    Unless things have changed over the last three years since I have renewed my s g c but I found that the Norfolk branch of the police who issued out the new s g c were first class , kept you informed and my new one came through the letter box just before my old one ran out .

    Last week I handed in a B S A s x s to the local police station and again no problem , no charge and they gave me a receipt to prove I have handed it in and no longer have it .

    Certainly haven't any complaints now or in the past .     MM

    my last renewal.............went in on the friday and the new certificate was on the mat on the thursday

    They could do something non destructive like dropping hundreds of thousands of bacon rashers on them, or flip-flop sandals as it’s an insult being hit by one. :)

    i think being in the modern age the israelis would prefer to drop packets of  explodingFrazzles....followed by a swift strike of Pork scratchings

    Israel have said they will retaliate and hit back at Iran...................i wonder what form this will take...

    just a few well placed missiles/bombs

    or a bloody good pasting....with several strikes on enrichment plants before the Iranians can produce the goodstuff

    i bet the planners are busy as we speak

    to consider..........

    i had my sxs barrells regulated...........using a particular name and weight and shot size of a cartridge...........it was regulated to those cartridges

    if you are a cartridge tart and swap around to other fancy coloured cartridges.....your regulated barralls are not regualated anymore......ie: waste of time

    stick to your cartridge that the barralls were regulated to

     NOTE       "regulated" usually means the alignment of barrells....but can also mean the honing of chokes to give the desired pattern with a chosen cartridge

    I think you will find old age and disease take the biscuit for that..
    Communism would likely take 2nd place if you factor in the consequential deaths of events like the Great Leap Forward.

    Which one as there were a couple in the sale. The XXV Churchill style sidelock made about £410 I think. There was a tidy looking AYA boxlock too but would need to check my notes to see if I made a note of what that made. 
    Some of the Victorian taxidermy made strong money.

    the churchill rib one...............if it was in good condition that was a cracking price
