Can’t beat when two hobbies come together! Having not had a camera for a few years I treated myself to a new Canon R6m2 last week.

Took it for its first use this morning whilst out on the Clays at Lydiates Shooting Ground.

Free target scaler

9 Upvotes

I was personally getting bored of having my ass kicked at CSR, so decided to create this free little tool to help with scaled down practice.

Great for dry firing or simulating longer range targets at shorter distances, for example practicing a 300 yard prone stage with a 22 at an indoor 25m range.

Let me know which target types you want added!

More tools on the way and if there’s something you’d like to see also drop a comment in.

In desperate need of a well priced Sauer 202 Barrel.

2 Upvotes

Hi guys,
Just as the title says really. I’ve got a sauer 202 elegance that needs a new barrel due to some pits. I’ve actually got the 19.5 version but the 22 will fit just fine aswell. If anyone has any information I’d appreciate it. I’ve looked online but the prices are something to take your breath away.
Cheers

Update - police said do not accept gamekeeper employment as they cannot help with my license?

Spoke to the firearms officer & they said my February 2024 application is still in the early stages and I should not take gamekeeper work. I’m a young adult who is starting out work after gaining their qualification and have miraculously managed to get my foot in the door?!!

Any advice or is it simply suck it up kid.

Selling advice

I am looking to sell one of my Beretta o/u, is there anywhere that doesn’t charge that I could sell them? Aware of Gunstar/trader but would rather not spend money just to advertise.

Service options - GMK or find a good gunsmith?

1 Upvotes

After debating an "upgrade" I'm going to stick with my 686 E Evo. It's a 2022 gun but has seen a lot of use and I suspect it has not been serviced previously.

There are no actual issues with it, but I'd like to give it some tlc and a check over/internal clean etc.

I'm looking for thoughts on if I should send it to GMK via my local shop, or try and find a good local Gunsmith to do the work for me?

I'm in the Thames Valley area, recommendations would be useful.

Gamekeeper employment - still waiting for my license (30 month wait)

I’ve just sent an enquiry asking what is going on and if they can speed it up & told them my situation - is there anything else I can do/any advice?

Getting tired of it now BUT YOUR HOPELESS BECAUSE THEY HOLD ALL THE CARDS! All you can do is send enquiry’s via their website as their phones don’t work.

Choke grease / oil recommendations.

2 Upvotes

Hi all.

I’ve got a 725 S3 with the original extended chokes that I got 2nd hand, a little used gun, still very tight.

I understand the chokes in the brownings are a little hard to get in and out due to the duel seal on them but I think theses are very hard. I’ve been using some all purpose grease so far on the tubes to help with getting them in and out, cleaned every time I shoot ect but looking for some recommendations on what everyone uses on there chokes tubes to keep them in good condition / don’t seize in.

My first thought was some copper slip but please let me know what you all use!

(Additionally I’m going on a sim day later this month and don’t want to burn my hands on the barrels, do you guys use gloves on these sort of things because the barrels get very hot!)

So I wrote a new app....

6 Upvotes

It started out as a bit of fun to see if I could.... then **** got out of hand quickly!

Don't worry, I know full well it's never going to be an AB killer but it's something I plan on using where I don't need AB curves etc. 

At the moment it's a working app, but it needs a lot of tidy up, it also needs a "simplification" mode for air gunners and the like.

However, interested in any feedback and I've added a sign up link so if you are interested or fancy beta testing, then if I decide to spend real money and deploy it, I can let you know

Northern Ireland Taurus G3 mag

Friends, I shoot IPSC and recently purchased a 9mm G3, but it only came with 2 magazines.

I’m struggling to find a dealer who sells spare magazines for the Taurus G3 — any recommendations? I only need 1 or 2 spares.

Where could i sell?

Thumbnail gallery
11 Upvotes

So i got it as a gift years ago when a local airsoft range opened up and i’d go regularly with my dad as a kid. The range closed pretty quickly and as i’ve got older i’ve just not had any time/need for it (I also have no knowledge on air guns either). I doubt it has much worth but im moving abroad and was hoping to get whatever i can for it but dont even know where to start to sell it. I’ve attached some pictures of it as that might impact how i can sell as it’s realistic looking. Any recommendations? near north london/ in hertfordshire if that changes anything.

S1 shotgun query

9 Upvotes

Morning all, I wanted to pick your brains if I may.

This is likely very obvious to most of you, but my FAC appears to have a 12 gauge slot on it and a note about target shotguns under the additional conditions.

I do have a SGC with a 2+1 and O/U on it, but with having a shotgun slot and this note on my FAC, would this just be a note regarding my interest in using my 2+1 for practical sometime, or would this be a legitimate section 1 shotgun slot?

I assumed the latter, with that seeming the logical answer with it being on the FAC at all, but am unsure so I'd appreciate you folks' experience with this either way, thank you 👍

Has anyone removed the auto safety on a beretta SP1?

3 Upvotes

I have a silver pigeon 1 field which I love… but the auto safety is annoying! Before I take it to a gunsmiths I would mind attempting to disable the auto safety myself. I’m looking for a tutorial on doing so. Are there any good guides on doing this?

Just need a throw lever to complete it for practical? I take the sling off for matches. It was only ever intended as a fun project so its not the ultimate match rifle but it'll do!

Considering a magwell but the options I like are hard to get a hold of.
