  1. Used; a genuine Anschutz steel 10 rd magazine in full working order, £30 delivered to the UK. 1st post on the thread confirming a desire to purchase secures it. Mmms, errs and maybes not accepted!
  2. I really like that colour. I had a tan coloured 1979 registered one, now that was a bad colour!
  3. SOLD SPF WITH THANKS About 3 years old and unmarked (as far as I can tell as it's been in a cupboard away from footfall for all of that time.) Multi point locking mechanism operated from a single key lock, with a separate key for the ammo safe. 2 sets (4 keys) of original keys included. I'm upgrading so this will be available from Sun 12/1. Collection from the BN7 postcode area or I can deliver along the A26 from Crowborough south to the A27. Dimensions: 1515mm x 268mm x 271mm Specs here: http://cdsgonline.co.uk/magento/index.php/brattonsound-sl5
  4. Yes they do mate- I have one. It took me a few months to figure out but mine is fussy over cartridge length and not charges. Mine will fire the first 2/3 with 65mm carts but no more than that. 67mm it's "okay" with a stoppage now and again but 70mm and above is it's favourite diet.

  6. There's plenty of moose in Chelmsford :blink:
  7. If it's correct that the deer was semi tame (I don't know) then the kill was very wrong. Culling in a park is acceptable, killing tame deer released into the wild isn't any kind of sport.
  8. Reds are indigenous the the UK (that includes Essex). Humans have taken away their habitat and pocketed them in smaller areas. However, there are more deer in in the UK; especially England, than there have been for a couple of centuries. I used to live in Colchester 20 years ago and can tell you for a fact that seeing Red deer just north of there was not uncommon. Deer will and do migrate but find it difficult when there is insufficient cover to do so over open ground or over built up areas! That Red was taken lawfully. The fact that you see a "king" pigeon that was magnificent wouldn't stop you from shooting it I would suggest, or a rabbit, a hare, a fox or other lawful quarry. Deer cause more damage to crops than foxes do each year, yet the majority of us don't think twice about dispatching foxes and then remarking how large/magnificent the beast was and publishing photos of the kill. I would hope for more balanced and open minded views from fellow shooters.
  9. Not the hardest of piccies but your Avatar's a Red!
  10. I've just got my variation through with .223 and .243 added. Despite having over 32 yrs experience with firearms and 8 of those in the Army firing 7.62 and larger, it was decided to attach a mentoring condition for the .243 for deer (no mentoring for fox). I don't yet shoot deer and don't have anyone to mentor me says I. FEO says well that's the condition unless you do the DSC1. Well, I've got the DSC1 at the end of the month and my tickets came through today with the variations for .223 and .243 on stating that I am attending the DSC1. Nothing on there about having to pass, just attend. Result.
  11. It's also 15m from the CENTRE of the highway. This can literally put you within 10m of the road and the anti can't complain they are interrupted etc.
