    gloves

    Hello Kev, I use a pair of golf gloves which are a very soft thight fitting cabretta leather for clays summer and winter as i tend to get sweaty hands.I did not bother with Ebay as they tend to sell them left/or right only so i went to a good golf shop and managed to by as a pair left and right. They are called FJ FOOTJOY Wheathersof. Last pair i bought was about 3 years ago and still going strong. If i remember right i paid £16 for the pair and came in all black or dark blue colour. I suggest that you try them on in a golf shop first to see the feel of them. I found them to be very good as a second skin and did not cut the trigger finger off like some might do. Hope this helps. Ps. Not really anygood for cold or pigeon shooting. Regards Maltese Falcon
  2. Hi Moors Man, What i bought of them is the pinewood pigeon magnet about five years ago, expensive but very light to carry, only needs a small battery to opperate all day and has been reliable and never let me down once. I also bought their flocked decoys to put on the magnet, again very well made. I also have the shell decoys from pinewood and their spring wooden sticks are the best i have found on the market as the spring is just right and gives alot of movement even in the lightest breeze when out shooting. All in all as my old man used to say to me you get what you pay for and allthough i don't like to be ripped off i don't mind paying a little extra for quality. Regards Maltese Falcon
  3. Hello Blueue, This is the choke i am after as long it is a teague extended 3/8 light modified in good condition for beretta mobilechoke for my beretta al391 semi. Any chance of putting a photo of it so that i can have a look? I will gladly take it of you for £21 posted just need to know how you want paying. I have paypal. Regards Maltese Falcon
  4. I've always gave my dogs one cod liver oil capsule from pups, one a day but don't give the full strenght one ie: 1000mg as otherwise they might be getting to much vitamin A which my vet told me it could be harmful, so i get the minimum one i can get which is 400mg. I get it from wilkinsons. regards maltese falcon.
  5. Hi On my beretta al391 when i clean the trigger mech i use Tetra action blaster then i make sure i more or less wipe all the oil off all the parts. Once this is done i will use a lightly oiled cloth to oil certain parts that show a bit of wear on them you will know what in mean after you take all the dust of it which really needs to be blown out with an airline. Whatever you do DON'T try to take the trigger apart as you do not need to just to clean. regards maltese falcon.
  6. I know what you mean mate, but when ever it snowed especially winter 2010/2011 no one laughed at me then when i was using it everyday during the very cold spell to get me back and forth to worked 24 miles away from my house and not ones did i get stuck. Maltese Falcon.
  7. I've got one too. I had it for the past two years now and all i did to it so far is changed the tyres to A/T,never missed a beat and has been very reliable. I bought solely for going shooting,dog transport(keeps my other car clean) and greenlaning as i use another car for work. Never been stuck anywhere and when needed on rare occassions i used the diflock switch to get out of a slippery situation. It's not everyones cup of tea but i love mine as it made it much easier for me to carry all the shooting decoys, magnet etc to where i want to shoot. Regards Maltese Falcon.
  8. I own two beretta semi autos the AL 391 Teknys Sporter and the AL 391 urika game. The one you held must be the Teknys sporter as it weighs nearly as my O/U sporter. The teknys sporter has also a recoil reducer in the stock which makes it feel heavier than the al 391 game. So it is not you.
  9. I to voted for semi auto. As a matter of fact i own two semis the beretta al391 teknys sporter which is almost as heavy as an O/U which is perfect for clays and also the beretta ulrika al391game which is perfect for shooting pigeons from a hide. I also own an Zoli O/U which i have only used twice in the past year on driven game as semi's are not allowed. I would prefer to use a semi on driven game, but as it is a big no no in this country, i respect that when in Rome do what the Romans do. As i am of continental origion, Malta, i have grew up with my late dad always shooting beretta semi's and my dad has owned all of the 300 series from the start in the mid 60's i believe. Most countries in europe tend to prefer semi auto guns to shoot anything even game and there is no snobbery towards it. As for safety a country like cyprus , malta, greece etc i can't say that more accidents happen because more semi autos are in use. At the end of the day i have seen some really scary stuff from both autos and o/u users. I can also mention that since living in the UK for past 23 years using semi autos at various clay clubs i have never been refused to shoot. If i was refused to shoot a semi auto at a clay shoot, i will take my business somewhere else. So go ahead and buy a semi auto if you want one as long you remember that when out clay shooting you never load more than two cartridges, unless offcourse you go to the Benelli semi auto shoot around May time where full use is allowed. Regards Maltese Falcon.
  10. Must be because of safety, not! maltese falcon
  11. As it states only in Malta can this happen in the name of religion.For some reason it's only showing the last few seconds, when it finishes click on replay in top left corner for all video. Regards Maltese Falcon.
  12. Great news so happy for you and the weim. I love this breed and have a 5 year old female. regards maltese falcon.
  13. I have two semi autos beretta 391 teknys sporter for clays and beretta 391 ulrika for pigeons. I use eley cartridges but both guns cycle anything 21 grams up with no problem at all. I do keep them reasonably clean although i am not a slave to cleaning them. Regards Maltese Falcon.
  14. I have posted this on facebook. Good luck and hope you find her well as soon as possible. Regards Maltese falcon.
  15. Very sorry to hear about your sad loss. Regards Maltese Falcon.
  16. Tuffies, i have two off them one in the kennel and one inside. Had them for the past four years and are still excellent. Have a look at there website. regards maltese falcon
  17. Arden Grange for this girl, been on it for the past four years. Make sure you get registered with them so that you can get it VAT free. Still cost me £28 per 15 Kg for chicken and rice but well worth it. Regards Maltesefalcon
  18. Definately not engine noise, i am thinking it could be the prop shaft but i can't see anything obvious when i had it on a ramp. regards maltese falcon
  19. For a start Happy New Year to all. Now to the topic. My Daihatsu Terios is making a bang/popping noise and can't find were it is coming from. It only happens if i take my foot of the trottle sharply esspecialy in the lower gears. I know that the nearside cv joint is gone as it clicks when i turn in a thight circle and needs doing but someone told me that the popping noise could be the inner cv joint, but i can't feel any movement and the car drives really well in top gear at any speed with no vibration or any other problems so i am thinking that the driveshaft must be ok. Please note that i am clueless were else to look and would like to be pointed in the right dierction. Also note that this popping noise has been going for the past three months and can't say that it got worse. Please help. Regards George. maltese Falcon.
  20. Went out shooting woodpigeon yesterday afternoon and set my hide at the back of a small wood. After about half hour in the hide i was joined by these two very friendly terriers ( correct me if i am wrong ) . Whilst i was shooting these two bitches were sat next to me in the hide for the duration till i packed up. They were not in the least gun shy and seemed to be enjoying themselfs. I packed up about 6.00 pm and put all the gear in my little 4x4 when they jumped in and wanted to stay with me. I know that there is a cattle farm behind were i was shooting so decided to go there and ask if these two dogs belong to them. They couldn't thank me enough, dropped them off and off i went. My question is what type of terrier are these, if they are terriers. Regards Maltese Falcon.
