Hi Blacksheep is the gun a Khan Arms and not a Revo duckblind?
Revo is owned by Kahn arms

It would seem to be a lot easier if you can apply first and then just do the deal part ex or whatever , i'll give them a ring and see what their policy is ,

So, I have decided i'm not really getting along with my my Remington 783 Varmint , it's an absoloute tack driver but very front heavy and quite unwieldy and i shoot in very rough country
So would like a shorter lighter rifle in the same calibre .223
I understand i need to do a 1 for 1 variation , But how does it work ? do i sell the rifle first and then apply ?

If you call in you can get clearance by telephone if the land is currently cleared by checking the national data base (which is carp but all they have). If you e mail you will have to send in a 686 form signed by the farmer. Paper trail rules.
Took your advice and phoned South Wales Firearms instead and they were very helpful , Land already cleared upto .243 on their database so i am good to get on with it .

Out on a farm i have permission to shoot on when the neighbouring farmer asks if i can do a bit for him ?, Great i think so I Just emailed the firearms dept with what i thought was a simple question , " Does a certain farm have Firearms clearance and if it does what calibre ? " (as i do not have an open licence)
I received a phonecall within half an hour asking me if i had permission to shoot there (i do now ) and then telling me i had to submit a full permission form just to find out ! , surely it would make sense to just tell me yes or no and i can then ask the police to clear it if necessary.
Anybody have experience of this with Dyfed Powys ?

Just to drag up an old thread ,
I thought i would give this a go with a slight twist and use Donkey hoof as my mates 2 have just had theirs trimmed .
I have no idea what horse hoof clippings smell like but can assure people that Donkeys hoof trimmings do indeed smell evil , like *** in fact !
So have brewed up a few litres to try , if my terriers reaction to it is anything to go by it should work fine , will report back after testing .

Anybody have problems with Remington 783 .223 magazine feed ? mine keeps trying to load 2 rounds at once , its a real pain , caused me to lose a follow up shot last night while i sorted the jam out.
I'm hoping theres an easy fix rather than go through the whole warranty thing

20 weeks for a grant , Dyfed Powys .

Sounds like they are moving the goal posts again ! Dyfed powys were still talking about a mentor condition when i phoned them recently . there should be a national straightforward way to sort this I.E. a recognised training course for rifle handling or something .
-
Just out of interest did you have to have a mentor for the 243 ?
-
I use a kettle full of boiling water poured around the rim , you get enough expansion to crack the bead off then using the usual methods , have never failed doing it this way .

The range will be in Senghenydd near Caerphilly, and the final forms etc have been signed. The club will eventually (so I've been told) have 600 mtr targets. There are also plans for clay pigeon shooting, black powder shooting, running boar, NV shooting and Ladies Days.
The club of course will take time to get everything up and running, and the more members he gets, the more money can be ploughed back into the range. I'm looking forward to joining when it's opened.
Nice one cheers

Hi sorry don't know anything about those calibers but would be interested to know any details about a new range close to home , cheers
-
No opinions ? , maybe i had better just buy a Howa !
-
New gun time and going to be getting a .223 , have narrowed it down to a Remington 783 Varmint or a Browning A bolt , can't make up my mind
anybody with experience with either , comments / opinions welcome .
Cheers
-
Thanks .

Just bought one of these , seems like a good bit of kit but lacking in UK fox calls , the icotec download site does not really have what i am looking for
Does anybody know where i can download Fox mating calls or tried and tested similar that i can use ?
Cheers
-
Just looking on the Wildcat site , seems a pretty cost effective solution .

.223 is wearing one on the recommendation of the PW massive, very well built and can interchange it onto the .17 in a few moments.
Which bits did you need to buy to make it interchange ? ,
Cheers

The menotoring thing has been removed now as part of guidance. Speak to BASC. Do not withdraw application. Ask for answers in writing as to why you need someone to vouch for your safety (you already have references for good character) and ask where has the requirement come from. He is trying it on. You have a need, a permission and a sensible starting caliber. I would be already penning my complaint to the PCC.
Do you have a link to the info on the mentoring thing? , i can't find anything online and have not heard about it
Thanks

Perhaps some cabinets are more desirable than the guns held within!
11 hours ago, Bobba said:Mine's above the skirting board with six anchor bolts into brick wall with socket set. (1930's property). I changed room / location 2 yrs ago and inspection included a 16 stone Bobby opening the door, getting a grip on either side of the cabinet, and trying to pull it off the wall. Passed with compliments. The Bobby said he's no longer surprised at the number of cabinets he pulls off the wall !!
Why would he open the door for extra leverage ? , if they manage to open the door the guns are nicked !!!! , that's not a fair test of security , if they want to test if they can pull it off the wall do it with the cabinet locked !
Its all rubbish anyway , cordless grinder and a pry bar and its over in seconds and the cabinet can stay on the wall !
