  1. The Forfar website has a link to the forum on the front page... :)

     

    For promoting the forum it would nice to have a logo - any thoughts.... ;) anything but the pic of Neil in the Malls!

    I still have an 1810L in the cupboard with a border barrel, true left. There were some pictures on the board of it, but if you want some, please advise. It will come with a S&N butthook and standard Anschutz rear/foresight.

     

    Best regards

    Bob,

     

    Found the original post with the pics so I'll show the guy it. (PS do i get comission if he buys it....? :P;) )

     

    Thanks

  3. A club member who we have persuaded to take up smallbore is about to be granted his FAC. He is a left hander and currently he is using the club's right hand action in a left hand stock with an extended bolt underlever.

     

    He wishes to purchase a proper left hand action and is not too bothered about the manufacturer. So anyone has, or knows of, a good condition left handed Anschutz or Walther or Feinwerkbau that is needing a new home please can you drop me a line.

     

    Thanks

  4. I got asked a similar question today. From a list of numbers in Excel, say in cells E1 to E10, how can I produce an average on the best 8 from 10 scores?

     

    Regards

    Bob,

     

    try this - it gives the best 10 from 12 and even shows the class!

  5. The beauty is each member can choose their own skin :)

     

    What do you mean I can choose my own skin? This is proposterous! I need dictating to and have all my choices removed. Damn it, I don't live in a free world!

     

    Well done Bob - spoken like a true Micro$oft programmer! :D

     

    Bill Gates for ever :P

     

     

     

    :( I hope you realise that was meant to be funny! :wacko:

  6. Simon.

     

    Interested to know how you got rid of them.

    Our club may want to get rid of a couple of BSA rifles in future.

     

    Cheers

    Dave

    To be honest they were handed in to the Police to be destroyed before I had a chance to sell them. :(

  7. Our club has a surplus of BSA Mk II and MK III (Five in total). All are in good condition - all the owners moved up to Anchutz and they were gifted to the club.

     

    If anyone is interested please PM me as these will be scrapped after 2 weeks.

  8. Gehmann make them in a range of types - including graduated.

     

    Or find your friendly model engineer and armed with the pages from NSRA Handbook ask him to make some. We are lucky that we have such a member in the club - he did so after he was suspicious about the guage that we had bought yonks ago from the NSRA. The bought gauage was not concentric so if you were scoring and didn't like the result you could rotate it until it was in! :D . (it was only out about by 2 thousands of an inch but he's a perfectionist!)

  9. Their reason being that steel made after 1945 is tainted by nuclear fallout. Interesting, though I can't confirm the veracity.

    The real reason is that all new steel includes a percentage of scrap steel therefore there is no pure new steel being produced. Its harder to quality control when you don't know whats going in. Some of the additives in steel making to change properties are as low as 1 lb per ton of steel.

  10. I'm after a Gehmann 594 See Though rear sight. It's the older "panoramic" one. Has anyone out there got one that's surplus to requirements? (To fit an Anschutz 1814).

     

    I don't fancy the huge half brick of their new one :blink:

  11. I know its not a real trojan :rolleyes: but decent heuristics catch it all the same as you can see from the screen capture!

     

    I ditched Norton ages ago as it kept missing things even with the latest updates :( (my company did the same thing long before I did and switched to McAfee - they even managed to block all the last lot of worms!)

  12. i thought the barrels were the main component of the firearm hence the serial number being stamped on them.

    The main component of any firearm is the action not the barrel. The only thing that is stamped on the barrel is the proof mark (which must be there if you are to sell or transfer a firearm). If the number was on the barrel then you could not rebarrel your rifle!
