Brilliant car remember the rally ones out in Africa. David.

As an addition to my earlier comments, the head of the CIA defended the agencies operation by saying they were under orders. Funny isn't it how the Americans were part of the four powers that stated that following illegal orders was not a defence and lots of members of the SS were hanged in Nuremberg. In fact the case law now states that you follow illegal orders "at your extreme peril" which means you are actually subject to the highest penalty. Which if you are an American citizen presumably that means the death penalty. David.

Interestingly I once heard an interview by the man, now dead, who was Britain's most successful interrogator in the second world war who stated quite clearly that torture was inefficient and the information gained was completely unreliable! If the information is unreliable what was the point of sinking to the standards of the worst sort of people in the world. David.

Steel pretty well always comes in plastic as it protects the barrels. Bit of a problem really. David.

I know people who shoot in a way that even if they shot until Xmas couldn't make 100! Actually it is people who are rude to beaters and pickers up that annoy me most. I once heard someone suggest that the qualification for going shooting on a driven day should be two years experience as a beater. David.

Well I did. What about the rest of you guys? Seriously the Olympic shooters need our support at the very least. David.

Black Poplar is the poplar to watch out for. It is quite a rare tree around here, but it was used as a structural timber as it burned so poorly. A lot of wood that people complain about is just because they don't split it early and season it for long enough. Every so often Aldi has moisture meters in, it is really interesting to see how a split log dries out in shelter. David.

Just get a chamber brush from a decent shop. Bit of oil and using this should clear up the ejection problems. No need to try something fierce until you have tried the non-damaging solution. David.

I wouldn't think helping them breed is very good form either. They are a non native species. David.

I know what you mean about the eject. The tang safety is really good as well. I guess the rain doesn't drive in as much either as there isn't a side port either. But then again, I know a pitifully small amount. David.

That is very true. Once asked on the Browning stand why they don't sell it in this country and was told that HQ said no. That was probably the polite version of "You are the 500th person I've told today, there is no demand for it" It is still a very nice brilliantly designed bit of kit though. David.

Get some kind person to give you a BPS for your birthday! Worked for me and I hadn't even asked. David.

When the 525s first came out there was the option of fixxed choke but they weren't steel proofed if I can remember rightly. There is a date code in the two letters of the date code. z=1 y=2 x=3 w=4 v=5 T=6 R=7 P=8 N=9 M=0 Hope this helps. David.

Right so the Vale of Clwyd is a city!!!! Well St. Asaph (population about 27 is a city officially) I saw you take a left and right first drive of the day! David.

I was lucky enough to be there and had a great time. I am still the guy with all the kit shoots like **** but it was very enjoyable. David.

As far as I know the stocks on Mirokus have always been different to Brownings in shape. Just gives another chance to get a reliable shotgun that fits. David.

Browning do do LH stocks. They tend to only be in the most basic engraving, but engraving is unlikely to make it shoot any better. David.

Let's have it next week and hope they vote yes. I am bored with it all. Costs a fortune and the current polical set up is grossly unfair. David.

Glad to hear you guys enjoyed yourselves. It was a pleasure to stumble round falling on my face for such a cheerful and sportsmanlike team of guns. The rest of the beating team are much better at it than I am, and hardly fall over at all. David.

Looking forward to seeing you guys on Monday and Tuesday. Plenty of Snipe about and the woodcock are arriving already. David.

If it is the one I think it is the stock is horrible when you actually see it. David.

Seems to happen sometimes, sometimes the cure is to go through hotmail.co.uk rather than hotmail.com don't know why sometimes one works better than the other. David.

There is a solution to getting the used cases by your feet. It is called a Browning Pump!!! David.

Always thought they were an update on the old Rover V8 engined "aunty" Rover coupe. David.

Absolutely wonderful team of beaters!!!! More fun and madder than a box of frogs. David.
