Another question: Am I allowed to take more than one gun with me onto a clay range to give it to a non-SGC holder? (e.g. a lighter gun for the Mrs who hasn't got an SGC yet) I believe that for the field, I can hand out as many guns as I like as long as I have visual contact with other shooters? Is that also the case for clays? Thank you.

Thank you guys! I'll get a blanket for cleaning purposes and perhaps make myself a sheath for the forend to put on my belt when I'm transporting the gun.

Hi All, I just got myself a shotgun and I would be very grateful if you answered a few silly newbie questions: 1) I know that I am not allowed to expose firearms in public places. Does my back garden count as a public place? The neighbours' windows are looking over it so they can see what's going on there but it is sheltered from the street. The reason I am asking is because I'd rather clean my gun outdoors than in my living room to avoid all the nasty stuff from the barrel getting on my floor. 2) I intend to keep my barrels oiled when in storage for over a week. Do I need to dry-patch the barrels dry before firing (eg like a rifle) or is it ok to fire through slightly oiled barrels? 3) Do you put oil on the choke threads? And how tight do you screw the chokes in? 4) Is it ok to regularly fire 2 3/4" ammo through a 3" chamber? 5) What is the procedure if I need to leave the gun in my car unattended (e.g. stopping for a comfort break)? Removing the barrel and taking it with me? 6) Am I right that ammo does not have to be stored in a safe? Thank you!

Thanks guys. Deershooter - I won't expect more than couple hundred shots a month, so I doubt that I can wear it out. Would a sporter/deluxe sporter still be suitable for the field?

Hi All, As my SGC is almost ready, I am starting to look for my first o/u shotgun. I am looking for a gun to mainly shoot clays with a potential of an occasional field shoot. After a bit of research online I think that a used multichoke Lanber for ~£400ish offers good value for money for a starter gun (please correct me if I'm wrong). I would be grateful if you helped me out with the following questions: 1) What chamber size would you recommend? 2 3/4" or 3"? 2) It looks like there are 2 main types of Lanbers in this price category: field & sport. Is there a big difference between them? I am a big guy and I don't mind a heavier gun, so is sporter a better option? 3) If I am going for fixed chokes, is a full choke too tight for clays? Can full chokes be used with steel shot? 4) Anything else to look out for in my first gun? Thank you for your help, Chavez

Thanks!

Hi! I've heard that there is a clay pigeon club in Falkirk but I can't find any info about it online. Can somebody please point towards their website or share their contact details? Thank you!
