shoot very well with steel at that choke even if it were recommended.

Looks like I might go down the Teague route! I just don’t want to ruin the way it shoots!!

Can anyone tell me if the Browning B25 barrels are interchangeable? I’ve got a C3 that’s 30in choked 5/8 and 7/8, it’s shoots really well at its current choke although originally started life at 3/4 and full. I’m thinking of buying a second set of barrels or a full gun for the barrels alone but in 28in with 1/4 and 1/2 or thereabouts so I can shoot steel as I have for the past few years. I want to keep the guns original barrels choked as they are for game days The doner gun would be a lower grade a1

Can anyone recommend a way of treating a monumental red ant infestation? We have just moved in to our new home, the garden is about .25 of an acre but is completely unusable at the minute, every footstep brings red ants to the surface, there are mounds in the grass everywhere… some visible and some not, I’ve never seen anything like it!! The house hadn’t been lived in for a couple of years and I think they have just run wild, the kids can’t go in the garden and we can’t even sit on the patio! Im thinking an agricultural spec insecticide is going to be the only way to go unless anyone has any suggestions? All help greatly appreciated as the kids are covered in bites

After using steel for a year my findings are that for a start I convinced myself there were more wounded birds, the range was greatly reduced and my ratio was terrible compared to lead. However, I now realise it was all in my head, yes there are wounded birds but no more than with lead, range over decoys shooting from a hedge or roosting in a wood are no different as far as I can now tell and my ratio has actually improved over shooting lead. I don’t claim to be the best shot and almost always shot pigeons at 2.5:1 this went to 3:1 when I first started using steel but is now pretty much a constant 2:1 The real shame is that there is still no outlet for them, people offer to take them and then don’t get back to you or make up excuses, I miss being able to run in as many as we had shot straight to the game dealer 😞

Pm sent mate thanks

I’d been using super steel in 4s which is a good shell, last time I couldn’t get them I used lyalvale precision steel, very very good shell again in 4s and I tried a few 3s which knocked down some unbelievable birds also tried the eley vip in eco wad 5s nice soft shell and the fives are surprisingly good on the decoyed birds, have really shot enough to really judge them. as far as comparison to lead I really don’t see any difference once you stop blaming any misses and winged birds on the cartridges! My average has actually been better since using steel No but thanks I’ll see what’s local I do eat them but I have a business to run and three young kids, with other hobbies I just don’t have time at the moment Great shout thanks

Well it can be but for similar performance it’s more expensive and if you want eco wads it goes silly! The difference is that generally you can get something back for steel shot where as round here I don’t know of anyone that will take lead shot at all anymore

I’ve tried in Facebook, apparently due to avian flu they are reluctant to use pigeons for food at the minute and as a result the big boys that supply them won’t take them either as they are full! I’ve given away lots on giving up the game, I really wanted to try and recoup some of the outlay for steel as it’s soooo expensive!!

So last year I started shooting with steel so that the dead birds were easier to dispose of via what seemed abundant outlets, to my horror I still don’t seem to be able to empty my freezer! Has anyone got any ideas for disposing of steel shot birds more easily? I am Leicestershire Northamptonshire and Warwickshire borders if that helps!!

A little update to say eventually i was paid back in full for the car, they have also let me keep their courtesy car for the time being as a gesture of goodwill which I think is the least they could do. As a side note, i was repaid by BCA or the British Car Auctions. I think this must mean that Sw car supermarket doesn’t actually own any of their stock and are simply selling cars on behalf of the auctioneers before they even get to auction. i can only advise anyone on here to steer well clear of them in the future!!

As I already mentioned, they are very cleaver in their sales technique, they arrange a handover day with an appointment with their handover team, after being told on the phone it 100% ready and looking like new. They have a very glitzy showroom with hundreds of expensive very clean polished cars and that is how i expected mine to be after all why wouldn’t it? You get sat at a nice desk and asked nicely to pay the balance so they can present you with your new car, obviously that’s not always what you get!!

This is a huge showroom with best part of 1000 cars over two sites, not really a back street dealer

If only I had but they are an hour drive from me, I got a lift there and was left to do the paperwork, I was taken to a desk and told my car was ready and perfect. They have a very impressive showroom with a lot of high end cars all gleaming and you fully expect that is what you will get. Cleverly they make sure the money is paid before you see it!! Very easy to caught up in it all when you’re looking forward to a new motor!!

I did this on Wednesday when I went to collect the car, I was there for five hours!! Sent the md a message last night and have emailed also but no replies
