Markio - thanks for the offer, but I am sorted. My son uses the adjustable comb Miroku - which crept downwards the last time he used it. It now has a fibre tap washer to keep it in place. My XT has a stock from a 525, which fits perfectly after Mr Sander paid a visit. The one I use mainly is a Trap model Caesar Guerini, which fits straight out of the box.

Adjustable stocks are useful for when your weight changes. The gun fit changes - chubbier cheeks. When I had adjustables, my weight fluctuated by 8 stones - through illness. I went from 24 stone of alleged muscle to a 16 stone weakling. Graham, who runs Gundeals has the same weight fluctuation - although his fluctuation has been 12 stone.

3 notches in top barrel and 4 in the bottom.

I believe the answer is yes. I have the same set-up. Check with your FLO. I am in Greater Manchester.

I bought my wife a new toilet seat for her birthday. It was cheapish, but went down like a lead brick. I haven't lived it down at work for 4 years.

I have one O/U with an adjustable comb and two without. I have had several others with adjustment - I have even done my own moveable comb. I do like the idea of an adjustable and it is easier to change than using a sander or putting material back. Once done, you can easily get the correct set-up and it makes the gun far easier to sell. Only snag I have found is that they sometimes creep downward. You think the fit is the same, but it isn't - tinkering then sets in. If you get one - set it up - and then put rubber/ tap washers in the gap between stock and comb. This should maintain the dimensions. The side to side never seems to alter - only the up and down movement.

Having visited Lowes Lane recently, I can endorse what has been said. Excellent - nothing less.

Small site, but hopefully getting bigger and better. Nice people.

Andy W has had his gun done there from memory - Very nice job.

The Richards SBS looks very nice wood.

Something to be proud of. Well done.

Get the stock made adjustable. Very reasonable prices. I have even done one myself.

Hello and welcome to just about the busiest shooting site in the country. Loads of people on here with a wealth of knowledge, which they will gladly share.

He seems to have come into a lot of criticsm all of a sudden. If he has been as bad as alleged, why have they only just opened their mouths? Perhaps they should have kept them closed.

Depends where you are. A lad in Oldham does them cheap. I have done my own using a kit made in USA - £40. I have also seen Andy's Miroku and it is nothing short of excellent.

I totally agree about checking the weight. That would determine how much postage was paid. If it is clear no gun was in the parcel - Police. If it was the right weight for a gun - then stolen in transit.

Ignore the comments about price. Price is what someone is prepared to pay. Looks a decent gun for the money.

Bit of a vague question, considering there are 32 fitting that category.

Greater Manchester - 2weeks.

He is right, but I have done the same myself. A bit belt and braces, but I couldn't see what harm it caused.

I admire you for accepting that you needed help. Many will be in denial and think they don't need it. It would be a brave person who thought that they could not improve with some help. I have had the odd lesson over the years - you can fall into bad habits - which others see and can correct.

Did my last one in Walnut, then sprayed it black with Plasticote. Not overjoyed with the finish. Previously used Vulcanite. You can get a good finish, but it stinks, it's filthy and gets everywhere. I too have gone down the grinder route (through impatience) and ruined a new blank. I would use Vulcanite, but take it steadily.

About £100 too much - especially without chokes.
