I normally champion Fiocchi for there consistency, but I have had quite a few week sounding and feeling shots and powder fouled barrels lately. They still managed to break the clays though. Sent them an email weeks ago with no reply.

Shame to see you go. The world needs knowledgeable people with a sense of humour, toooo many people with a stick up their arse. I'm betting if we all met in person we'd get along and have a laugh. The world is a fractious old place at the moment.

I can only echo the praise for Teague's work. I had thin wall chokes and steel proofing done a couple of years ago, I think the turnaround time was 3 weeks. Do you use your barrel selector for different birds on a stand, if not you could get Teague to make the top barrel improved cylinder like...

I think it was someone's attempt at home loading cartridges, probably the same guy who tried to screw these chokes in.

Tried gluing this back together.

You can get parts hydro dipped or sprayed. Went a bit mad a few years ago and created this.

The bottle is well balanced and glides to the mouth. The opening is around 20 bore and the flavour finishes with a crisp bang. Can highly recommend.

I wouldn't put a heat mat in your cabinet, if the temperature outside of the cabinet is to low the heat will just cause more condensation. You are better off heating the entire loft ( not very economical at this time ). Slap a VP90 patch in the cabinet and leave the gun in a dry slip if you have...

I have stored my guns in the attic for years. Leave them in a dry slip if you can and use a Napier VP 90 patch every six months and hopefully this will help.

I have a Precision Fit Stock on my trap gun and a tsk on my sporter. Both are good, but you can get in trouble if you are not confident in fitting a gun to yourself. 

Its a funny old world,I have shot tens of thousands of Fblu cartridges and never had a problem, just goes to show how unquantifiable these problems are. Maybe it's how the vendor stores them. To be honest I have had very few dodgy cartridges over the years, might be luck or the small number of...

Friend had 2 strange misfires with Superfast plastic a couple of weekends ago. The lead rolled out the end of the barrel and welded itself to his forcing cone. I have had a few odd sounding reports and a lot of debris coming out of the barrels when using Superfast fibre. I have lost confidence...

There is one for sale on guntrader.

The interviews on the go shooting channel are brilliant.
