Back to air rifles after a 65 year lay off so what is currently what means I'm hardly qualified to comment. With one exception. The complexity of modern PCP guns is such that just make sure that whatever you're looking at is as per (apart from use) it left the factory and has not been 'adjusted', shall we say, by a well meaning but unqualified amateur.

Somebody had a clear out or re-inventing the wheel:

Thank you very much for your help, it is greatly appreciated. I had previously spoken with Rowan Engineering but knocked the discussion on the head rather than waste their time owing to the local Firearms antics, but have emailed again now that I'm up and running to see if they've made any progress with a .25 version for the FX Crown.

Tried email but informed that it could not be delivered. Have checked that I sent with the address that you gave me. Will try to sort it later as I have a date with grandson and the Donkey Sanctuary.

Thanks again. Just a tad unsure. By, 'John might do them', do you mean might make them or might order from CARM? Cheers.

Many thanks. The weather has held me up - it's only in the last day or so that the farm has taken the plough to the fields - I've got as far as checking the velocity/energy of the new rifle but still need to find out which is the most accurate pellet/s out of a fair sized slack handful and didn't fancy doing it in a quagmire. I did toy with the idea of buying a CARM until I read the small print that you have to wait 60 days before querying an order which has not arrived. I don't suppose anyone has bought from them that could comment?

I bet you were told more than once that you were too young and it'll never last. How wrong can you get!

Because it seems like it to me is it the case that for an FX Crown Mk2 .25 FAC the choice is Hobsons in the name of CARM?

As we're informed that these roads and the associated technology are perfectly safe ,I'm sure any minor glitches will be resolved and travel on them even safer when vehicles have no need for a driver.

Hearty congratulations. Don't overdo it though, you need to keep something back for next year.

You could but as you're not ill it may not go down too well if the surgery is busy with sick folk. Best have a word of explanation with the receptionist - just hope you haven't got one of those 'you won't get passed me' gorilla types.

If you've not already sounded him/her out, it may just be beneficial to get your GP's opinion beforehand. Although he/she can't make the decision, that opinion will go a long way in assisting plod to make theirs. Smarty points all being well if you can say that you've got this info' to show that you don't want to be wasting their (plods') time. Good luck.

Have to confess that I'm biased never having liked them. Are we set for another 'Post Office' as it were with the powers that be saying that they're perfectly safe but with the hands on workers saying that they're downright dangerous?

Out of fairness to the OP, although it wasn't quite the same, you're never going to guess who won the HLPACA for what can be described as a precedent for the action described by the OP and taken against him.

Understand what you're saying about the 'probation'. Your offence couldn't have been too serious - my previous 'three months' doesn't come into it - but the 'assault' word remains the iffy bit. Yep, see the FEO and be as upfront and honest as you possibly can.
