stubby

talk about resurrecting an old post, but found this on friday whilst metal detecting in my woods, it's the head for that casing, thankfully the fuse on tip has gone,

cheers kory, I reckon I can do that, the landlord is my sister so shouldn't be a problem

a few off you may remember my post about splitting up with the wife and moving my guns/cabinet, I've now got a flat in romford,checked it out yesterday and not a solid brick wall anywhere, unless I start removing drywall which I doubt they will let me do, so my thoughts have turned to the attic, could easily bolt it to the rafters, anyone else in romford that's done this ? any ideas if it's deemed ok ?

with the ruger, I do think people don't try enough different ammo's, when I had mine, I tried my eleys and got **** grouping, so bought aa cart of each different ammo the shop had, around 8 different brands, found one that was spot on, different rifles like different ammo

I doubt it would get messy I think I'll just move cabinet and guns then contact the FO, thanks for all the replies

ok, I'll set the scene here, me and the missus not getting on well, and a split looks on the cards, but have shotguns and firearms, so do it get in touch with my FO, tell him, which I wonder if the plod would remove guns from me thinking I might do something silly or sell all my guns to shop, get little back on them, inform police and wait till I'm settled again, get FO around for a visit and if all ok, start buying again or simply take guns/cabinet with me, I know the landlady of new property will ok my guns (it's my sister) and then inform the FO of the move and get an inspection or store guns with shop for unknown amount of time and suffer a big bill

I like them so much I have two, bought a yildiz o/u and then saw a yildiz sxs so just had too great for carrying around the woods, small enough not to catch on anything, yet still quite pokey guns have taken pigeon with them as well as squirrel/rabbit etc

so look at the GDK stuff, yes there are some horror stories out there, but mine works great

yup, use the keys rather than hotwiring

get a 10 shot mag....or two, I have three, can get hetic sometimes,lol

surely that'll defeat the point of having infra red night vision won't it attaching my home made unit to a rimfire, I could removed numerous rabbits all sitting in close proximity to each other no problem fix same unit on my shotgun and ...........BANG one rabbit, the rest have run just stick a red torch on your barrel

I'll agree with stonepark, I tried loads of defenders, then order the above blue and white putty stuff, made up one set about 6 months ago and still using them, plus have enough left to make another 2 pairs

I used something like that but homemade for a few years, placed close to a hedge it worked great without any additional nets, might even buy that, easy and quick to set up/take down

unlike davey,, I'd say to look at the GKD ones, never had a spot of trouble with mine, if you phone them up via the ebay sales, you can get better prices or deals, mine came with a free remote control and compared to another plot holders trap that cost 3 times as much, mine never broke a clay, but his broke loads and this one, at the end of the video, my gdk is on the other side of pond, but remote control worked flawlessly

although I have a 12 bore for squirrel bashing in our woods, I still prefer either of my 410's, have both a sxs and o/u from yildiz, great for carrying around the woods, and not so much need for hearing protection

shame your so far, I have 5 tyres here 215 65 R16 AT loads of tread left, in fact the spare was never used £100

just because someone has read the GL, does not make them an " Authorised Persons" having permission from the landowner makes you an Authorised Persons

just had a read of the other post as had not seen it, and feral pigeons were brought into the argument, funnily enough I shoot them every night of the week on behalf of london underground, I'm solely sub contracted to them for feral pigeon control, and I'm allowed by law in that instance as I'm a full time pestie, to not only remove/cull the pigeons, but also remove nests,eggs and fledglings, yet if I walk outside of any london underground structure and do the same, I'm in breach of the GL, just because it can be done in one scenario, does not mean it can be done everywhere, people need to start reading the GL and understanding it, each time they go shooting it may be different

I know how you feel fenboy, I was asked to join a group online as I'm a full time pestie, I spent the day looking through posts on people shooting wood pigeon in their back garden for crop protection, and correctly giving the advice above, apart from being slated by the posters, I was banned from the group within 24hrs, seems some shooters like to bury their heads in the sand and hope all the bad things go away, these are the people that give shooters a bad name, I'll add that some of the posts were made by the admin and group moderators, so it's all levels

had my visit today, the cert is getting pushed through top priority as I'm a pest controller, everything looks good so will just wait and see how long it takes to get here

just got off the phone to them, as my sec 1 was not on the temp cert they sent me yesterday, we don't have you down as owning one they say ?????? as I start giving them the gun details, they read off the serial number themselves ? so you have got the details I say, oh yeah they reply, we added that gun to your shotgun cert details by mistake ???????? they really need to sort themselves out

so get this, I phone up and ask why the sec1 shotgun is not on the temp ticket, and they say, it's because you don't own one yet, you have the permission too, but as yet you have not acquired one ?? so I say, SORRY!!!!!! I sent you all the details when purchased, as did the shop where it was bought, so start giving her the details,serial number etc, she then reads off the rest of serial number before I can give it?? so you have got the details I say ?? yes she say's, but it's not recorded on your firearms ticket, someone here has added it to you shotgun certificate details new temp cert on it's way, plus a note to get the cert sorted within a week, I won't hold my breath

I've only ever had the subs on the ticket, told them at the start I'd never use target ammo, so in effect, get rid of my subs, cant use the rimfire at all, or the section 1, I'll get on the phone

just received a temporary firearms licence as mine runs out today, essex police did this with my shotgun cert last year but it was only valid for a month and the full cert arrived within that month, but my temporary firearms has an expiry in november!!!!!! hope it dont take that long, anyway some wording on the covering letter is baffling me, maybe you guys can shed some light on it the permit only shows my rimfire rifle, sound mod and ammo, not my section 1 shotgun and the letter states we would advise you that any expanding ammunition you have in your possession should be lodged with a registered firearms dealer or other duly authorised person as of the expiry date of your current firearm certificate. this ammunition is classified under section 5 and cannot be added to a temporary permit as we recognise that this will leave you without the use of your possessed section 1 firearms for quarry shooting etc we will make every effort to expedite your renewal application and our enquiry officers are being requested to treat your application as a matter of urgency so does this mean until it's all sorted, the section 1 needs to stay in the cabinet ? is it even legal for me to have it here ? and what expanding ammo do they mean? I have subs for the rimfire and shotgun carts, that's it??

here's a not too good picture with wings (my bees)
