bloody green oval eh !
The rot set in (no pun intended) when they stopped making proper off road vehicles and started making luxury motor cars that just happen to include 4 wheel drive.

My son swears by his old flying gloves, thin leather, he only has a few pairs left now though. I do believe you can buy them online.
Best gloves i ever came across, used to beg borrow or steal from aircrew.

I would have agreed with you right up into my 'probably' 50s as I too never wore them unless at work for protection.
Since age and arthritis caught up I find I need them more and more.
Gloves, like socks should never be put onto cold extremities. Should always have enough at the wrist to pull 2 or 3" onto the forearm. Wearing a jacket with a warm cuff or simply putting a heat pad over your pulse point can prevent having to wear gloves in the short term.
When needed I wear compression gloves to help my circulation, sometimes inside the house when I'm bad. Again a heat pad on the pulse point helps.
Karrimor do a running glove with long cuffs and a key pocket in the palm, subsite a heat pad for the key and toastie hands.

a photo for the thread it may help explain why I’m struggling.
That would help, it could be compared with others.

No such thing as accidental discharge, it's either deliberate or negligent.

I don't do facebook but listening to that there Martin Lewis on breakfast TV, he says 99% of adverts on there are false, fake or scams, I believe that includes marketplace.

Which bits are you hoping to swap?
Just pre empting future problems.
I did a full strip down and rebuild to understand how my Ultralight works. It would appear there are no spare parts listed.
On striping I found a very small patch of surface rust on the lower ejector, without removing, it wouldn't be seen. It's now cleaned, greased and replaced.
Tinternet suggests it's based on the 680 series, soooo, I wondered IF, or just in case.......
I'm actually thinking of buying the newer Ultraleggero brand new, however, every time I save enough money something else crops up.

Hi gang.
Why is it when cars are being advertised on tv you can hardly tell what the car is because of the speed of the ad ?.
Also they are always shown on clear open roads and never stuck in traffic jams.
It's not just car ads, I often look at the Mrs and ask her if she's any idea what was advertised. In common with other women she obviously knows absolutely everything but even she blanks with most ads.
I think it's just a sign we're getting old. 🤔

Does anyone know if the Beretta Ultralight and the 680 series have interchangeable parts. Minus the alloy bits obviously.

The Mrs and I had ours last Sunday afternoon, they came to the house. Pfizer. Mrs suffered all through the week and I had just a sore arm. Yesterday, dunno if connected, couldn't get my head off the pillow, today just feeling rough.

In my case I needed a lighter gun.

My house and croft is the one right of centre [with the brown willows and poly tunnel] going down to the saltings, sound of Harris in the background
The sort of place I always wanted to move too and dreamed of. I envy you.

Many of the Derbyshire villages are as yet unspoilt however parking on a weekend is horrendous. If you like Robin Hood still, Little John's grave is untouched behind the church in Hathersage. The plague village of Eyam is also worth a visit. The Wells dressings are well worth seeing.
There are also some beautiful places still unspoilt in Norfolk including a couple of 10th century churches.

Excellent, brilliant results in a short space of time. I too can't leave home for long so appreciate the result you had. I'd be completely overjoyed.

Had my first clay lesson yesterday and one of the first recommendations from the instructor was to look at disabling the auto safety on my gun.
Does anyone have knowledge of how to do this on a Laurona?
I have to admit to hating auto safety’s on my air guns and it is something I disable on purchase as a personal preference. I’m hoping this does not descend into a for and against thread.
Trying to get this thread back on track.
I've no personal experience of Laurona, however I always remove auto safety on all my guns.
First I remove the butt and work out how everything works.
Sometimes it's a simple rod that just pulls out, nothing to replace and job done. Other times it's a complete strip down and requires a roll pin replacing, you can buy a box of differant sizes cheap enough.
On my current gun, there's a piece looks like a hockey stick, if removed it needs a spacer or the safety catch rattles. Easier to just nip the end off and file smooth.

Not done much on vehicles since my LR Disco went. Couldn't do much on the Range Rover, too complicated. Before that I had a hoist in the garage, still have far too many tools, did everything myself.
I don't like the sucky pumps they don't get the muck out and you also need to change the filter.
I don't do anything now as my current vehicle is on lease and it gets done annually on contract and if it doesn't that's their problem at lease end.
It used to be oil and filter every 3000 miles or 3 months, now I think its 12000 miles or 12 months.

The way it should be , you shouldn't be beating for the money. When I have been beating on shoots I was always glad to be out with like minded folk plus got vermin shooting.
Fed and watered plus beaters day and all year vermin shooting was enough for me , no need for cash as it spoils everything.
For 3 years before leaving school, weekends and holidays I got part time work on a sheep farm above Hathersage, plus work on other farms ad hoc through beating.
The work was back breaking dawn to dusk plus as much shooting as I had time for. Taught me so much more than money could buy.

Joeys are one of the best pike baits, I used to have my local fishmonger buy them in special for me.

Most folk do it for the enjoyment rather than ££s, if it was money they wanted, plenty of part time work going.
Till I read a post above I'd never heard of anything but cash in hand, cash generally means no tax so unaccountable.
Before I joined the Army I used to beat on a grouse shoot in Derbyshire, 10/- if you were lucky plus grub and a bottle of double diamond.
Beating one shoot and a very famous person gave me and my two friends a pound note each. That day the gamekeeper didn't pay us at all, said we'd had enough.

Yup, my Disco 1 200Tdi (probably the best ever non series/defender type in my opinion) needed me to buy a welder to keep pace. My Disco 2 was going the same way.
Some years ago I had occasion to be in and out of Lode Lane several times during the year and saw brand new chassis stood on end out doors ready for use. Several months later, covered in rust they were still there. No doubt fitted as needed later. Built in failure.
