Doesn't matter when he died , it looks like another outfit is to fold. Blooming shame. There won't be anywhere soon. I've spent many hours in there and spent a medium fortune also. He was a character and could be a cantankerous old *** at times. Such a shame.

I did but it ain't Ķings English. Those Russians had a bottle of high-octane vodka when they wrote that lot.

Neither could I. I had a look on Wikipedia for the Russian alphabet and it could be.. equated to,,,IZ 18M. Not sure. Its Birmingham proofed 3" 4 tons □" Found one online as IZH 18M Right.. I found out how-to translate the Russian text on that link when it opens. I highlighted some of the text and a tab appeared at the bottom of the page which gave the option of Russian or English. Click on the English and the whole lot was in English. I read some of it but it was written in a random sort of way that I couldn't get my head round. It was like a few people were having some sort of conversation about stuff.???

I just tried the link and it DOES work ..BUT it's in Russian, SO how to translate it.? I don't see any control buttons. MY LIMITED EXPERIENCE of Russian guns has shown that although they are a bit basic and a tool, they are well made with chromed bores. There was one particular gun that had been really neglected and it stopped working. I dismantled 5he gun for the guy and cleaned about a spoonful of sand/mud out of the action and away it went for more abuse. Going way way back they did advertise top quality hand made BEST SbS sidelock guns but I've never seen any of them.

I haven't tried the link... BUT, coincidentally i've been reloading 20 gauge this evening AND i've dragged a single barrel ~~18M out to test chamber a few random selected reloads to just make sure that they chamber ok. I was given this tool when the owner decided to pack it all in. Because it is a single 20 and a big agricultural i've never used it very much considering that i'vegot a ton of other guns. BUT it is chambered 3" and proved to 4tons ¤" so it is strong. Now it is solid but you wouldn't want to put more than the odd heavy through it. If it was cleaned and lubed regularly it would last several hundred years. At least.!! Edit. The two letters in front of the 18 look like a capital N backwards and he other ĺetter is like 2 capital Ks back to back

what sort.? Cows, horses

Thanks for the replies. I have a browning with a LOT of chokes so when I next go shooting with him we can offer a choke and see if it does fit. Not that he needs a different choke. He shoots really well with it as it is, so I can't see any real advantage to changing the one that he uses to something different. Personally I have decided to stick to one pair of chokes which is half & half in top and bottom.

If you either own the land or have written permission why would you spend money to loose performance of a gun. let it ring out and let them know that you are out on patrol. using a silenced weapon always seems to be either that someone is trying to be hiding or up to no good, being out where they shouldn't be. Tell me why.?

Son in Law has a Mossberg pump but only one choke. It is a flush fitting choke. Are there other types and makes that fit and are compatible, such as Berreta or Browning. I have looked through the for for sale but haven't seen any. Advise me.

Yes that's all true,, BUT, i've never seen any amount at any price which would make it worth doing that. The exception was an amount of game cartridges at a realistic price which were about 1 1/2 hours round trip. There was a saving on buying them but they will be sitting around for quite some time before I use them up. My point was that GENERALLY there isn't much that is sold within a 3...4 hour drive. I did go to Essex to buy a shotgun and to Surrey for a MEC reloader and to north Kent for another reloader. Even in the same county the journey took about 3 hrs round trip including chatting with the guy about shooting, the equipment and the wind etc.

I don't know where the north south divide is but I can remember something about holidays.... People from op norf have 50p left after their holiday... They say what can I buy with 50p.. they are told, well you could have a bag of wine gums... Excellent !! Ive had a good holiday. The bloke from downt Sarf says "hey I've got 50p left from my holiday I've had a great holiday. just a different culture set.

There's something wrong here... they are not far enough op north... too far from me to be economical to travel. No one down south ever sells ANYTHING. Good luck with the sale. There's definitely something wrong here. Perhaps the seller has been having too much Christmas spirit. Selling cartridges,??? Whatever next. They'll be selling guns next. 😁😁😆 Edit.. They might be offering guns for sale but none of them sell. No one buys guns off of here.

I thought that you had a slab of dog food available. 😄 BUMP

I've got load from way back when. Different world back then with lots of basic guns from people like Elderkins and the like for people to use as a tool and not a fashion accessory.

