    The problem is , its not so much the scammers selling on the sales, as them answering the wanted's, as the most recent ones have been,  and I think that would be very difficult or impractical to police?  it would involve new members being banned from replying to wanted's, or PM'ing,  before they have done thread contributions, is that possible or practical? 
    When you sort that, can you stop me being phoned 5 times a day with scamms!
    Take care and Have fun

    Dear Mike I contacted my bank who said they could not help as they were legally bound to make the payment on my behalf even though they agreed that this was very likely a scam. I contacted Paypal and they were only interested in me paying them. Basically nothing could be done to save my money. I then went onto https://www.actionfraud.police.uk and reported the incident and all the email addresses. My only hope now is that no one else gets caught by this person. I need to move on and write this off as a lesson learnt, or I will just end up being bitter, Carpe Diem.

    I am ashamed to say I got scammed for £280 for a Malberg twin post scope that I really wanted that never existed. The scammer preys on our desires and we fail to see the whole picture. We want to believe it's true. I was emailed by Mike 112 telling me that Carter Klaus has a scope I am looking for and to contact carterklaus420@gmail.com to follow up. I did this and duly transferred the monies using PayPay friends and family. Big mistake he knows I had no recourse using this method and told me he couldn't get the money using goods and services. The idiot I am I fell for it hook line and sinker. There are some right scumbags out there and this chap is one of them. I wish I had done more research, I'm kicking myself now but such is life, these guys are experts at what they do. The other email address he uses are: Eddii Shaban at aliuedison123@gmail.com and majani investment at samungi50@yahoo.com
    As painful and expensive as this experience has been, I hope that by putting this online I may help someone else from getting caught out and hurt.

    jonty reacted to tim s in for sale gemini stock [left handed] for .22 walther   
    I'm not a potential buyer, but you may get more interest if you state a price and where you are. It would also help to state which Walther the stock was made for: KKM, KK200/300,or KK500? Is the stock the FR703 or the older Ultra, as Nibbs has made both for KK300s? Is a buttplate included?

    An 1813 foresight won't fit a 1907. The dovetail in the 1813 is too deep and narrow at the base. The rearsight dovetail is identical though.

    John, 
    I think G&E stocks are machined for G&E actions, but they sell adaptors for round actions. Hopefully the combination of an alu stock and ultra-short action should be balance well.

    Neil, a few months isn't a long time to be shooting with a club rifle. Unless there's some major defect with the club rifle or no rifle is available that is a remotely good fit for her then she'd be as well continuing with a club gun and investing in a well fitting shooting jacket if she is serious about keeping up the sport. 
    Particularly if her average is "creeping into the 90s", there's no need to have your own rifle at that stage and having something entirely adjustable may well prove to be a hindrance rather than a help.

    jonty reacted to Davy in BSA MK1 extractor claw wanted   
    Omega1, please do not scrap the rifle off as they are great little things and deserve to be shot as often as possible.  I managed to find an extractor for a Mk1 earlier this year so they do exist however they are pricey, from memory the last one was GBP60.00 plus some shipping. If you want to me to try and track down a spare please give me a shout.

    Sorry guys, but I know Jason well and don't feel comfortable (implicitly) promoting what looks to be a copy of his design and that he relies upon to contribute towards his income.
    Don't you think that the rifle manufacturers would have made their own instead of going to Lowe products if they could (at least morally)?
    Topic closed, and link removed.
    Housey, it's up to you how you wish to proceed out with the forum but I've received complaints from a few sources and I'm afraid cannot allow the forum to continue to promote what may well be a patent infringement. Sorry if that seems harsh but at the end of the day, I run this forum for everyone, for free and whilst I explicitly state that content is the responsibility of the poster, and that I accept no liability, it would be remiss of me to turn a blind eye here.
    All the best

    Peter, the forum has been running for 16yrs, and when it was first started there were a number of people trying to join and advertise rubbish which was nothing to do with shooting. So yes, I put in the sign-up phase to try keep it to genuine shooting enthusiasts.

    And, more than likely, a foresight, handstop, buttplate etc. If not, the negotiate the price.

    £50-£60 sounds about right for a 6702. However, I wouldnt advise buying one when it is more than likely that when you get your first rifle, it will probably come with a rear sight.
