Can I easily change the front bead?

Can I easily change the front bead?

This is a front bead on my silver pigeon field gun. I want to use it more for clays so wondering if there is a more suited bead I can change it to.

How should I store my assembled O/U shotgun in my cabinet?

New to shotgun shooting. Recently bought a beretta silver pigeon.

I want to store it in my cabinet assembled. But, when I hold in the pin on the receiver and loosen off the lever, when I close it up, it seems to cock the gun.

How do people store their assembled O/Us?

Shotguns and chamber size confusion

I finally have my shotgun license and will be looking for a used O/U very soon. I will be going for a 12 bore shotgun but what confuses me is chamber size.

It seems that chamber size can vary but what confuses me greatly is when looking at 12 bore ammo, the chamber size is never given.

How can I be safe and order the correct shells for the shotgun I end up with? And what is the recommended chamber size?

Intermittent issue where revs very briefly drop on TDI engine. Causing forward jolt motion

2017 Audi A4 2.0 tdi with about 100k miles and recently serviced. Its a manual

Over the past couple of months, my Audi A4 has been suffering an occasional misfire or drop in revs. At least that what it feels like. It’s like a sudden loss of power for half a second or less causing a slight jolt forward at higher speeds and a more pronounced one at slower speeds, like the brakes were slammed on quickly. It’s happened at 20mph in 2nd gear and 50mph in 5th, i can’t seem to find a pattern apart from that it tends to only do it when the engine gets to temperature. About 15-20 minutes into the journey, do it once or twice and then not again. It did it three times at around 15 minutes into a 500 mile journey, but only then. Very strange.

  1. It does not go into limp mode.
  2. No engine codes - I’ve I checked with my ODBeleven
    3 It’s happened whilst OUT of gear and me coming to stop at traffic lights. Causing the engine to stall, but it recovered.

I’m not sure when the last fuel filter change was done on it however. I can’t see a mention of it in the history. Could this be the cause? Air in the fuel line?

Duster 3rd gen. Will it suit my needs?

I’m considering swapping my 2017 Audi A4 avant TDI with a Duster. I love the 3rd gen one. Haven’t test driven one yet though. A few questions though

  1. Will the boot be big enough for a German shepherd?
  2. What kind of mpg do they get?
  3. Can you get the 4wd one in an automatic?
  4. How comfortable to drive are they? My A4 I find is not comfortable on most road surfaces

Misfire or ABS unit malfunctioning? Audi A4 TDI

Recently been having a weird issue with my 2017 Audi TDI. 105k. Manual.

I can’t tell whether it’s the ABS unit or a misfire.

The car appears to be braking by itself. But only a quick fairly sharp application. Lasts half a second. At least that what it feels like. It causes a noticeable jolt forward at lower speeds but more subtle at higher speeds. So it happens at any speed or gear. It’s very infrequent too. Some journeys it doesn’t happen at all. Some journeys once. Some journeys three times. Can happen when accelerating and when cruising. Has not gone into limp mode. It hasn’t happened around corners. Most times it’s when driving straight and cruising.

I checked for a code on my ODBeleven but didn’t see any until recently. U008000 under the brake module.

* I did have the ABS unit reconditioned about 5 months ago due to a different issue. Perhaps the unit needs bleeding?

I’m 38 so no issues watching tv shows from the 90s. Should I start from episode 1? How long will it take to get into it? I know I’ll love it I’m sure

I need to repair a few areas of mortar on my house and rather than mix it. I’d prefer to buy a tube of mortar repair. But not sure what kind of colour this is called. Is it buff? Or would buff be far too light?
