  1. Expected i do agree with that, but think about the day after bird killed those poor people in Cumbria. we expected more legislation then, and David Cameron More or less said "you could not stop such events with legislation2. So if we avoid Legislation or not will remain to be seen. but looking at legislation is one thing looks like is going to happen. Lets wait and see.
  2. Was A pump action not sure if it is FAC or a shotgun / restricted . Or if he held that gun on his licence or not is unclear at the moment.
  3. Terrible chain of events, So sorry to hear of this, and a child too apparently awful.
  4. Reload mostly but been shooting some Jocker LAs 28 grams at moment,n got them a few years ago from alan at park lodge when he was still down there. I will Look at a 1oz reload i think, i am enjoying shooting the side by sides.
  5. After a 30 year absence from, using side by sides. i started using my old AYA no 4 on pigeons, And i can only say its been too long a break from them. i enjoyed using the gun after all these years and can not ever remember shooting it so well back in the day.rise. I decided i favoured the OUs and semi autos, but now i am not so sure. my re visited side by side journey started about three years ago with a 32 inch elderkins magnum i acquired from an old friend, which i found i liked for some of my wildfowling. I think i will be using the old no 4 much more in the future. So if that old side by side you fell out with all those years ago is just sat gathering dust, get it out and start using it again it might be like me its a supprise how much you actually like it. .
  6. Thanks for going to the trouble of posting this, a way of getting BB size bismuth at a reasonable price, with a little work admitted but still practical in my opinion. 😀
  7. After market chokes can work and some are generally good Terror chokes Jebs carlsens kicks all have their advocates. But the key is pattern test your gun at the range you intend to shoot and with your choice of ammunition. Many a good tune played on an old fiddle as they say, and it could be your old factory tube or even your fixed choke gun works just fine for intended use and range.
  8. 410 on ducks is a feasible option, non tox in form of steel or the more expensive options is all down to your needs and how deep your pockets are. If you are decoying ducks and they are responding steel loads will do at typical ranges. If your situation needs a bit more range it could be a switch to TSS or similar is the way to go for you. In steel i would go for 6s for decoying 5s might have a little more clout but 6s have a better shot count and with 410 you have not got a lot of pellets especially in the less dense shot types. If your using TSS for ducks 9s 10s would be good all around shot sizes, if on The lightercHW13/ HW15 or bismuth 7s or 8s could be a better option. If encountering geese a simple switch to TSS 7s or 71/2 would be my choice. With TSS you get more smaller pellet count of still lethal pellets, ideal situation for smaller bores or lighter loads, exactly what the 410 requires. Its all about cost, and do you need the extra range it could be argued if your doing your job right and the ducks are playing steel should be adequate its down to you to decide if this is the case for you or not .
  9. A company presentation/ history.
  10. I can not comment on ATas having never used or handled one. But my thoughts on cheaper shotguns, today are that more CNC machines are involved in the production of these guns. and quality is going to be in theory as good as any European of Japanese gun made on the same or similar machines. final assembly fitting finishing and final Quality control are potentially areas for concern, but the OP seems pleased with the stock Finnish at least. I think if its what you want and your on a budget and want a new gun the ATA could be worth buying. I will add here, i have had a Hatsan escort for over 5 years use it often and it is yet to give a single issue. Modern production methods might just be making cheaper guns very reliable at low prices, add to this the 1/3 price labour in Turkey, ATA could well be a bargain.
  11. Done. I told it like it is. NE are not fit for purpose, Biased and Incompetent.
  12. Guess you mean Robin Marshall Ball, he is national and uncontested.
  13. Just for clarification Paul Mayfield is a member of a Yorkshire wild fowling club, and that club has only tidal wildfowling available.
  14. My last one was a 2006 which replaced a 2003 and before that a 2001 .
  15. Of course . I read the statements, looked on facebook read all the posts by chriss, and asked many i knew . I am from lincolnshire and got good feedback on Paul Mayfield. So despite the fact i would love to see a wildfowler on council, and i have great respect for chris barkers proposer. I decided to vote for paul Mayfield.
  16. Had three of them. Fairly good on body rot chassis transmission , but the weak point on these trucks is the front pulley area of the engine. Key way can wear. and the front pulley can fail throwing belts and doing damage. About 25MPG not a lot more a typical Japanese pick up truck. they are a little agricultural to drive in my opinion.
  17. No expert but i guess 1979/ 1980. T reg i don't remember seeing any past that date. the Four stroke GSs were taking over around that time.
  18. That is a nice clean bike, love the sound of triples, i have had Four over the past 46 years a Kawasaki Mach 3 500 HIE 1970 , and two Trident T150s 1970 & 1973. and a Triumph sprint 900 1996 i still have . Nothing sounds like a triple in my opinion.
  19. I had an RD identical to that M reg 1974, i bypassed the 250s altogether passed my test on a Honda 50 5 days after my 17th birthday and bought a triumph Daytona 500 1971. Then the RD350. I did a Solo tour of the Alps when i was 18 on that RD350. It never missed a beat. I can remember at first riding through France, passing the fuel stations seeing all the bikes parked and the riders laid on the grass resting. I found this surprising, but soon i realised just how big France was and how tired riding for days made you. It was a steep learning curve for me, and i think i grew up a lot on that tour. Long before satellite navigation or mobiles, it was just me the bike and the tool roll under the seat. One thing it did teach me was not to take too much gear, i was massively overloaded when i started preparing for this trip, glad i did a few trial runs up the A1 to north Yorkshire. i trimmed down my gear to the minimum, a trend i have gone with ever since when touring on the bike.
  20. You are lucky, Closest tidal marshes to me are 18 to 20 miles just not local enough to comply with the lockdown restrictions.
  21. A small quad should be capable of pulling logs about. The Yamaha RX100 clones from china &taiwan are common and are not usually expensive. Gumtree or local auctions or free ads shoul get you a few to look at. Look for ADLY rx100, or Mota roma blster . Aeon RT100. GEO Tomahawk 100. These ATVs are Youth sized, have Copies of the minarelli horizontal engine and Variomatic transmission, and final drive by chain. Nice simple reliable mechanics, parts readily available. Being two strokes they have devent power and are mostly fitted with autolube type lubrication systems so no mixing of two stroke needed. Most have kick and electric start. Ideal size for what you want to do. and they will fit in a small van like a VW caddy or similar. It is the way i would go, if you want narrow tracks, they will go where most motorcycles will go and very short wheelbase for transport and storage.
  22. I think their game cartridges were light green Paper cased.
