  5. No 11 caps by the look of it nice looking gun been looked after lovely browning on those barrels there was a tool called a tap-o-cap that i bought direct from forster reloading in the states about 10 years ago you made no 11 caps out of beer cans if you pm your details and I.ll send you some empty ones and tell you how to do them to try they do work rather well in a shtf situation which it was designed for
  6. I did look at the video I think its sounds like there from Canada I think over here the only semi auto we can own in the uk is in 22 long rim fire if I remember rightly never owned a semi myself had revolvers before they were banned never fancied one to be honest always had bolt actions but a lot of people plink away with ruger 10/22 etc
  7. On The authentic cartridge the bullet ( gp 90/21 ) was a steel tipped bullet with a slight hollow heeled base and was then paper patched to about 321 dia due to the generous throat diameter and was roughfully around 220 grains with its patch if I remember rightly hope that helps
  8. I'm working up some cast loads now for 222 and 223 using nobel 80 powder of all things small charge weights and a bulky powder giving good case charging capabilities initial results were promising Just waiting for the weather to play game at the moment to finish test them
  9. The one I've got I swear by it never had a problem it eats everything I feed it and spits out the empties every time its never jammed on me cheap well yes i dont dispute that rubbish no I've put close to 4000 through mine in the 3 years I had it but maybe I.ve been lucky and got a good one god only knows lol
  10. I should be having the 1500 varmint model today from what I.ve seen and read on the net and YouTube anything from 40 to 70 grains is possible 670 quid rifle and pictinny scope rail only so its in your price range

  12. How old is the saw Sounds like it could be that the fuel pipe is perished its sucking air through the pipe into the carb sounds like the problem pull the pipe out of the tank with a pliers its an all in one self sealing pipe unit Thread the new one through the tank pull through untill it reaseals its self reattach to the carb push on a new tank fuel filter that might solve your problem

  14. I was cried down and called a tight **** etc etc about 4 or 5 years ago when i posted a topic about swaging 224 dia bullets out of used 22 r/f cases and the possibility of shortages of reloading components happening in the future it seems we are there then
  15. It seems there's a lot of confusion over it some say its a metric thread and others say its 5/8 unc and others 5/8 unf threads so I don't know tbh lol
  16. Well ive pulled the trigger so to speak and ordered my howa 223 varmint rifle yesterday should have it now tomorrow can anyone tell me what the thread pitch on the muzzle is because I can't seem to find a definite answer I.ve read 5/8 × 24 and I've also read it isn't so a bit confused tbh
  17. Yes i agree I did try to get a temporary certificate but due to the lockdown no office staff to process it so yes i was to blame to some degree but as they say **** happens anyway its all sorted out now thank god
  18. Yeah most of South East and West Wales have been in local lockdown now for the past 2 or 3 weeks Anyway I think I've got what I wanted i.m waiting for a call Monday morning to confirm
  19. Thanks for the offer edd I have just got off the phone to keeans now and according to them there is no entry in their register for my guns or from gwent police They don't usually have anything from gwent mainly South Wales police which makes sense I had better get in touch with headquarters in cwmbran on Monday morning and see what the hell is going on here
