    Wood starts burning at 300c and typically hits 600C plus A 5000 series aluminium melts around 650... If you have a warm fire burning it, accidentally smother it with too much fuel, it will...

    Can't help you with the cylinder's capacity as I have seen them in several lengths, but can comment re the funnel. I still use mine. 137583 and in use. Chap on left holding rifle correctly,...

    My Dads No1 Mk3 holds pride of place in my cabinet, it was one of the BSA sporterised ones sold in the early 1950's. Dad was a "child of the depression" and his family did it very hard, he left...

    Got-ya liked post by csmiffy On thread : Putting choke on smooth bore shotgun
    assuming the same payload for the shell, and exactly the same shot size, there will be more steel pellets in the shell because steel weighs less than lead. I am sure there are different powders used...

    If you are hunting seriously then you cant beat poly pro long johns over nylon shorts and with your choice of puttess/ gaiters. You will get wet but they move freely, are quiet and when wet they dry...

    Barrel diameter is a bigger determinant on weight. Thinning the barrel profile is more effective.

    Got-ya liked post by Dama dama On thread : What's considered "lightweight "
    For me around 3.5kg is a sweet spot, not to heavy to lug about and not to light that is dances about when shooting. I can certainly understand the desire for a going under 3kgs for those guys who do...

    Got-ya liked post by Shearer On thread : Who loves magnification?
    More magnification generally means more size/weight. A 2-20x the size and weight of the 3-9 on my bush pig would be great but if there is such a thing I can't afford it. 9x is plenty for what I use...
