  11. Trouble Getting Birds to land

    in General Shooting Matters

    Posted

    I have a 17 Acre bit of land, until i recently topped the grass the only thing i was getting was the odd Pigeon & Crow fly over, now i have topped the Big field the Crows are landing but still no Pigeons,

    Question is there a good Game strip crop to put in would that boost my chances and do you know any farmers in the Sussex (Midhurst Area) that would possibaly Help out

     

    Cheers Phil

    I brought .410 Bolt action (Anschutz) as a bit of fun at work but im having trouble chambering the cartridge, it sits on the ejector slide fine but when you push the bolt forward it just wont go in you have to try and line it up with your thumb to get it in.

     

    I never had this trouble with the webley before so any ideas

  21. Old Gun advice

    Goin through my dads gun cabinet last night we came across my great grandads 12 bore single barrel, which had really seen better days it was made in 1919 and is in poor condition,

    cosmetic it wouldnt take much work and my dad really wants to get it restored the barrel inside really needs some work as it is very pitted

    So my question is who would be the best people to talk to ref restoration, the gun is only sentimental but it would mean a lot if i could at least get it looking good,

    Shooting it would be amazing but if its no repairable then i dont wanna blow my face off

    thanks in advance

    I haven't been online in a while and passed this link on to chacotawas just now http://www.fourten.org.uk/steel3.pdf

    From this article it would appear there is no benefit in using a choke as it causes the hard steel pellets to bounce and act eradically when exiting the barrel.

     

    I would use at least a number 4 shot or bigger for duck, the general rule I go by for steel is to go up at least 2 shot sizes bigger than you would in lead for your intended quarry.

     

     

    So do you think it would be better to take the choke out then

     

    cheers Phil
