Evening, I’m looking to move on this Birmingham made 700 due to doing less game shooting and more wildfowling. It has 2 3/4” (70mm) chambers, 28” barrels, length of pull 15” to front trigger and 14 1/4” to rear trigger, blueing has faded so would describe as average condition, bores are good and the ejectors work fine, £300 o.n.o I am in Billingborough, south Lincolnshire, thanks for looking.

Yeah because forums thrive on bull ****

Done, the one and only good reason I can see for one of the referees to be ‘of a certain standing in the community’ is if this situation were to occur, Police, “Mr. ******** your application has been delayed, you’d better have a good reason for this?” Me, “My referee works for the civil service.” Police, “Our sincere apologies, have a nice day.”

I remember when my son first used his mossberg hushpower, he loaded a single number 9 shot cartridge, a few moments later a pigeon flew over around 25-30 yards, he started raising the gun, I started to say to myself, “good luck with that one s….” *POP* down falls a stone dead pigeon . I was impressed because it was his first ever shot with the gun and I’ve since witnessed him drop birds with it at ranges I’d be happy at with a 12 bore, such a capable calibre in the right hands.

Lovely looking dog, hope it works out well 👍

If these are indeed sex toys, then fair play to someone with a very vivid imagination

Unfortunately not me as I’m just a commoner! 🙂

Good ol’ storage heaters, one of the least efficient forms of heating known to man! Tumble dryers are associated with fires just like washing machines are associated with floods, I had several customers over the years who stopped using their washing machines in the night when waking up to soaked carpets & flooring. I remember one older gentleman who had his display near the front door, he said he would glance at it when leaving the house to make sure he hadn’t left anything on, he said that on more than one occasion he’d left the cooker on.

It is true they could monitor your usage and know when you’re using the most electricity because they’re reading the meter every half an hour so….ask for it to be read daily/weekly/monthly and just like that the issue is null & void. The puzzling one for me is how folk come to the conclusion that a smart meter charges more? I remember before the big price hikes smart meter tariffs were cheaper than standard tariffs to entice you to have one, or it could be like most cases when I looked into it that the customer had been under-estimated, rather than submit a reading they’d let it go on then when a smart meter was fitted the final reading from the old meter is sent thus bringing all those unpaid units to the fore, these would be then added to the monthly direct debits to be paid back cue the moaning because bills had gone up Smart meters aren’t for everybody but they certainly opened a lot of customer’s eyes to where their money was going, “my hot tub is only £2 a day but I’m paying a fortune, where is the rest of my money going?!” “Try £5 a day for the hot tub” “no the guy told me it was £2” “you mean the guy who got a nice commission? Trust me, it’s £5” Here’s another good one I had with a customer, “geez that thing is on red?!” “Someone is using the shower, £1.24 per hour for that” “it’s ok it’s my wife, she’s only in it for 10 minutes a day like the rest of us” “how many are in the household sir?” “6” “that’s nearly £40 a month then when you add the vat for the shower alone” “oh….” I know some folk will say, “well they should be more mindful of where their money goes, you don’t need a smart meter for that,” this is true, but then you find out from these smart meter sceptics they’re still on Economy 7, ‘for the cheap rate’ yet when I point out they need to use at least 40% of their consumption at night to make it pay I’d get the classic, “it’s ok young man, I put the washing machine on overnight twice a week” yep that’ll do it 😆

Afternoon, I’m after a small air cylinder with gauge, I live between Bourne & Sleaford so around this area would be ideal, please PM me if you have something suitable, thanks.

Thanks Stu I must admit it did seem a bit of a niche gun, appears to be better in .22 or .177 high power

Morning, I’m considering getting another FAC airgun later in the year, while looking on YouTube it came up with ‘AAR on air’s video of the sub12 & fac .25, I know around 30 fpe isn’t the norm for .25 but I wondered if anyone has one and how they get on with it? I’m just interested whether or not someone decided to up the power at the expense of a few shots etc.

Well done, I do like to read about people’s exploits against corvids 👍

Evening, I am after a LR90 in as good condition as can be for an old air rifle, if you have something you’re considering moving on please PM me

It does seem to be an odd way to do business

Some talk on the airgun forum that he hasn’t packed up but having issues

@Gordon Rjust dropped the mic 🎤 👍

Homeless? No, wallet a bit lighter to help him/her/they/them reflect on their actions? Yes please 👍

I’m trying to understand your train of thought, if someone had took the time to drive out to where I shoot, disrupt the flight or vandalise my car surely a nice fine would help discourage them ? Heavily fined, in my opinion a decent amount of their income (if they have any), but if you’re happy for them to keep paying their bills turning up every week and causing disruption to your shooting then crack on 👍

It would be highly irritating, knowing we couldn’t touch them, I’d personally want them heavily fined, wouldn’t you?

@Smudger687, if someone had chucked something over your car in a marsh car park or disrupted a flight on the marsh what course of action would you take?

Done

Would also consider the non-regged model and walnut stock 👍

I filled it out a few days ago 👍
