Fielder

Thanks Scully. I'm the Seller of this shotgun and it really is a nice gun. It's a shame to see it go but need the space in the cab. Hopefuly it can go to a good home.

Thames Valley here, Heard a lot of horror stories about long wait times but i put my FAC application in last week of January and had my Visit yesterday so just under 6 weeks so far. I've had a Shotgun Cert for about 8 years which may help. I asked the officer how long i can expect to wait to get the FAC through the post and he said he wasn't sure. Anyone else in Thames Valley know how long it takes from visit to arrival?

For future reference, For boots go to your local Army surplus store. I picked up a set of second hand Desert tan Magnum Scorpion boots in immaculate condition (worn in but must have only been worn 10-12 times tops) for £40, Waterproof, Good grip and last forever. If they are good enough for soldiers they are good enough for trudging around a field and because they are Tan and not Black leather you dont look like a member of the local Neo Nazi collective or a Member of a Militia in them. They just look like standard work boots http://i.ebayimg.com/t/MAGNUM-SCORPION-BOOTS-DESERT-TAN-BIG-MANS-SIZE-14-BNIB-SAME-DAY-DISPACTH-/00/s/ODQ4WDk5OQ==/z/4DcAAOxy79VRfPuQ/$T2eC16FHJGoFFvz)YVo-BRfPuPl4)!~~60_57.JPG

Thankyou for the feedback chaps, I will look at the suggested brands and see what fits best, It's good to see some of the cheaper ones holding up well too.

I'm looking to get my first clay shooting vest as i seem to be shooting more regularly these days. Does anyone have any recommendations on what to go for and / or what to look out for? do the more expensive vests offer anything the cheaper vests do not? I would also love to hear any suggestions too. (sorry if this has been asked many times before, i have had a look at some of the older posts but still had some questions)

Now sold

Thankyou Joshua, I have replied.

Sold to urm...well me

Hi. Is this still for sale?

Ah yes, were you there today as well? Does anyone know approx how much a gunsmiths would charge to make a wooden stock adjustable? i'm fairly handy (have built the odd car and motorbike etc) but i'm also very busy and a bit lazy lol

Thanks chaps, I had just read that the rubber ones, do you just glue and / or tape them on?

As some of you may have seen i'm fairly new to shooting, took the pump to my first 100 clay shoot today (big thanks to peteherts form here for the invite) and an instructor pointed out my stock comb was a little low effecting my view down the barrel, Using some card and imagination he made me a temporary fix, I'm now looking for a more solid solution, problem is the synthetic stock is hollow so i don't think i can make a cut into it to to make a raised piece. Any suggestions or am i better off getting a new stock?

Just do what I do, I get he girlfriend involved, she came with me to a lesson and remembered all the tips the instructor gave me, now I take her clay shooting with me, she does the clays for me and corrects any bad habbits I keep going back to. Keeps our relationship sweet!
