Hello, I have cracked the forend on my 682 Gold, where is best to find a second hand one or a new one ASAP. Kind Regard

Thats the start of them, there late this year. Normally have big numbers arriving around Sept 20th. Now its 25th and there starting to show in big number!!

Seen around 2000-3000 today up where i am, all heading for Loch of Strathbeg

Thats ok Silver Pigeon, never got round to it in time this year! Still great to see the thread being started again for everyones stories and pics.

A decent start for some i see, will be a 2-3 weeks yet or i'll be out myself. Great to see everyones pic's as always!

Sit the barrels on the end of a cloth in a sink basin and fill the barrels with boiling water. Leave for a few minutes and drain them out and give them a scrub with the brush. Should remove the stuborn stains. But be careful with it though

Another for the Versamax, totally reliable!

Had a great final flight yesterday. Conditions were the best they have been all season with a good 30+mph wind and ended up with 5 pinks and 4 mallard for my final flight! A fantastic way to end the season.

+1, mines came with a certificate aswell

I though that as well, one of the best looking iv shot! Also welldone to grandalf!!

Sucessful morning out the the O/U this morning. Decided to leave the semi behind today and bring out my Browning. Was a stunning morning but sadly no wind, but still left with a nice flighted single pink!

This was 50+ birds between two. Have seen the same guide have bags of over a hundered some mornings which is plain stupid in my mind.

Goose guides up in aberdeenshire shooting stupid amounds of geese each morning early on in the season have pushed the geese further down south! I know a few of them and they were shooting 50+ a morning the week the pinks started arriving. I feel this has pushed the, down as they havent had time to settle.

I would not! Putting 3" HP steel through a 20+ year old Side by Side with full choke is a complete no. I have the same gun and and would not put HP steel through it!! I would stick with looking for bismuth as it wont be as harsh on the gun and prevents opening the chokes out.
