  1. Hi all, I put together some rotary tumbling kits a while back for myself and a few shooting pals and sold a couple that were spare. I kept this one back in case I needed any spares and as my own kit just keeps trundling on, this one's just sat under the bed gathering dust and I'd rather it got some use. Included for sale is brand new: 230v mains tumbler Watertight rubber tumbling drum Burnishing soap Stainless steel tumbling media + full instructions for use. I use one of these kits to tumble 100+ .357 magnum cases or 50+ x .308 cases at a time on a 1.5hr tumbling cycle to get them looking like new. Insides of cases, flash holes and primer pockets also come up sparkling! £125 posted
  2. Hi all, for sale is a set of front and rear motorcycle paddock stands. Feature heavy-duty construction, used for racing. Front stand has under-fork supports, rear stand has bobbin adapters fitted. The rear stand has had the cut/weld modification to shorten the length which allows a motorcycle to be loaded into a short van with stands fitted. Both stands are structurally and mechanically sound whilst there are marks, wear and surface rust to be expected with an item of this nature. £25 for the pair of paddock stands, collected from Kidderminster area DY12. Also for sale is a steel FRO Systems motocross stand, perfect mechanical condition but surface rust and marks to be expected: £15 collected. Thanks for looking!
  3. They are certainly the best off-the-shelf black powder reproductions I've come across and I wouldn't part with it if circumstances were different. Smith & Wesson took over Thompson/Center in 2007 and this rifle was made a good while before that. The Thompson factory went up in flames, taking the tooling and records of serial numbers with it, so unfortunately if you didn't date your rifle before that, you're left with just guessing.

  5. Hi all, This is my gun - please note it's listed as a "Long Barrel Pistol" on an FAC. It's listed as a rifle on GunWatch classifieds as there is no LBP option. Regards
  6. Hi all, For sale is a single cavity Lyman bullet mold #245496 for .243 Winchester or other suitable 6mm chamberings. Casts an 85gr gas-check Loverin style bullet, which consistently shot sub MOA for me. In nearly new condition, in original box and like hens' teeth to find (I had to import this one). I also have a whole host of other .243 reloading paraphernalia available if of interest. £55 posted (UK mainland). Thanks for looking!
  7. Apologies - for some reason GunWatch does not actually update this advert. Gun now SOLD. Thanks
  8. Gun still FOR SALE due to non contact from initial prospective buyer
  9. I've read through a lot of .410 data and I've never seen pressures/velocities using felt, fibre or cork wads matching pressures obtained using plastic wads. I personally go out on a limb and use any like-for-like (2.5" or 3" and corresponding shot load) plastic data with fibre wads, I just steer clear of hot primers like CCI 209M and stick with medium types like Fiocchi 615's. I've got clay & game's .410 cork wad data somewhere around here if you want it?
  10. Hi all, For sale is a brand new wet stainless rotary tumbling kit. I put some kits together for myself, my old man and a couple of shooting mates and I'm selling these last couple to recoup a little. Everything needed to bring brass cases back to factory new appearance is included: 230v mains tumbler Watertight rubber tumbling drum Burnishing soap Stainless steel tumbling media I use one of these to tumble 120 x .357 magnum cases or 60 x .308 cases at a time on a 1.5hr tumbling cycle to get them looking like factory new. Insides of cases, flash holes and primer pockets also come up sparkling! It is possible to tumble more brass than this at once or reduce the steel media and load her right up, but this is what I personally do. £140 posted
  11. Evening, It's time to liberate some sheckles from my stash of shooting paraphernalia, so I have some .410 Light Game Slugs for sale. These were bought from Buck Ball & Slug and incorporate a specialised slug drive-wad with a .375" hard cast ball. These are safe to be fired from full .410 chokes and are a real hoot to shoot with surprising accuracy from smooth bores. Cost £11.98 per 25 posted, now £7.50 per 25 posted. I will also combine postage on multiple lots of 25.
  12. Evening all, For sale are the following .243 WIN reloading bits. Essentially brand new, loaded less than 100 rounds total. Lee Pacesetter dies: Full length sizer/de-capper, dead length bullet seater, factory crimp die, scoop, shell holder. £26 posted (£36 new). Lee neck sizing collet die. £15 posted (£23 new). 79 x unfired PPU brass + 10 once fired. £22 posted (£40 per 100 new). 60 x Sierra 85gr softpoints. £11 posted (£28 per 100 new). 78 x Sierra 85gr BTHP. £15 (£31 per 100 new). SOLD
  13. Saddler is right on the money - I had exactly this quandary when I started using 444 in a 410. Local RFD's weren't on board with the idea, then I realised my large rifle primers worked just fine instead. One other option I heard about was that it may be possible for your licensing department to add a condition to your shotgun ticket allowing you to buy large pistol primers. As it stands, I'm not sure a standard shotgun certificate is sufficient to legally purchase them though, as the law seems to contradict itself (see the bold, underlined bit): Section 35 of the Violent Crime Reduction Act 2006 addresses this issue by introducing controls on the purchase and sale of cap-type primers designed for use in metallic ammunition for a firearm, including empty cartridge cases incorporating such primers. Section 35 makes it an offence to sell these items unless the purchaser: is a registered dealer; sells by way of trade or business either primers or empty cartridge cases incorporating primers; produces a certificate authorising him to possess a firearm of a relevant kind (ie a centre fire firearm and not a shotgun, an air weapon or a firearm chambered for rim-fire ammunition) and ammunition for such a firearm; is a duly authorised Crown servant; shows he is entitled under an enactment to possess a firearm or ammunition of a relevant kind without a certificate; shows he has authority to purchase primers on behalf of another certificate holder; or is authorised by regulations to purchase primers. This is a contingency provision and to date no regulations have been made. Section 35 also makes it an offence to buy, or attempt to buy, primers unless the purchaser meets the same criteria. The definitions used in section 35 mean that it does not apply to blank ammunition, shotgun primers or to percussion caps for muzzle-loading firearms. The maximum penalty for an offence under this section is six months imprisonment or a £5,000 fine, or both.
  14. If your .223 is a short action, it will fit. To find out, measure your bolt (entire length from rear to face) and it should be 6.9". If it's only 6", it's a mini action and it won't fit.
  15. Hi all, For sale is a Howa 1500 walnut stock, very nice condition, fits sporter profile barrel, short action (.308, .243 etc.). £110 posted (£235 new).
  16. Hi all, This is my gun. As new condition, genuine reluctant sale. Thanks for looking, Sterling.
