I suffered arthritis in my wrist and was told the problem was at the base of my thumb - the trapezoid bone I think it was called. I was offered the choice of an artificial joint or removal of the joint and immobilised in plaster for about eight weeks while the scar tissue heals and holds everything together. I choose against the replacement joint and have had no problems since (about 10 years) and have not really experienced any less mobility. I was told to expect a weaker grip but not noticed any difference as my grip was probably weakened with the arthritis. No problems with a normal O/U shotgun grip. Good luck, however you play it.

I agree a lot of potential landlords will be put off. It remains to be seen what conditions will justify terminating a tenancy. How much damage and abuse, or rent arrears, will a landlord have to endure. I previously rented out a house and the state some left the house in was disgusting whilst others were faultless. One thing I learnt quickly was regular inspections were a must.

You won't need a shooting wagon in 10 years if the anti's and the government get their way - there won't be any shooting. Well, not legally.

Sorry to hear of GMK's reaction but that is actually the dealer's problem. You paid the dealer for the gun so your legal contract is with him. First step is surely to refuse to accept the gun back from the dealer and ask for a replacement or refund. Good luck and I hope you get it sorted.

I replaced the hard pad on a Winchester Select with an Inflex pad and found it far more comfortable to shoot. Also bear in mind there is likely to be differences in the two guns you're looking at in addition to the butt pads. I believe the later guns will have lighter barrels but someone will be along to confirm this. Good luck whatever you choose.

Eastern Sporting were using Brian Farr who is based on Foulness Island near Southend-on-Sea. Also in the south of Essex is Jim Davies based in Orsett if he is still working - both Brian and Jim are well past normal retirement age.

Thank you for your kind words. I'm only selling it because I am suffering reoccurring shoulder problems and the pain is outweighing the pleasure shooting. I'm quite happy to travel maybe 50 miles each way to meet up if this helps any potential buyers.

Sounds like bending the trigger guard is the least of problems. First you've got to get the stock to fit the action and that needs a precise fit given the recoil forces that go through it. Good luck and hope it all goes well.

How will you get on when your cab is replaced with a battery powered which is the present thinking. Even if they go petrol hybrid in future it will be a big jump in commuting costs.

Well said, You've got more chance to see a clay early with the gun down.

According to Met police website the marketing for this was placed with Corporate Document Services Ltd. They quote a director of Smartwater who happens to hold the Queens Police Medal! The website also names the senior officers responsible for the campaign.

I ordered from PSHQ some time ago. After waiting 3 months I requested a refund which was dealt with promptly. After another 2 months the chokes arrived - sent from USA so I was expected to pay import duty plus Royal Mail handling charge. I just refused to accept them as I had already been refunded. When I placed the order I understood they would be sent from within the EU so no additional charges. Not so cheap at the end of the day

Check with your insurer before changing to steel rims from alloys or vice versa. Sounds petty but insurers will use anything to avoid a claim payout.
