That’s a lot to pay for the privilege of getting pulled by the law.

I have recently purchased a Winchester SX3 as a result of some videos on YouTube. What a cracking gun and I had some of best scores until a couple of weeks ago when it broke. The bolt was locked forward, and would not come back. I had to wait until I got home to check it. There is a small wedge shaped piece of black metal that locates on the bottom slide. It is like a piece of a jigsaw that slots into place and is held there by a tiny pin. The pin had sheared off and the wedge became loose. It wasn’t until I looked at other forums that mine is not an isolated case. I contacted Winchester in the States but they just referred me to dealers in this country. However if anyone is in the same situation, fix it yourself with Gorrila glue. Much stronger than the original tiny pin and saved a fortune in replacing the bottom breech block slide. Hope this helps others in the same situation.

This air rifle has now been sold. Thanks for looking.

Hi, A bit late but is the Larsen still for sale. Thanks, Steve

If your landlord will not let you bolt the cabinet or securicord or gun clamp to the wall, would he let you secure it to the floor on its back. Good coach bolts to a wooden floor or expanding bolts through a concrete floor should suffice. Lift up a piece of carpet in a convenient place, out of sight and job done, and when you move, no holes in the wall to fill in.

Hi Silver Fox, Are the chokes still for sale. Thanks, Hopefulcatcher

You will either be granted or not granted a certificate. There are no restrictions, unlike a firearm certificate, placed on a shotgun certificate. There are only 4 standard conditions, sign it, keep the gun secure, notify if the gun gets lost or stolen, and notify a change of address. Like the others have said put your application in and wait for the interview with the FEO. He should have an honest discussion with you but he will not be able to tell you whether you will be successful, but from what you have said I would think you stand a better than average chance of it being granted. Good luck.

Most forces work around a 60 day time frame, that is from the time they receive your application to the time the certificate is sent to you. You do not say when your FEO visited you, but I would expect your certificate to arrive within about three weeks of his visit. If there had been any problems, this would have been discussed at the visit. Good luck.

Thanks for your help F C. One more thing please. Can I use the old Ely plaswads (Mk 3 and Mk 4) with this load? I aslo have a couple of tins of Surefire primers but not sure if they can be used in a modern case. Many years ago I used to use them in the old Ely Grand Prix case but not sure if they can be used in a modern case. Your advice would be much appreciated.

Thanks I will try the load suggested by F C

Hi Everyone. This is my first posting and like most newcomers, I have been watching the site for some time. My question relates to shotshell reloading, and is probably aimed at the older members. I have just acquired some Nobel 60 reloading powder, and I have been unable to find any loading data. I have data on the 80 series but not the 60, so if anyone can help with some figures it would be much appretiated. I know the origin of the powder and it has been dry stored, and there is no smell, so if I can find some data I am willing to use it. I load 12 ga. 32gm with 70mm cases and plastic wads. Thanks
