Hi anyone interested in buying a boyds thumbhole stock to fit a howa 1500 light weight sporter action the stock is brand new still in the box pepper colour laminate hardwood stock a beautifull piece of wood (Reason for sale i cocked up when i ordered my fault not paying attention when ordering lol ) looking for what I paid for it around £220.00 with the postage / handling fee / vat etc a beautifull stock for someone with the action to fit i can send pics if someone is interested
  2. That brilliant I've just cured two of these now this afternoon only two small joints 1.560 kgs and 1.675 kgs so looking forwards to them should ready next Saturday going to cold smoke them hopefully as well well done sir nicely done
  3. There's a lot of cocks swilling in cider at the moment in my part of this green and pleasant land lol
  4. A lot of people are terrified about using nitrates in curing but Nitrates are your friend when making up your own curing salts It's just case of using common sense there's plenty of recipes around for curing salt a kilo of homemade curing salt goes a long long way after all
  5. I have got a cammo webley and Scott 3 shot semi auto beautifull looking gun but it is a total shower of sxxt that.ll jam on the third shot everytime guaranteed
  6. I must be lucky then i.ve had mine going on for 4 years now and its never missed a beat i reload my own never had any issues with mine It shoots everything I feed it mind you I reload 2 3/4 and 3 inch shells never tried anything shorter
  7. this was a problem when they took away the handguns everyone was confused at the time if remember rightly fine antiques were being handed in which turned out were exempt from the ban it turned out afterwards I can remember reading in the shooting press at the time durring the pistol amnesty they were destroying a fine pair of cased wogdon flintlock duelling pistols that were handed in That found they had a very shallow form of concealed rifling which accounted for their deadly accuracy on the duelling fields back in the day when duelling was a Georgian gentleman's pastime and duelling pistols were smoothbores sorry for going off topic Strange but true lol

  9. I.m under gwent police and When i renewed my firearms and shotgun certificates in Oct last they refused to proceed with issuing my new certificates ( I did ask this question on here at the time ) until they received the doctors medical forms told me they were mandatory had a hell of a job to get my GP to sign them at the time he was very reluctant to do them Forgot to add he did not charge me for signing them though but I bet that's changed now
  10. my rifles are bolt actions so it doesn't apply to me but a hell of a lot of people are confused about it that's the only reason I asked
  11. Have anyone received this letter off their firearms licencing dept about mars and lever action firearms being banned from March forgive my ignorance but does anyone know what this is about and what constitutes a mars and lever action firearm
  12. Good I wasn't too sure what the crack was on ordering direct from boyds because a lot of people said their orders were cancelled due to exceeding the 100 dollar limit I.ve done the conversion and it works out as £197.15 so even with the vat and the handling fee it's a lot better price than the £336 quid i was quoted for the same stock from well known uk store 🤔🤔🤔
  13. I would say get yourself the lee challenger press kit in 223 good value for the money starting out that's how most of us started. slow maybe but capable of producing quality loads most.of my kit is lee I swear by it never used anything else it hits what its aimed at if i do my bit
  14. i have noticed a number of people have been asking on various other sites about ordering a stock direct from boyds in the USA weather or not things have changed recently I,m not to sure about i have just placed an order with boyds and have received a confirmation.email telling me my order was successful Ordered a thumbhole stock for a howa 1500 mini action total cost with postage to the UK $270.20
  15. High precision target rifles ltd by what I was told on the phone they are the sole uk importer for the murom primers had a delivery last Monday of 1/2 a million primers apparently
  16. Steve I just called hps about primers they said they could supply what I asked for So pm me and perhaps we can sort something out between us if you want ok
  17. This lockdown ain't helping steve I bought the last 1000 cci 400 my local shop had 3 weeks ago Ive had A lot of feedback now about the murom primer the past couple of days so i might see if I can arrange something with my local rfd even after paying the hazmat on them they are way cheaper than the cci murom.£29 .00 a thousand compared to cci @ 49.00 a thousand no comparison really
  18. Yeah i,ve read there are a good primer Would they ship to my local RFD i wonder at that price I'd get 10.000 small rifle as there is a couple of the boys i shoot with that reload for 222 and 223 and we.re all complaining atm about primers so that would make me and them a happy band of brothers so to speak lol
  19. I have had a look at murom primers they are Russian I believe I was reading a thread on uk varmiter I think it was they gave them a good name plus they were even cheaper 30 quid a 1000 i haven't phoned about those yet to see if they would send them to my local RFD at that price I'd get a couple of 1000 of them as primers are going the same here as America atm
  20. I bought the last 1000 cci primers my local shop had a fortnight ago cost 49 quid and they said they didnt know if they could get anymore in the near future so at 42 quid a 1000 was wondering if they were worth a punt really
  21. I guess not then Well i just got off the phone to kranks they said they are like the ppu s/r primers apparently Well so my next question is has anyone used ppu small rifle primers if so how did you find them how did they perform good bad or ugly .
  22. Has anyone tried henry kranks small rifle primers at 42 quid a 1000 I'd like to stock up if there any good
  23. Saying that i can never remember any of us ever being ill to be honest you never heard of food allergies , food poisoning , attention deficits , ebola , bubonic plague , covid 19 etc etc make you think mankind is on the way to hell in a handbasket dont it
  24. From what I remember it was in a brown bottle like what hactos cough medicine used to come in it was pure cod liver oil cant remeber any malt in it oily vicious smelling stuff my mother would say right open wide and pinch your nose to make us swallow it urg yuk Well you know the drill god I shudder just thinking about it now to be honest used to feel a sick as a pig after swallowing it after a bath on Sunday nights But then again saying that we never did have the usual coughs and colds or whatever lurgey was doing the rounds at the time in the early seventies so there could have been some merit in it I suppose lol
