www.gunbase.co.uk select features scroll down left column to stolen licenses and gun register, as used by gundealers/ traders and the like in the case of lost or stolen licences and firearms, its a bit sad that people think theyre simply renewed and not recorded,and your right I havent personally had any problems with northumbria licensing ,but I know plenty that have, but then again theyre mostly idiots in thier own little universe that believe **** like this doesnt happen.

Military surplus 7.62/308 is about 30 a hundred up here if your target plinking you can reload for around 45p each for decent deer and target rounds.

Funnily enough the police would probably turn up quicker if they reported you chasing them with a gun, even though they are in the wrong,even idiots are aware of the laws concerning firearms these days and theyll relish the thought of your arrest.

Just posted a shotgun through my dealer in newcastle down to london £25 each for the dealers and £18.50 postage so £68.50 total,i think he used tnt not sure though.

Well its obvious none of you are with northumbria police Ive never heard so much **** in my life that a lost licence would just be replaced without question, I can just imagine the anti headline tomorrow STOLEN OR LOST GUN LICENCES TOTALLY IGNORED AND REPLACED WITHOUT QUESTION BY LOCAL PLOD (GET REAL) it obviously hasnt happened to you,,as for not being needed to buy ammo etc Id be careful mentioning that on this site unless you still want a dealer to go to tomorrow. And by the way lost and stolen licences do get reported to local dealers etc or they did when I worked for three of them.Too many internet answer searchers and dreamers offering duff advice on this site,I suggest you all chuck your firearms licences in the bin then report them lost or stolen after 7 days and see what happens.

Sorry Bignoel but, You need to report this straight away or the police can revoke the licence altogether and remove your guns, if someone finds it and tries to use it before they can put a stop on it youve got a problem if you have reported it ignore this, if not youll need to be on the ball, and if someone else hands it in before its reported itll cause you massive problems. A friend of mine got his stolen in a burglary which ended up revoked because it should have been locked away with his guns and not on the kitchen bench.

Some idiot recently told people that BERETTA chokes fit hatsans as well, they do indeed screw in but then your barrels blow up,Personally I would stick to franchi chokes,theres plenty used franchis around to be able to find the correct chokes.

Full and ex Full means tight and tighter shot pattern making closer shots a bit more difficult,if your doing ok with it stick with it, it will make you a better shot in the long run and improve your accuracy,the closer the target the tighter your shot pattern will be.If your struggling to hit up close you could also opt to get the chokes lapped out to say half and three quarter to widen up your shot pattern at closer range targets.

YHPM.

Youll find that it eventually opens by itself with time, but I know what you mean by the final bit to eject the cartridge, my grandson puts the open barrels on his boot while pushing down on the stock with both hands to eject his,

We had a guy used to report us for the same, shot hitting the roof etc, he got an official warning off the police for wasting thier time when we set up a gas gun in the field behind his house and he called the police saying it was happening right now,for some reason we were never bothered again.

Ive used both sportsmatch and hawke no probs with either,

I would ring the FO back and tell him the guy he reccomended has failed to turn up now five times and you are now ready to ring BASC because of him enforcing the mentor ****,also find your nearest firearms club Im sure you could get a more experienced shooter to join you willingly.

A gunsmith could loosen either of the above guns or you could sit opening and closing for hours on end,loosening a gun is in theory reducing the lifespan as the smith has to start shaving lumps off to loosen it, it wouldnt be long before you were spending again to retighten, use is the best way with natural wear,youll find it wont take very long if your out even once a week.

My wife and I were on holiday with friends 18 month ago when my mate had a massive heart attack and nearly didnt get home,he ended up in hospital for ten days, six days unconcious in intensive care, and a tube had to be put up his artery to open the valve in his heart,anyway he wasnt insured and the travel company (thompson) arranged the home journey for him and his wife,but to eliminate thier risk a nurse had to travel with them, total cost to pay £11,900 including hospital charges etc,and that was from greece. The post office has always been good for us on insurance might be worth a look.
