Hi, yes I would be very interested in one of the printed case ones, if you could let me know how much it is please, thank you, Andy

Hi, I have just started collecting old shot gun cartridges and I am looking for a paper cased Eley four bore cartridge . i wondered If anyone had one that I could buy,not worried if it's empty or live. many thanks Andy

Hi, I would be interested in a peg,in October if possible Thank you, Andy,

Apprentice jockey, estate agent, engineer, train driver.

Trust me, you won't need one in there! When we looked at it last winter it was extremely warm all the way through the cottage,it's double glazed as well. Andy

Thank you chaps, I will give them both a call, have you got a number for Mr Custerson please? Andy

Hi, I am looking to get a London oil finish on the stock of my Beretta,I have had two quotes so far one at £140, and one at £450, just a bit confused as to the huge difference in price. Can anyone recommend a gunsmith or individual, capable of doing the above,I am quite happy to travel from Bedfordshire, Thanks Andy

I think the point is guys, someone is trying to do something positive to try and counter the Packham/avery petition, taking the Mickey isn't really helping at all,

It's gaining momentum, and the spelling has been corrected, I say well done.

Well it seems that whoever has ownership of the above petition has got his housekeeping in order now, spelling and grammar all present and correct! And what's more he has got momentum,I really think we should get behind this and show some support. Andy

Just a quick heads up guys, as you are all probably aware there is at this moment in time a petition standing at over a hundred thousand signatures asking parliament to debate banning driven grouse shooting, I personally have never been on a grouse moor and might never get the chance, but I do think it would be only a matter of time for other branches of the sport to come under the spot light if this ban was successful There is a counter petition in place,called "protect grouse moors and grouse shooting" less than ten thousand signatures at the moment but gaining momentum, sorry I don't know how to do a link on here, just think it would be a good idea for everyone to get behind it, Andy

Is it just me, or has anybody else spotted the huge mistake that Mr Packham and Dr Avery have made? Their petition is not to ban grouse shooting, it is to ban Driven grouse shooting,if it ever did get banned the moor could revert to a walked up grouse shooting moor or a grouse shooting over pointers moor,these lesser known sports would still be totally legal,and the loop holes would be endless. Andy

Hi guys, I am thinking of buying a beretta 690 sport, it's about a eight months old,I plan to use it as an all rounder, ie clay shooting and driven game. My question is can it be fitted with flush fitting chokes? I can't stand those things that stick out of the barrels! Thanks Andy

Both a legal requirement my old friend, and swarf in the eye or a missing finger won't help with the shooting ! Andy

With a fanuc control I see, excellent photograph but no duckboard to stand on and no guards at all ! Tut tut, Andy

Fen boy gets the point, I wasn't looking for advice I was simply saying these guns have dropped in price by nearly five hundred quid, that must make them a bargain surely, Andy

Bruno22rf, I know exactly what c.n.c means my friend,I was a cnc programmer for many years,and before that I served my apprenticeship on manual machines,Bridgeport etc,I totally agree with you, the best guns are hand finished,but you ain't going to be getting one for fifteen hundred quid mate! Andy

With respect,that is complete rubbish Mr tightchoke, An older secondhand Berretta or Browning, could have been subjected to all manner of ill use,dropped or damaged and thousands of cartridges put through it, The William Powell is brand new and made on state of the art cnc machinery, Andy

Define " better" Mr tightchoke? The William Powell has got " better" wood than any silver pigeon or Browning at a similar price, the metal work is at least equal to that of a Beretta or Browning of a similar price, Interested to hear how you define "better" Andy

Hi, I was looking at it from a slightly different angle,I know they are re badged Rizzini over and under shot guns, but I fancied something a little different from the hordes of silver pigeons etc, this purchase will be my last gun I won't sell it,depreciation therefore is not an issue. Andy

Just a quick heads up, I was looking at these guns which are basically a Rizzini B over and under at the game fair last year, at the time they being sold at around £2000, on William powells web site yesterday they were selling for just over fifteen hundred pounds each,must make them a bargain I am sorely tempted. Andy

REJOICE AND RULE BRITANIA !!

It's a Japanese quail, chap.

Anyone know where the word smith comes from, as in blacksmith?

I have sent you a pm Duncan.
