Good. Sack of cunts they are.

Wait... what...? Is that a THING? Is this like available for production, or engineering samples only? :-DD

Enjoy. But did your government not force you to turn in those nasty .223 killer weapons and use something more harmless ? Like a .338LM or so ?

Still looking for that Cheytac. ...
Yeah lots had to hand in their AR’s but only bolt action stuff in my cupboard...can’t stand the rattling things.
Nothing bigger than 7.62 here.

At the bench now sorting brass.
And 40 pills later, done. Love my Chargemaster.  :phew:

Dillon 650 and Rock Chucker here.

Over here the grabbers are also hyperactive so I am considering to let go of a few of my critters.
TBH there is not much that you cannot accomplish with a .308 or a .338LM

RC here too.
Most of what we do is vermin control and a bit of chasing Bambi so not very demanding or long range.
Still we have a private setup here with frames out to 500 and a gong at 700 that a few mates use and we can put our gear through it’s paces and gain trust in its capabilities.

Much negative press here too after that nutter went mental 18 months ago and the general population has no idea that powder powered projectiles are a valuable part of rural life let alone competitive sport.

From page one of this thread:

TEA Anthem

"...Mirrors on the ceiling,
and pink champagne on ice.
Then she said,
'We are all just prisoners here; of our own device...'"

(Hotel California video removed since YouTube keeps deleting them)

"...'Relax' said the night man,
'We are programmed to receive.
You can check out any time you like,
But you can never leave...'"

Londo, are you deliberately trying to drive me insane?

I've just snagged 80 0.03% resistors between 100mohm and 1Mohm for £34+35%. They are ready mounted on switches with a 2mohm resistance, and in a nice enclosure with the legend "JJ Instruments R802 Resistance Box".

Don't you just love those "personal" suggestions... Here's one emission I've just received

We noticed you missed out on this lot yesterday.

Here are some alternatives you might like.

Try sharing your ebay account with the wife and the "personal suggestions" can get even crazier!

speaking of which.
The postman always rings twice.

He brought me my Threshold FET NINE preamp that I somehow won on ebay (how did that happen ????)
The other one brought me one of those over the top sound cards for the high end music streamer gen 3 ...

It's playing back a very relaxed shine on you crazy diamonds in a quality that is not to be sniffed at.

Bonus: I took out my TA-E 86 and can use it in my other flat to replace the failed one until repairs have been performed.

Winner Winner, no tofu dinner.
