I shot the laser dot spud out of a .223 rifle I was sighting in. The one lying on the bench, and thought was the one I'd used and removed, was a different calibre.......

Not only is it a rarity for its own sake, it's a rarity in EVERY sense of the word! 'MADE IN ENGLAND'!

The Beyer-Garratt is r/c live steam gas-fired - scale is 16mm to the foot - 1/19th if you're picky. It's modelled on #130, one of five similar locos that runs on the Welsh Highland Railway from Porthmadog to Caernarvon in North Wales. Since I have 45mm gauge track for everything I run, the...

Given the habits of our local travelling community who, having stolen much of our underground telephone cables, 'go up in the world' and steal the lead from our church roofs, I would likely have joined them.

I've given up trying to figure out what goes through the minds of vandals like this, or arsonists, or hackers - in fact, anybody who does malicious things to objects that give most of us great pleasure. It was different, not so long ago. A youngster would see a a beautiful car, and might say...

Yes. I had around 200 short vids on YT about trains, another 250 about guns and a few on cars. One day they all disappeared - just like th

I have the left-hand adjustable grip on my old 604.

Diana Model 16, sometime is the late 50's. It had been repaired by screwing a metal plate to each side of the forend of the stock. It weighed about ten pounds. Well, to ME it did.

The No5 is rumoured to have a 'wandering zero'. It may or may not be true. Be happy with your 4" 100 yard group. For ANY No5, that's about as good as it will ever get.

What license? Fill out Federal Form 4473 for firearms transactions. At an FFL. Provide your state driving licence as ID. And AMEX card. Oh, wait, that's for a REAL firearm that fires cartridges........ Airgun? Walk in and buy, so long as you are over 21.

I could not agree more. I 'found' a Model 1407 Anschutz in our club - it was going to get sent for scrap but I bought it for £25. No sights though. So I pushed the dust bunny out of the barrel, put the sights from my Walther LG55 on it, and shot this five-shot group at 25 yards. These days...

The very first Lancia Beta coupé we ever saw was in Cambridge. It was tobacco brown, but still managed to look good. I fell in love with it, but then got a posting to Germany, where they were as popular with the local as dog poo on a bun. We lived in Rheindahlen, and the WO2 living opposite...

Good luck and straight shooting to all competitors!

Air rifle bench rest requires using a high magnification scope to even begin to keep up! I had a T36 Weaver on my Feinwerkbau pcp until I got made a VERY generous offer for both of them. That was a few years back, and since then there have been many improvements made to what I would call...

If so, he must first join a club and serve his probie time.

Please tell me about your Swiss Mauser. I've never seen one since I began shooting Swiss rifles in 1962. Perhaps you mean Swedish Mauser?
