  7. gun storage

    in Guns & Equipment

    Posted

    hi all,

     

    i am lucky enough to have dropped on a cottage in the middle of the land i shoot that my landowner owns :good:

     

    the down side is that my gun cabinet will be installed in the cellar where it is slightly damp. I intend to raise the cabinet up off the floor by 6" or so with a rubber lining between the blocks, i will also buy some silica gel packs for the cabinet. The guns will be used almost daily so i will inspect regular. Shall i leave them in there bags too?

     

    Any other tips would be gladly accepted.

    i go out every saturday and sunday with the shotgun and a couple of week days with the rimmie with nv.

     

    i normally bulk buy my shells as not to be back and forth to the shop. if i work it out its probably around a slab of shells a month and 200 rounds.

     

    never go clay shooting though, i find it too boring. :yp:

     

    oh, also my wife thinks i only have one shotgun and one rimfire... :lol:

  19. 2 police land checks per person rule ?

    i have had 4 land clearances in the last year and not a thing said, :rolleyes:

    one of the permissions is split into 3 sections, they cleared all 3 sections for there max calibre, one section was cleared for .22lr but i dont shoot it as i dont think its safe enough for my liking :no: im even quite shocked they past it.. :oops:

     

    so im not sure on there routine for checking land.

     

    i now have an open ticket anyway so it dont effect me no more.

     

    Also, i was told by my flo that .17hmr is regarded the next calibre up from .22lr for reasons of power output and not calibre size even though the hmr is a more fragile round and much less chance of ricocats :huh:

    rapids are great guns, very accurate,shot count is good and all round quality is great. Theobens after care or help line is next to zero :blink:

     

    Only thing to look out for is the there very good guns for servicing and tuning, and you dont want one that has has tom,**** and harry messing around with :rolleyes:

     

    look out for worn screws and allen bolts in stock and reciever, also chrono the gun if possible if the owner is of untrusty or not well known :yes: you may find its above the 12ftlb limit and find yourself outside of the law.

     

    apart from that, if i where going back to airgunning from fac there the only gun i would buy.

     

    hope this helps. :good:

    i am truly stunned at this post. as someone else said, shame on you. you heartless, callous human being. to have thought something like that i would hope that you didnt have kids and if you do i am worried.

     

    i agree too, i know this is a open forum for members and we all have rights to say what we think but comments like who gives a **** :blink: should be kicked off the forum full stop. what a thought less, childish thing to say :hmm:
