Anyone So long as they don't like chocolate hobnobs (All the more for me ) Seriously, Jack Hargreaves (I remember watching 'Out of Town' as a boy) Both my grand fathers, They both died when I was very young. And lots of 'Old boys, farmworkers, real countryside men for their wisdom.

Who makes the highest ft/lbs rating Air rifles for FAC excluding 'one offs/custom builds' I've been looking a FAC air rifles and it seems hardly worth bothering for some of them as they're as little as 19ft/lbs which doesn't seem alot over non fac, I thought I'd seen 80ft/lbs somewhere from someone. So I suppose something in the 24ft/lbs to 30ft/lbs is gonna pack a fair wallop ?

Do you think he's done that deliberately to spare us all some kinda trauma

As he says it's bench shot so weights not an issue, do you reckon Dad's gotta carry the bench on bunny bashing trips ?

thats why its called the 136 Sport and not the 136 Economy If its economy you're after, Buy a Fiat Panda 4x4

I haven't started shooting yet as Im waiting on my SGC Application, I remember as a kid playing over the fields finding these plastic things sometimes in large numbers and now know they were Cartridges and Plastic Wads. As it wouldn't occur to me to leave behind my 'empties', I did already question the wad issue being as they'd be harder to collect and was happy to find that fibre wads are available and biodegradeable. So, although slightly more expensive, Its Fibre wads for me unless circumstances forbid their use

After you've just sold it so eloquently, How can anyone resist :lol: It doesn't sound as if he's maybe not looked after it particularly well?. Things like Power steering fluid shouldn't really go unless its leaking badly, and usually leaks more in use as its under pressure. Has it left puddles under the car ? Hand brake might come off it you try and drive it back and forth, likely just to be stuck through irregular use. Brake discs shouldnt be too bad, merely surface rust through lack of use, (assuming they were in reasonable shape to start with) Again the gear linkages could be stiff due to surface rust through lack of use, or lack of lubrication if not looked after regularly. Or could be due to clutch being stuck, again surface rust. I'd be tempted to A: Charge the battery up B: Blow the tyres up C: Give the car a good wash/polish D: Top up the oil levels and power steering fluid

Whereabouts are you going ? Im in Chelmsford and would love to find places to go, people to team up with, got a Gammo SFX meself at the moment. Has it stopped raining ?? blimey its been at it last night and most of today I think.

I know this guy is an expert in his field (no pun intended ) BUT have a look, 24mins 14 into the video, (just after he shoots the one coming in over the decoys), He appears to clearly reload 2 cartridges and close the gun then lowers it vertically behind the hide net whilst holding the barrel end. Surely this is not the correct/safe thing to be doing ?

here ya go, you have a couple or three pm's

I'm waiting for the local FEO in Chelmsford to make contact regarding coming to see me as I have a SGC Application in and my FAC for a 22lr and FAC Air rifle will be going in during the next couple of days. I've no idea what specific questions I'm likely to be asked and I have no real experience of firearms generally but I have been given permission to shoot vermin mammals and pigeons on approximately 430-450acres. Im hoping that its going to be as much about showing that at 46yrs old Im a sensible individual with the required degree of common sense to be able to think carefully about what and where I'm shooting ?? And the safety implications of what Im doing. Or does anybody know different ?

Easy GG, I read his response as tongue in cheek rather than forthright. You can eat Pike, in ye olden tymes it was regarded or known as "poor mans' salmon" I believe its quite boney and its the younger smaller pike that make better eating.

I've never had the luxury of an income that exceeded my liabilities and have always lived from hand to mouth no matter how hard I've worked. I started life with nothing, and 46 years later I've still got most of it left :look:

With regard your title, Should it have spell check lol

Hi, Im new here,(to the sport and to the forum) I'm Neil in Chelmsford
