Look up Airtech in Shropshire. You can get steel and lighter titanium air tubes cut to your preferred length. He will also be able to fit the regulator

Write to the paper and put them straight. It's pure politics from the Police and bure bull**** from Gun Control Network.

I can understand anyone not wanting to pay commission to a PPI agent, but when they come into their own is when a bank tries to wriggle out of a refund. I had this from a bank with whom I had a credit card--they said I wasn't entitled. I set the dogs on them to take it to the Ombudsman, which is more complicated. I got £5K.

I remember buying an El Chimbo double hammer .410 in 1972. It was £22 brand new! I also remember selling it for fifteen quid when I was stuck for the gas bill and we had our first child.

Lead can go through certain farm building roves easily. I imagine steel or other harder alloys would do even more damage, plus the danger of ricochets.

I'm mystified why you want to zero in an Ultra at 40 yards. Between 25 yards and 30 yards is more normal. By my calculations you'd have to hold under for much of your trajectory. Also, you talk about buying a bipod to hold the rifle steady...How are you holding it steady to zero? Bowkett, XTX and Airtech will improve any Ultra, but before you spend anymore money I think you need to have a rethink on your zero range. Do you know about Chairgun, the free ballistic download from Hawke Optics? Worth a look.

This is very like a robbery at Longridge in Lancashire about a year back. In that one the certificate holder was still at work when they steamed in at teatime. Children were present as their mother was assaulted and keys were demanded. They got away with shotguns and rifles. As far as I know, they were never caught. ********.

Self-important ****. Let him do it--we'll all be watching his every move and waiting until he has to cull vermin and sick deer with guns.

How about the alumni who have gone into the City--and possibly shoot themselves? Shake them down!

Raw, unrotted manure can have a toxic effect on some plants. But it's still May, so time to replant.

They're an alien species. Kate Fowler is full of ****.

I don't know about a spate, but there has been one case of aggravated burglary to steal guns in the Longridge, Ribble Valley area. Very nasty; wife and young children at home, husband absent, wife violently assaulted and threatened. We should never advertise we have guns in the house.

Birds without Wings by Louis la Bernieres--Author of Captain Corelli's Mandolin--but set in Turkey at the time of the Greek/Turkey population exchange in the 1920s. Ulverton-by Adam Thorpe--a series of stories which illustrate the history of a village in the south of England from the time of the English Civil War to the recent past.