GUBERNMENT and the rulers etc used to control the population by war, famine and pestilence. Human population is just like rats. When the thin veneer of civilization is scratched off it just like rats. Look at what happened in Saigon at the end of the Vietnam War or what happened in kabul when we pulled out of Afghanistan. WE PROMISED to help those who fought alongside us. And did we .,,, Nahh . And those that got out to Pakistan are in hiding under threat of being sent back to the taliban. And so why are we worrying about people who take drugs. Its their choice. I don't feel the need to rush out and get drugs.

Have you got the reloading kit for 28g

The speed /reaction time here in Kent is fast, so from this experiment we find that there could be different causes. It's very wet out there and it could be getting.... Into things? Recently we keep getting mini power cuts that last a few seconds to a few mins and the other day one phase went down from 9.30 until gone midnight, we were OK, next-door was out just after she had âlĺ of her Christmas food delivered. The next neighbour had power and freezer space so took it all in. We didn't know about her plight and it wasn't until the evening that we saw flashing lights and engineers up poles. Not a pleasant t time to be doing the job because it was thrashing down. SO; do an inter net speed test on the line and if you can safely check you voltage, see what that is.

I thought that it was called...BUILT IN OBSOLESCENCE...Another item that I have is a very nice eyeball webcam. For Windows. Not compatible with IMac. Shame, what a waste of natural resources.

I know how to waste loads of money....petrol. electric..council tax, water rates, car tax, tv license , general vat. The list is endless. MONEY DOESN'T EXIST. IT'S ALL SMOKE AND MIRRORS. Edit... The biggest Highway robbers are the councils ,,council tax theft. And the road tax... pot holes. Emission zone tax. Parking wardens. Oxygen thieves the lot of them. I just don't know what to waste my (the kings) moneyon next.

Remember... money does not actually exist. When / should you go to borrow money they don't actually get a bloke in a brown coat to shovel a few wheelbarrows of coin into the back of your motor AND every time you spread this coin to others THE GUBERNMENT get money in the form of taxes,,VAT. It's a constant rotary wheel. As in the song another day older and deeper in debt. You owe your soul to the company store. It really doesn't matter. You earn it, you spend it and you die....then you have to pay vat on dying.

We'll need a boat. Thrashing down most of today. Had a call out at 6am from son in law. Pitch black fast asleep. He'd taken the daughters car in to work to give it a run. He'd done 6 miles and it has thrown a belt. No alternator, no power steering diminishing battery power. Just had to get him off of the road as slowly and safely as possible. We'll recover it another day. Too wet to get into it now. It ain't much fun being bolted out of bed from fast asleep at 6am into a night storm

It's been stair rods nearly all day. Just stopped long enough for me to put the bins out. Roll on global warming. Still they'll be a hose pipe ban in a few weeks. I expect southern water will up the water rates to pay for more water storage in the summer and more sewage pumping into the sea. Oh and to pay for the millions in fines for pumping the sewage Into the sea and to pay out massive salaries and dividends

What is that white stuff. I have seen it very occasionally. Is it frost.? This morning there was a sort of frozen drizzle on the ca4s and the road. But it was all gone by 10 o'clock. I went out and checked her car out and ran the engine so that it was warm inside for her and the grandkids to go to a pantomime. When she came back this afternoon, fog had comedown a bit getting heavier until 1/4 hour ago when it has been lifting..a bit. IF we ever do see that white stuff, ( once in the blue moon) it is generally all gone by lunchtime. IF we do get the white stuff it could be the beginning of the end of the world as we know it and we might have to fly south,,,like.. to the canaries. Ps.. how do you know if there is too much space snow.? The dog disappears into the snow when it goes out for a poop. And you can't throw a shovel of snow up on top of the pile. Of snow. Not dog poop

Somewhere I have a betamax recorder + tapes, a VHS +a lot of tapes and a handful of the floppy discs and the smaller 1.44mb plastic bodied floppy discs. All of the 35mm film cameras. This last year I bought a new micro 4/3 rds digital camera. I do have a Sony digital video camera that runs a small CD. It was a lot of money. Top of the range at that time. 6 months later hard drives had made it semi redundant. Modern mobile phones take good images and video... but they ain't the same as a dedicated camera. It's like having a jcb digger. It was designed to dig holes and move soil. You could put the Mrs and kids on a sofa in the bucket but it ain't what it was designed for. The march of technology is relentless. As is fashion

Betamax...VHS.....BLUE RAY CD's. Old-school daarrling. As a result of redecorating a large collection of VHS tapes from the time of our kids have been consigned to the bin. Shame but no one want them. I asked the Mrs...how much did we spend on this lot. ????
