Thanks Old Boggy, It's T Daintith Warrington on my gun. Sam.

Thanks Gunman. Geoffrey did an article on the Liverpool gun makers in his column in the Shooting Times and mentioned Daintith as being one of them. The CLA Game Fair was on a few weeks later and Geoffrey had a Q & A stall inviting people to visit him. As the fair was local to me I went along to tell him about the Daintith from Warrington which is right next door to Liverpool. He thanked me for the information which he didn't know about and said he would look into it. About a month or so later, he thanked me in his column for the information that I supplied. He had done some more digging and found that Daintith was a Warrington gun maker (not just an iron monger) but also had two sons that were gun makers trading under the same name. The side by side hammer gun that I have was a bit tatty in the barrels and I found at the time that the cost of having them sleeved was more than the gun was worth, so I left it at that. That was many years ago so what might the gun be worth now ? Sam.

Thanks Gunman, would this be Geoffrey Boothroyd that used to have a column in Shooting Times and Country Magazine.

Cheers London Best.

Silver pigeon69, thanks for the reminder of when I was last online in the forum. I had a very big accident in 2014, smashed myself to kingdom come but thank the Lord, I am still here. I have not shot for quite a long time and have got to the point of having to part with my guns. While wondering how best to describe the Daintith gun, I did a google search and the first thing that popped up was this post on your forum. I did find out a bit more about Daintith guns, so if anyone is still interested, I will share it providing someone can tell me where in the forum index this post will go to. Thanks for your time. Sam.

The 4.10 will do the job at 25 yards and at 30 yards with 3" carts. Any furthur and the 20g is your best bet. There is a nice 20g o/u on the market but the price is more killer than the gun for shooting crows. Sam.

Hi guys, just doing a search myself and came across your old post. It is thought that Mr Daintith was a distant relative on my Ex wifes side of the family. As A child, in the 40/50s I can remember his shop on Orford Lane, I lived in Sharp Street which was nearly opposite his shop. Like was said of the Iron Monger, Mr Daintith had a shop selling Boy Scout stuff along with shooting and fishing gear. I think he bought in part finnished guns from Birmingham and put his own mark on them. I have a side by side hammer gun by him. Regards Sam.

Conecting an aerial is much easier than an electrical re wire, if you did that, you could fit an areial in your sleep. Sam.

As was said, try with out the booster first. If you have a bad signal or any dissruption in the signal, the booster could amplify it and make it much worse. Not knowing which transmitter you receive from dose not help but if the aerial you have bought has black plastic plugs in the ends of the main beam, then you have wide band aerial which will do the job fine. Check by looking at your neighbours and install it in the same way. Some aerials are mounted horizontal (elements flat to the ground) others vertical (elements pointing to the sky) make sure yours is the same as your neighbours. Have you gone digital yet in your area and do you have a digital TV or box yet? Sam.

You meet the nicest people on a Honda. (old Honda add) It has to be the CBR for all round rideability and ease of maintanence. You might wonder why my first post on a shooting forum is about bikes, well I've been a Honda owner for 48 years and a shooter for just 34, dose that make me a saddo? Sam.
