Welcome aboard Dave...I'm sure a few on here will enjoy picking your brains on gunsmithing in particular and deabating anything general.
They are a friendly bunch, once you get to know them.

Welcome Dave,
I have 2 guns from SYSS, that no doubt you did the work on, a 10/22 and last year a Rem 700.
I am pleased to see that you have a good web site up and running
http://www.valkyrierifles.net/, which obviously took some thought and work. I believe that says a lot about the people running the business. Hopefully we are now seeing the last of the companies that thought that it was acceptable just to have a contact page as their web site. I am sure that you know how important it is to keep people updated through the customers that SYSS has attracted through their web site.
I believe that you have visited the target shotgun event at Bisley, though not sure if you shot it or not, hope to see you there this year. As it is next to the McQueens you have no excuse not to have a go,
Good luck,
DM

Thanks for the welcome folks.
We have shot the target shotgun event at all the gallery rifle meets for the last two years Dangermouse, in fact, i,ve won a medal at every single one i think [usually bronze ] We absolutely love it, and it inspired us into practical shotgun. I,ve no doubt we,ve met. I,m a bald chap,...
, and my buddy is a baldie, but about 25 stone, and looks like shrek....only not green.
Are you doing the spring shottie festival ? There,s a right tribe of us coming down for a couple of days of guns, beer and curry...cant wait !
