H&H charged me £35, but that was in 2012.

I have short, fixed, cylinder choked guns. They all seem to work just fine. None of them are for sale.
-
Full of rust between the steel for the last two inches of the barrels?
-
Scully, for pity’s sake write that book!
-
I would not have a multi choke gun as a GIFT! What could possibly go wrong, eh?
-
Much nicer than the rack holding my BSA collection.

Ricky Gervais has never made me laugh even once. Even before I became aware that he’s an anti shooting A hole.

The gun could easily have been proofed 2 years before sale/final delivery. I believe Churchill did not actually make his own guns but had them made ‘in the trade’, which would account for the Birmingham proof mark.

ALL prisons should be like this.

Definitely with you on that one, John. I would never go on holiday to sit frying on a beach or by a pool. I am always appalled at the incompetence of most people involved in these processes. I am always pleased when I can get off the plane. I spent thirty years watching folk put the engines together and I wouldn’t have let most of them wash my car.

Arrived at Joburg from LHR once with two clients and wives and found NO rifles in the hold. SAA took five days to find a .30-06 and a .375.

Yes, that can happen.......sometimes.

The only thing from which I suffer is grumpiness when exposed to the public at large. As a child I was always sick when taken on a bus. I still hate them with a passion. Hanging about at bus stops and then travelling with people I don’t want to be with, and stopping every 400 yards cannot compare with personal transport. I simply do not use buses. When flying I cannot hear a word anyone says from take off to landing, just a whooshing noise. I do still fly though. Three hundred people crammed in an aluminium tube is not my idea of pleasant. And don’t anyone try to tell me they enjoy airports. I have made thirty two flights travelling with firearms, which sometimes does not help to smooth progress. Heaven!

Travelling by bus is a punishment, not a holiday! I find travelling on any form of public transport extremely stressful, even, or rather especially, planes.

The one BIG fly in that ointment is that you cannot trust the French.

Woodpigeon: pest or a quarry species?
London Best replied to Conor O'Gorman's topic in General Shooting Matters
I have always thought a good roosting flight is the best shooting of the lot. -
Doesn’t alter the fact that the gun is scrap.
-
The shooting show at the Nec, is it good value?
London Best replied to Nublue 22's topic in General Shooting Matters
The overnight parties at The Game Fair are a real experience! -
I was posting a joke. You won’t hear me shouting at dogs when picking-up.

Paper Cartridges - Free For A Collector
London Best replied to Jonty's topic in Bullets, Cartridges and Reloading
I had a modest collection, including many obsolete metallic cartridges, which I gave away when I lost interest about forty years ago. I have since started again in a casual way, but much of what I once had now seems to be irreplaceable with my casual approach. -
“Come here you black *******!” seems to work for all of them!

Pheasant poult prices for 2024?
London Best replied to Fellside's topic in Gamekeeping and Shoot Management
I would like to bet that none of this will make commercial days much cheaper, but I can dream until we know the reality.
