Thats just your Yorkshire genes, not wanting to spend on the shells..... lol

I did this for my RFD, fitted expamet into the roof, to stop entry, and built my own frame and door

Most shops dont use a bath any more, due to good old HSE lifting rules and regs. I have been in the dive industry for over 20 years, main users of water baths are abroad where it needs to be in a cooling bath as they are filling huge quantities at once from storage banks, so they can blast the air in. If you are filling straight from the compressor, it is not necessary to do this, unless you are filling a 3 litre from a 25cfm+ compressor. Best option is fill, and top off if required, Seen plenty of cylinders that have fractured whilst filling, this is down to rust, which can be caused by hot air going into an immersed steel cylinder and condensing, its fine with allly tanks, so just slowly does it, and stay within the pressure of the tanks.

Hi Keith I know where there is a nice 682 32" with teagues, very tidy sporterised trapper. Andy H

Thats not a bad offer Webber, good ammo, and freebies as well...

I would nip down to Sealand North Wales Shooting School,

I have done a number of guns over the years for customers, always reamed out, then finished with a set of stones designed for polishing brake cylinders out, never had a problem, if you only want a fraction out, get a set of cylinder honing stones, made by sykes pickavant... by using these self centering stones you dont risk an offset choke.

The wing part of the target is destroyed (or should be), its not a cost from the ground, the targets are very expensive, I had my own layout for a while and always winced when it was time to order targets. Unlike clays there are very few manufacturers of the targets, so they have a market whom have no choice of going elsewhere so to speak. A lot of grounds are charging 25p+ a clay for practice now, which is a good profit, which makes these not too bad at a pound, you arent going to pop a 100 away like you do with clays, a good practice before a shoot is 4, its usually only 2 targets.

The targets are silly expensive, they have been charged at that for at least ten years, that I remember, usually more in a comp, which is never more than 25 targets. It is so addictive..... beware..

Nearly as good as Kopi Luwak, coffee from a monkeys butt.... The most expensive coffee in the world, is made from undigested beans from monkey *****.. probably expensive as they have to pay some poor ****** to sift through it all .....

The Scottish and Welsh and Irish have a funding arrangement for their own squads, they even having training camps abroad when its cold, this crowd funding is for the English shooters whom are not in the world class programme and are self funded. The funding issue is a pot that will boil for ever, When a GB team is put forward it is still not fully funded, it is individual shooters who British shooting have selected that get the funding, as an example the ISSF world cups, that the teams compete in. The entry fee and official practice is paid by British Shooting / BICTSF, the travel and hotel is stood by the shooter with a donation/payment from BICTSF of (this was when I was involved and from memory) £300 for European areas and £500 for rest of world, so the funded shooters have a pot to draw from, where the non funded dip into their own pockets, at the moment it's a world cup in Beijing, the two shooters in the mens OT have self funded to compete. Back to the commonwealth, the CPSA is the English body, they have given each shooter £500, this doesnt go far trying to train, pay travel, accomodation, ammo and food etc, hence the funding plea so we might just be able to help these non funded shooters give themselves the best chance of lifting a medal.

In the eyes of the fire service the stickers are mandatory/essential as a car on fire with no sign and a cylinder in the boot can result in the death of a firefighter if it goes up whilst they are trying to save your car etc... It's also worth checking your home insurance if you keep the cylinder in the house, some are not happy about it and insist on it being in an unattached garage or shed.

Diving/shooting Cylinders in UK dont have burst disc valves, they are not compliant with CE, I have worked in the diving industry for over 20 years and have never had a problem, the heat will increase the pressure slightly, the cylinder is tested to approx a 1/3 above its working pressure, so dont worry. Have seen cylinders fail when overpumped, not a pretty sight and if its been in a shop it usually ends in massive injury unless a proper blast wall was in use for filling cylinders behind. The compressed gas sticker is mandatory, and it is best used, it does have advantages, a car/van etc with a compressed gas sticker on cannot be wheel clamped in case of fire, if we were working in anywhere we may get clamped, we used to leave a 3l cyl in the motor and make sure a sticker is on it, then no clamping....

Coniston Shooting Ground near Skipton have 1 for sale

Good news Webber, a great shell with a fantastic pedigree No more exepensive than any other quality shell, good ballistics and superb patterns, once people have tried them they usually stick with them..

Wll, checked it out on DVLA site, its a 2008 or that number is, it has no MOT as its expired in April and its taxed till October, its probably an MOT failure.....

Remy 870, classic gun, will last a life time, and good to shoot, probably won more Major clay shoots than most folks know. Ultra reliable and over 5 million have been sold....

Does any other type of shooting give you the pain, such as gun down disciplines? If not its gun fit, and too punchy shells, if you are adapting to the gun rather than the gun fitting it can give some serious pain problems, too much cast can be a major for shoulder and neck pain, the gun slaps you about, a parallel comb and also moving the comb across instead of casting the stock can make a big difference, as can your stance and mount. Go and see a reputable coach and get checked out, if the gun doesnt come to exactly same place with an eyes closed mount, 100% of the time, it doesnt fit..

Only midweek in Cumbria is Crabtree on a Wed aft/evening, other than that its out of the area....

If the pins appear loose, then the hammers are cocked, the top pin has no return spring on a browning, the bottom does (at least up to 425), which means its your inertia block sticking back as though the gun is on safe. If moving the saftey in all ways has done nothing then it means either some dirt (even new guns have dirt in the action) has got in the block, or the spring has failed. If you have a stock key, take the stock off and see if the block moves with some tension or is just flopping about, if there is some tension its dirt, if its floppy, take it back as its not a fix on the kitchen table job......

I would have a crack at a Bernadelli, superb build quality and not an expensive gun. I shot one at Crabtree in the Lakes and it handled superb, the gun was a pleasure to use and comes from a firm that manufacture some really quality guns, so its by no means thrown together.

Hi everyone, Was told by Webber to take a gander at PW, like the look of the forum, so thought had better join. Based in the Lakes, been shooting a long time, all types (game,rough, wildfowling and clays), shoot clays mainly now. Have been an RFD in the past and enjoy the sport JD
