Funnily enough the chap who gave me this rifle also gave me a GAT  pistol which, like you, was my first entry into shooting, odd it may be but I am having the pistol fettled as the trigger takes two fingers to pull it and I want it right even though it will only be used for family fun. Strange...

Thanks guys, I think my friend did a lovely job and I know I would not have done anything like as good a restoration as he has done 😊 The photos do not show the stock off to how it really looks when the sun catches it but this one is a little better. Who would have thought a cheap little rifle...

A few weeks ago I was given a rusty old junior air rifle which I was really pleased with because it was the same that I bought for my son when he was 8, he is now 49 so a long time ago. The gun in question was a Diana Model 16 so not a sought after item but to me it was simple, I wanted it...

Another Superb lover here both 9 & 7.5 are used on sporting, the 9 shot on as many targets as possible. Like Hamster, I have used them for years until Eley almost went out of their way to upset dealers and ground owners in my area so for a couple of years I switched to Cheddite Trap Oro but...

trap, skeet or sporting as the position will be differeng. I agree with Will regarding the use of the mirror to check your mount but don't just do this a couple of times as repeatability is vital. Phil

I have been curious about this gun for a little while and whilst in the RFD the other day, I saw he had a s/h gun which I might try out on Thursday at Beverley. I had a look at the range of guns online but as yet it is still quite limited as the Sport is only available with 30'' barrels. The...

I am surprised you didn't hear the shooting going on at only a mile away, glad you enjoyed it though. Phil

A follow on from a couple of days ago regarding the Bowman trap my pal and myself brought back to life. God knows how long it stood out in all weathers but we bought it anyway. BEFORE Then a little welding, rip off the badly rusted seat, remove as much rust as possible, remove the arms and...

Been busy with some renovation work on a Bowman trap my pal and myself bought for a bit of fun. It has been left out in the rain a little bit too long, it will however be spot on in a very short while. Phil

Sounds like a plan Ian.

We will be there on the Saturday along with some of my air rifle shooting buddies from another forum. Perhaps see you there.

My two laps had Me c Grabbers and I had a Pacific, all were much higher production levels than the Loadall but never heard of any problems although of course trying to make them more cheaply could have adverse effects during ownership. Still want one though. Phil

Ian just a thought, I have not been reloading for many years and I was thinking if I go back into reloading, I would want to get the loaded cartridges checked before using them. Now I may be wrong but I have a hunch that Clay and Game offer this service. Might be worth a look if you have doubts...

Very nice but one has double cards so I assume that one is for second barrel, only one mind. Positive thinking there.  😇         I like the bulls as well.  Phil

I always thought you were a man of quality Ian, like me, you can take the lad out of Yorkshire but you can't take Yorkshire out of the lad....

If you get the chance to attend the show Ian, it will be well worth it as the Mec loaders will be there I think so get your passport a nd have a drive into Yorkshire, Harrogate to be precise. the loaders were all working at the last show so I assume they will be again but I am going to phone...

I must confess that I keep looking at the Mec loaders with serious interest and intend reviewing the gear at the Northern Shooting Show. did you mean Garstang Ian Phil

I think it is fair to say that once we get an idea in our heads, it can take some shifting. If you have a nagging doubt about your gun fit, hold on to your money until you have spent a few sessions with a GOOD coach and let him establish if the issue (assuming there is one) is with you or the...

I have had Beretta 680 which was my introduction to the company back in the early 80's then followed by an assortment of 682,  followed by a mental problem causing me to move away from Beretta for a few years but thankfully the pills worked and came back to Beretta with a DT10 and will not do...

John Longstaff, now there is a name from the past. I used to buy boxes of 1000 mixed Eley cartridges minus the lead so we chopped the cases and save all the powder then remove the primers. I also had a friend who often bought in lead shot which I shared out with lads at the club as most of us...
