It was deserved though ... All you need to do is look at the thread (if you were unsure). If you had received a "Yes please how can I pay ?" private message the day before and the prospective/selfish purchaser couldn't be arsed to inform everyone else that he wanted to purchase your item then I guess that is up to you. If it arrived close to another request, then surely you would look at the thread. Perhaps i'm applying my logic/ideals and not your own version. This is a 'group' (I thought) like a family, would you sneak out to the kitchen and make just yourself a cup of tea without saying anything to everyone else ?

Of course it did, youi can tell by looking at the thread .... 🤣

What time did you send you PM @PeterC? I sent mine at 5pm

Yes please ....

I have a torch here with 2 heads, one 38mm and the other 50mm. It has a single battery or a twin battery extension tube (takes 1 or 2 x 18650) Comes with a Red, White and 850nm IR (screw in) pill £60 inc postage (no batteries).

Without the adustable plate that screws onto the butt of the stock, surely these are no more use than a chocolate teapot ?

They were a team of contractors working on/repairing the road surface.

Have you seen the form ? There is no need for an examination, go to Medcert or if you are a member, ask BASC.

Fortunately, once in the bottle it doesn't go bad ....

Yes, I wouldn't buy a bottle that was that expensive but if someone gave it to me i'd open it and have a taste. In my experience a lot of the old and rare whiskies aren't that good, similar to the majority of 6 to 8 year olds, they are sharp and loose flavour quickly. Rare (there isn't much of it left) and old (it's been maturing in a barrel for 45 years) are two different things. If you ever get to Glenfarclas the 10 is good, the 12 a bit better, the 15 better still, more flavour and longer tasting, the 25 is excellent (IMO) as it reaches its peak, the 30 isn't a lot better, certainly (again IMO) not worth £750 (£550 more than the 25). In Aberlour there is a pub called the Mash Tun. They have Glenfarclas whiskies going back to before the 2nd World War, pick your birth year and have a dram. The 1957 was around £1000 a nip if I recall.

Whisky is for drinking

You just haven't found the right one yet... Have you tried a Dailuaine, Blair Athol or Benrinnes ? Perhaps a heavily charred barrel offering like the GlenScotia Victoriana or the Royal Lochnagar ? Maybe a smokey and peated Longrow from Springbank or the Ledaig 18 from Tobermory.? 3 distinct groups there with smilarities but so so different. None of those taste like rusty water, they are all single Malt Whiskies. The sharp metalic flavours come from the grain spirit used in Blended Scotch and i'd agree that most of those taste nothing like a real, aged Whisky.

A good idea (IMHO) - fill in the survey here ... https://www.homeofficesurveys.homeoffice.gov.uk/s/M2F0UW/

Don't confuse Blended Scotch Whisky with a Single Malt. Blended is typically less than 20% Malt Whisky (of 3 years or more old) with the rest being Grain Spirit (as used to make Gin and Vodka etc) which was made a few days before it was bottled.

Correct. BASC were 'trailing' courses last year regarding fit and competent standards and setting out their stall that they were the only 'nationwide' organisation that could manage that task.

A weak and watery rusty water too, Whisky on the other hand is succulent, or sweet, or sharp or peaty, occasionally mouth watering but never like rusty water.

£45 sounds bery expensive

Welcome Daddy Frazzle. I'm in Lanark. There is a good shop with plenty of advice in Edinburgh run by Ed Brewsher. http://new.ersg.com/

If there is rust, then the blue has already been damaged. The blue is an impervious layer between the iron in the steel and the oxygen and water in the atmosphere. A light rubbing with a fine wire wool and then a wipe over with a propriatory 'rust remover'. This will change any rust (iron oxide) into a dark iron tannate which will need to be sealed to stop iron oxide coming back. To achieve that use a cold/gun blue treatment.

My guess is they were novices, possibly first time shooters, she hit the target with her first shot after both of them missing everything before and she dropped the gun out of her shoulder and turned round to face her mate in a state of high excitement .... boom. I hope the girl recovers from her injuries and the girl who (accidentaly) shot her recovers too.

Barrel no. breech, no anything else = yes Avoid the word "gun" on the invoice and importation paperwork.

Mine had a much deeper gloss finish than that example. You couldn't see any grain in the wood like you can in the close up of the forend and around the trigger. Have you re-fimished the stock ?

Your right. The face is the key, the threads merely bring/hold the faces together. You need a bit of 'slack' in the thread, I think most are around 4H and 4/5G in the case of UTS probably Class 3
