Cast Iron Cannon - Real or Fake (ie a model)
Old farrier replied to CaptC's topic in Guns & Equipment
No marks to prove its age hopefully your license department is more sensible than ours -
Cast Iron Cannon - Real or Fake (ie a model)
Old farrier replied to CaptC's topic in Guns & Equipment
With no marks for proof of age age your probably going to Need a fac to own it the starting cannons at cowes fire black powder blanks 10 bore and require a fac nice find though ๐๐๐ -
Thereโs no logic to it at all so far itโs just devaluing all tight fixed choke guns all of the lightweight game guns and going to render small boreโs obsolete for what ? to make game meat saleable !!? the environmental impact of lead by logic has to be the more you fire lead cartridges in a area the more impact it will have so by logic the most environmental impact will be on the clay ground not the game shoot

May also need to declare it to the captain of the ferry when he travels back home from collecting it as itโs classed as hazardous cargo ๐ค

Having tried steel through that purdey I moved it on and went for a heavier weight English gun sad to see it go as it was a pleasure to shoot (with lead ) but no good for what the future holds
-
Not trying to influence you just offering my opinion as a footnote firing any steel standard or hp through a light weight game gun is not pleasurable in more than the odd shot
-
This and to add Birmingham proof would put me off along with enlarged boreโs possibly because they had to be polished to remove marks ๐ค however if you like it and it fits go for it and enjoy butt pad on my purdey

Iโd rather have accuracy than high power ๐

I shoot both ss and ou right handed and load with my right hand ๐ maybe hard to understand but weโre all different and adopt different styles for many different reasons ๐

BASC response to HSE lead ammunition consultation
Old farrier replied to Conor O'Gorman's topic in General Shooting Matters
Iโve just completed it very biased typically you canโt read it in full unless you have filled in parts absolutely nothing mentioned about clay shooting either lead is toxic to the environment or not failure to mention that if your worried about the possibility of lead poisoning from game donโt eat it do they not realise that the sale of game products is insignificant to the majority of the shoots the guns and beaters have it itโs only the mega big days that have a problem with the disposal of excess as for heirloom guns and favourite guns there already valueless and obsolete no question about whoโs going to pay for re proof or pay for choke reboreing honestly donโt think I have ever seen such a biased survey Apology for ranting a bit remember we were never consulted about the voluntary transition -
