Hi Is an load bearing internal wall ok to use then? Vulture

Hi Has any body on here ever made a silencer for a shottie,i was thinking of having a go at putting one on a Baikal 20g single barrell,I have access to a Lathe,Milling machine,welder etc,Whats inside a silencer? baffles sound absorbing packing, Any ideas Cheers Vulture

Hi Yes Paddy Bowe is a excellent FEO,saw him a few months ago,5 weeks from start to finish and 6 weeks for my Wifes SGC. Vulture

Hi the trick of running a bead of weld around the bearing is the sudden warming up of the bearing breaks what ever bond is holding it stuck and when it cools right down the bearing actually is slightly smaller that what is was to start with,i've done this loads of times with bearings on engines etc and it worked with the choke although it ruined the choke,the barrel was undamaged. I don,t why steel gets smaller after a heating but it does, are the any metalurgists on here who could explain this. Cheers Vulture

Hi all, After trying the suggestions you have posted and still no joy i decided to use an old trick i learned from an old guy i used to work with,he would run a bead of weld round a bearing that was well and truly stuck,allow it to cool off and they would pop out easily. it was a bit of a job to get the weld in the choke but it worked ,came with no fuss,ruined the choke but barrel is fine new choke fitted with oil,all done. Thanks Vulture.

Hi can anyone offer advice on how to remove a stuck choke,I have tried a little local heat with a hairdrier and dribbled oil in as best as i can but no joy,any ideas anyone. Cheers Vulture Ps the gun is a 20g Browning gold.

Hi No just want all the guns on boths certs as we are sharing one cabinet. Vulture

Hi my wife has applied and got her SGC and despite telling the FEO that we would be sharing the gun cabinet and guns there is no mention of the guns on her certificate,should they be on there, also when buying a gun the seller fills the relevent part of the cert but who fills in the second cert? never been in this situation with shared guns before so no idea how to sort. Many thanks Vulture.

Hi Bloody typical :look: i did'nt come on here for a week as i have been pottering about the garden and in the shed and i miss out on this , I'm in Norwich,availible any time, and have a small permission in Hevingham. Gutted! Vulture

Hi I have also never had any police on my permission which is 8 miles from Norwich,never even seen a dog walker in the area. Cheers Vulture

Mungler I don't understand what you are trying to say, what has a forged possport got to do with a SGC Yours confused.com

Hi thanks for all of your replies,We are still no closer to finding a suitable countersignatory,My wife has loads of friends who have known her well over two years but they are just everyday people who are not suitable(or antigun). Thanks.

Hi Thanks for the replies, The Boss one is out because i'm the boss!, I don't understand the the forged passport one could you explain that one please.The Doctor here charge £30 and can take up to 8 weeks to sign plus she has'nt see him for years.

Hi I,m new to the world of shooting having held my SGC for just a couple of months now and now my wife wants to join in with her own SGC etc, The problem she has is there is no one suitable to countersign her photo and application form , rest of the forms etc is all done apart from this simple thing,She has friends who have known her for more than two years but are not suitable ie not teachers etc. What do we do? Many thanks.

Ok thanks for the replies,are there any contact details that anyone could give me for these clubs. Cheers

Hi Apart from churchills and Mid norfolk shooting school are there any other clubs in Norfolk preferable near to Norwich. Many thanks.

Hi I have a Miroku MK70 and i would like to know if there is any advantage in having extended chokes over the normal ones fitted at the moment,Gun is used 50/50 for clay and game, Thanks.

WAHAY Got SGC today, exactly two weeks after FEO visit. Now for some serious spending , Well done Norfolk Constabulary.

Hi Just applied for my first SGC and i have a couple of questions, firstly can i assume that if a FEO visits your home you have passed all of their proceedures ,checks etc and once they have checked your cabinet the cert is posted. roughly after the visit how low does it take them to process and post the cert, I,m in Norfolk by the way. The FEO came a week and a half after i posted my application and its now been a week and a half since then. Also i would like an opinion on a shotgun i,m interested in ,its Miroku MK70, are they OK. Many thanks Mark
