Easter Tinkering

Had a few days off so managed to squeeze in time to get the air tank properly installed. I also got hold of some new seat covers, and even though they are from ebay i am really happy with the quality and fit!!!!! I had a quick play in my Dads woods but couldn't go mad with the clicking CV joint on the front end, so had a clay shoot in the field instead :D

Hope you all had a god easter! ?

Sorry VX is a bit dirty! i am re-trimming the back with camo as soon as i get time!

Lookin' good!
Let me make sure I got this correct....you're apologizing for YOUR VX being dirty?...:goof: mud=crotchrocket !

I thought you made those seat covers outta the bedding you got a few weeks ago, no? :p Maybe you're saving that for the re-trimming project you mention? I see a pattern here.....:laugho:

Looking good James!

Those poor bluebells you crushed though :( Can I come and play too :bgwo:

What is that box that you've fitted the air stuff in? I had one of those and thought it was just something the previous owner cobbled up! Obviously not!

Cheers

It's what all the AV equipment came in (sat nav, CD changer etc) and i was going to throw it out but ended up putting it in the shed. Turns out a 2.5 gallon air tank, amplifier and compressor all fit in it quite nicely :D :D

I think you would like it over here. :D I thought you boys could only have scimitars and nunchucks in the UK? :laughing: And here you are with a 12 gauge? :_wtf:

I think they're allowed to own "sporting" long guns, but they have to be kept at a shooting club was my understanding.

Na, you can own shotguns and have them at home in a gun cabinet with a shot gun license. It is getting more difficult to get a shot gun license now though, and the auto in that picture has had the chamber 'clipped' so you can only ever have 3 shells in the gun at a time (same throughout the UK) you can also have rifles but no automatics and no pistols. Infact my Dad owns sevral pistols passed down from his Dad but they stay in Canada with his sister. Shame really!!

If you ever make it over here, you can come and shoot my Saiga 12 gauge. 10 round mags and a 20 round drum-o-fun! :D

Why is it so often that danger and fun go hand-in-hand? :laughing:

Yeah she's not bad too, she wants to be an assasin, lol !!! This is only the 410 as the 12 bore was a bit heavy for her (sore shoulder from work)

With the fan, i just took it out, got the fan off the motor and put half a ton of WD40, then some engine oil in the bearing and back of the motor :D did the trick!

Took me a moment to work out what you were talking about with 'the shackle' but now i got it !!! Yeah, that kinda works well :D

And yes, that's the nice thing about Saiga 12s. If you miss, just squeeze again!! :laughing:

I'm with you 1000% there, brother! 7.62 and 9mm is so damn pricey these days. It's painful to go out and plink with anything other than my 12 or .22. I really need to hang on to my ammo for the upcoming zombie apocalypse anyhow. :lauging:

For once I got in ahead of the game and stocked up on ammo when it was relatively cheap. For example, I have like 5000 rounds of 7.62x51 that I paid 18 cents/rd or less, which is less than half of what it takes to even reload these days.

5000 Rounds! You know, I think a Zombie apocalypse would last about 30 minutes here in the mid west.:rollo:

"Dad, you killed the zombie Flanders!" "Flanders was a zombie!?"

Meanwhile, back at the thread...:laughing:
(You remember the original topic...right?):smilewink

Tell Claire that she's already an assasin....every time I see her pic, especially when wielding firearms, a little piece of my cold black ol' heart dies...:deadgray:

And I hope you both know I'm just messin' about, Mr. Daniels & I are solving a full 1/3 of the worlds problems tonight...:smilewink

Well, in truth it is a lot more than I need, but if nothing else it is an investment... a few years ago I stumbled across a guy who needed money and was looking to sell his ammo stash, got 6400+ rounds of good .308 and .223 for $1200...last year I sold 1000 rounds of the .308 for $600. Good British Radway Green milsurp (to tie it back to the OP) BTW...
