I can smell and taste the moment meat starts to turn. No meat from the supermarket stays in the fridge longer than a day and a half before being eaten or put in the freezer. At a family bbq a few...

I vividly remember my grandparents attitude, which was basically that the longer the meat sits in the chiller the more curry you need when cooking it! The modern food safety advocates would have a...

The easy way to put dovetails in is with a hacksaw, a 3-suqare file with one surface ground dead, and a good flat file. Put two hacksaw slots to the correct depth spaced just inside the narrow part...

The M55 is the basis for a very nice light rifle. I've had 2. First one was a 308 and when it was toast I re-barelled to 7-08 with a pac-nor. It would shoot lights out. The 2nd one I bought off...

I had and LSA 55 in 22-250. But it dated from the 70's rather than the 80's. It was a very well made rifle made by the genuine but sadly gone Tikka company, not some Italian off-shoot. Sadly the...
