Do you know a rough weight pal?

Hi Dave
Is the 20G Escort multi choke? Cheers

Where abouts in Donny are you?

Nice tidy job. I had some spare shadow foam to do similar but lost the case I'd planned to use!

Getting close to the kitchen being finished and the Mrs wanted a new light for above the island. We've already got the island made of scaff boards and shelves made of scaff boards and metal fittings.
After a bit of design work it was off to The Metal Store I went. Placed my order and waited eagerly.
I'd bought some Edison fittings but they were too big to fit the diameter fittings I'd ordered (and much less safe, so switched to bayonet style that are far better insulated. Some fun figuring out the best wiring, cutting and drilling and we have a new light! It's on a smart control and a wireless kinetic switch, so no batteries needed.

Revo did one that was selectable as pump or semi. Looked fun.
The MP-A24 is basically just a Hatsan Escort in a tacticool configuration. Different stock, sights and a few other bits, meant more for Practical Shooting than clays IMHO. Though I've met a few who like to pest control with pistol grips.
If you like it, grab one and enjoy. It's not the "done thing" for clays, but having fun is more important to me than looking good. You'll get some funny looks though! If you get S1 some grounds might get funny, especially if you filed the mag tube and just went nuts. Also beware that you'll be lobbing empties everywhere; be aware of who is at the side of you and carry a magnet on a stick to clean up after yourself

Bump! Drop to £300

Drop to £350 after doing a bit more research on the value

Open to offers as I'm only guessing at the overall worth.
Cheers

Myford ML4 (I think) in decent working order. Loads of extras too.
The lathe works perfectly, belt drive and clutch are spot on. Power feed etc all work fine. The previous owner couldn't find the official motor control, so knocked up a unit that works perfectly, if a bit industrial looking. The quick change toolpost works well, some tools either need to be shimmed from the bottom of the holder needs a bit grinding off the bottom to get low enough, I've done this with at least one holder. One holder is for parting.
It comes with a stand, loads of change wheels for different threads, milling vise, spare faceplate, new unused 4 jaw chuck with spare jaws, tailstock chuck and centres, knurling tool and a set of HSS and carbide tipped cutting tools. There's the original tool holder and various other cutting tools
I used this loads a few years ago to learn on but just don't get the time these days with a house renovation and young kids.
Looking for £500, collection from 5 mins off M1 J31 (A57)
Cheers

You are between a rock and a hard place. You want the distressed look of old scaffold boards, but also want a nice smooth sealed surface, Not easy to have both.
You're bang on there. They're brand new boards, sanded and scorched, but I've no idea how they'll move around as they settle in
-
Thanks for all the info guys. I've talked her into waiting for a bit and seeing how the boards "weather", then we'll revisit with filler and varnish later on.
Cheers!

I've seen loads of these online recently. They ask for money to unblock their card, add minutes/data to their phone, pay a phone bill so they can get their old number back etc. Usually £40-100. Some are pretty convincing and I bet a lot of people are getting caught out.

glass top ?
I suggested that, as well as resin. Apparently I'm wrong!

Hi all
We've had a kitchen island made out of new scaffold boards. It looks amazing and works really well. One thing the Mrs isn't happy with is the surface. The guys have sealed it with screwfix wood treatment, but she was expecting a more robust and smooth surface.
Any recommendations for what would be best to use, bearing in mind that it has already been treated.
We may need to look at some filler as well.
Thanks

If you're ever up this way take a trip up to RDG/Myford in Mytholmroyd. It's beautiful journey on a sunny day and their selection of tools and knowledge is excellent

We are in agreement.
But, I'm heartily sick of people on here moaning how terrible the organisations are, they won't be getting a penny from me, and so forth, then proceeding to do nothing constructive.
"What did you do when they came for lead ammo, grandad?"
"I had a good moan on PigeonWatch, son"
That said, I'm pleased see several members on here are working on their individual responses to the HSE Consultation.
I agree with you on that pal

I assume all the BASC bashers on here will be formerly responding to the UK's consultation with well-reasoned, evidence-backed, arguments against the proposals?
Or will you just moan on internet forums?
Hate on BASC all you like, I'm sure Conor's a big boy, but are you lot actually going to do anything yourself other than **** and moan like grumpy old men?
Is that not the point of BASC and other shooting orgs though? To represent the voice of their memberships on matters such as this on a larger scale? Why would you pay membership if they weren't representing you? Why would you not bash them for taking your money and making decisions that don't sit right with those keeping the lights on?
I agree that people should be taking matters into their own hands (I don't think any of the shooting orgs are fit for purpose, except maybe the NSRA), I have, but the paid-for organisations shouldn't escape criticism just because you don't like the bashing.

Batteries are certainly not the best investment in many cases IMHO, the initial high cost and short lifespan are one downside, the other is that if you are home during the day you will be using most of your generated power therefore not charging your battery. The amount of panels depends upon their output, you can not exceed 4kw. We have 8 high output panels producing a max of 4kw. Oddly enough, this first quarter has seen far too much sunlight for an average year, our output has exceeded our predicted max amount and we have had to send photographic evidence of our readout.
Batteries needn't be expensive. We overpaid for ours, when in reality it was a cheap (Sub £1k) UPS battery with a 3-5 year lifespan. I would average that most people would be out during the day, hence the suggestion, but even if you're in you'd have to use 100% or waste it. I work from home and have very rarely 100% of the generate electricity.
High Output panels were seen as cost inefficient the last time I looked, only recommended if you needed to maximise output while minimising roof space as the cost was almost double that of standard panels without double the electricity generated. That could well have changed over the last couple of years though as new tech is coming out all the time, helping to decrease costs.

But a decent sized installation and batteries is now closer to £20,000 than £10,000, as I understand it? So a lot more up front cost and longer payoff? Though I suppose electricity costs are only going to go up...
£11k was the figure I was quoted recently.
It would be really difficult to run 100% on solar too, without investment in wiring, new appliances and changes in usage. Our battery really struggled with the washing machine and drier for example.
I once saw a really clever inverter that had switchable loads, so with high demand it could turn off certain circuits for short periods of time so the batteries could cope. It was about £10k alone though and required the equivalent to a new consumer unit being installed
-
There's no Feed-In-Tariff anymore for new installations, so your repayment is purely based on the electricity you save and a miniscule amount you *might* sell back to the grid. Repayment is sitting around 10-15 years just based on savings alone.
Batteries are the best investment for solar PV as they allow you to properly use the energy you generate. A decent sized installation (12 panels I think) with 2 batteries should cover a fair amount of households average electricity needs, or so 've read.

Where abouts are you? Are you ever down Rotherham/Sheffield way?

Could you not get a pic adapter for your Bipod? I had one a while back that sat in-between the Harris style and the original stud, with a short rail on each side

How's your German? Might help with the diagrams etc. Or you could run it through a translator like Google Lens.

I did this a few years back. The FLO advised to get an RFD to register the gun as S1, then "sell" back to me and enter correctly onto my cert. Then I made the change. I think the RFD charged me £10-20 for their time, but did it for nowt in the end as I was buying another gun.
