mattslaptop247 Posted January 12, 2011 Report Share Posted January 12, 2011 I was just wondering, who has an ongoing shooting related project and what is it? And would it have been easier and cheaper to have bought whateer it is that you are doing?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paddy Galore! Posted January 12, 2011 Report Share Posted January 12, 2011 my win 70, hasn't cost me a penny yet cos i haven't decided whether to just re barrel it with a faster twist or change caliber entirely, guessing it'll be around this time next year when i finally get it done.

mattslaptop247 Posted January 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2011 I rescued an old Lofley shotgun ( a local maker), it had lovley damascus barrels ad some of the best scroll engraving I have seen. Only problem is the stock is cracked and the barrels are pitted.Quoted £1500+vat :blink: to have the barrels lined by Nigel Teague, so I guess It'll be staying in the cabinet a while longer, unless anyone want to make a kind donation!

You might try UK Gun Repairs My link. They're very good and more than reasonable cost wise. You might be surprised! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FalconFN Posted January 12, 2011 Report Share Posted January 12, 2011 Thinking to taking my old digital camera apart, removing the IR blocking filter and fitting it to a scope and using it with a bright spotlight and IR filter combo. Just a bit of fun but may get some short range night vision shooting. Or I've spent too much time believeing what I read online and will wreck a camera.
