Re-Pete

Do you need to keep your foot on the brake pedal, and the ignition switched on while you're actually shooting? Or have I misunderstood something? Pete

Sorry, I thought someone was looking for a recommendation for a target air pistol, not a specific model.... Pete

http://www.vzduchovka.cz/katalogy/Aeron-B96-en.pdf A leftie one of these recently sold for £290. I have one (RH), and it's brilliant......very accurate, and 490fps with RWS R10 pellets....5 shot magazine, rapid fire.......... The CO2 cartridges are cheap. Servicing and spares for the guns are still available via www.sureshot-airguns.co.uk. They might even be able to help with sourcing one. Highly recommended but not easy to find. Pete

And a bit more context: https://www.rt.com/news/515036-fossil-fuel-pollution-premature-deaths/ No vaccine for this, though....... Pete

That time is unlikely to come. All the indications are that the virus is endemic...it has to be managed/worked around. Hopefully, the vaccines will facilitate this to a certain extent. Pete

A lot of people are "carrying on as usual", which is maybe why the infection rate is so slow to recede........... Pete

Dorg said: "and as value for money they could start with target maintenance...." I'll drink to that, particularly where the Intarso target frames are concerned............ Pete

This is my plan for a CG-RPA 2000 that I have, presently in 6x47.......the second barrel will be 6BR. Pete

I just laughed myself sick........... Pete

Musgrave 6BR, CG-RPA 200 6x47, and a Tikka M595 .223 TR.............I particularly like old Anschutz walnut stocks. Pete

Inject polyester or epoxy resin mixed with filler in the stock bolt holes to give a solid region where strength is needed, then drill and add pillars to taste............at least, that's what I'd do. I assume the Bifrost is the cheapest option? Pete

The second link is just for the wire coils, not the heater.....read the description. (Unless Condition 1 meant that you'd need both?) This is a regular ploy used on ebay........... Pete

The mini-USB power lead socket on the Labradar is ridiculously flimsy for such a piece of equipment............a standard USB would have made more sense. I'm looking at ways to modify mine. Pete

Well at least it's reassuringly expensive, like the "high end" brands......... Pete

Best wishes for the new year to all.....😎 Pete

Might just be worth a punt for 170 squid................ https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1000W-Mini-Ductor-Magnetic-Induction-Heater-Kit-for-Automotive-Flameless-Heat-HQ/363212174584?_trkparms=aid%3D1110006%26algo%3DHOMESPLICE.SIM%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D225114%26meid%3D6e60b0a83c2e47749384798dad7b257b%26pid%3D100005%26rk%3D2%26rkt%3D12%26mehot%3Dco%26sd%3D133374189909%26itm%3D363212174584%26pmt%3D1%26noa%3D0%26pg%3D2047675%26algv%3DSimplAMLv5PairwiseWebWithDarwoV3BBEV2b%26brand%3DUnbranded&_trksid=p2047675.c100005.m1851 Has the ebay money back guarantee.............FWIW I agonised for days before ordering a tumbler from China, but it turned out to be fine, and is still working a couple of years on. Pete

Presumably, the auction house takes a fee from the seller as well? Pete

Not heard of that, but it would certainly make it much more interesting. They're very nice rifles in their original form, but if you like tacticool, at this price, this one's a no-brainer. Pete

I'm sure this "should not" as opposed to "must not" confusion is deliberate. Pete

What I'd really like to know is that if I drive from a tier 4 zone into an adjacent tier 4 zone to a legally open venue, according to the govt. website ie Bisley, will I be breaking the law?........................anyone?? Any police officers out there? Pete

Sounds like it.......the Sportco target rifle I've used was a single shot, this one: Sounds like the bolt lugs are machined in the barrel itself, which would make re-barreling a bit tricky........... https://www.thamesvalleyguns.co.uk/SportcoM44.pdf Pete

Here you go: Pete

When an ad for this appeared earlier in the year, I think it turned out to be a Sportco, but I may be wrong. Pete

I've managed to shoot throughout the inter-lockdown period without getting anywhere near members of NRA staff. The online booking system & electronic targets have made this very easy, and long may it continue. Pete
