I've got a 500 and it's pretty much a no thrills pump action, theres not much that can really go wrong on one. The only down side is that the forend are loose straight out of the factory and can rattle while your walking up on a rabbit, they say this is so you can still work the slide while it's caked in mud tho. Theres quite a few after market accessories for mossberg. I got a side saddle that holds 6 cartridges on the side of mine, Ideal in summer when your in shorts and tshirt and don't want to load you pockets with cartridges.

I work on a garden nursery and can assure you they do. Rabbits teath never stop growing so they wear them down by gnawing everything insight That will be oversize rats :laugh:, rabbits are not well known for gnawing fruit trees, only small ones or saplings perhaps, I do work for a BIG Plant nursery keeping down their rabbit population, they very rarely cause any issue to trees/fruit trees but a lot to the plants and shrubs! I usualy only deal with the tree side of the nursery tbh, we do alot of hedging and ornamental trees which are just planted in a field bordering a wood and I have to

Thanks guys, I just wanted to know if letting a regular policeman access to my guns could come back at me, and having the TV licensing man jump through a few more hoops would of been a bonus Yes, alot of modern technology. Computer(no TV card installed) PS3, laptop, Bluray/DVD player, mobile phone, Internet Access. The law says that I cannot have any equipment installed or used to acces live Broadcasts, which I don't, but TV licensing would insist I do if a policeman wasn't there.

lol don't worry mate if he gets arsey the jimmy saville card will defently be getting played.

Yes I'm aware of that, they would have to have a police man accompany them around my house. But does that give the policeman the right to check my cabinet without a firearms officer?
-
So I don't have a TV so I'm automaticly branded a criminal in the eyes of TV licensing and have been threatened with a search warrant I take it that even with a warrant they cannot gain access to my guns without a Firearms officer being there, but how do you know they are a firearms officer or not?
-
I can't answer that, but personly i'd have it re-proofed just incase. Dan, if i was you I'd just invest in a second gun unless you can deal with a open choke, a single or double barrel gun is about 4" shorter than a pump or semi with the same length barrel. another thought is if its a mossberg you might even find a spare barrel.

just checked preloved.com £600 for 1 with a cage, your in the wrong business

you might not of got owt but you'll aways remember nigts like that.

I thought one of the murders were carried out with an illegal shotgun, and the other one already had a section 1 anyway. I fail to see how this would of helped prevent either

HW45 is highly rated in .22, never used mine for rats but makes short work of baked bean tins =)

whats this all about????????
wakey87 replied to steven price's topic in Rimfire, Centrefire & Shotguns
most forums have them, its just away to eventualy ban people that make trouble but never seem to warrant a ban outright. dont worry about it, you should get a pm telling you what you'v done wrong if anything. -
How to clean melted plastic wad from barrel?
wakey87 replied to nessie122's topic in Rimfire, Centrefire & Shotguns
there was a article about plastic fouling in this months issue of 'Sporting Gun' it recomends using "hoppes no.9 rifle barrel cleaner" when plastic fouling is present but says it is designed for metallic fouling and will attack your bronze brush so make sure to wash it afterwords. -
lol those are great ideas but for those people not living in compton or watts, a squirt or two of bore cleaner on a brass brush and a couple of run throughs with a patch till it comes out fairly clean does a good job you rip off (*reads box) 8" or there about of material slide through the slit of the jag and then rap it round. the slit is simply there to stop the patch sliding off when you push it through. after turning the patch round and using a couple more strips it should come out clean (or as close as possable) I usualy leave it there but (*reads box) it recomends running thr

I may be mistaken but it looks like there are some on guntrader that have a shortend barrel and permanent sound moderator fitted, i take it you dont need a sound moderator on your ticket if its permanent? http://www.guntrader.co.uk/GunsForSale/100413150141007 [edit] on second thought it might just be a barrel length issue regardin "uk law" :dunno:
-
it is a disgrace the cops lost the suspect and amogst other things, the worst of it is, they were not readily able to deal with the problem. if a police officer cannot protect you from a gunman yet they take away your right to defend yourself then youv got a big problem. maybe when they are able to stop people like this we might be able to get back the guns and sports we have lost.

Brainwashed and overpopulated :wallbash: i dont think they'll help the former much, but if you want to reduce the population a national party has just the record

looking at the posts it looks like the BNP are winning what has this country become
-
its a one horse race as far as im concerned. but i'm just going put a cross by labor so they defently dont get in
-
I wouldn't worry bout it, but if you havta dry fire I dont recomend using spent cartridges. the firing pin will eventualy peirce the primer and that could cause you to be unable to open the gun in a SS or OU [edit] or atleast cause damage to the firing pins.

177 or 22 for hunting
wakey87 replied to paulredtop's topic in Rifle Reviews, Technical Help and Tips
for rabbits my favourite calibre was .177 because of the flat trajectory and the need for a headshot IMO puts the .22 at a disadvantage. for pigeons and other vermin where a headshot isn't vital then its .22 hands down.
