Re: Little Help With a Kid
Hi Tom As I live in the UK I can't recommend any specific books, but would suggest taking her to your local library. Let her look around the children's section and she will soon find books that both interest her, and are designed for her age group. My 6 year old son has been learning to read for the...

A member on one of the UK forums is sending me some thin adhesive backed rubber, I'm going to try that first and see how I get on.

Managed to find a UK supplier who does a grind to fit one, will probably go with that.

Replacement butt pad for Browning BL-22
Hi Guys I am finding the plastic butt pad on my BL22 slides about on my shoulder during cocking. I would like to replace it with a rubber version but cant seem to find any details of a direct replacement. Does anyone know if a rubber butt pad from a Marlin or other lever gun would fit? Alternatively...

Oh dear, I think I've got the bug....
...for lever guns. 2nd time at the range last night with my Anschutz, fitted a small scope to it so I could really see how accurate it was, and was surprised by the results.
I want one in 357 mag now.

Hi Guys
I am thinking about getting these

for my BL-22. The ad says they will fit the BLR, does anybody know if they will also fit the BL-22?

Re: First shoot with new gun yesterday
I think the engraving was done at the factory, it doesn't look like it's been added afterwards.
Nath, so far just CCI standards. i'll have to go through the whole trying loads of brands to see what it likes. Hopefully it will like CCI as my other rifles do and it's easier to just by one brand.

Re: First shoot with new gun yesterday
I'm sure it is accurate with the open sights. In fact I was getting reasonable groups after about 50 shots, it's just that I'm used to a scope and have a nice little 1.5x5 sitting at home getting dusty. :D And as you asked so nicely, more pics http://inlinethumb03.webshots.com/45442/2386022080057383...

I love this thing. :mrgreen: The action is very slick, and considering I was shooting it with the open sights (which were off, and which I haven't used since I was a kid) ...

Went to a gun show at Bisley today, which is the home of the NRA in the UK. Picked up an absolutely mint Anschutz ML 22. As far as I can tell, it's the same as a Browning BL 22 grade 2, I guess just made under licence by Anschutz. Got to wait until Thursday until I can shoot it.

It often amuses me that in the UK we are massively restricted with gun ownership compared to the US, yet can get suppressors (or moderators as they are generally known here) with ease. Go figure.
