  9. decent LED torch

    in Airgunners

    Posted

    My local tool shop are doing led lenser p7 torches for £19.99, i think it an xmas promotion independent tool shop are running at the moment. I dont think it is just this shop, as there is video ad running in the shop and coloured advertising leaflets on the counter it must be a national thing. This is a very good torch at this money.

  13. What watch to buy?

    If you are thinking of buying a watch it is worth waiting until the xmas sales i got a omega from the omega shop last xmas for half price. There are plenty of bargains to be picked up at that time of year. If you cant wait tag have shops at outlet malls such as mcarthur glen, new watches but last years models, healthy savings to be made.

  17. Buying an Air rifle moderator (a recent experience)

    in General Shooting Matters

    Posted · Edited by guinty1

    Sound Moderators
    13.71 Sound moderators are subject to
    certificate control as “items designed to
    reduce the noise or flash of a firearm”. Sound
    moderators for .22 rimfire rifles are often
    used for shooting game or vermin, and in the
    case of the latter might facilitate more
    effective pest control. Sound moderators for
    full-bore rifles are of questionable
    effectiveness in reducing disturbance to quarry
    but can confuse them by diffusing the
    directional report of a rifle. They may though
    be appropriate for reducing hearing damage
    to the shooter, or to reduce noise nuisance,
    for example for deer control in urban parks.
    The applicant will be expected to demonstrate
    a “good reason” for noise reduction before
    authority is granted. It should be noted that
    sound moderators on air weapons or section
    2 shot guns are not considered to be
    component parts.     Chief officers of police
    should also be aware of the case of Broome v
    Walter (1989) where it was found that an
    integral sound moderator, that is one that
    is part of the firearm, does not require
    separate authorisation.
    This is taken from the Home Office, Firearms Law Guidance to police 2002


    And below is taken from 1968 firearms act.

    57 Interpretation.

    (1)In this Act, the expression “firearm” means a lethal barrelled weapon of any description from which any shot, bullet or other missile can be discharged and includes—

    a, any prohibited weapon, whether it is such a lethal weapon as aforesaid or not; and

     

    b, any component part of such a lethal or prohibited weapon; and

     

    c, any accessory to any such weapon designed or adapted to diminish the noise or flash caused by firing the weapon;

     

    and so much of section 1 of this Act as excludes any description of firearm from the category of firearms to which that section applies shall be construed as also excluding component parts of, and accessories to, firearms of that description.

  21. What can I buy in America

    Just out of interest I just had a look at the hmrc/border agency Web Page titled "offensive weapons: imports control". There is a sentence within this document that states " importing component firearms parts is prohibited unless you have a license for the firearm that the parts are intended for."

    There is also contact details for the hmrc department that deals with this, so my advice is contact them directly for the correct advice.

    If you are going to answer this guys question it might be useful if you were to qualify your answer rather than just saying yes or no. If you are saying no at least post the reason why. If there are rules or laws that cover what you can and can not import post the link to the government website that covers this so the guy can make an informed decision.
