  1. BAT actions Rathdrum, can any explain?

    It's their address. Rathdrum, Idaho.
  2. Not another rifle thread ...

    That’s interesting, especially bearing in mind the sighting arrangement of the Luger. What size groups do you get from each?
  3. Not another rifle thread ...

    “It is the most accurate handgun that I have ever held in my hands or seen”. You've never seen a Swiss made 9mm SIG 210-6 then? ;)
  4. Cheshire FAC variation time - credit where it's due

    On Tuesday of last week I applied online for a variation to acquire an additional rifle. On Wednesday of last I sent my FAC via Royal Mail Special Delivery - it arrived at Cheshire Constabulary HQ the following day. On the following Monday (today as I write this) my FAC with variation arrived in...
  5. Webley & Scott 700 opinions

    Aging? Hardly, they only started making them in the 1950's.
  6. New Highland Calibre - What to go For

    Thanks for that definition of a term new to me. In the context of this thread what are the “certain guns”?
  7. New Highland Calibre - What to go For

    What is 'fuddery'?
  8. English rifle stock rigby style - grip cap or rounded pistol grip?

  9. Sold: Neck turning tool

    Any relatively simple neck turning tool worth having will use a turning mandrel in conjunction with an expander mandrel - both sized to suit the basic calibre (e.g. 6mm, 6.5mm etc). You need to specify what the calibre is as ideally the tool will come with suitable mandrels & a mandrel die so...
  10. RWS EVO GRENN, what type of gunpowder?

    Even if you discovered what it is in principle it wouldn’t be of benefit as ammunition manufacturers have access to bulk lots which can vary in burning speed etc from the outwardly similar power available to reloaders. The powder we buy is blended & tested to give lot to lot consistency whereas...
  11. Hello from Germany

    Welcome to the forum
  12. Gun licence fees going up again.

    Based on that form of argument the recent rises in our water bills could be said to be “pretty good”.
  13. How much does "Made in the UK" matter to you?

    I try to buy British, Commonwealth, European (in about that order) - where possible. For some reason, I now try to avoid USA made items - again, where possible.
  14. Interesting article about Manchester's last gun shop

    Stensby's used to be a 100 or so yards higher up Shudehill when I started going in the shop. They moved to the location shown in the article when the tram track was built (right through the old shop). Cheshire Gun Room bought the name but I wouldn’t be so sure they bought the stock.
