    I tried to get a photo of one hanging around u a few weeks ago. All I got was a photo of where he used to be. For a happy bird they have grumpy looking eye brows.

    No, in the instance there is no relationship between the brass and the chamber other than one sits in the other. You need to either know the wall thickness atvthe neck and the projectile OD, or the...

    I've got 3 or 4 Tilley lamps I no longer need..free to a good home. They may need a wee bit of tinkering, I haven't used them in years. Pick up in West Auckland, after lockdown.
