I've been a member for a few years but account has been inactive. I'd like to delete my account and make a new one with the same username I use on other shooting forums. Can anyone advise me on how to do this? Thanks in advance

Thanks for the help guys, I'm of a mind to make one of the relatives earn their keep this Christmas as they are know what they are doing when it comes to DIY! There are two suitable cupboards and after considering some of your suggestions I've decided I'll go with downstairs to save the extra hassle of skirting board alteration (I wasn't too worried about this previously as anything seems possible after a few malts by the fire ). One thing that threw me was that the screws used to secure the cabinet previously are included in the ammo compartment at the top but they are 1 inch long regular looking things and they certainly don't look sufficient but I could well be wrong. Its the images in my mind of resin fixings and huge bolts that made me doubt my practical skills! I could probably attach a pic of the screws and washers if that would help? If you guys think they sound ok then I might even attempt the job myself after all. Thanks again for your input

The title alone I imagine will have put some people off as its a regularly explored topic! However I can't find a post anywhere relating to my precise situation so here we go. I am hardly a DIY god so forgive my ignorance but I need advice on installing my gun safe, It is a safe that can store 3 or 4 assembled guns that I was given by a friend retiring from the shooting world. I intend to install it in a cupboard but my question is does cavity wall insulation affect in any way the fixing of it onto the wall? My house is new-build and all the walls are cavity insulated I wasn't sure if this affects where you can place screws/bolts. Also is it advisable to hire someone like a joiner to install it for me? I hate to think what damage I'd do If I was let loose with a drill! Thanks for your responses BenGun

First of all- Hi guys, I'm pleased to be on the forum and hope to get to know some of you better over time! Essentially I am applying for the grant of a shotgun certificate (first time) and need a few things clarified. I have 7 years experience of shooting both target rifles (.22 and 7.62, airguns and shotguns) so I am well into the sport and very enthusiastic but it has always been at clubs or at a friends. Anyway here are my questions- thanks in advance for any help/advice I am 17 and while reading up online and talking to friends with FAC's and SGC's about purchasing shotguns and ammunition I have encountered age restrictions varying from 17 to 18- it even varies between police websites! could someone settle this one for me once and for all, 17 or 18 to purchase shotguns and ammunition? I live at 2 different addresses and was wondering what rules are regarding storing a shotgun in either address if I get my certificate, I do have a cabinet and a gun "clamp" which meet current specs so could have one in each but what are the rules, if I have registered one address on my form can I move the gun to the other whenever I am at the other address? I live in Scotland if that helps and one home is in Perthshire and the other in Fife so not a million miles apart. I would have access to shooting facilities from both places. Do I have to have my security (gun safe) installed before the visit from the firearms officer or can I discuss installing them and location within the house etc in the first meeting then have him visit again once this has been done to check the arrangements? These are my questions for now, hope you guys can help out Many thanks BenGun
