  1. If it's the female thread you need, I'm pretty sure you could get a 3/8" back plate from a heating suppliers. It's designed to take studding/munsen rings but could do the job u require.

    Which axe?

    Had one very similar to that myself. After killing 3 of them I got a refund. They just kept blowing seals.
  3. There are lots of different makes of 2 pack adhesives. depends if you have a gun to what one you buy.
  4. We get **** all. All our office staff get £300 and engineers get nothing
  5. Sounds to me like the person you saved has some sheep worming to do.
  6. The bottle unscrews, u will need the correct adapter to fill it
  7. I had trouble with my old neighbours, plod got involved. My gun stayed firmly put it my cabinet no issues at all. Do you think you could take him if it come to it? Just out of interest
  8. Snob I'm not, I grew up on an estate not far from the one I described earlier. I have worked hard since leaving school so I don't live there now.
  9. Looks to me like it depends where you live defines how you experience Halloween. I was at the inlaws tonight, they live in a nice area. A group of 7 or 8 local kids knocked on the door, they was all polite and had clearly put effort into there costumes.There was even a Luke sky walker on his Segway thing. when the mother inlaw showed them a big old bowel of sweets they was all greatfull and none of them took the **** with the sweats. A few of the dad's where at the end of the drive. It's good to see the kids having fun and getting a free bag of sweets. In this scenario I would happily let my kids when they are old enough go out trick or treating. However, on the way home I drove through a pretty ruff estate. There was big groups of teenagers out more than likely just causing trouble and terrorising people. Now obviously I would never let my kids do this and would not like these yobs knocking on my door. When I made it home there was no eggs on the windows and the boat was still on the drive. The best bit is I'm sitting hear munching through the the big bag of sweets the mrs got incase they came knocking. The answer is live in a nice area and embrace the community spirit. Or just lighten the **** up.
  10. Get yourself a spod rod and feed away
  11. I agree. Once I layed on my belly and got stuck in I made it out.
  12. Not far from stoke, the other side of the estuary. Been out on stoke quite a few times and gotta say this mud was worse.
  13. Went out yesterday to a new spot. The mud was pretty deep on the journey out there and to be honest I was dreading the journey back all day. Got the decoys out and not much was interested. There were a lot of birds about but they were sticking far out over the main river. When the sun finally started to set which seemed to take for ever things livened up. Charlie who was on the other side of the island had a bunch of teal come over and dropped 2 birds. Not long after another bunch of duck came over and again Charlie dropped a bird. This time after his lab had retrieved it he got out of his hide and walked over to me. I could see he had a big grin on his face as he produced a hen pintail. He has been fowling for 20 odd years and this was his first. Back in the hide and although pleased for my mate I was keen to get a bird for myself. Sure enough a bunch of 3 ducks came by and I dropped my first bird of the day. Drake was spot on, didn't move just watched it come down (he is my first gun dog and also his first season on the marsh). I sent him back and he was quickly on his way back with a drake widgeon. With the thought of the journey back looming I planned to give it 20 mins and head off. Next thing I know my mate let off 2 shots. as I turned to have a look I was amazed to see the birds had not flared up but was heading straight at me. They just kept coming and I took my shot, missed with the first but killed the bird stone dead in the air with the second. Again drake had marked it and I sent him back. It took a while for him to find it but he was soon on his way back. This time it was my turn to cross one of the list as drake passed me my first pintail. I Gave Charlie a shout and decided to call it a day. As we crossed the biggest creek of the journey I felt the mud starting to get a bit deep. Next thing I'm up to my waist in it and struggling like ****. After trying to free myself for 30 minutes I was exhausted and my legs were burning. All the time Charlie and giles were watching on trying to give me advice. Now we all knew I had at least 5 hrs befor there was any chance of water getting back up the creek. Knowing this I think Charlie was teaching me a hard lesson on wildfowling. In the end I had to use my backpack to lay forward onto and free my legs whilst digging in my stick and pulling. Eventually I dragged myself to firm ground. I was covered in mud and ****ed. The boys offered to carry my pack but after that ordeal I was not gonna let in beat me. I would consider it a very successfull trip not just for the birds but for the lessons I learnt. Thanks for reading
  14. Thanks for the advice, it's funton west. Predicted a 5.2 tide so should leave a fair bit exposed. Have you shot there befor? We do all have dogs so should be ok on that front. I'm gonna have a spec up befor we go to suss out what's still above water on a bigger tide to be safe.
  15. Bit of advice please. Me and 2 mates have booked permits to shoot a marsh at the end of the month. There are only 4 permits allowed on this marsh so we should have it to ourselfs. We will be decoying and the tides in theory look good for it. My predicament is... do we put all our decoys together and shoot together or split up and do our own thing. I'm fairly new to wildfowling and only have 6 teal and 6 widgeon decoys. Obvously if we shot together then we would have a lot more decoys, but do people find more decoys generally work better?
  16. Spot on. No point just changing the prv if the vessel is faulty as it will just blow again. Once it blows the prv can be a pain to reseat.
  17. A mate has a Chihuahua called Butch. Horrible little snappy thing.
  18. I recently purchased a pair of vass 700 waders. I'm happy with them so far, can't say how long they will last but they seem well made. Think I paid £70 odd for them from angling direct. I had pro logik neoprene's that only lasted a season and were horrible to walk long distance in. I sweated like I pig in them and found the boots uncomfortable.

    Ooh, my guts

    I just can't resist mince pies. Sat there last nite and eat 6 of the *******
  20. Never shot there before but I can see if from my bedroom window.
  21. I can confirm I will not be shooting another tufty. That was by far the worst duck I have eaten. Muddy fish springs to mind.
  22. I shot a tufty this morning, my first one. It's in the fridge. I'll let you know if I'll be shooting any more tomorrow after dinner.
