Hi y'all, Oops, just ripped the front sling attachment out of my 1717 stock by over-tightening the bipod. It's not definitely a write-off as I could repair it, but I just wondered if anyone knows of a decent synthetic and preferably tactical-ish stock for the 1717 cos I quite fancy a change. Cheers mick

Hiya. Need to source a new magazine & extension to FAC-upgrade my Remington 11-87, any suggestions as to best place to get these parts? If it's bad etiquette to post suppliers in the forums please PM me, thanks. Mick

This is relisted due to the original buyer failing to go through with the sale. For sale is my Leupold Vari-X IIc 3-9x50 scope in excellent condition. £160 + postage (tenner). It's located in Kingston upon Thames which is just a tad south west of London and easily reachable from the M25. Would be willing to travel a bit to meet you and close the deal. I would also be willing to post it once I receive funds. I have the original box (which has a couple of dings therefore is not in as good condition as the scope!), as well as the instruction manual, and Leupold duster. It

This is an interesting point. I don't 'need' one any more than I need any of my guns. Shooting's a bit of fun, a hobby for me, and if I go out for the day then I need a gun, in fact a variety of guns depending on what I'm going to shoot, but I don't need any of them for my survival or my livelihood. So in the sense that sometimes there are vast flocks of vermin overhead and I need to be able to shoot lots of them at once, yes I need one :-) But will my life be much worse if I don't get one? No, I don't need one in that sense. My FEO has said no problem. I'm gonna go for it,

Good point. I think I'll have a chat with my FEO and see what he reckons. Just didn't want to do that without getting a feel in here first. cheers Mick

Open FAC for years so hopefully no problem. Cheers Mick

I can feel a variation coming on, but I'd like to make sure I get it right. What's deemed 'good reason' for a section 1 (i.e. more than 2 rounds in the magazine and one up the stuffer... as you all know :-) ) shotgun? It's not very often I need shots 4 to 8 but when I do I curse, cos they ain't there. Would 'I need to be able to shoot more than 3 pigeons in quick succession without reloading' cover it? Do they put terms on your FAC? I mean, if I put that about the pigeons, will they put 'Pigeon control' on my FAC and then I can't shoot rabbits with that shotgun? Surely not.

PM SENT Sold to that man! So now to find that Hawke... --

Cheers! I'm near Kingston. I pine to move to the country but the wife doesn't. I've all but given up trying to convince her now. --

Hello all. Been lurking for quite a while here and enjoying the forums, just decided to register partly so I can post a for sale and wanted ad (looking for a scope swap!), but also looking forward to wading in to the discussions I shoot bunnies and pigeons and the occasional fox in Kent when I get the chance, which is not very often, and that's why I lost the huge farm I had permission for in Sussex to another shooter :-( Fair enough though, farmers don't generally want someone who only turns up once a month. So, I'm always on the lookout for land round the Surrey / Kent / Sussex areas w

For sale is my Leupold Vari-X IIc 3-9x50 scope in excellent condition. Ideally I'm looking to exchange for a Hawke Eclipse (see my post in the wanted section) but would also sell for, oooh I dunno, £160 or so. It's located in Kingston upon Thames which is just a tad south west of London and easily reachable from the M25. Would be willing to travel a bit to meet you and close the deal. I would also be willing to post it once I receive funds. I have the original box (which has a couple of dings therefore is not in as good condition as the scope!), as well as the instruction manu
