Wonderful guns. Slightly different price range though. David.

Another problem is if you let oil run down into the stock. Don't over oil and store the gun muzzle down. On a padded surface of course. David.

Have to agree with JM Browning. Though Mauser was pretty good as well. David.

My comment about cylinders is covered, try reading the bit about some PCPs using the same cylinders as some pony bottles. If stuff goes in to be filled you cannot be sure that errors cannot be made. Hence the rule in diving about measuring your nitrox yourself before you dive. The contents don't always match the label, even if errors are very rare. Advanced Open Water, Nitrox ticket, 15 years experience. David.

Thanks ever so much for your comment. I notice several posts have been amended to cover the points I raised, so possibly not quite as much rubbish as you say! Also some of the bottles used in PCPs are identical to the ones some divers use as "pony" bottles, hence my warning. David.

There are a couple of things here that are not correct. Nitrogen Narcosis is not the bends. Nitrogen Narcosis, being "narced" used to be called rapture of the deep. It is a mental effect of nitrogen under pressure when you become excessively relaxed and unaware/uncaring of risk. The bends is caused when you surface too fast for the dive and bubbles occur, often in the joints which causes crippling injuries. They can also occur in the blood and the brain with somewhat nasty effects. What this has to do with PCP airguns I am not entirely sure. However many PCP bottles are what divers use as emergency bottles for ascent when difficulties happen in your main breathing circuit. Therefore if there was confusion at the filling station you could kill a diver. Perhaps air is really the best option. David.

Got a 12 bore BPS, a wonderful piece of kit. David.

There is one thing to think about if you intend to leave an estate, money or otherwise to your children. It doesn't take long for you to end up paying 40% inheritance tax to your friendly dhancellor of the exchequer. A bit of advice to reduce that hit might be useful. David.

What sort of night vision, intensifier, thermal digital etc? Might make a difference to answer. David.

Check with the landowner as well. He will have guidance/opinions I am sure. David.

Download the new form. It is pretty self explanatory. Photocopy you current certificate and tell them you will send it in as soon as it is renewed. David.

Sorry, can't understand some people, offered a freebie and all they are is rude. If you don't like them don't enter and surely the place to offer constructive criticism is by private messaging? David.

OUs came before SxS. Real gentlemen therefore use an OU. David.

Don't think I dare, not after winning the one on SD. David.

Done. David.

Well, the BASC provide facilities and insurance and stuff. I really can't see someone being bothered to set it up just for six. We needed more numbers and we didn't get them. The unwillingness to get together and act together is a problem about the whole shooting community. If we don't learn to get behind people in lots of ways we will lose our sport because our opposition relies on our rather sad inability to organise. People put in a lot of work and other people weren't willing to pay a relatively small sum to join up, meet people and network as well as learn stuff. Pretty poor show I think. (I have prepared myself for the inevitable abuse which is pretty well bount to happen) David.

Well I am very sorry to have lost out. Sorry about all the wasted effort as well. David.

Just a little hint I have found useful. Pipe cleaners are good tor cleaning out the ports. David.

Well whatever the nay sayers say this is the last chance to get your name down before it is pulled, so come on guys please step up to the plate. David.

+1. At least our head of state isn't an elected politician with all the divisive effects that would have. David.

The point is the paparazzi are hounding their children. You might not like the Royals but at least accept that they are right to be concerned about their children. David.

I'm sorry, perhaps I am just very thick, but I don't understand. It is a course where you will learn something, some will learn a little many will learn a lot and you will meet like minded people. It isn't expensive so why haven't more people signed up? I do despair at times. David.

Best of luck John. I am off down to our shoot to change the feeders over to wheat today. For those of you who don't know him John is one of the good guys and I am sure will be very helpful at the new shoot. David.

I certainly come under the heading of MASSIVE, but how did you know!!! Joking apart I hope that there is a last minute appreciation of the work put in and the worth of the course and people sign up pdq. Thanks for all your efforts and I hope it all comes good. Will I see you with Marco this season? Hope so. David.

+1 for Holts. Their web site lists all the free valuation days up and down the country. David.
