Most wireless systems are pretty good nowadays. The one im loking at for my new house has a key fob that changes the code every time you press it. Also, the bell box (alarm box on the wall outside) is almost always wired in to a permanebt electricty supply so you dont have to faff about changing batteries up a ladder etc.

I suppose you could, you'd have to build up the fibreglass from the inside a bit before you sanded it down though. I've since coated mine in 2 coats of watered down PVA glue, its solid as a rock now and a bit more resistant to moisture :blink: You could I suppose, truth is i've never been that artistic, but then the beauty of this scenario is that if you ******** the paint on the stock then you could just paint over it again with no worries. I might have another go in the future perhaps with a thumbhole design and put a bit more effort into the paint job

Cheers guys, i'm pretty chuffed with it as a 1st effort. Time wise it probably took me about 12 hours or so total, as for cost, I suppose about 40 quid would easily cover it. My next project is to try and get a hold of something differant like a RWS 500 or similar and make a mould of that for the cyclone, that'd be pretty awesome methinks.

Right, well after reading a few topics on here and elsewhere about 'camo-ing' your gun up - I thought it might be something i'd like to have a bash at. Also, after falling completely in love with my Cyclone - and the lovely stock, I then thought - wouldnt it be nice to keep the original stock in the perfect condition it's in now, and have a camo one? So I set to work making myself a new stock, modelled on the original one. Basically, I made several sections out of fibreglass first: Then I pieced these together, bound them with a little more fibreglass: Obviously at this point, it looks something like it should. But is completely hollow. I had a can of expanding builders foam in the workshop and decided to fill it with that stuff (after inserting small strategic peices of plywood to enable me to add sling studs and a butt pad later on). At the end of the day, it's fairly resiliant, lightweight, water resistant and best of all it finds all the little tiny gaps and fills them all. When this was done and the fibreglass mould of the action was in place, it looked like this: After that it was pretty much plain sailing, I had an old pair of DPM trousers that i had cut into flat peices of fabric. Then using carpet tape (double sided - sticks like feces to a bloody blanket) I slowly covered it in the camo pattern. The end result looks something like this: and voila! i've got a tough, water repelling and above all very lightweight stock thats camo'd up and i've still got the original one in pristine condition aswell :blink: By my reckoning, the weight of the gun with the new stock and scope / bipod is about the same as the gun on it's own in the original stock - winner! Edited to add that it's not completely finished as I still have a trigger guard to make - but you get the general idea

As above really, I had a logun as my 1st lamp and it was very poor indeed. I bought a deben mini pro second hand for 50 notes and a 6 - 24 x 50 IR scope from JSR for 90 delivered. So 140 quid spent and i'm out lamping 3 times a week

I havent got a shed yet.... (sigh) I see your point martin, but there are (very few) legal and perfectly ok immigrants. My best mates wife is from czech. They are the perfect couple, just had a baby not so long ago. And to be honest, she's far more credible / respectable than most british women her age. As for criminals - regardless of their country of origin: get rid, dont waste time and money making them suffer, just dispose of them and move on. Why give them a moment more of your time than necessary? if I were the executioner, i'd just look them in the eye, tell them they are less important than an animal in a slaughter house and there's a couple of dozen more to do before I go home in my expensive sports car to my huge home and beautiful wife all paid for with the money that would have been spent keeping them in prison for 20 years of their worthless lives - cheers (BANG!) next!

How come you have a picture of my mum in her younger years? got something you need to tell me?

Welcome to the forum mate A 3-9x40 is pretty much standard kit for general airgun use. I've had plenty of scopes in the past and currently have a JSR 6-24x44 on my cyclone which is currently out-performing a lot of the much more expensive glass i've had in the past, currently about 65 notes delivered. A JSR 3-9x40 IR is about 50 notes delivered. You also get a sunshade and a set of **** flip-ups to throw away

A very good morning to you all! Kettles just boiled if you want a brew

Speaking from experiance mate, my advice is quite simply: get all the education you can. You are fortunate in that you have plenty of people to encourage and support you whilst you further and better yourself, so i'd grab the opportunity whilst it exhists and get your degree (as long as you're reasonably certain you'll get a decent job at the end of it). You can't put a price on a good education - but then again, there's no substitute for experiance.

Nice one chrispti, good result there I used to have a Hawke Pro Stalk and it was a crackin scope

Nice one mate, cracking gun the 410 - they sell well for good reason martin - i reckon you'll struggle to find a pcp that will fire pool balls chief

"Ay UP! thas puddled tha nos!" - my grandad. "If ah were thee, ad wrap 50 quid ran a brick, throw chuffer in't lake and sev thasen ed ache" - my dad when he saw me (age 16) at work after a heavy night out. "Jimmy, if ***** could fly - you'd be a squadron leader" - one of my old head chefs. "Oi! pig!" - our lass (the apple of my eye) :unsure:

nice one dusty, chuffed for you mate

whichever pellet is the most accurate abd groups best with your gun

Hasnt axe got one of these?

I've seen these used in a chimineer outside during summer. They are made of compressed sawdust as already stated and look like burgers. Never heard of them being used to heat the whole house though.

Isnt gravity just the best thing ever?

I pretty much sit on the fence as far as the police are concerned to be honest. I dont dislike them, although I've had a disagreement or two with them over very minor things in the past. I dont call on them for anything other than a crime number nowadays though to be honest. The last time I had to call the police was to do with an attempted theft at my workplace, I gave the local plod a dvd of cctv footage of a truck loading up with equipment, me and my gaffer challenging them and seeing them off - and still photos of the guys faces as well as the reg number of the truck. 2 weeks later got a call - sorry sir, not enough evidence to prosecute! I dont neccessarily blame the plods themselves, I blame those higher up in the food chain. I can well believe that there are some genuine nice officers around, if however I came home to find a 2 of them parked on my land and being as ignorant and curt as those described by baldrick, then there is no doubt in my mind that they'd be the ones wanting to strike up a conversation with me - not the other way around

The liver and kidneys fry up nicely I've been meaning to start collecting some livers together to make a rabbit liver pate, but never get around to doing it cant comment about the brains thing though.

Another vote for the nighteater, perfect scope for all round day and night airgun shooting IMO. With the IR it really comes into it's own at dusk and night time

:blink: love it im betting on a couple of he/she's for shock value etc (being as thats must be how it survives)
