i did say this to her but she said i need some of the land vetted and that can take a couple of months and then the chief will have to stamp it but before that it has to go to admin to run the paperwork then to finance to cash the cheque then over to her office in a different town then she will see it. she said to get the SGC 1st so that i have something to bang with then whilst having fun with that i should apply for FAC as time would fly whilst having fun. if i put on the ticket that i have just done the SGC they would date them the same so next time it would be done together but i was to allow 3 months for renewal. i dont want to rock the boat to much but its taking the pee really.

alrighty.....sorted..sort of. shotgun not a problem but have to wait for the chief to rubber stamp and then for them to send ticket out, can take a month. FAC. got told i should have applied at the same time as she couldn't see a problem other that the cabinet wouldn't be big enough to take a scope rifle. that will be sorted. I asked about a roaming ticket and got told that they is no roaming ticket anymore as all land needs to be proofed. only people that can use a gun almost anywhere is a professional shooter as in a pest controller or deer hunter type. all the land i want the gun on are more or less ok anyway and have been given the all clear. wish i had applied at the same time now. oh well i will just play with the pigeons, crows and honkers for a bit i think.

or bamboo skewers they look like straw and as cheap as chips.

In the Worcester ton centre there use to be one, durrents i think it was called, i use to use it years ago and it was a good place but have been back there a while ago and they seam to be a bit snobbish now.. i also seam to remembering reading something about a place opening opposite a school. i found it on a goggle search a little while ago.

I have been shooting shotgun for quite a while with friends under there guidance. this i can do without a SGC as long as im next to the holder of the SGC with his shotgun. i think that's right anyway.hehe. the said friend now cant go out shooting due to other commitments. because of this i have applied for my own SGC. only reason i had not applied before is i was put on anti depressants to make me sleep at night. broke my back up so was put on high dose painkillers that stopped me sleeping so the antidepressants were given to try and make me sleep. this didn't work so a new drug was given and all other tablets stopped. due to this reason i have not tried to apply as i didn't know if i could or not. if i want to keep shooting shotguns i have to get my own. reason i have said about the FAC is i want one as i want/need one as i have 2600 acre of shooting in one area that has game birds on it so no banging guns until November and i have another 2 farms that have either race horses or pet horses on and the owners don't want shotguns or banging guns to upset the horse's or riders but the rabbits are just out of reach with a 12ftlb air rifle so a FAC air rifle would have sorted out the problem but now im thinking a LR or HMR would sort the problem out as well. as the FLO is coming out on Monday i thought i could ask what the situation would be on a ticket or better still a roaming ticket. I was told that you don't get if you don't ask so i thought i would ask. lol. that's why the question about the FAC and the law on whether i could or could not shoot someone else's rifle when i have no ticket. Last thing i want to do though is get anyone in trouble. so i will talk about the shooting of shot guns and that i have been shooting for a fair few years with them but i will say that i need a FAC for vermin and pest control as my friend that use to do it with me accompanying to learn can no longer shoot. can the FLO put a restriction on the shotgun i have. i seam to remember that someone one here could only use a two shot for a while. I want a 3 shot auto, browning gold in camo duro-touch to be truthful. hehe. see i shill have a back problem but the cartridge cycling or the auto take the kick out the gun and means i don't suffer nextday. Oh my! reading this back, it looks like im talking myself into a hole. Piggin eck. panicking now.

It's hores that at stabled so its the noise thats the problem with it as i dont want to spook them with the bang. i have had a fair few with the PCP i use at the moment but there just the ones off the edges of the long runs. i have a meeting monday with FLO so i'll ask but being not so coy when talking i know i'll put my foot in it.lol. right off to mount a cabinet.................................................... .....not that sort of mount..........hehe

glad i asked the questions now, thanks for the input gents. I have been shooting air for about 30 yrs i'm out using the AA S410 .177 at the moment due to his, and wife's, selfishness in having a baby. it's just out of order. how do the FLO expect one to get experience in the shooting for FAC's if you cant use fire one unless you have a ticket. i have 2600 acres to shoot on at the moment, it is all approved at the moment, different county to me but still aproved. it's a shoot so no banging unless you pay. i'll stick to the air rifle as the pellets are cheaper than rimmy rounds.hehe. on two other permission's the problem is that the rabbits are in a little strip of land, 200 yrds long and with house on one side and stables on other. as there both just up the road i tend to just pop in on passing. I guess what i should really do is long net them both but its not the same now is it. I'll speak to the FLO when she comes out and tell her that i have been out loads over the last 4 years watching and learning about the back stops, public footpaths and safe shooting. thanks again gents.

Just a quick one. Can I go out shooting with a friend and use his rifle whilst he is there. I have no licence but waiting for things to be sorted. so when the FLO comes out to see me can i say i have been using a friends HMR with his guidance or is this a no no. I dont want a HMR or LR yet but i do want an FAC air rifle asap. i cant shot with a rimmy on 2 of my permissions as one has birds that the game keeper dosnt want spooking and the other has horses and i dont want to upset them. same goes for a shotgun as the bang is a no no. so as im waiting for the FLO to come and have a chat about my SGC i thought i would drop the hint about an FAC air rifle. I want it for rabbits, carrion and pigeons. the birds i can decoy in but not always get a pin on them and the rabbits are always just that little to far for a 12Flb. or am i best to say nothing about my friends gun and ask how long i have to wait befor i can apply as i want it as a roaming ticket. thanks for your input guys. regards Phil

wing supply.com Have a look in the hides. I use the dog house for decoying with air rifle. they also have another one that is good for the over head shots. about £70 to your door for the doghouse but they do a cheaper one. just remember to wear black inside and also a face vail helps. when the sun is out you dont get lite up inside light an argos tent. I will be ordering my new one from walmark thou as there the only ones i can find in hardwood green. regards Phil.

