    WW3

    common misconception made their. when it first showed up on the battle field the T-34 outclassed anything the Germans had, it was the driving force behind the rushed development of the panther. When the germans first launched the invasion of russia, germany had the bigger army. The mass horde attacks all along the front are a bit of propaganda. im sure desperate things happened in desperate times but the russian army gets potrayed as borderline zombies and it just wasn't the case. by the time they roled into Berlin in 45 the equipment and quality of the Russian army as a whole was pretty impressive. same as now they seem to be plagued by corruption,communication and leadership issues.
  2. if its a modern 3" steel proof chamber its been proofed with a charge of about 1330 bar and showed no sign of stress or damage. the going rate for a 2-3/4 cartridge is about 650 bar so it has to have been one hell of an unstable propellant to degrade to produce twice and then some pressure mate. id say you're gonna be absolutely fine but that may be the reason they feel a bit pokey huge margine before thumpy becomes dangerous. in my previous post about "way over the safety limit" i should of explained. it was like 70 year old 8mm mauser center fire ammo made in turkey
  3. i use a pair of solognac 500 10x42. think i payed about £120-£150 650g, silver coated BAK-4 prizum, on par with vortex crossfire and hawke endurance specs so not the best but still a solid set get used mostly at holy island during the season when nowts happening for the shotgun i become quite the twitcher

    WW3

    Really dont worry about it. Its to increase to 2.5% by 2030. NATO has historically wanted all nations at a minimum of 2% We currently spend 2.2% and were spending 2.5% in 2009 and were spending 5.5% in the 1980s. The 500 mil aid package for Ukraine will mostly be spend on developing our infrastructure to supply the Ukrainians further down the line. its the global equivalent of saying youve got 10k to help your brother out who's struggling but you use it to buy yourself a new car to take him to work sometimes. stock of lockheed, BAE, rheinmetall, leonardo or thales. all more than doubled since this kicked off. we still traded with russia to the value of 2.2 billion last year. and most EU nations a hell of allot more.
  5. some powder can degrade over the years and become more "pokey" think most powders in modern use are made so that they get less so as they degrade. no idea what was happening 30 years ago but ive seen videos on youtube of old ammo being way over the safe limit
  6. was made and sold under licence in the uk in the early 2000s as the logun gemini aswell. good airguns
  7. just so irrelevant to the thread. back on topic one way you may find out more information is to contact basc. i dont know if theyll give you time of day if youre a none member but they can be contacted still and may give you better guidance than you might find on here. https://basc.org.uk/firearms-licensing/
  8. old bed sheet or any large fabric, mix petrol or any other thinner and bathroom clear 100% silicone into a paint consistency, lay it out paint it on let it dry. very heavy duty waterproofed tarps.
  9. or set up a hide in woodland with heavy ivy and just knock em out the trees if its just an air rifle
  10. if you could make my clay shooting cost £800 from august to may id pay you for it now
  11. i once painted a bunch of old shells, that were more blue than grey much to the amusement of some on this forum. they worked very well, no idea if it was the spectrum the birds see in, the contrast, just lucky or other factors but the result was good shooting. the thread will be on here in the search function no doubt. found it
  12. application is around £80, medical can be anywhere from free to £150 and safes that will pass inspection for as little as £200 off ebay. So if all goes well its a ticket in your hand for roughly £300-£500 quid. 1000 cartridges is about £300 and climbing and 1000 clays is about the same and also going up. its not a cheap hobby to get into
  13. perhaps if people just asked square honest questions you'd get square honest answers that would benefit all. loading the questions,sledging,baiting and back handed insults is getting nothing resolved for any of you and its burying any question, answers or information of value. cheers lads
  14. unfortunately its not an easy question to answer as you have allot of factors. 1. you need to assess your own state and be honest with yourself (dont share on here as its a personal thing) how severe your depression is/was, what were the causes and if they still have an impact if your depression had/has a cause at all. is/was medication involved. 2. the nature of your charge. again dont share on here, was it a dynamic drunken out of character teenage even, or was this a pre meditated event in adult life or somewhere inbetween?. and as others have said above a honest straight forward conversation with your FAO not only allows you to sound them out, but it also shows considerable maturity, grown and awareness of the situation and can really only stand you in a better position. being completely honest about what i think your chances are and in the current climate id say 1/5 chance but honestly best of luck mate, life's hard and its everyone first go at it and the past is exactly that imo
  15. thats misleading a 680 action is a 680 action. all youre paying for is cosmetic bar some hand finishing and polishing that gives it no better feel to a well broken in gun. yes the EELL is a very attractive gun but its still just a silver pig tarted up. no greater example of diminishing returns than in the gun world with grades of the same model. each to their own but the 686 onyx in matt black is the most eye catching one in the line and its probably the most basic they ever made bar the essential.
