This is not a Brexit debate but I do have to agree with you. When the whole Brexit issue was being put to the electorate there were so many things that were not made known to them it is unbelievable. I read on the BBC about a fish export company who have had to employ two new members of staff...

The reasons for having to pay more for anything imported from the EU is obvious and as I have said it works both ways. I don't buy from the UK anymore because of extra charges that are legitimately added to the cost, some other things I cannot buy because they can no longer be exported to the...

Do you want to know something? The above is nonsense . I live in France BUT I used to buy a lot of stuff from suppliers in the UK. Because of Brexit that has now stopped because of the extra I have to pay and in some cases it cannot be exported to the EU. So the message is it works in both...

Just bought two thousand RIO Star Team Evo for €440 or about £387 through a deal the club has put together with a local supplier good deal I think as they are said to be going up in price here as well. Trust T2 available for €172 per thousand might get some them too they are a good cartridge too.

That is probably down to the fact that they traditionally wear wellies too 🤣 but you are right . It is down to the fact that with skeet and trap the athletes are honing a technique but in fairness I think there are still more really top class trapshooters using traditional gunstocks.

Not looking for an argument, never do with a world champion, but Vincent Hancock seems to do alright at Skeet and they shoot way faster gun down than any other shotgun discipline gun up or down. I think it is all about the individual what is one manes meat is another vegan delight🤣 I can...

Here we go where? My Hmmm is why has a simple grant taken so long? The syndicate I was in had members who were shall we say less than model citizens and had their grants awarded. My point is what has happened to the system were a simple decision whether or not someone a shotgun certificate takes...

Hmmm...........

Very fair call by Teague's they have tested the gun found no real fault that can be attributed directly to themselves but are willing to help you out replacing your barrels. This is way beyond what many other companies would do in similar situations. I take it that your insurers were not...

Stop get yourself a large paper bag put it over your mouth and nose and take a few long slow inhalations then have a nap. The above is embarrassing.

@Lloyd What the hell is wrong with you? You are creating circumstances to fit your own narrative and it is not relevant to anything I have posted. I have merely pointed out that the makers of that barrel designed and used materials they thought appropriate to satisfy their own standards and...

I cannot understand why you are posting the above rubbish. You are stating I made a  " synopsis " all I have stated is that the manufacturers of those barrels designed them to be a certain wall thickness and operate within a working load that they have found to be adequately ensure the barrels...

I could not agree more! The fact of the matter is that the barrels of the gun have been altered from the original specification by a respected engineering company. The thing for me is that just because they are such a company does not mean that mistakes could not be made, and this has been the...

I do not think you are talking BS what you are saying could be done... at some cost by a laboratory. To be honest what a lot of total bluster!  Here is a fact. The makers of that barrel took a rod of steel with a certain tensile strength... lets say for argument sake 250 tonnes / cm2 I have no...

The OP specified chokes made for his gun... they said they supplied them...  and why only one failure? Easy to find out though just measure it.. oh wait it has been destroyed🤣

On this point I particularly call extreme BS ! If one examines the length of the choke tube and the area in which the damage has occurred.  All of the damage that has occurred within the length of the choke tube and barrel where the barrel that has been intrinsically or fundamentally weakened by...

One thing that has not been addressed... could work carried out by a company who machine barrels to accept movable chokes lead to a plastic deformation immediately at the interface of the barrel /choke ? Personally ? I think it could IF there was even the smallest of gaps in that area. The...

They are indeed BUT proofing a shotgun barrel is based on the premise of none plastic deformation. That is that when proofed the gun is subjected to up to 50 greater load than the design limits of the barrels in question and those design limits will be well in advance of what the proof house is...

Dieseling is a phenomenon that normally happens when an oil/air mixture is compressed in a close vessel though is it not?  I am sorry you are fantasizing here. The lead shot forced through the interface of the barrel and the choke tube is the critical thing for me because it goes before the wad...

Classic manufacturers get out! Here is what we think ... nothing to do with us... but we will cut and prepare your barrels to accept the remaining chokes free of charge... which is actually more work than we did on your gun in the first place! I am a cynic, I know, but if they have no fault in...
