    plastic clip-on barrel bipod.
    Just to see if i 'liked' the concept of a bipod....
    ....broke as i adjusted the gun back and forth while lying prone.

    Verdict: pointless!

    Useless

    Scope illuminator, battery powered, lights up cross hairs, yes, but not the target so have no idea where it's aiming! David

    For me it was those 1970's/80's "Lanes" pellet holders that screwed to the side of the stock. Fell to bits and left two badly screwed holes in the stock.........Were they a freebee from a magazine ?

    I remember those - affixed with sticky backed plastic!. I think Protek may have some new old stock.

    Kind regards,

    best and worse, the remington shirt. gortex lined and freezes in winter and becomes a sauna in summer. looks good though.
    the only thing i can find wrong is the nut on the steering wheel.

    Yep, unfortunately, as I was transient during the first year of my divorce, I had to voluntarily surrender my F.A.C. and sell off all my lovelies. Three years on, I now own a home again, however (well, have a mortgage on one, lol), but haven't reapplied for my F.A.C. as yet: maybe next year?
