I have a fully banded Colt Excalibur homebase similar to the old Ham International Jumbo but with a nice silver front instead of the black. If anyone wants it they go for well over a hundred on ebay plus a lot in postage coz of the weight. If any interest I'll post it in the for sale section with pics and a video of it working smile

Oh and maxdavo I know your brother well. Tell him Steve the hippy said hi.

There's a real danger that the left will drag Britain back to the 1970s, with secure well-paid jobs, ample housing, properly-funded NHS and social care, free tuition, student grants, final salary pensions, affordable rail fares and fabulous films and music. David Osland 2025
