Really nice that, lovely wood work and I like the old pictures. Being a machinist myself seeing them all working away making quality guns by hand is really nice to see, and I like the flick up rear site.

Sounds like some serious retraining is needed (unless of course you're in the military, can't see any of the behaviour described being acceptable anywhere else, and maybe not even then nowadays)
Try working at a small family run place, you will be amazed at what goes on and what people tolerate that they shouldn't have to, working at a big company with all the hr departments life is a doddle.

Some strange folk about, its not like there are gun smiths everywhere why go and annoy one by shouting the odds, if the law says you must show your certificate when buying ammo guns or picking things up then simple you take it with you, I bet most of you with sgc and fac have always got your certificate with you?
where's my keys phone and cert?
I'd say just deal with him in the shop make it clear your happy if he finds somewhere else to shop, then forget he exists.
Hope your first Xmas with the little lad went well.

don't forget the dogs bedding and kennel, I've used one of the flame throwing weed killers before to do inside the kennel dump the bed for a new one and check for mice! Think this was what gave our old gwp fleas, seemed to take ages to shift them.

should be a nice thread to watch, never seen a knife take shape. Certainly looks a nice bit of wood.

Have you got them out then? My old fella once double loaded my rapid I just did what others are saying tapped it back out with cleaning rods, then gave the barrel a good clean in case there was a deposit where the pellets were stuck, then re leaded the barrel before checking zero again

Thought this would be gone by now, are the dimensions internal or external? Thinking of scopes and if they would fit?

We've never claimed for small stuff up to a few hundred, given your excess it just pushes up your premiums in the years to come, its for piece of mind if something bigger happens

Reason I asked about insurance is they may ask about pre existing conditions, not sure if you can count swallowing things as that though, it comes up on here regular whether or not to insure, we have always insured for our dogs, not a great deal each month and should have taken the sting out of the vets bill, hope she's soon fully recovered

Hugh fearnly w, once caught one with permission, then cooked it for the big house, even after a few dats of filtering it in a fresh water stream they still said it was muddy, if memory serves.

Nice to hear she's on the mend, did you not have insurance to begin with then?

Didn't realise this was still rumbling on, having your fish taken is theft plain and simple, I can well understand someone loosing it and putting up the sign that's got him in bother, I can also understand the police doing nothing given they just say there over stretched all the time.
But what if they were pheasant or sheep, dogs or mobile phones, sweets even, then would people realise its this fellas livelyhood were talking about, imagine someone is taking the tools you need to do your job feed your family.

he's 6 it means nothing, my mates lads 7&10 still play with my daughters kitchen when they come over, and the brother in laws best mate is a builder who bakes and his Irish girlfriend is tidy.

? Yes, I have destroyed my airgun. It was nothing special and I didn't want to give it to the police so I cut it into pieces. It was old Hatsan and after licensing was introduced there was a lot of good, cheap second-hand airguns in the market. My was worth maybe 20 quid.
You said of said it was just an AA prosport and listened for the scream!!
then posted the bits to whoever dreamt up the idea with a note saying look what you made me do

Looks another nice blade Walker, again its the etchings and finish that sets it off for me.

I quite fancied going seeing our local hunt but just didn't have time, hope they all had a good day with little agro.

just had a quick look and there is decent info on both those sites if ur really keen on volunteering (or anyone else) boys pr girls with a bit of common sense and an airgun ticket are like gold dust and in very short supply.
And even if ur not local and wanted to help the lass did say they need help to analysis all these Velcro patches from the upcoming survey.
1 of the biggest things is simply reporting seeing them esp greys in an area that should be predomantely red, it helps to know as soon as u see a grey so u know its in the area and u can properly focus ur traps
I've seen me turning up to a garden only to find they seen a grey regularly weeks or months ago and not seen it since.the above msgs are copied and pasted from scotslad msg on off topic,
volunteers are wanted in Scotland especially people with an air rifle ticket from the sound of things, schemes like this are a good way to get a reputation for being trustworthy which will help you when your looking for shooting permission.

HM try contacting the Scottish Wildlife trust, duno if there is much info on there site might be worth phoneing after the new year or saving scotlands red squirrel site, there basically all linked and swt sort of organise stuff. They do have FT staff involved with saving reds
There may be a local squirrel group to u? If so I'd guess it should be linked on the above sites.
Most local groups are desperate for volanteers esp folk with airgun tickets to dispose of trapped squirrels in there gardens. In the past I would leave my old airguns with some but now u can't. The new airgun legislation is a nail in the coffin for reds, not good
In my area there is a big spring survey coming up again this spring (not sure if Scotland wide or not? in fact I think it will be nation wide) if It is they will be looking for volanteers too (basically the survey is where those maps come from)
idea is to get a feeder in every 1km sq quadrats they have located, so u have to place a feeder and keep it toped up for 1 monh and they stick some Velcro type stuff on the lid which catches the squirrls hairs so they can tell if red or grey in that area.
I think they're also looking for volanteers who aren't local (or even if ur not very fit) to analyse the fur samples in ur own house in ur own time, they will train u how to do it, think it is a micro scope job -
Ask for a single malt as well then Flynny
Ready to go.......

hadn't seen this, the feeders fisheruk has made with the metal lids are getting hammered at the moment, glass jar inside with the nuts in and there getting emptied every three days or so.
I would say if your not getting squirrels on your feeders then there finding other food easier elsewhere, make it easy for them to feed build up confidence then they will lift the lids.
