I'm visiting a mate in Leicester this weekend and he's suggested we go clay pigeon shooting. Thought I'd take my shotgun with me rather than paying to hire them, but I'm coming back on the train. Anyone taken a shotgun (in a slip!) on public transport? I'd keep it on my person and can put the fore-end into my rucksack. Likely to have cartridges with me too, but I'll be carrying my licence.

My uncle Danny was in it.
My uncle's company provided the plywood for the sets... (or is your uncle Danny's surname "Craig"?)

I had some carpet and Evostik Sticks like **** left over from our extension. The tube split as I was trying to squeeze it with the sealant gun, so I ended up just squeegeeing it onto the cabinet sides with a silicone spreader. Carpet stuck well although I ran out of glue before getting to do the back but it's nice having a softer finish in there as I've heard those Baikals are quite fragile

It's weird seeing someone set to a brand new car with a hammer and chisel to match the dings on all the others ones for continuity.
Good film but it seems that JLR products roll over far too easily for my liking (and I was behind a Discovery today which looks like it was designed in a fairground mirror)

Just looked at the p94s online, looks a very nice rifle but I suspect it may be outside of my budget? Thanks Ian
I'd let it go for £450 if you change your mind

My sprocker doesn't like loud noises but my cocker, despite being a little bitch the rest of the time, loves it when I'm clay shooting. She chases the ones I miss (so most of them) and barks when I stop

Not the best way for my local town to be on the map...

I have a Sako P94S with wood stock and varmint barrel I'm looking to sell, but I'm in Sussex

Have these gone?

It could be the bottom of the trigger that’s cutting you, baikals are known for this, a few licks with a file on the bottom edge normally sorts it out.
Ah, that's possibly more likely. I'll check, thanks
-
Yes, you can on this model but that would make things worse as I'd need to put my fingers near them
-
No idea, just think that's what it must have been. These Baikal guns are normally renowned for their build quality but this one is covered in sharp edges. Probably from when someone used it to hammer in fence posts

My shooting is improving. 39/50 on the sporting at CPC Northall today and 12 on the compac. Skeet was good fun but plenty of room for improvement!
Ripped the skin on my trigger finger, possibly on the ejector (which is razor sharp). Made it painful to shoot but still whipped my friend!

Send it to live here - a couple of days with my mother-in-law and it'll take its own life

3344 - don't know who was more surprised, him or me when I hit it with my .410

Wait till you fill it with ammo! We had to use a telehandler to move it out of the office.
It's not that big. 12"x12"x18"

Very similar to the other one I bought. I have a problem...

Looks like it has already decided where it wants to be!
Ha! I managed to get it into a wheelbarrow on my own but it will have to sit on the floor once it is moved

You just didn't think it through, did you?
It looked cool. It's pretty solid but no idea where it can go at the moment
-
I bought a proper safe for my ammo but it's too heavy to lift it to put it where it's needed so it's still out in the barn (where I was painting it)

Platinum. Dead cheap at the minute.
Isn't a major market for platinum in catalytic converters, which are going to become less prevalent as internal combustion is phased out?

Hydrogen certainly has a lot of potential but it's not necessarily the environmental panacea one may think. It's quite harmful to the ozone layer as a lot of it escapes during production. If there was a filling station nearer to me I'd certainly look into getting a hydrogen car - I watched a good video interviewing JCB about their hydrogen engines and it made a lot of sense. The sheer weight of electric batteries combined with the way they lower in performance over time puts me off getting an electric car, although I wouldn't turn a Tesla down...

Yes, that's probably the best way. It's only a Baikal so not too worried about it getting damaged
