Mungler Posted February 13, 2008 Report Share Posted February 13, 2008 (edited) Firstly, a belated thank you to Hawkeye (Mike) for the invaluable advice that when buying shooting related frippery have it delivered to your offices so that your missus doesn't clock how much you have been spending. This worked very well for me until last night when I got home and opened an enormous parcel in front of the missus who immediately knew that it had not been delivered to home and well the game is now up. Secondly, a belated thank you to Lefty (Mathew) for proper instruction on use of a boresnake. I would normally leave cleaning my guns for as long as possible and have to use a load of nasty solvent stuff and make a real go of it to get the barrels clean. I now adopt the Lefty approach of running a bore snake through the barrels at the end of shooting whilst they are still warm and they always clean up first time, one pull through and no requirement for solvent. Two top *** bits. Edited February 13, 2008 by Mungler Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LEFTY478 Posted February 13, 2008 Report Share Posted February 13, 2008 Glad this has worked for you, Mung. As aside: the use of the latter should give you more time to work out a solution for the former. :o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Country_est Posted February 13, 2008 Report Share Posted February 13, 2008 As for the former, 1) Dont take it home boxed, and then say bloke at work was selling this for £x (fraction of what you paid). 2) As above, but put in with all the other gear and when (if) she ever notices it, just say you have had it for ages. Has worked Ok for me but she is now starting to check what the Ebay purchases are for :o Trev Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dazza Posted February 13, 2008 Report Share Posted February 13, 2008 When I buy something I tell the shop to send the receipt to my work address and the parcel to home. When asked where it came from I say I won it in a competition from one of the shooting mags Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
