Hi, is this still for sale?

Is this still for sale?

I’ve just been to shoot Audley this morning. Nice little 50 birder.

Mickley will let you take out any gun for sale in their shop, except brand new. They have loads of 2nd hand and demo guns. You just pay a tenner for cleaning. That's how I made my choice. Took 4 or 5 different guns out on lessons before arriving at my CG Summit.

I store my gun stock down in my safe. The safe is in a warm room in the house so I never film my barrels with oil. I clean with Legia, with phosphour bronze brush, then jag & cloth, then a quick pull through with the wool mop a couple of times down each barrel. Then lightly grease moving parts with Tetra grease, quick wipe down with a colth after opening the action a few times to dispell any excess grease, then into my safe. I always draw a boresnake through both barrels twice when I've finished shooting whilst the gun is still warm, before heading home from the shooting ground. This removes a good chunk of the **** before it hardens and sticks but, surprisingly, not as much as you'd expect.

I recently bought a 3 yr old Summit Impact, as my first gun. I'd had lessons using differing guns but the high-rib suits me and having tried the Summit Impact I just knew that was the gun for me. Absolutely love it. The scrollwork is less fancy on the summit. The only tit on it is me.

I just bought my first gun. Started shooting around July and am hoping to shortly join CPSA

What are these for?

I enjoy Dave Carrie's videos - particularly the ones featuring Rachel! His awkwardly long handshakes are also great viewing!

I know of Cloudside and intend to pop down to take a look after Christmas but Basford's not one I've stumbled across. Thanks, I'll look it up.

So, local guys - where's good to shoot 'round these parts? Currently I shoot at Mickley Hall and know of Doveridge and Audley Gun Club, althought there's absolutely no information available regarding how to join Audley Gun Club on the face of the earth. I recently bought my shotgun and want to get out of a Sunday morning at various places for a bit of clay blasting but am new to it all and need to learn of where to go.

I applied for my SGC with Staffs Police in July. Got my certificate in under 4 weeks.

Grant.

I'm a biker and I think it's brilliant. The bike thieves are now so brazen that they think nothing of robbing bikes in busy high streets in broad daylight, safe in the knowledge that they'll meet little resistance and the police have 'better things to be doing' than track stolen motorbikes. I'm all for it.

I love the head up position. Luckily Scott who runs Mickley Hall shoots a Summit Impact and I've been using that for the last month or so. Should have my own in the next week or so. Can't wait to finally get my hands on my own. Thanks for the cleaning tip - I'll have a gander.

A bit of a dusting in Flash this morning, between Leek & Buxton.

I'd definitely go with an auto darkening helmet for starting out. They make life so much easier if it's something you're not used to. You can get one of acceptable standard now for about 40 quid. I have a Speedglas 9100XX and it's the best mask I've used but it's a few quid more! Also, as stated above, use 6013's. Really easy rod to use. Also, give yourself the best chance by practicing on 5mm+ steel, ground back to shiny metal. If you have an angle grinder get yourself a 65mm wire cup brush to clean your welds and also prepping and dirty areas prior to welding. And have fun. I've been welding for 25 years but I'm a works manager these days but still maintain my codings and get out to do a bit when we're up against it. Engineering's a great trade but, sadly, a dying art - Fabrication anyway.

The peaks have had some - Snake Pass in particular.

I'm just about to buy a CG Summit Black Impact. I've been shooting for four months and have tried various guns through that time to find the right fit for me. I'm really pleased that this is the gun for me because when I first walked into the gun room and started to look at guns I really liked the CG's but had no intention of spending that much on a first gun. Four months later I'm not hesitating in buying one, knowing it's the right fit and will see me through many years of shooting. I've not shot a Beretta - it was the obvious go to when I was first looking but they're far too flat for my big gangly neck. I've shot Mirokus, CG's, Fabarms & Brownings. The Browning 725 kicked like a bitch against the Guerini, and even the Fabarm Axis. You get a good chunk of gun for your money with CG. I bet a good chunk of Berettas sold are totally wrong for their owners but they bought the badge, not the gun; as nice as they are.

I'm in Staffordshire. Had my FEO visit on the Monday, had my license by Thursday or Friday.

Male fashion. Blokes wearing half-mast trousers with stupid shoes and no socks, spending more time on their hair than their other halves.

Crikey! I'll say one thing - You'd probably fare better with the police if you had your gun nicked because someone broke into your 'police approved' keysafe than if someone found your key in a **** hiding place. Discression is key, I guess. I won't be changing my facebook profile pic to one of me stood beside a letter displaying my full postal address whilst grinning down the barrel of my shotgun!

I'm a biker. When I filter to the front in traffic the only people that take exception are usually young dolly birds in minis and Fiat 500's. You know the type; did **** at school, work in a beauty salon and have an iphone sewn to their hand. How they think they're going to beat me off the line when I can do 0-60 in 3 seconds and they're looking at 0-60 in about 9 seconds beggars belief. Oh, their car has white dials and a sport badge so it must be quick. Read the highway code regarding bikers filtering, you *****. Also, people who type 'f' 'o' 'o' 'k'. We know you mean ****. It sounds just like ****, so just say ****. (I bet the swear filter will render this a bit pointless but I'm referring to other social media platforms where there is no swear filter it's applicable.)

It's not hidden by any stretch, but it's not staring you in the face either. Fits my Brattonsound keys in fine.

We have a shark and it’s bloody fantastic. Would never buy a Dyson again.
