Used, some slight wear, leather and canvas on wood.keys present £150 plus postage or I keep and convert to hold a McNab combo of rifle, shotgun and salmon rod!

Thanks for the advice everyone.

Not viable and yes £60 is extortionate. But more interested in whether this method proposed by this RFD is legal or my licence is at risk by following his instructions?

Just to be devils advocate, that is Pacel Force's policy? Not the actual legislation. However the receiving RFD seems to be flouting those rules asI am not a RFD, which sends alarm signals, is he using an ordinary Parcel Force collection service? Do we know the Legislation on the matter?

My local RFD wanted £60 for sending the weapon, including packaging. Receiving RFD states he could send Royal Mail with a label to avoid this cost, I pack gun hand it to Postie. "Write Strictly Addresse Only" and "don't add any indication there is a shotgun in the box".

Presumably because normally the people at the other end are also RFD licensed?

When you have a gun for sale, is it legal for a RFD who wants to purchase your shotgun to instruct Parcel Force / Royal Mail to collect weapon from you at your home, send you a copy of their RFD certificate and wire you the funds?

An interesting wall hanger for which no licence is required. I bought at auction where it was described as Swiss target rifle. barrel is not original and dog chewed a bit of the stock price £100, postage £22 uk

Looking for the above if anyone has one gathering dust.

No sign of a makers stamp anywhere.

I bought a random selection of shooting gear at auction and this gem of a cartridge bag was amongst it. It's a little worn, but intact and a testament to the maker- anyone know who that is? My curiosity was drawn to the leather patch which seems original, not a repair on the lower right side of the front....whats that for then? Doesn't seem like a repair and can't think why it would be needed to protect against wear at that particular point?

Hi I'll take this posted. Please PM payment details

Well if you were to find yourself in The Yorkshire Dales and wanted to get from A to B sticking to ancient footpaths you would find that you do not always know when you have entered a field with cattle in it until you round a corner or thicket and see them stood a few yards from you. Such is the nature of the terrain. That was the situation I found myself before the original post in and have found myself in at various times before. The "I wouldn't enter a field with cattle in it" replies might work in the flat counties but don't take the discussion forwards in terms of what to do for you and your dog when you find yourself in that situation. A lass was killed near here a couple of years ago and there were plenty of "Darwin Award" posts on the farmers Facebook groups. Maybe a sign would have saved her life?, If farmers want to stop anyone from using footpaths on their land, is putting cattle on it all they need to do? In the Highlands there are cattle with big horns wandering around the unfenced roads and villages presumably without any issues.

This might finish you off then....advice from the ramblers association " The countryside is an inspiring place to walk but it can also be little daunting when cows and bulls are grazing near your path. But the countryside is working environment and it's important to be mindful and respectful of farms and farm animals, particularly during spring when cattle are rearing their young. Here’s some advice from our experts on what do when walking near cattle: Do Stop, look and listen on entering a field. Look out for any animals and watch how they are behaving, particularly bulls or cows with calves Try to avoid getting between cows and their calves Be prepared for cattle to react to your presence, especially if you have a dog with you Move quickly and quietly, and if possible walk around the herd Keep your dog close, on a short lead, and under effective control Remember to close gates behind you when walking through fields containing livestock Report any frightening incidents or attacks to the landowner, the highway authority, the Health & Safety Executive (HSE), and also the police if it's of a serious nature Keep us informed of any problems you experience Don’t Don’t hang onto your dog if you are threatened by cattle - let it go as the cattle will chase the dog and not you Don’t put yourself at risk by walking close to cattle Don’t panic or run – most cattle will stop before they reach you; if they follow just walk on quietly Cattle on your path So what do you do when cattle are obstructing the path? Find another way, by going around the cattle. If cattle are blocking a path through a field, you’re well within your rights to find a safe way, away from the path to avoid them. You should then re-join the footpath as soon as possible – and when you consider it safe to do so. Find out more about walking near livestock by reading the Countryside Code and Scottish Outdoor Access Code."

OK, do I do the route first alone to check that there aren't cattle behind the group of trees or over that brow where yesterday there were none or send a drone ahead and check? I was half way across a 1/4 mile field on a well trodden footpath between my house and a place I'm moving out before the cattle came out of the mists. I'm surrounded by hills and fields here, sounds like I better drive into town and walk her among the dog **** in the park? What a sad time to be countryman! I've walked black labs for 40 years through fields of cattle and only had issues, for the last ten which makes me muse on whether it's because they are reared indoors more or breeds have changed here........ Maybe a I show more fear these days and they sense that.....

Seems to me to be a recent phenomenon but nowadays every time I walk through a field on a footpath with cows/bullocks in it, my adrenalin kicks in as they come racing over and display aggressive behaviour. I must have been half asleep on our morning walk at 5.30 am as I was mobbed by a her I hadn't noticed and my 6 month Lab bitch pup ran back the way we came and sat watching whilst they got within a few feet of her whilst simultaneously crowding me as I went back to her. I waved the lead around and made manly shouts then circumvented the field with a footpath, only to find myself in a field with a cow and her calves who seemed less interested. Whats the best way to deal with cows when you have a dog with you? Make it sit outside the field, proceed alone and then callout to you when you have reached the far side? My pup will sit and wait no problem, but she wasn't brave enough to come to me this morning. Apple Watch shows my heart rate through the roof lol

4 Gun Cabinet with keys for the twin locks keyed alike. Collect near Skipton £60

I'm moving into rented accommodation for a short time and want to be fairly low key about my shooting hobby. I'm clearing my gun collection and will be down to a Sxs 12G and a CZ455 .22LR. I haven't had the tape measure out yet, but I was wondering if the police would accept me using a break down cabinet? Ok for a the SxS I'm sure, but would they accept me getting the screw driver out on the rifle to separate the action from the stock?

SOLD subject to collection

Thanks Nubile for linking my anonymous Pigeonwatch sellers profile with my phone number. I am now easily contactable by Antis and it's only one more easy step to google me and find out where I live.

My perception is that you were less than respectful towards me on one of my previous for sale posts and so I'm not minded to let you have this bargain. It's still for sale if anyone wants to collect this weekend.
