  1. No that's a wives tale about the blanket. Same as that chainsaw trousers stop .22 LR. It takes trousers folded x5 to stop a .22
  2. Probably. +P 45 ACP isn't very hot. Given that a regular .45 Acp travels at the speed of a .177 Air Rifle pellet fired from a BSA Meteor.
  3. Johnson D is very close,he got the caliber right. This was originally chambered in .455 Webley but that the cylinder shaved to accept moon clips in 45 ACP. https://www.americanrifleman.org/content/this-old-gun-smith-wesson-455-hand-ejector/
  4. Hard question to answer. 60 round series with a 606 point possible ,national ranked shooters would be in the high 580s. I didn't pay much attention to what the averages were,shooting is mostly mental so you don't look down the board. Most shots into a 2cm bullseye at 25m.
  5. 25m/50m are standard distances
  6. Trip to the range,home cast powder coated projectiles a mate cast. Shame pistols are so hard to access for Brits,this one was bought by the UK government from the states during the first World war.
  7. " You can see my house from here" * photo approved for general release by the government *
  8. Haha You are a fake not a very convincing one either. On to ignore you go.
  9. I think you are enjoying this attention,I also suspect you are a previous member here who has come back to cause trouble. Post some pictures of your work please,let's see what your basing your opinion on.
  10. How to state " I have no big tree rigging experience " by just using more words. GCRS is magnificent in the right place with the right guys.Been using mine for 15 years.
  11. So they could learn on the other side of the road and get into the habit of angling the blade the wrong way thus flinging tones of snow into on coming traffic? Yeah nah.
  12. To be honest you could have made a better job on that stump,he could have been less of a twit. I get a incident like this every now and again. Sometimes it's because I didn't manage expectations, sometimes I didn't do as good a job as I could have,other times the client was a bellend who never intended to pay all along.. I am surprised that with your 30 years in the game you simply haven't learned how to deal with people like this? Take the course of least resistance in order for you to get paid. Put this behind you and have a nice Christmas. On a somewhat similar note,I had a call from a client last night querying my invoice. Instead of me taking the wood away ,her neighbour decided to have it. I declined transporting it 100m to her neighbours for free but we agreed with the client I would cut it up for them onsite. She wanted a discount because " I hadn't bothered to take the wood away". I simply should have changed the written quote to list the new details and had her sign it but I assumed she would be reasonable. My fault,let's see if she pays.
  13. Sounds like a Kohler air cooled V twin? Engines are still available as well as parts. What was the basis for their condemnation of the engine?
  14. This is Carl. My ex wife took him when she moved out. Really miss the cat.
  15. I dont think thats coming back.I hope I am wrong by I thought Japanese Maples were pretty delicate. He could have made a very costly mistake. I once did a quote to replace a Holly of about that size,the quote came to £60K. Something to bear in mind.
  16. Please post some of your songs. What are their titles?
  17. Go on... This "Machine" you can see it though? Is it everywhere and knowhere at the same time,do its tentacles entwine the minds of world leaders like hostages bound with endless sisal sea salted rope as they unwillingly struggle against it. Its all so clear to you though Mark.Tree guys just know..
  18. Dont throw metal weights around peoples gardens.At best you will break roof tiles and pavers,at worst you will hit someone in the head.
  19. Looks like the Dems are racist.Or perhaps they could see through her bollocks. This is probably the most upset the Dems have been since they lost their Slaves.
  20. So many liberal melt downs today. If they had feilded a candidate that had appealed to more Americans than Trump,they would have won. It's that simple. Cry all you like.
  21. God bless president Trump. Looks like the Ukrainians are going to have to start leaning a bit harder on Nato. In other news sea levels are predicted to rise along America's Eastern and Westeren seaboard due to the billions of gallons of liberal tears shed.
  22. I fear you have misunderstood my statement. NK is fighting for Chinese interests in support of Russia. China has already contributed much war material to Russia but thus far no troops. Instead it has helped NK get up to speed with 10,000 personal .
