Here is a rather ratty New Land pattern pistol with Birmingham proof marks on the barrel and a safety catch I havent seen before which is not surprising as I. The units are on the way out, the tiles gone and the wiring has been carefully removed from the unsightly trunking running in sight, and will be put back in trunking behind the units where it cant be seen In my books that doesnt count as rewiring, merely slightly re arranging the existing wiring. I will get it checked when we have finished and I will consult the latest IEE regs as my understanding may be a bit out of date. All the wiring is in red and black T E so is somewhat dated, but looks perfectly good. I tried to buy some special plaster for skimming all surfaces but found that no one stocked it so Ill have to use a P. V. A. layer to cut the absorption and use Multifinish. I think we are making progress on ordering things we ordered two 3 meter x 6. Kg and they wont fit in the lift anyway we have got the supplier to cut each into the bits we want, so the largest is 5. Kg and will fit in the lift. It is a bit of a pain working on the forth floor and at the opposite end of the building to the lift We also have reasonable quote for replacing the windows I didnt much like the quote for 3. UPVC windows that you can buy for about 2. V. A. T. I would fit them myself but we are pushed for time and cant get at the outside so the windowns have to be installed from the inside this way someone else carries them up 4 flights and takes the old ones away We have 3 old storage heaters to dispose of Im tempted to throw the bricks out of the window, or more responsibly, lower them on a rope. Anyway as you might guess, no time for starting the pistol yet, although I might just nip into the workshop for half an hour tonight. Fuzzy photo of partially destroyed kitchen. October Here is the promised photo of the Hawkes and Mosley pistol I have to restore, the main obvious issues are the crack in the cock and the replacement cock screw. The lock appears to have been painted with silver paint, which is mostly removed but the residue may be hiding secrets At the moment it looks original, although the spur on the cock looks a bit short There are some nasty marks in the woodwork opposite the lock, and a few stains. The barrel is not too bad, but needs a little attention before re browning. The action works well. Ill show it to Dick and we can have a good look at it together. The lock needs paint stripper and then de rusting and the cock welded and the cock screw replaced. Getting rid of the finish on the wood and steaming it will reveal how deep the marks are. I have started a new post for it, Hawkes Mosley, with the original photos. Three of us spent the day at Giless flat finishing the preliminary clean so we can see what we are dealing with Some of the details need sorting, and Im trying to understand the wiring. It looks as if a foam cornice was put round the ceiling edge then the flat was completely re wired in surface mounted trunking including trunking skirting boards, and then a new floor was laid in the living room, butted up to the skirting, then a strip of coving glued on to cover the joint between floor and skirting. I now need to replace the trunking skirting as I want to skim the walls, and cant get more sockets to fit that trunking. All a bit involved the existing arrangement looks a bit of a mess, as does a lot of the plastic trunking I dont want to rewire the flat, but I think a bit of re arrangement of the trunking is going to be essential to improve the look of the place. See post Hanover Court. Giles removing the foam cornice. Elegant wiring in surface trunking September Back from the AML shoot where I exercised my Twigg single 1. Its the first time Ive shot flintlock in a scored AML shoot, and Ive only ever hit a couple of clays with one, so I wasnt expecting muchI didnt hit any for the first half dozen shots, and I made what for me is a capital mistake, which is to try too hard and shoot gun up gun in the shoulder ready to pull the trigger as soon as its aiming properly the extra thinking time just spoils the flow for me, although about half of the group shoot this way, or at least nearly up. About half way through I had hit a couple of clays and began to think positively and reverted to gun down where you dont mount the gun until beginning your swing. At that point I got a bit more relaxed and hit a few more. The clays were not easy for flintlocks, which are more difficult to get kills with than percussion, which in turn are more difficult than breech loaders, but I did manage 1. I think I may stick with the flintlock for a while as its more fun. I managed most of the shoot on an old flint that looked so bad that I got teased about it it carried on working for a good few shots before bits cracked off and I had to replace it. Kotaku.
