If you can endure the accent for 18 minutes

I can't -- and I won't.
But I respect his Native culture. We should maybe not try to civilize them further. Christianization was enough...

Excuse me chaps, but the two experts in the video are perfectly well spoken and frightfully clear. You old Colonials are still speaking like it was the 18th Century.

Princess Stevie SKB... please show us where I ever once said that your import service fee is $800.00. That figure I used for the hypothetical example that triggered you came from Trump Deranged Stephen, aka Bushveld.

So now we have the question of whether or not the average $800.00 cost he has paid to import a gun includes insurance, duty, and perhaps a tariff. A cost of $800.00 total might be a relative bargain compared to the fee you now admit to charging.

And it brings us back to the hypothetical question that Stephen still has not replied to. $650.00 is still a much larger chunk of money than many sellers here get when they sell a gun case for $350.00, or some ammo for $300.00, or perhaps earn a net profit of only a couple hundred on a consignment or personal gun sale. Yet the vast majority of them pay Dave Weber the customary $12.00 fee for using his site to advertise and make a sale. And they do so without coercion or prodding, on the Honor System.

So tell us at long last Princess Stevie SKB... do you pay Dave the $12.00 fee for each and every sale you make as a result of your Free Tagline Advertising of your For-Profit Business Ventures? Or do you feel somehow exempt, and expect others to pay for the privilege of selling here, and to subsidize you?

The other Free Advertisers here could chime in as well to answer the same question, and to let us know whether they have the integrity to pay Dave. And if you Posted this here in the open forum, and are able to make the false accusation you did here about something I never said concerning your substantial import fees, then you can also stop playing games and answer my simple question... a question you have been running away from like a coward for many months.

It should be easy... for someone who has nothing to hide or be ashamed of.

That video was pretty interesting.

But this one that followed it at least for me, was even more interesting. It is four years old, so I wonder what they would say today.

Steel shot for game shooting is one thing, but no-tox for clay targets is entirely another. Punitive. But it seems there are few targets shot with a SxS in the UK, and what game shooting videos I’ve seen most, if not all, of the shooters use an O/U. With their thinner barrel walls and old age, both composite and fluid steel British SxS guns have had their day. Toast. It seems, though, that the five year transition period to no-tox has been going on for more than five years. Is there a drop dead date?

When we hear of shotgun barrels being damaged by steel shot, it isn't because they ruptured due to excessive pressures. Most commonly, the damage results when steel shot is used in older vintage guns that have thinner barrels and tight chokes. The problem is exacerbated when larger shot bridges as it is forced through tighter chokes.

We can minimize the risk of damage from use of steel shot by just not using it in any vintage gun that has thinner barrels and tight chokes, and/or by using smaller shot sizes. A better course of action is to simply not use it at all, because it is a ballistically poor substitute for lead shot.

The best course of action is to fight every attempt by government and game agencies to implement lead shot bans. Virtually all of the lead shot fired over lakes, marshes, and waterways prior to the waterfowl hunting lead shot ban is still there. Some has sunk into silt, but other areas have hard bottoms, or it may be churned up by storms, flooding, etc. Lead shot is still legal in some of the countries where the migratory birds spend part of the year before returning here, so many of the birds are still exposed to it. But the hysteria over ducks and geese dying from lead poisoning stopped right after the anti-lead forces got their way. And coincidentally, there was also a huge reduction in the use of other sources of lead that were much more hazardous and bio-available, such as leaded gasoline, paints, and other chemical compounds.

Our own, maybe.

Best,
Ted

He stopped shooting lead today
They placed a wreath upon his door
And soon they’ll carry him away
He stopped shooting lead today
