Tweedledee - very sorry about your loss. I have had four GSDs and taking them to the vets, when the time came, was truly awful. I knew what I had to do, but didn't want to do it. Good looking dog - commiserations. When I lost GSD number 4, I went over to Akitas - I just couldn't face another GSD. I was lucky - I had 4 GSDs who were brilliant. I could not have asked for more. All different characters. Loyal, fearless and bright.

Look cheap to me for the North, unless someone knows where they can be bought cheaper.

Brilliant performance from the best. Did not get hit by a punch, which put him down, but a forearm to the nose.

Hope Joe does it and quits - then stays quit.

I had a diesel Frontera - LWB. 40MPG - far better on road than Disco and excellent off road. Just about the cheapest vehicle I have ever run - just bought number 93 yesterday.

I hope Hamilton wins because he is better and British.

Shooters who have these tend to get them sprayed adding yet more cost to £1k. Still look vastly overpriced.

Fawlty Towers - Classic. I like Jonathan Ross, but he is limited. Russell Brand - if he is funny, I will plait sawdust. Looks like a pantomime dame. Short in the talent and brain department. Looks like a potential village idiot to me.

Superbly done.

Someone say something to upset you?

These are used mainly by DTL shhoters. About £1000. Main bits look solid enough, but the actual cheekpiece looks flimsy and cheap. Overpriced and a bit gimmicky.

I have actually seen the gun in question. A tidy bit of kit at a bargain price - from a top bloke.

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.
