BMA UPDATES GUIDANCE TO GPS TO SUPPORT PROCESSING OF LICENCES November 22, 2016 On 15th November the British Medical Association (BMA) updated its guidance being provided to GPs. The originally guidance suggested that it would be acceptable for GPs to refuse to process renewals...

I'm out of here.

So after 93 replies to my enquiry, I have accurate information about one manufacturer, Longthorne, whose barrels are designed to be parallel to each other. Very interesting, but I want to know about other makes too. I'll go first. My MK38's 32" barrels are at 25mm centres at the blunt end and...

That was kinda my question at the start of all this!

Extract from Longthorne's website below: "Another significant benefit with Longthorne barrels is that they are parallel and, unlike converging barrels which often shoot apart after the point of convergence, our barrels ensure a consistent point of aim/point of impact." Further discussion...

Hurray! Now we're getting somewhere.  I am enjoying very much the evolution of this discussion, having almost given up the hope of my question being taken seriously.

Ah, now I get it, you live in gravity-free Glasgow. You sound like the perfect SNP supporter, high on hopeless dreams of never being brought down to earth.

I think it's a total cop-out for a manufacturer to state 60/40 as the POI, because of course every trap gun produces this, at some distance. If I was in the market for a new DTL gun, I might look for a gun designed to produce that POI at 25 yards with the bottom barrel, and say 30 yards with the...

I simply want to know the geometry of different manufacturers' trap barrels in relation to their ribs.

It has been my privilege to witness both Vigano and Ian Peel in action at OT, and I have tried to incorporate what I witnessed into my own shooting. RV won the British Open at East Yorkshire one year - I watched his method of mounting, then holding absolutely steady for 1-2 seconds before...

Thanks to everyone for their replies, I don't disagree with any of the comments made, but the main gist of my query remains unanswered. I hoped there would be more discussion on my bugbear that manufacturers (of non-adjustable shotguns) do not advertise the design setup of their barrels relative...

So the telescopic sight on my Miroku is a bad idea, then?

Thanks for the replies, guys, I understand each of your points and hats off to sporting shooters with all the different ranges involved there - nightmare! I would still like more discussion on the POI related to the different trap discipline ranges, though. Rifle shooters among you will...

Or to be more precise, loft in your barrels. This is a question I would dearly like an answer to, and if it has already been discussed in an earlier thread, I would be grateful for a link. It seems to me a lot of information is available on shotgun specification, but never an indication of how...

Hi Meerkat (imagining a shooter who struggles to keep his head on the stock?), Thurso to Oxford? You've certainly flown the nest! Or were you just working there for a while, guessing Dounreay? I'm from Kiltarlity, near Inverness, handy for Glenmoriston SG (formally Loch Ness Gun Club) and...
