Get a grip oowee, this is a mayor telling his police force to shut down a political gathering, I don't care if it is left or right wing, it is the abuse of power that we are seeing that is frightening.

This is an abuse of power and it is frightening when it is used to shut down free speech and we see hate marches in London allowed to go ahead

Thank you for this kind offer. I live in Minster Lovell so around ten miles from Farmoor and would love to join you and learn to fly fish. I am retired so can go almost anytime except Tuesdays. Stuart

I have one of their jackets and would buy the same again. I bought it at Ian Coley's open day off the reduced sale rail for £50 and it is smart, hard wearing.

We put 2% into defence spending but the civil service MOD manages to waste and mismanage a large proportion of the money. From Ajax tanks, ships engines that over heat when deployed to the warmer waters in the eastern med, two aircraft carriers that can each carry 36 fighter planes going to sea with 8 between them. Government is also muddle headed, why did David Cameron when PM agree to scrap our Harriers before we had replacements? The government needs to clear out the dead wood in the civil service and get value for money. Rant over

evening Andy I would like to buy the chokes, key and case please, I do not have a pay pal account but can do a bank transfer or post a cheque. Stuart

I would just like to say to anyone looking for a quality shotgun at a very reasonable price should look at this gun. They are very well made, mine has shot 1.000s of cartridges each year since 1989 and still feels like it is only a few years old.

Ship builders used lignum vitae for stern gland bearings on the ships prop shafts. The bearings were made so that a small amount of sea water leaked through and reduced the friction between the wood and the shaft. Just cutting a circular block out of the blank will blunt the teeth of even the best band saw blade. To machine a bowl from it you will need an engineering lathe and cutting tools. Wood turning chisels are not designed to cut wood this dense and will loose their edge within seconds of touching the wood. On most modern wood lathes the head bearing are not robust enough to take the spinning momentum of this heavy wood. Just drill a clearance hole in the edge and try and put a screw in it. I say the edge as you will likely snap the screw in the wood. If you decide to use the wood just be careful as it is very unforgiving and you can break tools and hurt yourself if you treat it like a normal hardwood.

I would just put the barrels and fore end in the cabinet and leave the stock out until the pad has dried. Happy new year Dave

I have the 15/17 and I find the trigger great, if you try one you will likely buy it they are that good. I also had a Bruno/CZ and for the price I paid it was a good buy but having put rounds through the Anchultz I would not want to go back to that trigger

far to many about what they had for lunch🤥

I served on the ton class sweepers HMS Penston and Woolaston in Hong Kong and the pictures of the ships brought back so many memories of being there in the late 1960s. Thank you Handy for putting them on here.

I think every 1517 owner wants a spare magazine so best of luck. If Anschutz made a ten round I'm sure it would be a good seller.

I have a pair of Macwet gloves and I think I wasted my money, the wet in the name led me to think that in wet weather they would keep my hands warm, all they do is soak up the rain and hold it close to your hands. They are not even warm in dry cold weather.

Hi Minky I am sorry you found the Stirton Forum too intrusive, I have been a member for many years and can't remember what details I had to fill in. I can only say there are members on there that have represented England, Scotland and UK at international shooting competitions and many small bore club shooters. It is also the only forum that supports 50 meter free pistol and ten and 20 meter air pistol shooters. As for going through hoops, I agree with you 100%. I have given up all forms of target shooting except clays because of the frustrations imposed by legislation and club committees. Enjoy your shooting while you can.
