It's funny how the most experienced shooters come up with the best advice. Now how does that work I wonder? Great answer Les53.   :smile:

Why? The hardeners are supposed to make the oil go, well, hard! Raw oil will stay in it's original state, effectively soaking into the timber, just like your gun oil will do if you over do it, and we all know the problems that can cause. (Yes, it starts off a thread on whether to store your gun...

You have a point, which explains a lot!  :(

You have answered your own question.  :wink: "If it does the job right and you are happy with it" Then stick with it. If, however, you believe there is a better cartridge to be found, and the one you are using is lacking somehow, then change it until you find one that "Does the job right and...

Feeling the slightly damp, but warm, glow from my Labrador (you know, when they look like they're steaming!) when he cuddles up to me in the back of my truck after a good days picking up, with that look in his eye that says "Thanks Dad, I really had some fun today" Also returning late from a...

Sounds like a Masonic Conspiracy to me??

Not up on Cocker pedigrees I must admit, but I am aware of Ian Openshaw of course and the Rytex name. A Cocker from Scotland you say? Now that would be one small dog with a big chip on it's shoulder and a hell of an attitude wouldn't it? Too much for me to contemplate. (Only joking James, but...

I've just read thorough all this and now I feel sorry for Rosso in a strange sort of way. He does have a valid point, and it reminds me of the person stopped at a red light that's not paying attention when it turns to green, then gets all up tight when you gently remind them when it's time to...

Peter, your liking for Miroku is well documented and reaches far and wide.  :smile: I like this gun of mine and do not want to sell it, but if it proves unusable then there is no point persevering with it. I had not weighed it before I started adding weight, but with the 9oz inserted it comes...

I have a feeling I'll be looking at Puppies very soon!  :wink:

I bought a new Miroku Mk38 Gd 5 Teague Sporter last year after years of shooting Berettas, just to see if I could adapt to the change and see what all the fuss was about. It's a lovely looking gun, well made but has it's drawbacks when you compare it to the Beretta range (That bloody Trap Door...

Is that the Westcountry Only Model? A bit like the Ooarr Rizzini?

That's just beautiful! I've seen worse dogs under less control being paid to work on large commercial shoots. I guess you are an old hand at this, and this is your latest dog? I love that little dog too and your posts on her progress. I'm used to Labs, but that one is so fast and busy...

I couldn't even get my wife to do that without protest! Well done. :smile:
