  1. Tell me about it. My truck was 6 tears old when I got it. The interior was in great condition. 2 years of 3 kids in it... now looks like it’s been used to transport livestock around in for a decade 😬.
  2. I looked into it... pricey 😜
  3. 😃 To be fair, I’ve been looking for one of these for ages (and have seen god knows how many in different models/configurations), but was after exactly this spec. From the photo I could just see it was tailgate, and t6 I’m sure came in 2016. Given the reasonable price I’d have already guessed it was a 16/17. To my extreme disappointment, Mrs H, who will be driving it most to be fair, wishes a different colour. Grrrrrr. Someone will pick up a great van here. From the additional photos and video walk round (see that’s a proper seller 😀), it’s clear it’s been very well looked after. good luck with the sale!
  4. I’ll send you a pm!
  5. Possibly interested... lwb, and how many seats?
  6. Amazon always have deals on whisky too, worth checking for one of the suggestions there.
  7. Mice and Cawdor have your answers.
  8. Is the recoil from the first fired cartridge not required normally? Thump the butt pad after firing the first barrel, or dunt it (carefully!) off the floor to simulate this. Second barrel should then fire the snap cap.
  9. Whilst not disagreeing with any of the above, it's still your certificate that is essentially on the line, on the opinion of your local firearms dept. I'd err on the side of caution myself.
  10. Thanks, I didn’t realise that measurement on the browning site was reference the stock, clearly is when converted to inches, thanks! Just the extra length really of a thin stock spacer.
  11. My current 525 has a plastic spacer, and the thickest Inflex pad too - a great fit LOP wise for me, but not the best looking. If the long stock version of the 525 is that bit longer allowing for no spacer and maybe even a thinner pad, it would look far better. But I can’t see that I can buy that variant without a black action. Of course, this could all be marketing bs, and really the ‘longstock’ isn’t really much longer at all.
  12. Really? I thought they were all a bit shorter?
  13. Been mulling over a new gun (why not, right?). Currently have a Browning 525 adjustable Sporter. Picking it up for the first time after using other guns including a couple of berettas was like a revelation. After faffing about the the adjustable stock, I’ve found that having it down, ie flush, as if it wasn’t actually there or used, suits me best. Doh! I do however have a spacer in to lengthen it (I’m a big gangly 6’2”). It is not, in my opinion, a thing of beauty - Mainly because of the stock. I’ve seen a 525 ‘shadow’ longstock special edition. 15” stock, higher grade than standard, fits the bill 100%. But... I just can’t get on board with a black action. Do Browning make a non-black long stocked o/u? Or can anyone suggest anything similar?
  14. No need for a form for Police Scotland. You just both email the sale details to the relevant firearms dept for where you live. Done it more times than I care to admit...
  15. I think I regret every gun I’ve sold. But, needs must... I wish I could afford to keep a cabinet of barely used guns! One day...
  16. The deep water harbour is brimming with these new shiny rigs!
  17. Sadly, I’d agree. And said sentiments would just get the hackles up of most Scots, independent minded or not. Boris and co falling over themselves to do likewise.
  18. Every single one of the countries Britain ruled has since gone bankrupt and begged to be brought back into the empire though.... oh,no, wait... One thing has always puzzled me. If Scotland is such a drain on the uk finances (and a political pain in the **** for the tories, who are widely despised here), why does England want to keep it? My best guess is the nuclear base and the diminishing relevance of further parts of the empire defect?
  19. Just bought a new pair recently, great boots - take a little breaking in as they’re proper sturdy things, not uncomfortable though. Have another pair I’ve worn every second day or so, for 15 years. Looking a little tired now but really just need resoled. First pair ordered directly half a size different from each other.
  20. I’m no particular fan of the royals or the bbc, but they did report it.
  21. As above, depends on the efficiency of the stove, what you burn (how dry), how often you use it, and how you use it - slow burning with vents shut down causes more **** to go up the chimney. Ours is a modern pevex stove, using a variety of seasoned wood and some smokeless coal, for maybe the equivalent of every evening for 4 months of the year. Sweep has said every two years is plenty.
  22. This whole thing is outstanding, I’d love to have something like that.
  23. I got the awesafe ones from Amazon also, based on almost 5,000 good reviews. Absolutely spot on, to the point I wonder what the peltor ones would do better for the extra cost? https://www.amazon.co.uk/Electronic-Shooting-Range-Earmuff-Awesafe-GF01-Noise-Reduction-Sound-Amplification-Electronic-Safety-Ear-Muffs-Ear-Protection/dp/B0797SW8VZ/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?dchild=1&keywords=ear+defenders+shooting+noise+cancelling&qid=1601539556&sprefix=ear+defenders+sho&sr=8-3
  24. This makes little sense to me (well, none really), but two households appear to be allowed to stay in self catering, and more if hotel or similar. I wouldn’t be surprised if this changed soon, probably just before we head to Nairn in a couple of weeks. https://www.assc.co.uk/new-coronavirus-restrictions-in-scotland-what-you-need-to-know/
