So, My AR arrives (24hour turn round for £9.99 and no fee from the RFD at my end - result !!!) Un-boxing (it doesn't include any tools or cleaning kit), but it has a nice heft and no rattles. Cut a few feet of line of the garden strimmer and pinch some J-cloths from the kitchen when the missus isn't looking and voila. Ahhh gun oil and newly machined steel it's up there with: The smell of a good Cuban cigar; The taste of a single malt; The sound of a diesel at full chat. Nurse I'm ready for my medication now... Anyhow I have about 6000 pellets from various suppliers H&N, Bi

Dai, Point taken. I lived in Pembrokeshire for 11 years, great place for a shoot. Billy Fish

Why is that Dai ?

Hi, As a newbie I have just ordered a Baikal IZH-61 1.77 multi shot for "plinking" to get my eye in. I was also after the 46M target pistol, but they are out of stock. The nice people at the Sportsman Gun Centre in Exeter tell me that they have a pallet of guns in Russia awaiting shipping, but there is an embargo to the West on imports. Baiakal or to be more precise Izhevsky Mekhanichesky Zavod is a Russian state military arms manufacturer of long standing and have the the Moison Nagant, AK47 and AKM in their pedigree. So I am expecting a good solid piece of kit. Kind regards

David, A blast from the past. This was my third AR given to me in 1966, for a teenager it had quite a kick !! Billy Fish

Hi, Just joined. I gave up my shotgun Licence some years ago when the world was getting fraught (although It's getting worse) !! I am thinking of taking up an air rifle as a way of getting back into shooting. Billly Fish
