  1. As a side note, this it the baffle system inside, holes ported full lentgh of the barrel.....
  2. How did your stock look after refinishing BenBhoy? Did you use stain and tru-oil?
  3. It really was a nightmare! Years ago I refinished a lot of stocks and getting the varnish off was a 10 min job with the stripper. Have they made it weaker?
  4. I took the chekering off as I thaught it looked crap. What do you guys think? Have I gone a bit too dark?
  5. So far 3 small coats of tru oil and a careful wire wool and a 4th coat it hasn't half taken in a lot of tru-oil! This is stage I'm at, at the moment......
  6. Next job was staining - I wanted it looking dark so took 3 coats of birchwood casey walnut stain.....
  7. I stripped the old varnish off - what a nightmare that was. New paint strippers are no way near as good as the old stuff. I used to put it on and within a minute it all bubbled off. (Its been years since i done a refinnish) This stuff I ended up leaving it wrapped up overnight in a rubble bag and it still diddnt touch it. I ended up having to spend hours scraping it off with a razor blade. After a good sanding I ended up at this stage.....
  8. Hi! I have a battered pedretti hushpower folding single barrel 20 bore. Great gun but the condition was annoying me so im giving it a tidy up. I took pics before and I'm half way through so I thaught I'd share my mini project with you! Let me know what you think, any tips appriciated......
  9. I use thermal spotter with a torch on the gun. I'm I doing it wrong lol.
  10. Cutting it back in now covid research stuff has slowed down.
  11. Are you on your annual Scotland trip?
  12. I don't know this gun but sounds like bolt probe seal?
  13. Maybe look at the diana stormrider? (£200 at kirklees guns brand new wood and synthetic) I got one to mess with, alraros regulated it and fitted a HW moderator - Its a fantastic little lightweight gun I bet it would be perfect.
  14. Here is a video clip of a badger I took the other night using the T-vision app with hik micro 10mm (budget kit really).....
  15. Awesome jimmy thermal is amazing isn't it! I use a hik micro 10mm it's a total game changer.

    6 bat boxs on left 2 bird boxs on the right blue tits where roosting in the 3 double chamber boxs on the left so I put a couple of bird boxs up to hopefully keep them out the bat boxs.

    Very true. The best bit is how she spoke to me like I was an idiot. It amazes me how anyone can go through life without realising.

    I once had a funny encounter too, I was at a campsite sat by the river with my bat detector on. A couple and 2 children walked past and stopped. He said are you checking for radiation? I said no, it's a bat detector. His wife laughed and said there's no bats in this country so I pointed at them and said what are they then? She and her 2 girls screamed and ran off lol.
