  1. So my 80 series is in fact an economy offroader!
  2. Yes! The 4.5 petrol even worse, I've seen as low as 13mpg on mine! This is why so many were LPG converted.
  3. If you can find an 80 series landcruiser that doesn't have terrible rust then that would be my choice. No longer as cheap as they were unfortunately. Alternatively a prado (sold here as the Landcruiser) with the d4d engine. The 80 series is built to a different standard than a land rover and like the defender has a solid front axle and can be had with three differential locks, very capable offroad.
  4. It's not a cross over stock. It will be in the next Southams auction. Its an amazing time to buy Birmingham boxlocks especially as they have never been cheaper relatively (I think!).
  5. I've recently bought a new boxlock, Churchill Utility XXV 1934 patent assisted opener. It has a long stock and good wall thickness. It's 2.5" and I'll keep my cartridges to 1oz. So my cased Webley 700 (26" with Churchill Rib) is going into auction. I bought it probably 13/14 years ago from an advert on here and it's served me well. Sad to see it go but I wouldn't use it over the Churchill. I enjoy carrying and shooting these short barreled guns, they make instinctive shooting easier and I find pushing my left hand further down the barrels keeps them from moving too fast.
  6. That's great news! We should meet up and give it a run! 100%
  7. The takedown function has indeed been pinned.
  8. Yes.. the precursor to the Ithaca Model 37
  9. Seen! I was going to call and ask whether the takedown joint was pinned as part of conversion to Sect 2. Unfortunately more of these lovely guns are being spoiled (in my view) in doing this.
  10. As above. Once the gun is moved from your SGC go FAC then you can do the de-restriction work yourself. The need for the tube to be glued so it doesn't constitute a detachable magazine, no longer applies. It's going the other way that requires Proof House confirmation, but again, no need for an RFD to be involved.
  11. Fantastic. I have a very early Auto 5 with a straight stock. I also had one with a 32" ribbed barrel which I let go. It shot extremely well on clays. The ribbed barrels do seem to be quite rare over here.
  12. Thank you. Details of the event or a heads up if there's a rifle there?
  13. Sadly I am overseas that day. Thanks
  14. Hi, looking for a Tomahawk, any caliber, ideally with a walnut stock. Thanks
