I'm dubious about these DIY fixes. You never know how its going to affect the mod itself as well. Stick to proven methods is my advise.

If you leave it long enough, the crap starts to attach instead of just wiping off. I've found a quick squirt of VP90 and a hard bristle brush gets the most stubborn of shit off.

Yes. Take it off the rifle and then remove the end cap. The sak mods are made of 3 components. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v76/rapidboy1/guns/DSC00016-1.jpg The end cap, sleeve and baffles. Use a tooth brush to get the crap from between the baffles. I would open it up over a towel as a load of powder and crap will fall out if you've put loads of rounds through it. They recommend cleaning it every 1000 rounds, but I probably do mine every 400-500 rounds.

Pahahahahaha. I read that as borders like edge of land because I didnt really understand his sentence. Feeling a bit like a tit now.

Have a read here for a few opinions on borders. http://www.thehuntinglife.com/forums/topic/310636-roadside-ferreting/?fromsearch=1 Some of the comments are relevant. Atb, BB

yes you will need to wash it afterwards to get rid of the smell Currently sitting in some Meth now. Will let you guys know how I get on.

Will purple meths work well enough? Or will the purple dye discolour the tail? I want to get this one right as it's a really nice brush.

Aye. The guys on the hunt yard near me (my missus works there as a groom) are S.5 firearms holders and the conditions on their certs actually read something along the lines that a pistol may only be held whilst in employment of the hunt yard and if employment is terminated, as is the license. Its all legislation to do with being obvious when you are carrying a weapon. Its the same reason weapons must have a certain barrel and overall length. Its to prevent concealment. A pistol is easily concealed, making a bank heist more easy.

I've got a lovely thick brush sitting my freezer that I want to preserve and hang with my hunting plates on the wall. I've done a good bit of reading on it and found people are suggesting methylated spirits to preserve it, but are they using purple meth, and does this not affect the colouring? Secondly, once "methed", is it done? I would shampoo it to rinse the meth off, but does anybody salt the inside or stuff it? I'll probably stuff some cotton wool down there to make it a bit more rigid, and then sew the top shut with a looped piece of nice twine to hang it from. Does this sound about

I use shavings. Its not dust free, but find that because its thick, its not dusty anyway. Sawdust will be dusty unless you buy pet specific dust free, and they charge you for the privilage. Go to your nearest stables and ask to a] buy a bail or two (will last 6 months) or b] ask where they buy theirs from and go there. I probably spend 20-25 quid a year on ferret bedding and the same again on ferret food from the pet shop. The rest of the food is rabbit/carcasses.

£18.00 a year is a bargain as it will cover you for all the things that can go wrong. The railway insurance will cover you for the correct insurance to be on there property ie if you caused the railway bank to collapse from digging a ferret out just think of the cost to you if you had to pay to put it back etc etc etc ( £18.00 costs you more for a round of drinks ) ATB Baz Yeah, but the railway insurance is only going to cover him for railways. If he pays the extra 4 quid or whatever it is, he's covered everywhere and can use that to gain permission (I know I do!). I wouldnt bothe

Scottish Association for Conservation and Shooting. Although its scottish, you dont have to be scottish. Its a world wide company, just based in Scotland.

BASC, but I shoot. I dont need insurance for ferreting tbh. If SACS cover for ferreting, I would use them as they cover shooting too. Quote the hunting life and they give a discount at the moment (I know its between certain times of the year. I would have thought one of the SAC members could answer). Atb, BB

I had a similar problem with 3 big hobs I got from an auction. All 3 were huge and I mean almost as big as cats and nasty as hell. Anyway I thought I could tame the beasts and find them nice pet homes. Basically as long as all 3 were together picking them up was hard work but the second I split all 3 litter brothers up there seemed to be a Sudden change and all 3 turned out nice. Maybe due to them being with my tame ferrets possible just because they had been split up. Maybe if you give this a try for a week if you can it may help. If you do id be interested to see what happens just incase it

To be fair, if you can get naked pictures of your sister too, you'll get some more brownie points.

The Proof Is In The Results!

Long term supplier of my local butchers. He always has a demand for them. Sells more than I shoot, so he's happy to take all. We have an agreement that any that are too bad to sell, I buy back for the same price and while I'm in the shop I cut the meat off and mince it all for my own use. -
So I've spent a few years ferreting, shooting and generally controlling the rabbits on one large bit of permission... Until recently. It appeared I had hammered numbers (there were loads when I first got it) and it was short of sport. Time to chase new permo. After all, anyone who tells you it isn't all about numbers is lying. Pigeon shooting isn't pigeon shooting with out the pigeons, so rabbit shooting isn't without rabbits. Anyway, a few saturdays ago, I did the old door knocking and got about 200 acres of mixed livery yard, and arable fields for one farm, 250 acres of similar a few mi

Remington are similar in the fact there slightly harder than the rest Forgot all about the remmy's to be honest. I here alot of people saying about shooting with a .17 at 100+ yards, but imo the .22 is the perfect tool for rabbits. It can shoot in tighter spots than the .17, despite the ricochets, and the rounds are way cheaper, doesnt destroy the meat and I maintain that while the .17 can shoot at 130 yards, I can shoot comfortably all day long at yards and still head shot, which is plenty, especially if walking land.

I do recommend trying the mag techs. I compared a load of rounds on some clay blocks (more by curiousity of different rounds to be honest) and the mag techs have just as much penetration, but have a huge amount of pressure compared to the others. I regularly pop eye balls on my rabbits, which I don't see with eleys or Winchesters. Of course, if you head shot every shot, it makes no difference, but for those accidental gut shots, I find it still stops them out right.
