I gather the army was responsible for maintaining the firearms in uk, In other words they were pro guns and shotguns you could buy over the counter. And just a police formality to buy pistols and rifles However Parliament do gooders decided the home office should be responsible for...

I got this Scottish 577 with a 36” barrel anyway , shame it has to be a wall hanger in uk.

From all the “life below zero” programs big game is getting shot out in many parts of Alaska , no of the programs show muzzle loading hunting.

And no it was Junkers the banker who stood up and said “England will do what it’s told”. Seems an unelected German will take over from junkers At 81 I say good riddance to the EU However my kids are Europeans . My ancestors come from France 1160. I drive a French Rapido Motorhome ...

I have been with Marsden fighting cancer since 2018 probably best in the world.

It’s still a green and pleasant land , but cold and wet though. I did not like the EU politics , and “ England will do what it’s told” I voted leave. The EU is the looser Sorry to loose the freedom to live in France , but equally we can have more say over our borders and immigrants. No...

Think about the weight of that barrel , I bid £440 then cancelled it . I have some original Bess locks that might fit . I buy too much crap anyway to do up , But decent guns are always £800 plus. It’s too far away to view some 200 miles

I have shall we say re rifled an 1830 •600 bore barrel . A cape rifle to be exact, You do need some sort of riffling to start, and the bigger bore helps I made a tube with a brass 1/2” long lug soldered to it . So it would run up and down the rusty worn out groves twisting the tube as it...

I have been fighting it since 2006 , horrible I know. I wish her well , nothing more I can say .❤️❤️❤️❤️

Now I shot a big male squirrel raiding the bird feeder at 20 yards , well the photo shows it with my 12g ml double. But in truth I used a 22 pcp unmentionable , I try to be honest, I have no police licence at 81 to use real guns . One has to make the best of things in uk. I was going to eat...

I should have read the whole string on this Rielly , shall we say Rielly club , the walnut on the shotgun , french of course, is to die for, beautiful, far better than most Purdey guns I have handled All I can say is BEAUTIFULL. 😍😍😍😍

My dear friend and 14 year old son are off to Brisbane on 16th , very envious , staying with mums sister. How long ???? He wants to see mangrove swamps, ok for mud crabs but too many nasty things around . Safer in WA a barren land as you go north , if you ask me, cold and wet if you go south...

I mentioned a Feldstutzer previously , you guys will say what is that Well around 1848 the Swiss wanted a new military rifle and by 1851 it was in production , there’s a couple of clips on utube. Mine is 12.4mm bore and was private purchase, so had some extras. Like two notches on the...

I love WA but no hogs like that, I hear of goats and wild dogs, but never seen any from Bumbry to Exmouth , last time we never went further north as we smashed the car up on its way to mt Augusta . I was disappointed in the gun shop too . All .222 and unmentionable guns WA is a bit like the uk...

I wish there was more on set triggers

Well not quite muzzle loading , I made a pig sticker bayonet for my 1851 Feldstutzer. Swiss and it was happy on the wall , yesterday I hanging another gun on the wall and got speared just like a pig . Actually it did not hurt. Ha ha. Some of the guns are rebuilt relics only a few are of any...

Thank you smo for your kind words, I got the unused .36 double at Holts London auction , then 2 years later , some old unused 28g cartridge barrels came up, managed to convert them to muzzle loading and they actually fitted. Not shot them yet. It’s obviously a very well made reproduction...

I live in the UK and have never shot a deer , just the way it is in this green and pleasant land , plenty of road kill on some country roads, most I have seen are bloated , no thanks
