So where are they made ?

Show knife , where are these made ? I know someone else selling very similar knives and he imports them from Pakistan.

What twist barrel are you using with 80gn JLk VLDs ?

Well if he can make one better than a Mora for the same price I`ll take one

Er yes they can and they are used daily by professional deer managers /game keepers and hunters etc .

Mora - £10.00 -decent steel that holds an edge , no tears lost if you lose or break it.

Had that happen on me , I was unsure if it had fired or not as there were several other shooting around me , I decided to check and sure enough a bullet head was a few inches up the spout , I dread to think what would have happend if I`d chanced it and sent another one up behind it ?

AI recommend WD40 and GT85 for lubrication of the trigger but not the rest of the rifle. and "Where the rifle is to be stored for a lengthy period or when in a corrosive atmosphere, a thin smear of oil should be left in the bore. Moisten a patch with CLP 16 oil and pass it once through the bore. (this must be removed before shooting)." and "Break free , CLP 16 , OX24 - Cleaner, lubricant & preservative - General cleaning and lubrication of the action and rifle exterior."

Out of interest what are AI barrels made from ? Squaddies are trained to clean stuff to a very high standard but theres not always the time and conditions can be very very poor as many of you will know , OX24 seems to work .

Over 700 by my calculations x £25 per pelt =£17500 , good money.

Not heard of that one myself , FAC newcomers I`ve known are often restricted to 17HMR and .22LR on private land unless with a mentor and even then .243w is the max centrefire allowed initially with a mentor , saying that I`ve also known a long time SGC holder get all restrictions lifted on his FAC after around a year by doing DSC1 , he`s also land owner which I think helped.

To be honest I`ve yet to meet anyone from firearms admin whos experienced enough to determine if land is safe to use centrefire firearms on , what may get you a quick answer is if you can quote someone who is already cleared to shoot that land with centrefire . You should get an open ticket after five years / on your first renewal , getting your DSC1 can speed things up.

Best in my cz452 which goes to show its worth trying 5-6 brands when you first get your .22lr.!

Try some RWS subs as well , you wont be disappointed in their performance , bit pricey though.

Thread resurrection! What .22 subs are you using , whats best for your rifle and how much? My CZ 452 is shooting best as follows: 1. RWS SUB SONIC 40gr - £6.50 PER 50 - sub 1" @50yds 2. Fiocchi Sub Sonic 40 gr £5.00 per 50 3. CCI HP Sub sonics 40gr £6.00 per 50 4.Winchester 42.gr £6.50 per 50 5. Eley Subsonics 38gr £6.50 - 2" groups at 50 yds

Badgers and peanut butter , now where have I heard about that before?

One could always buy it and then have a vote for independence , (Nicola loves this type of vote ) you couldn't lose

Bump.

Campaign medals were awarded to individuals who served in the First World War, who met the qualifications laid down for each medal. In general all those who saw service overseas were awarded a campaign medal, however not all individuals that have a medal card were actually entitled to a medal. The qualifications for each campaign medal are: The 1914-15 Star Established in December 1918. Also known as 'Pip'. This bronze medal was authorized in 1918. It is very similar to the 1914 Star but it was issued to a much wider range of recipients. Broadly speaking it was awarded to all who served in any theatre of war against Germany between 5th August 1914 and 31st December 1915, except those eligible for the 1914 Star. Similarly, those who received the Africa General Service Medal or the Sudan 1910 Medal were not eligible for the award. Like the 1914 Star, the 1914-15 Star was not awarded alone. The recipient had to have received the British War Medal and the Victory Medal. The reverse is plain with the recipient's service number, rank, name and unit impressed on it. An estimated 2.4 million of these medals were issued. The British War Medal, 1914-18 Established on 26th July 1919. Also known as 'Squeak'. The silver or bronze medal was awarded to officers and men of the British and Imperial Forces who either entered a theatre of war or entered service overseas between 5th August 1914 and 11th November 1918 inclusive. This was later extended to services in Russia, Siberia and some other areas in 1919 and 1920. Approximately 6.5 million British War Medals were issued. Approximately 6.4 million of these were the silver versions of this medal. Around 110,000 of a bronze version were issued mainly to Chinese, Maltese and Indian Labour Corps. The front (obv or obverse) of the medal depicts the head of George V. The recipient's service number, rank, name and unit was impressed on the rim. The Allied Victory Medal Also known as 'Wilfred' It was decided that each of the allies should each issue their own bronze victory medal with a similar design, similar equivalent wording and identical ribbon. The British medal was designed by W. McMillan. The front depicts a winged classical figure representing victory. Approximately 5.7 million victory medals were issued. Interestingly, eligibility for this medal was more restrictive and not everyone who received the British War Medal ('Squeak') also received the Victory Medal ('Wilfred'). However, in general, all recipients of 'Wilfred' also received 'Squeak' and all recipients of 'Pip' also received both 'Squeak' and 'Wilfred'. The recipient's service number, rank, name and unit was impressed on the rim WW1 medals had the soldiers name and number engraved on the rim.

I always find this era fascinating , if you want to know more about the regiments etc its worth asking on Arrse... https://www.arrse.co.uk/community/forums/military-history-and-militaria.52/

Ive got one hundred 150Gr Speer .308 Boat Tail SP and one hundred Speer 150 Gr FMJ Boat Tail bullet heads. Should these be good for paper punching at up to 600 yds in my Howa 1500 .308 , 20" barrel 1 in 10" twist ? or should I go for a heavier bullet?
