  1. Section1 shotgun question.

    As far as slots go for practical shotgun i asked for 4 and was granted all 4, standard tube mag semi auto in 12 and 20, pump and box mag in 12 Part of the competetive aspect of practical shotgun is loading at speed, some stages start with a loaded gun with a round in the chamber, some start...
  2. One for one variation procedure - why?

    Could be simplified a lot Sell or trade in current rimfire with another club member against thiers, notify police you have both swapped .22 rimfires Receive snotty letter in post from police stating this is not correct procedure along with variation form to fill in and request to return it...
  3. Advice sought on underlever/lever action guns

    In a winchester 94 you need to check if they cycle without rounds coming out of the tube mag and jamming underneath the lifter The very end of the link wears and the front of it that is supposed to stop the next round exiting the mag before the correct time in the lever cycle doesn't so the...
  4. A FAC for the wife, anyone been down that road?

    only downside is when you buy something else if you have identical certificates she also needs it on hers and has to notify it so no sneaking a new toy into the cabinet unnoticed
  5. Factory ammo prices

    Filled ours up the other day at Morrisons as my wife had let it get empty enough for the fuel light to come on and it was just over £162 for the tank full, painfull part is we have used it a lot since last Friday and its down to a quarter of a tank left now so will need filling up again over the...
  6. Hadfield guns wymeswold

    My wife bought a Ruger 10/22 takedown from them, gun was as they had described on guntrader, shop has loads in it too look at and we got a good deal on 300 blackout subs that they had in when we collected the Ruger Wouldnt hesitate to buy from them again if they had what i wanted at the right price
  7. When other people win...

    If i had that kind of money i would set up a shooting organisation with a legal fighting fund to challenge every overzealous jobsworth refusal of grants and variations Also fight to help members who have had guns taken / removed off the back of false accusations from exes / bitter neighbours...
  8. What’s the most inaccurate rifle you’ve ever witnessed/had?

    My Dixon .270 with ppu factory ammo, was slinging shots all over the paper at 100 yds with group size being around 7 - 8 inches Homeloading got that down to grouping within an inch at 100 yds, never stuck any factory ammo through it since and ive had it approx 20 years now
  9. Parcel force options?

    Maybe they have changed it to better reflect there service level with a new motto "Evri parcel lost, damaged or stolen" "Evri customer service rep uncontactable"
  10. 'Evri' . . . . still pathetic service

    Had exactly this problem the other day with DPD, delivery attempted when he had been nowhere near, luckily with DPD they have customer service phone numbers and after a polite but forceful rant i got no where. Called back and tried a different approach of wanting to speak to the depot manager...

  12. Inguinal hernias

    Considering they do it keyhole you still end up black and blue and look like someone has given you a good pasting with a baseball bat, painfull for a couple of days when i had mine done in my early 40's but the pain killers take the edge off, definately worth the discomfort to have it fixed...
  13. Doing up House advice.

    The answer to that will come from an estate agent, whats it's worth as is, and whats it's worth done up If the done up price is significantly higher to account for the cost, hassle and time delay involved in getting it on the market and out to potential buyers then spend money on it, if not get...
  14. One for one variation

    This is wrong A moderator is a section 1 firearm as far as its presence on an FAC goes and a 1-4-1 allows for the changing of 1 section one FAC entry for another and therefore allows for a moderator to be 1-4-1 swapped for a rifle If your local force tell you differently they are just having...
  15. Primers and powder

    How do i reload CBC brass shotgun cartridges for my shotgun then ? They use a large pistol primer so it would be assumed a SGC justifies the purchase even without a pistol calibre on an FAC