i spoke to magtame on ebay and he will sell them for £20 plus a few pound postage so its not worth messing around. thanks the same guys. Kind regards Phil.

bird table in the garden, either one with a roof or an open flat one. put wild bird feed on it and add some maize and extra wheat. the woodies will come to it. the as aboave side. upstairs windows, there not there just to look out of.hehe, works every time. tree rats come to it as well. :o

I made a universal one that also controls my lamp. I got a speed controller from Maplins (£15 IIRC) and a project box. Looks the part and will not draw much current from the battery so you don't lose magnet time or lamp time. Could up load some photos? John What was the kit John? Just finished the magnet but rund a little to fast. Phil

Gloucester. Anyone heard/see the FLO latley. just wondering if there speeding up at all or do i wait 10weeks then start Phoning! thanks Phil.

B)

This was the last i had from him. As i said, i made my own in the end for a tenner so saved the money. I really hope you sort it mate. Kind regards Phil.

I was thinking about it but then funds didnt allow it, he PM'ed me a few times and dropped the price. he said it was the last one. then i saw he was banned so i made my own. I think it is the same guy that sells them on ebay..unless there someone else from Bristol area that makes and sells them and used the same photos. i did ask him if he would be at the frampton game fair but i cant remember if he said yes or no. some thing about a new batch rings a bell. still feel for you mate as nothing hurts more than a ripe off merchant. kind regards Phil.

Right, finished the rotary, just need to finish the flappers. the rotary. one length of b'n'q 20mm tube for the pole and the arms are two 6mm i/d alui tubes with two 6mm o/d alui bars. if you look through there pile you might be lucky and get the tubes and bars to fit. then i spun up some bits to i could add some locking screws to hold the arms in place. the motor is a 60rpm one from hong kong. ordered it on the wedensday and it was delivered on the monday off center shaft so i had to rework things a little but a piece of 50mm plastic plumbing tube and an endcap was all that was needed. I used a few ideas from other makes on the market but as im making only for myself, no one else, then there's no need for me to worry about the copy rights, besides copy is a form of flattery i have always been told. yes i have had loads and loads of my ideas copied and used.hehe bits i have copied are the 3 tied rings on the hyper lite and the adjustable hights for the arms of someone elses. I will try and remember to take a few photos and put them up. the motor and battery worked out well. i was given a duff battery out of a power pack, a few charges and dis-charges helped that one. i charged the battery and then put the rotory on for 5 hours after which the barrery still read 12.6v. well chuffed now for some packers. thanks all for your input and help. In all i spent about £25 so not a real saving but i made it. sorry i had to imitate in the end.lol.

Not true, our colchester student can beat it any day of the week Nice little project though. Sorry to say, but the head stock is way to long to fit any barrel through for threading! thats just one of many problems encountered with the student. Must say its a good lathe to learn on though. Not my type of lathe i must say , but as the saying sometimes go, a lathe is a lathe really. Cheers Replay Sorry but i dont like th aM7 either. there like pigeons..........common......and to bl00dy expensive for parts. Boxford AUD or the derbyshire watch makers for the finer things in life. Just need some room for a mill now as i dont like milling on a lather with angle plate. just finished my magnet on the boxford.

Could b if i had a bit more info. a link to the same item and a price. regards Phil.

Because its not the same and I don't think i could find one for as cheap as a fiver. I have a shed/workshop at the bottom of the garden so as long as i can find motor speed info and such then it's only a case of cutting a few bits of metal and buzz them with the welder. I have just ordered a motor with a planet gear box on it so that means no welding at all, just tubes and a few nuts and bolt. hardest bit will be the clamp for the arms but then i have a lathe just sitting there so Innovation not Imitation...........lmao

Just went a got one of these so thanks for that. Just got one of these as well. I will make two as its just the same whether it's one or two. and i will see how they go. Going to make a few other bits as well but I'm not saying until finished just in case there pants.lol. I also took every Ariel i could as well. there just right for bouncer. i will just tape them onto bamboo canes for now as the wheat is still up. I like making things.lmao. thanks for all your help gents. Kind regards Phil.

Better than most on the same site but cheaper. read the write up about it. Kind regards Phil.

What battery do you use and how long do you get out of it please. soory about all the questions but i want to try and get it right 1st time

Dose the motor get hot after a few hours of use. i have a Hitachi here that the 12v battery is shot so if it doesnt get hot then it might be a go'er is i can find a way to mount it. i also have two 3v black and decker screwdrivers as well and there the right shape to use pipe clamps with. if i was to use a wiper motor which one, i was thinking about the waterproof side of things as well.

I have had a quick look through and didn't find much. I have time and the workshop but not the money to go buy a rotary so making is my only option.....unless someone has one for sale at the right price please. Question. what is the best wiper motor to use please i have been toying with one from maplins as there geared right down but the £15. i might be able to get a better prce at the scrapper but i need to know what is the best motor to look for. what sort of RPM are we looking for as well. I know its been done to death but i have looked in the search. thanks for you time gents kind regards Phil
