  1. I think the series is called "American Guns" but the shop is Gunsmoke
  2. https://www.libertytreecollectors.com/productcart/pc/viewPrd.asp?idproduct=701
  3. I'm glad he tells you not to try this at home, folks, I was just on the verge of heading to my shed and welding 3 M16s together before shooting a few thousand pounds worth of ammunition at some propane rigged caravans with some dubious friends screaming "yee hah!" every time an explosion is electronically triggered
  4. It looks like a bayonet, aside from that, don't know
  5. Another Sussex joiner - welcome! Which part are you from?
  6. Hi, are you from the good Sussex or West Sussex ?
  7. To line a dish with foil, wet it first Use the hot water when draining pasta to warm the bowls
  8. Yes, but in a shotgun not steel proofed, the choice is somewhat limited
  9. I could shoot 1,000 lead cartridges into the field and hit nothing anyway Won't be shooting any ducks, then, unless I remortgage and buy some bismuth shot
  10. A pair of ducks took off from a neighbours pond this morning and flew over my land, where I was sat with a loaded shotgun at the time. They weren't in range, I wasn't sure of the species but would I have been allowed to shoot them with lead shot or is that only over wetlands? Very windy today, pigeons, when I saw them, were going at the speed of sound
  11. Thanks, guys. Seeing as they're not mine I won't offer them up yet but I'll let my mate know
  12. A friend of mine bought a second hand reloading setup and it came with 1000 small pistol primers (as well as 1000 small rifle primers - he has a .243 so they're for me!). I've read that using small pistol primers in a rifle is a bad idea but mainly because they could cause slam fire - something that is impossible in a bolt action rifle (unless the pin was sticking out and I really slammed it forward, I suppose). Basically, seeing as handguns are *illegal* (for all intensive purposes), I'm not sure what to do with these primers if I can't use them for reloading rifle ammunition. Fortunately they're all properly boxed up so I can't get them mixed up (and the anvils are different). Apart from hitting them with a hammer to work towards a Darwin award, do they still have their uses? Can they even be posted to the US where they seem to have a shortage?
  13. I've got 125 shotgun cartridges, 500 .22LR, 150 .223 plus the bolt, magazines and moderators from my rifles
  14. Refreshing to see a story that isn't about immigrants giving you cancer
  15. Thanks, chaps, I've bought some cartridges today so have plenty to play with
  16. I presume these have cross bred with escaped pets or are they natural variations?
  17. No harm done, mine doesn't have the original barrels, don't know how old they are (reckon the rest of it is 100 years old or so)
  18. I understood it was .729", which is stamped on my barrels. Anyway. At least I now know which barrel has less choke - just need to learn which one to fire first!
  19. I know measuring the muzzle with calipers isn't the most accurate way of doing things, but my 12 bore barrels seem to be 1/4 and Full choke - does that sound normal for an English SbS? The forward trigger fires the right hand barrel which is the 1/4 choke one
  20. I'll get over my squeamishness soon... probably
  21. True, but it's not something I've done before and I didn't want to risk prolonging its distress. On reflection, I could have used the air rifle...
  22. Look for a Jerven bag - they're available but not terribly cheap
