£45 at my surgery and took around 3 weeks. The letter from South Wales Firearms Dpt. said the pro-forma MUST be completed in order to process the renewal. On reading this thread it seems different authorities sing from different song sheets.
Forget what mine cost exactly a couple of years ago (was before the most recent changes in guidance) but surgery had a stated list of charges for this sort of thing hgv medical, private referrals, prescriptions etc but at the time SGC/FAC letters weee not on the list and it seemed they didn’t really know what they were charging for. I suspect this may changed…….

I may forget my wife’s birthday but I am unlikely ever to forget when my licences expire.
Don’t your force send you reminders?

The FEO called me and I used the phone to take a video of my cabinet and the serial numbers of my guns. I only went to the surgery to pay the fee.
Wow interesting

I recently renewed my SGC, it was done via What's app and my local Surgery charged me £25 which I thought reasonable.
What’s app was that the police or the surgery using what’s app? 😬

New changes mean the entry route is potentially shorter too changes to trailer tests to free up more examiner capacity for a start, side benefit if you passed your test post 97 is you can tow a bigger trailer now

It’s not just hgv drivers they are struggling with, had an email from a supplier a 20ft container from Far East to U.K. in 18 months has gone from $1500 to over $10000
suplly chains have been made ultra lean with no spare capacity the biggest worry 2 years ago was a crash on a motorway
the govt are looking to change the liscencing model to free up testing capacity and allowing direct entry to class 1

Be aware that any Class C "legacy" rights on your Driving Licence now, apparently, no longer have validity for commercial Class C driving.
Doesn’t that just mean you need a drivers CPC for commercial?

Most clay grounds have an 11/6 but many insist none SGC holders have a “lesson” so you have to ask at any ground oddly I don’t think I have ever been to a ground that has asked to see my SGC 🤔

Any idea on prices? And COVID restrictions? I’ll try and give them a call in the week.

So can you still shoot clays there or just airsoft and bouncy castle?

Helpful lol .......

hardly rocket surgery.....

Monitors that failed quality control got sent to the tv production line.... there are lots of reason for these issues but a decent monitor on a decent connection Display per or HDMI should be clear and clean if not gaming the response rate is less of a concern. Calibrating grey scale helps loads

Cheap slip on, after having unscrewed the front sight.

did the usual probe porting and changed the transfer port seal also removed the felt filter.
upped the power to 11.2 ftlbs and with a bit of action polishing they shoot pretty dam good for a cheap rifle
the magazine add on is basic but it works.
i use em round the sheds for ferals and rats,luv em cos they so light to carry.
sounds ideal Just need to find one now and probably a chrono to make sure it’s all legal..... -
V70 of a certain spec are getting a bit cult but V40 what year? The early ones were a joint venture with Mitsubishi

If you need parts FRF Swansea does a discount scheme “C3” I think is the reference for owners club members 😉 once you know what parts are needed best give them a call this week incase they have to close for “firebreak“ next Week 😒

They are noisy, though, so he will need a moderator. They aren't difficult to strip down and plenty of online stuff on improving the action and getting the power up to nearer 11ftlbs.
Recommend one? A cheap one....Are they in need of threading/screw cutting or can you use a slip on mod?

That’s plenty then
he might enjoy the tuning after buying and sorting the rat problem after all not many things to do at the moment in wales ........... or sell it on again... he asked to borrow my HW95 but I’m not keen really better buys a used co2 and if he enjoys it (hasn’t had one since he was a lad) might get into it

So even though a driven shoot is part an ‘organised sporting event’ , if the guns are from outside Wales, thats their days shooting scuppered?
Is there anything in place to recompense the guns and the estate?If the estate is in a local lockdown area yes (not sure there are many sporting estates in the valleys tho)
chances of being stopped are low but as I’m considering selling some Guns not going on a driven shoot, the police will know when I sell a gun and where I live so unless buyer lives in the same county seems an easy target also I’m considering a commission sale and preferred RFD is not in same county (as there are none)
BASC called to advise I contact my licensing dept for a reference to travel.

I don’t get that....even an organised sporting event is ‘recreational’.
Basically if it work, pest control, beating etc you can travel but if it’s for enjoyment you can’t so on a driven a shoot the beater can come from outside the lockdown area the guns can’t
-
BASC released some guidance today that basically allows pest control and beating as a “reasonable excuse” but recreational shooting isn’t
no reply to my specific issue tho.....
