Works for me.

A very interesting read. Although the assasination was the spark that ignited the powder keg a little over a month later, war at some stage had been inevitable due mainly to the Kaiser's bellicose attitude. He had a huge chip on his shoulder due to a number of reasons. Because of an accident at...

We did laugh in the nicest possible way. BTW, the gun's owner thought it was funny too. You really had to be there.

60 grains was certainly too much for one guy's Walker a couple of weeks ago. Everyone stopped to watch who was making all the noise when next thing you know his barrel is flying down the range. The arbour had sheared in front of the wedge. How we laughed.

Isn't it the other way round?

Excellent video Mike. I also assumed you used a mirror. Don't think l'll be trying it any time soon though. I just can't afford another camera.

Yeah, and we'd love to have your laws regarding firearms. What ssyoumans says is pretty much right. BP guns are classed as firearms. A licence is required for the purchase, transportation, storage and use of BP but it's easily obtainable if you already have BP firearms on your firearms...

Hi BlackNet, very interesting pics. I've never bought Swiss due to the considerable difference in cost. Is it worth the extra, bearing in mind I'm only a mediocre marksman at best?

He went to any lengths to sell papers. Got the sack several times I believe for overstepping the mark and was up to his neck in the phone hacking scandal in Britain several years ago which resulted in the Sunday paper The News of the World being forced to close. He always seems to come up...

I didn't realise this happened 3 years ago when I started reading the thread. I was feeling so sorry for your son and am so glad that both of you are coping well. God bless you both. Fred.

HSO, It's not that difficult, at the moment anyhow, to get an FAC providing you haven't been too naughty in the past. Any crime of violence would probably prevent you from being granted one as would any conviction for a firearms offence (this includes air rifles). If you have served a term of...

It's been confirmed that 12 people died. It would appear he used a rifle and possibly a shotgun as well. I'm afraid this will have far reaching consequences for shooting over here. I think after this all we'll be left with is muzzle loaders and possibly .22's. I hope I'm wrong. Needless to say...

I'm sorry, I couldn't make head nor tail of this thread until I got to post #13 then all was made clear. Pretty funny I have to say. Fred.

An episode from The High Chaparral entitled The Guns of Johnny Rondo. Later released as a single by Faron Young. I can’t remember how it all went but it started something like this:- It started when McGrawley came And put young Johnny’s Ma to shame Revenge was sweet that night in town...

Probably very little if any .303 surplus available anyway, probably with the exception of POF. Terrible stuff, possibly verging on dangerous. Don't go there. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UcU5zzZNpmI Fred.
