Thanks. Taken when shooting at a clay competition during off season. Shoot wildfowl and game in season.

Thanks for the heads-up!

Yes, but what about those people reading the thread now. I thought that this site was about helping others?

Surely removing the rear diff or VCU would constitute a 'modification' and therefore be reportable to the insurance company?
