Gunplan?

I'm in Essex and you can either join Harlow Town Rifle Club http://www.htrpc.co.uk and shoot at Dartford or join the NRA and shoot at Bisley but you do need to be a full member of the club before you will be granted your FAC. You can keep your section 1 PSG in the same cabinet but no-one else can have access, not even any family members that live there, even if they have a SGC. Depends what type of practical shooting you want to do as to whether you need to apply for slug or not. Target shotgun uses slug a lot, practical or 3-gun much less generally. If you're going down the S1 route, i would apply for slug anyway in case you want to do it in the future. If you don't put it on the application they will charge you later for a variation... Don't forget that with a SGC you can buy bird or buckshot anyway which is what you mostly use. If you want a rifle as well, then again put it on the application. But as been said before find a club first and then apply.

Most likely going to be a 'normal' variation (not 1 for 1) so you're going to have to pay for it as a revolver isn't really a similar calibre Variation (not like for like) – applicable only to firearm certificates £20 https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/circular-0072015-the-firearms-variation-of-fees-order-2015/the-firearms-variation-of-fees-order-2015

Yes

yep - great fun. I've put a Vortex red dot on the top of mine just because i can't aim well on iron sights.

Have both of these gone - I'll take one if there is one left...

Gunplan for me

Visit for my first renewal - nothing since!

From the Firearms Act (1997): 16.—(l) The Secretary of State shall, in accordance with a scheme made by him, make payments in respect of firearms and ammunition surrendered at designated police stations in accordance with the arrangements made by him under section 15 above. Which in my interpretation says - 'The Secretary of State will decide how much compensation will be paid, if any.' Good luck getting any money out of the Government on that one.

I'm pretty sure that the government will decide if they're going to pay compensation and what that will be, when they decide to re-categorise anything. Just because they did it 20 years ago doesn't mean that they will do it again.

We go to a IPSC club in the Netherlands that gives us the weekend shooting Glocks. Great fun!

I ordered some electronic plugs from Mercury in Feb this year and was told that they would be ready in April. After much chasing I finally got a refund in July as they still weren't ready and the design was being improved. They seem like a nice bunch but I wouldn't trust them again.

I've got Vortex 10x42. Love them.
