I have tried pistols with .22 blanks and 8mm blanks and they dont have the same effect as a 12 ga. They deliver a differnet sound to a shotgun, and they can be a bit expensive on the ammo.

I have just bought a S1 from Holts Auctioneers and it is to be delivered to a local (ish) RFD. My FAC was posted recorded delivery to Holts for them to enter the firearm on it, I paid them £35 to ship the firearm along with my FAC to a local RFD and I paid the local RFD £25 to recieve the firearm and to hand it over to me.

Gary Marshall, at Fine Cane Rods in Derby is my recommendation. I can't seem to find his website, however, he has done some first rate repairs for me. Not cheap, but he is a perfectionist.

I fish Ladybower in the Peak Distict, as a member of a local club, and I am definately ready to go fishing !

I tried for an individual licence. They wanted a site visit to inspect the steps that had already been taken to preclude the doves from the grain / feed sheds. They were expecting all the openings to all the buildings to have already been fitted with nets to exclude the birds, but to allow in a flow of fresh air. This was a must with no exceptions. I withdrew my application !

I am contemplating buying a Winchester Wild Cat .22RF Semi Auto rifle, and although I have probably read all the reviews, I am wondering if any PW members have one of these rifles and if they can give their personal opinion. Thank in advance.

Nurses are always an emotive issue. When I worked in engineering and we wanted a pay rise above what our employer was offering we were told we could have it, but it would have to be funded by redundancies ! Thats the real world for you !

A true giant

I use A-TEC Carbon Wave sound moderators on my .22 fac air rifle and my three .22rf rifles and with a variety of ammunition in the .22rf's. They are very effective, however, I dont think they are much better than the trusty Parker Hale moderators that I " upgraded " from.

Totally agree, and I have done so on now what must be 100's of occasions !

AYA, you get a lot of gun for your money, I have an AYA Number 1, an AYA Number 2 and an AYA model 25. As a Sheffielder I still want an Arthur Turner or Maleham.

Hi , Pics please, Is it swivel. Cheers, Tony pm my mobile

Totally pleased for you. His shot to kill average is excellant for a first outing on live quarry.

My Mum made screwdrivers like that when she worked at Marples of Sheffield, porobly, some 65 years ago. It is she tells me they are know as a Cabinet Makers Screwdrivers. I do have some gunsmiths turnscewrs that came from John Clarke formerly of Arthur Turner ( Sheffield ) Ltd, and I will post pictures of these when I can find the ******* !

The Keepers and Loaders who I know on the grouse moors in Upper Teesdale use Paramo Pajero or Paramo Halcon coats and Paramo trousers ( not sure of the model. ) These garments are a bit pricey but these guys only use the best.

The BASC website shows the following info, " Leisure and sports facilities, including target shooting ranges and clay grounds are required to close up to and including 2 December. "

Does anyone remember Suggs Sports shops in Sheffield. Roland Wood was the RFD and a true gent, he lived in Rivelin across the dam wall in a house rented from the Duke of Norfolk. Tim Sugg had a gun on the Ronksley and Birchinlee grouse syndicate in the Upper Derwent Valley. They sold " everting from a cricket bat to a box of cartridges ". I bought these cartridges in the early 80's for £12.50, when Eley Grand Prix were still £2.80 a box !

Hi, I am after a Crow Caller, not electronic. Are the Acme / Primos / E bay specials / etc any good. All help appreciated. Cheers, Tony

Fiocchi Pigeon 32, No 6 shot. Reasonably priced and hard hitting.

Looks like the Irish plan. Phase one gives no mention of a subs 5 km restriction ( this is currently 2 km in Ireland ), so how do we arrive at 5 km before it is increased to 20 km as mentioned in phase 2 ? And surely a UK Government would quote in miles rather than kilometres.

I have been a few times for cartridges and a shotgun repair. They are an excellent gun shop and well worth supporting with your business.

Will do ASAP
