It seems that here in the UK the Health and Safety folks have decreed that lead is unsafe to use for wheel weights. I tried to get some a while ago and was told that even if they had any they were not allowed to sell it even. It had to go for "Approved" disposal :roll: Will pop into the sc...

Hi All,

Another is from Collector grade publications which is titled:-

Orignal Obendorf Sporting rifles

Which has quite a bit about the different Mauser military rifles and their development. Again not cheap but a good book with some wonderful factory information and photos.

Hi All, Well I arrived after a longish drive (4 hours) at 09:15 Saturday morning and went to look for the folks I needed to see. When I found John it seems he forgot to bring my sheaf down so a wasted trip for that one. I did however find a new set of RCBS dies with shell holder included in .243 for...

Errr what's football? Soccer? Rugby I know that there is two sets of rules but couldn't tell you difference. As you may tell I have no interest in either game. Oh it's not sport, Hunting is a sport as is fishing and Horse Racing. Fottball/soccer call it what you will, Rugby, Cricket are games not sp...

Hi All, Although not shooting I will be wandering about however J-D my Staffordshire will not be with me as I now have a cross breed and taking both and imposing on friends for overnight accomodation is pushing things too far since my move north. I have a couple of things to pick up from the trade s...

Hmmm strange, I will look into it. Well I have now read them but to do so I had to go to my service providers Home page then my e-mail account. For some reason Outlook Express is not collecting them.
