  1. It is not. An obscure Firearm,made in Belgium and the forerunner to the L1A1 SLR. Can you guess what it is yet?
  2. A free spent case to the first person who can correctly name this Rifle! [ame] [/ame]
  3. Let me explain. Firstly you spend most of your life in an Office. Then you conjure up invisible Wolves made from Lentils with poisonous Fangs that roam around in Packs.They dispatch Deer,Wild Pigs,Goats and sheep while they are asleep.Due to the poisonous bite the feral animals feel no pain,then devour the entire animal. When the population of feral animals is extinct,the Wolves deconstruct themselves thus avoiding eating Farmers Livestock. Its all very simple Tom.
  4. Thankyou for replying,its a hell of a nice unit!
  5. That setup looks fantastic! How much did it cost please?
  6. What about ending alot of speculation and having the properties of Saturn Knives in conjunction with OEM Knives tested by a Metallurgist? I have used them for years.
  7. 9mm is also a Pistol and Rifle Caliber,as well as being a Garden Gun Bore. .410 of an inch is only a Shotgun Caliber. These are .22 Shot shell Cartridges.Good for Rats in a Shed.
  8. Ok. The .410 Shotgun Cartridge is infact the only Shotgun Cartridge that reflects the diameter of the Bore.The other Cartridges 12,20,16 etc are how many lead Balls or the Bore diamter required to make one Pound of weight.Hence 12 Bore.
  9. I milled enough Timber on a Alaskan Mill for my Boss at the time to construct and clad a two bay Machinery Shed.Out of Yellow Ceder with a Red Ceder Shingle Roof.
  10. It was infact a Nail. Shrapnel is generally alot harder than your average Nail.AP projectiles,the kind that Fighter Planes and Bombers used to fire is probably the worst.
  11. I even found some Metal in a Tree. I beleive it had in fact been in there some time.Can anyone guess the nature of the object?
  12. We climbed and sectioned down the biggest Oaks,under the direction of a retired Surgeon turned Long Boat enthusiast.They use the long curved Limbs to form the Ribs,plank the Barrels and use other bits for Oars etc.
  13. I spent most of today cutting down a Old Oak Tree in a Norwegian Forest so some people could use its Timber in the Construction of a Viking Long Boat. Did anyone find that interesting?
  14. One more [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n0ncywMftCU]Curling 005 - YouTube[/ame]
  15. Hard at work in Norway. [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WuMPMTcq2cI]Curling 003 - YouTube[/ame]
  16. <p>Andy: I have tried to calling you and sending you PM's,give me a call in case I have the wrong number.</p>

  17. I have used vegetable Oil in place of Bar Lube on many occasions.Works well enough.
  18. Honestly i have had about enough of Sthil. There used to be reason in justifying the extra cost of them,however these days their quality seems to have slumped. I believe they had better sort their act out or other manufacturers will pick up their market share. I used to work in a Logging crew,066's and 064's used to run eight hours a day,five or six days a week,limbing bucking and falling timber.All with only basic maintenance. Try that with a new Sthil.
  19. Great Video! I think thats the most interesting Video and contribution I have seen on here in ages.
  20. I´d give you a tenner for it,but that would include delivery.
