Except mosques - where their subjects are required to attend briefings instructions on a daily basis.

No longer needed - clearing out a home shed. I bought it new to make some night vision R&D parts prior to having them professionally CNC made for me. I've never used the alternative gearing/pully/belt parts for speed options. The inside chuck jaws are still in their wax paper. The headstock accepts 26mm bar. There are two long inside cutters - one for reverse direction. Drills and taps were mostly used for acetal too. This will need at least two strong men to collect it - I can be a third to help load it into a van. £300 collected from Leicester.

I understand renewals are a much different priority than new applications in TVP, taking several months.

Weaver Classic K series fixed parallax scopes have a very good reputation for being sturdy and reliable. For those new to shooting they generally let in more light than comparable variable magnification scopes because there are fewer lenses losing light. A by product of that is there's no faffing about to be done so it great for rapid acquire point and shoot because they are less parallax fussy within a broader field of focus. It has a duplex reticle and very good glass. There are some very slight scuff touch ups to the anodising.It comes with a right angle twin accessory rail clamped on to accommodate a torch or LRF etc, low dovetail mounts - in its original box.

Complete FAC air set up + 12G O/U bargain.
Dave-G replied to Dave-G's topic in Guns for Sale (Private Sales)
Reduced to £400 with an unknown brand 4-40 scope having a duplex reticle now fitted - but not zero'd. When comparing available options - some inexperienced rifle shooters may be unaware that fixed focus/parallax scopes have fewer lenses so let in more light than variable focus scopes. The budget scope has the objective lens ring missing (and lost) so it can have its parallax set to to the distance it'll mostly be used at, currently set at about 40 yards in daylight - if an IR lamp is used at night that distance becomes longer due to IR light shift. Fitted with low Sports Match dovetail mounts. This scope is better matched to airgun ranges - as the other scope had a 100 yard fixed parallax. I should also explain that I was too thick to use the PC software cables included with the Combro chronograph - so wrote the power string results by hand. Anyone paying a 50 % non refundable deposit ahead of an assured FAC/SGC grant or variation can take the non ticket items with them. I can retain the restricted items on my tickets until the authority to acquire them is received. If that person already has a SGC they can take the 12G too. -
EDIT: I just had a quick Google and it seems that lard has a lower smoke point than seed oils.... 🤨
-
Thanks again all, I ought to have pointed out we switched from seed cooking oils to Lard a few months ago. Dunno if that matters a jot.

Thank you all. we'll see how next Sunday goes with a lower oven temp and the sparkling clean interior. I've never checked the settings she uses but I'll be doing that from now on. The cooker was bought new when we moved in over the millennium weekend - so its 25 years old.

I have COPD and even mild smoke sets me into a coughing fit that's sometimes scary. Sunday lunch cooking is usually a bad time for me to be in the house despite the nice smell of cooking but yesterday I actually saw smoke in the atmosphere. I took the batteries out the smoke alarm years ago because they went off with any use of the oven. The wife has bad arthritis - especially in her hands that have become very badly deformed. I'm a typical bloke who went to work and left most domestics to the wife - especially those in the kitchen, and most specifically the washing up. 😮 Now I'm fully retired I help out more in there and spent a few hours cleaning baked on grease from assorted baking and roasting trays yesterday, some of it can't have ever been cleaned off anywhere near properly. The wife kept telling me to not be so fussy, they're cheap enough to buy new ones but I explained just how bad the smoke affects my breathing and kept going, OK I got some brownie point there. 🙂 So she started into the oven with Mr. Muscle today - as she does about twice a year. She even has a set up where the oven racks are put into a bag to soak in something that I don't know about. After that was done I took a look at them... they still had crusty drips of dried baked on grease all over the place and the under edges of the drip tray above the burners were similar to P20 abrasive paper! About four hours I'd got them done with wire wool, a wire brush for tight corners and weld joints - it was a bit of a workout to be fair. She'd not be able to do that herself. I sometimes hear chicken and other stuff spitting in the oven while I'm on the other side of the kitchen/diner using the PC. So - my question is, is the burnt on **** because she sets the oven too hot? I'm hesitant to put that to her unless I'm sure its correct because us guys din't ought to criticise a wife's cooking. I'm thinking turning it down will just make it take a bit longer - dare I risk teaching her to suck eggs?

UK is in such dire straights because we have chased our manufacturing base of yesteryear overseas - along with its employment and that tax income all in the name of net zero - and we can't even produce our own energy so import it on a 'just in time' basis seems we have 7 days worth of gas left.

I read in the SUN today (wifey buys it) that Tom Hanks home din't get touched but some nearby homes did. I'm just amazed at how they aren't protected with a decent firebreak - but at the same time guess the local mayor is too woke to allow trees to be felled as a safety precaution. Stone houses should be affordable to the super rich.

That might be some musk healing/appeasing effort - he might even fund it

They could fit in a few of the wokest millionaires at maybe $1k a day.

I've now decided to sell this lovely regulated lightweight slim walnut stocked .22 BEN Taylor And Son (of Theo-BEN fame) FAC FX Cyclone Carbine/Weaver classic scope combo with sound moderator on ticket, a 3L 300 bar charge bottle/whip in test till July 2029, a Combro chronograph, a nearly full tin of pellets and 5 magazines, spare seals and a regulator service/adjust tool - Plus an old Italian Breda 12G O/U. All for a fantastic bargain at only £500. The rifle has three regulated power settings up to 26ftlb, currently providing 40 regulated shots before it comes off the regulator (when the 5th full mag is emptied its had 40 shots so needs recharge. It can be set at higher ftlbs with a reduced amount of regulated shots. A photo shows three 8 mag strings at each power level. The power level strings were checked using the Combro chrono in the photo. I lost a location needing a discrete air rifle behind some houses after it became a Site of Special Scientific Interest - which banned shooting there several years ago, it's been basically sat in the cabinet ever since. Periodical checks for seepage showed it needed some seals replacing so did that. Spare seals and the regulator service/adjust tool will come with the rifle along with the original BTAS receipt. The rifle has only ever been filled with dry breathing air from a dive shop. If anyone is totally confident of getting an FAC air slot and a coterminous SGC I will hold it for them on receipt of a 50% non returnable deposit until their tickets arrive and the balance is paid. That will be declared here for anyone in this sales section to witness.
