Very quick, stupid question
AdamSouthEast replied to AdamSouthEast's topic in Bullets, Cartridges and Reloading
That's what I thought, thanks chaps. -
Apologies I had to make a whole thread for this, there is no "Dumb question thread" for me to post in... Just got my FAC last month and bought my first rifle; do I need to also inform the plod when I buy rifle ammunition? I can't find anywhere saying so, so I'm guessing not but just want to be safe. Cheers

So rifles killed 2 people last year, including illegally held ones and could potentially include suicides too as it's unspecified? And all this effort and money has been put in to restrict access further? How about these jobsworths focus their attention on something actually pressing like moped gangs or the seemingly endless stabfests that take place in inner cities? Can't they just **** off and leave us peaceful shooters to it? /Rhetoric rant

Arrested without written permission?
AdamSouthEast replied to old'un's topic in General Shooting Matters
Truth! I reckon I leave around half of gunshops thinking "*** was that guy on about!?" -
I would pay good money for a day like that, god...

Good lad! Best of luck, let us know how it goes.

Assuming everything in your original post is the extent of the arrangement and there's no proverbial skeletons in the closet, I'll eat my hat if they don't grant you an SGC. Just to echo what others have said above, I'd fit a cheapo alarm on the cupboard/safe just to show you're taking this seriously, it's not required but it should curry favour. I am not overly familiar with CPSA, but my understanding is they cover legal fees should your pre-existing license be revoked/your renewal is rejected, I don't believe they cover a refusal for initial grant, where as BASC do.

I recently renewed my SGC Surrey/Sussex and applied for a new FAC. As you mentioned the initial wait was mad, over 3 months. But from home visit to ticket through the door was only about a week/week and a half.

Hi, no I didn't - my primary purpose is down as target, whilst I look for a permission. But I also requested a 308 for guided stalking (which was granted) but my license makes no mention of being able to stalk with any of my rifles.

I'm a fresh FAC holder (Surrey/Sussex)... How do you know the restrictions placed on your license? I literally just have the 3/4 pages: Page 1 with my personal details, Page 2 rifles, Page 3 Ammo, Page 4 back page. There's no commentary whatsoever about where I can shoot or for what purpose. Thanks

Hi Christopher, thank you for the advice. I have just ordered some "business" cards with my details on and had planned on dropping into some local farms and doing some face-to-face where possible. But your idea seems like a good one in addition. I suppose my initial request to accompany someone is because I've always enjoyed the company of another shooter and I unfortunately no longer have anyone in my area to do so with, but fingers crossed. Thanks again

Should I have seen regular 'Narcos' before watching Narcos Mexico or does the latter not rely on an understanding of the former? -

I've only watched the first half or so, but really enjoyed the gold prospector story. -

Yeah, I've been impressed with them, going to get my Dad a pair for xmas. -
Hi, is this deep enough for scoped rifles?

Beaters required Northumberland
AdamSouthEast replied to toontastic's topic in Sporting Opportunities (Free)
If it's just about the money, Bisley pay £60 a day for you to sit in the butts patching over target shooters bullet holes with a 2 hour lunch break. Boring stuff though, would hate to do that for a day... -
I imagine the prospect of dying in pointless conflicts and oil wars has put a dampener on the recruitment drive.

I got mine from Amazon and they're genuine -
Looking for a nice cheap knife for breasting

Yes, far more risk of a surprise biology test using this method 😅 -
Looking for a nice cheap knife for breasting
AdamSouthEast replied to AdamSouthEast's topic in Guns & Equipment
It requires a decent old tug, similar movement to doing a deadlift. The first time I did it I ripped the wings off, but if you adjust your feet inwards to get the shoulders instead it works a treat. Done a fair few like this now and works great. -
Awful taste, but a hate crime!? Come on... Concentrate on the guys chucking acid in Deliveroo riders faces not drunk ***** making insensitive jokes.

Brilliant actually, they're like having super hearing... Could hear the beaters talking trash about us from a mile away. Seriously though, would recommend. -
Looking for a 5+ gun safe. Deep enough for scoped rifles
AdamSouthEast replied to AdamSouthEast's topic in Wanted
Thanks for the tip, is this the one you're talking about? That price is too good to be true, but the reviews seem okay... One guy saying the keys and lock feel cheap and plasticy.
