Thanks. It's not necessarily the original state I need, just a stable base that will allow me to lay a new epoxy finish on top. I expect I'll need to remove as much of the existing finish as I can to achieve that, just looking for experience on what may be the best route to take.

I'm looking at one of the packages on resincoat.co.uk. Hoping it'll do a job.

Does anyone have any experience or recommended products to remove a worn finish from a garage floor? I didn't put it down, so not sure on exactly what it is, but believe it's paint rather than epoxy ( I intend to replace it with a two part epoxy finish). It's already flaking and worn off in places. General google search suggests acetone, vinegar(!) or good old fashioned hard work, which I'd prefer to avoid if I can! Anything out there that I can put on to break it down and scrape it off? I've a karcher pressure washer, but not sure it's powerful enough to lift paint off concrete.

Still available

As per title. Looking for an a-tec shotgun moderator, ideally with a beretta mobil fitting, but not a deal breaker as understand you can buy replacement chokes separately.

No worries, thanks for the interest.

A really top quality set. Unused, but some tarnishing due to age. I can't see that they currently offer this option with the turn screws, proper Turks head brush etc. William Powell's website does show an alternative with less items included for £225. I'm looking for £125, inc p+p.

PM sent. First dibs please.

Well I'm looking at it as poor wood to metal fit, which I'd say would fall to who did the stock work. Is that not a fair assumption? Serial number dates it to mid 70s. Obviously don't know the history of the gun, but suggestion is the stock has never been off it for a long time, if ever since it left the factory.

I've been asked to give an opinion on this damage found on an aya sidelock. My view, based on the contact marks on the stock from the metalwork (which I hope come through in the photos as the "silvery" areas on the head of the stock) is that the gum was originally poorly finished by the stocker. As a result, the contact between wood and metalwork has been inconsistent, with the stocking fracturing as a result of the uneven pressure passing through when in use. I suppose an alternative cause may have seen it occur when the gun was being stripped. I understand the screw on the bottom of the action was difficult to remove. As a final point, I was also asked about the impact the damage will have on the value of the gun. I appreciate there are currently some unknowns around whether it may spread or whether it can be addressed and repaired, but would it be fair to say a gun with this issue will be worth a fraction of what it should be? As ever, while quite a nice aya sidelock, I would expect the cost of restocking to be uneconomical as compared to value of gun.

Looking for some advice from the mechanically minded members. I've managed to strip/damage the sump plug thread on my Kawasaki klf300 quad. Worse, I've attempted to repair it by cutting a slightly larger new thread, which hasn't gone to plan. New plug now won't even hold in the threads... Looking for advice, and perhaps help/recommendations in the south manchester area, on how to extract myself from the mess without further catastrophic damage. Has anyone any good experiences with the Time-Sert kit, or would a more straightforward helicoil insert be suitable, as well as a heck of a lot cheaper? Any other suggestions? Very annoyed at myself!

Bump. Just realised I've still got these.
