  1. Hi Eccles,

    I'm moving to Bangor in September and so am looking to find some shooting there.

     

    Do you think you could possibly help on this, was the farm you are referring to needing any vermin control?

     

    If not do you know of any other farms in the aria you could put me in contact with?

     

    I grew up on a farm, so not totally devoid of common sense! (And am BASC insured)

     

    Many Thanks,

    James

  2. Haveing lived in wiltshire, Dorset and Hampshire with a deerstalker I know that shooting is ****** hard to get. But as soon as they know you can deal with there deer problem... You can do what you like (as long as you keep on top of the deer and give them some niceley butchered venison)

     

    We used to send a lot of ours off to be smoked, and a smoked haunch and some gusions occasionally work a treat!

  3. No I did not think a path was eaither, and by shooting from one you are not obstructing anyone. It is essentially there choice if they find something they dislike!

     

    I was always under the impression there was no minimum distance from a footpath (indeed correct me if I am wrong but you can shoot from a footpath). But as with public highways the police have far more 'leverage to get you'... As is there genral want with shooters :/

  4. Thank you all, I'll let you know the results in a fortnight.

    But I cannot find anywhere that sells seals for this gun... (Other than mainspring seal)

    Could I use a simalar seal from a diffrent gun?

    If so any suggestions?

  5. Thank you chaps. Just what I needed!

    I'll get back to you how I get on :)

    Also hyflier, what do you mean by be careful of the mainspring especially if replacing?

     

    Many Thanks,

    James

  6. Hi there chaps, so am looking at helping a friend do up an air rifle. I have not seen it in person yet. And we know it won't be the best gun In the world... It has sentimental value and is more of a for fun, because we can.

     

    So it is a Gamo .177 of some kind. I have got a scope for it, and stock refinishing is no problem.

    But it seems a tad low on power apparently (could this be perished seals, do they just require some silicone grease? (Or where can I get some suitable new seals)

    Also apparently it sounded rather loud? Just put a dab of grease in with the spring, or something more complex?

     

    Many Thanks for any help you can give.

  7. What I would like to know is, why do they have the right to use the name: ROYAL society for the protection of birds?

     

    Is this because the Queen is a patron?

     

    Because the amount of **** they have stirred up!

    I wish Philip could do more as he liked. In his words, directly after the ban: "they are a load of bloody bunny huggers"
