You can Andy but you do have to lay the clamp down at quite and angle to avoid the blade, sacrificing a bit of scrap wood to raise it up is often easier.
-
Location isn’t an issue in regards buying kit bud I know lads from one end of country to the other, or couriers. Most on the milling forum know my location or it’s on my profile.
-
Yeah Aberdeenshire??. You got anything that might suit ?? Working down near Largs at moment so on the road a fair bit ??

Hi All Just wondering if anyone has a spare 50inch or above bar to suit an 880 . Got a couple of Elm to mill that will probs max out the set up I have and don’t want to be trimming them down to fit. I’d be interested in a complete larger Alaskan mill/Bar chain etc if anyone was not wanting to split up an existing set up.
-
Well funny you should find that as I’m getting exactly the same. Elm or oak etc etc they are fine but the decent size Douglas I have just dulls them in no time at all. Is it a particular type of blade you find works best on the DF ?
-
Did you not rate the ripper blades compared to what you were already using ??.

No idea why it’s putting the replies up twice ?♂️

Extinction maybe not but do a little bit of research and you will see numbers are dramatically down in regards rural Fox numbers in the UK. Modern sighting technology, comparatively cheap accurate rifles etc etc killing them has become a very efficient and popular pastime.

Local keeper here has shot 127 fox this year. No bragging or boasting that figure came from his boss. Modern technology ie thermal imaging, night vision, electronic callers and ever more accurate calibres will make the Fox ? a rare creature I fear. I wonder how many more are killed nowadays as opposed to when hunts dealt with the controlling them. Thermal at night zero chance, mounted hunt some chance ?♂️Anyone whom has any knowledge of how it works will tell you it’s in no way a sure thing to catch anything.

Did I once say anything to justify any particular form of hunting ??, I’ve stated right from the beginning of this topic that the whole grouse/pheasant thing is not for me at all. Irrational fear ?? You think so. One thing at a time is the anti hunting mentality.
-
Non hunting and anti hunting there is a huge huge difference !!. Anti hunt groups have made it clear it’s one thing at a time, start with the easy targets and work up to the likes of fishing.
-
You didn’t know pistols were illegal in the UK?? Shooters in the UK have never been allowed automatic weapons, pre Hungerford SEMI auto full bore were legal for certain competitive disciplines.
-
?? That’s some level of knowledge, 2 at 3.5m 1at 2.9m long and all at 300x130mm. If its of any use it genuinely stinks when cutting it, not very scientific I know ?♂️
-
??? All very very PC actually way too much for me. Perceived risks !! Legal alternatives !! Enjoyment !! Wrong hands !!, serious incidents with legally held firearms!!. All well used lines. What I shot or shoot is irrelevant and most sensible responsible shooters will not broadcast online their activities. You can if you need to and actually I do not believe in reality you are as naive to UK firearms laws as you say, find out all about UK firearms legislation online in no time at all. What you won’t find so easily is the facts behind each case and the failings of existing legislation at the time. Water under the bridge now unfortunately.
-
?♂️?♂️All the information he apparently requires is easily available in great detail online. To have shot full and small bore and other disciplines inc air rifles yet to have no knowledge of any of the number of tragic events leading to changes in the firearms legislation is unusual to say the least.
-
You probably would not get a sect 1 shotgun slot for wild fowling, but a lot depends on your liaison officer so never say never. Pest control ( pigeon/crow etc) and Practical Shotgun are the two reasons most commonly used. Ref the Fowling im on the lookout for a 10 bore, always fancied one and love those old punt guns ??
-
Random D & A is everywhere nowadays. It was more a comment aimed at the at the scene you painted of cannabis farms and pistol toting drug dealers all over the Countryside ?
-
Hungerford was semi not auto rifles Dunblane was pistols inc Olympic 22 target pistols courtesy of Blair. Shotgun capacity was restricted to 2+1 unless on an FAC at the same time as semi auto rifles went sect 5

Doesn’t even make sense

Cannabis farms and handguns ?♂️?♂️You smoking it right now ?? Inner city criminal firearms use is statistically far far more prevalent than anything that occurs in the countryside or rural locations. You need to get that diving holiday booked and get some high PPO2 into you to clear your head. The era of predators you describe wandering the countryside is long gone. What was the population of the UK last time we had such animals in the wild as opposed to now??. Regarding subsidies and farmers I’d probs not disagree too much but until we are willing to pay a lot more for food then it’s gonna be that way.
-
Not unsurprisingly you forget that we farm livestock in the UK.

You are showing either your age or a total lack of base knowledge of the subject in hand. The info you require is easy to source online and many on here whom are or were shooters will know full well the impact of a succession of firearms amendments starting with semi auto full bore then pistols and recently MARS type eqpt. My point is because it was and is a minority sport it’s easy to chip away at each discipline with relatively little opposition. Death by a thousand cuts and all that regardless of it being one of the safest and most stringently regulated activities an individual can partake in.
