    My HW80

    So....
    A few of you may remember my HW80 project gun. Some time ago I allowed my next door neighbour to borrow it so he could teach the youngster how to shoot. Never really thought any more about it.....

    Tonight, the woman next door was having problems with her fire alarm so I went round to see if I could get it sorted for her. Eventually she mentions the gun.
    ' I have some bad news I'm afraid..... on New Years Eve, Simon had a bit of a melt down and we fell out. He threatened to kill himself and disappeared. I phoned the police who came to the house.... they ch3cked around the house to see if he was hiding anywhere and found your gun. They said they had better take it away in case he came home and did himself some damage. So if you want your gun you need to go to the police station and collect it.'

    Of course they split up and they have gone their separate ways.

    She told me this half an hour ago......

    Thanks for that then neighbour.

    Lesson well and truly learned.

    Gutted for you, mate.

    Must admit, I don't really like to borrow or lend things, as I hate the responsibilty of looking after other people's cherished possessions and, in the past, I've had things that I've lent out damaged or go walkies.

    Sorry to hear this, mate.

    We will see tomorrow. We are now 2 months down the line from plod taking it away and I have only just been told. I don't normally lend stuff out but next doors lad is sound enough and the chap didn't come across as a nutcase so I lent him the HW80 as it was the only 22 gun I own and it's not really finished yet.
    I would never have lent him one of my 97s!!!

    We had a saying in South Africa, never lend out your gun or your wife. I would leave the 80 where it is in case it is over the top.
