    I think there is little doubt that I will be having a bit of a sort out. Phil

    What a lovely stock to start with but now after Jimmy has cast his fairy dust over it, just stunning, simply stunning. Phil

    I have been offered a cocker spaniel Mark, a Crufts champion no less, broke a tooth so no more showing but at 5 years old, a little old to start training I think despite the fact that it is free. It is difficult to explain Mark but the cottage sticks into the field on 3 sides with 3' walls and the drive sweeps into the rear patio with no gate or fence. The cost of installing a suitable fence and gates run into a few grand because the last thing I want is not to be able to look across the field with a high fence so we are talking custom made wrought iron or similar and to be honest, is it w

    Or put it on the Wildcat, plenty of shots per fill, just right for a night's ratting. Phil

    I popped into my local RFD today for a coffee while I was in Scunthorpe and told him what we were thinking of doing, he smiled, then disappeared in the back and came out with this. £50 which is spot on. I have not bought it yet as we are as a matter of interest going to see what sort of deals are on offer if he can trade in for a gun with adjustable stock but at least we have one stashed if that is the route we are taking. Thanks for looking out chaps. Phil

    Thank you very much Simon. We were going to leave things for a while but to be honest, the house seems empty without any cats so we are trying to sort a couple of young cats and kittens from a rescue centre but we are not the only ones wanting these particular cats so it is a waiting game. Trish, my wife, has been really down since the loss of Sylvie and with Christmas coming up, it would be wonderful if we can them for the holiday period as it will lift all our spirits. Fingers crossed Phil

    I agree John, this time of the year, money is always tight with everyone's budget being stretched. A good time to buy but not to sell. I think I may be onto a stock at a good price..........fingers crossed Phil

    Nice to get out Steg, I am stir crazy at the moment and sooooo wanting to be off with the gun. Today..................booked the range for the day to zero 4 guns as they have all had scope changes and two have not been tried at any distance. A phone call from my son in law telling me that the garage will be closed for new ramps fitting after today and as my car needed MOT testing next week, it had to be done today or go somewhere else. I didn't want to find another garage and after a night of -6 degrees, it was perhaps a better bet to give it a miss......................ice on the inside o

    Interesting topic. So far, I have not set my guns to a given pressure for storage but as I now have a few more which may not get used through the winter, perhaps it needs some thought. Had this topic not come up, I would have left them at whatever pressure they were left at. It is however unlikely, now that I think about it, that they will not be used even if only at the indoor range or outdoor range, depending on how cold it is so I doubt that any of them will just sit unused for the winter period.

    Thanks John It is just too much for him at the moment, for a little more than that he could possibly part ex the gun for another with lower stock. I have had a PM from a guy in Devon who can change this stock into an adjustable stock for £60 but it will still need to be reduced in height. We will just wait and see what comes up over the next few days and then see what we have available,it is always tricky spending someone else's money but I feel we will find a solution sooner or later and I am going to take his gun to the RFD to see just what would be a part ex value so he can at least

    I think I might be able to find one less than that to be honest and it doesn't matter if the stock is a bit naff because it will be hacked about until it is where it needs to be. Thanks for pointing it out though Jon. Phil.

    Thanks Jimmy. Allow me to explain. My son in law used to shoot my HW100 with no problem and wanted a rifle himself so my daughter bought him an AAS410 last Christmas but he uses it rarely. Now after talking to him, I had forgotten that he had an accident to his right eye that left him with blurred vision in that eye. He is right handed and can shoot shotguns with no problem because both eyes are open. The comb height on the HW allowed him to place his head low enough to look through the scope with his left eye and shot very well this way but as the comb on the AA stock is very high, he ca

    Do you mean me David, if so I'm Phil, not John but if you are asking me, then here they are imported from Malmo Guns http://www.malmoguns.com/gun-listings/?fwp_search=eos The one in the photo is centre bottom http://www.malmoguns.com/gun-listings/?fwp_search=eos&fwp_paged=4 Phil

    I think you might be right there David. The gun at the top is a Berretta DT10,32'' sporter without the extended chokes in. Next one down is a gun I suspect you have never heard of called a Redolfi EOS 30'' sporter. It is an Italian gun maker who for years made high grade guns and barrels for other makers but have now made guns in their own name, superb gun, very fast handling, my wife's pride and joy. Phil

    I bought another gun cabinet for 6 guns the other week so I could keep my guns downstairs and my wife's gun and a friend's gun upstairs out of the way plus I have another shotty in the RFD up for sale so things were getting a little tight. I think I have what is known as'musthaveagunitis' but is there a cure, my god I find myself planning for what I am going to get next year, thank god my state pension kicks in on New Years Day.............................65, who wud av thunk it.................. Oh sod it, you only live once or do we !!!! Phil

    In the garage Rez...........................................BAD LAD I basically don't take the guns out if it is raining so not an issue but if they become wet while out, wipe off excess before putting back in the sleeve until I get home. When home, I take the stock off and allow to dry at room temperature near a radiator with the action open after taking surplus off with kitchen roll. Why take the stock off, many years ago, I had water get into a shotgun action causing rust so now I don't take the chance and you just don't know how much moisture there is between the stock and metal .

    Firstly, welcome aboard. I can honestly say that I am totally rubbish at mechanical things so I cannot help you at all but I an guessing that someone will be along who could advise. I wish you well with your problem. but if you don't want to strip the gun down, taking it in to an RFD is your best course of action. Phil
