[SGC renewal]

I've renewed both my SGL and FAC - the extension runs out in 3 days !

I've tried calling (Staffs) and they don't answer the phone, I've left a message but no reply as yet

I gave the Dr my forms and £70 I presumed they'd emailed / sent it weeks ago but they text me yesterday to say I could collect it - surely that's not right ?

I think I only reapplied 4 weeks before my cert was up and had an almost 4 MONTH extension but unknown to me nothing has happened

Can I request a Section 7 ?

Description

Sharp Innova .22

I've owned this for 30+ years and have shot less than 1000 pellets through it, it's in good working order.

When I was a teenager I made a pistol grip for it and stained it black - I gave it a quick rub down years later hence the fore end is darker then the original stock.

The pistol grip is included but is "naive"

The front of the plastic scope rail cracked from over tightening a scope - I glued it 20 years ago and it's fine you just have to mount the scope an inch back.

Original sights are included

Collection from Kenilworth preferred

 

190 views - no contacts is it too much ?

I priced it off the only other one I can find for sale which is £245 on GunTrader

[Cutting Down .22 LR Barrel - Does It Have To Be Re Proofed ?]

Final question - who can I get to do the work ?

 

It's only a cheap CZ 511 hence not wanting to re proof

 

I'm near Coventry / Warwick.

 

I've seen Benjamin Wild in Birmingham recommended so I'll give him a call - any others ?

[Cutting Down .22 LR Barrel - Does It Have To Be Re Proofed ?]

I called the gunshop and it seems I misunderstood.

 

The issue wasn't the cutting down it was re threading the barrel afterwards.

 

But I've seen a thread on here with a legal case stating that it is not required - I presume that still stands

[Cutting Down .22 LR Barrel - Does It Have To Be Re Proofed ?]

Ring the proofhouse! I haven't heard this either!

 

I have a friend who works there - he says it is correct - but he would, because of course he only sees the guns that have been submitted for re proofing !

No reproof required

Shortening is not going to affect the barrels pressure bearing capacity

 

I agree - if anything it might reduce it but the laws rarely follow sense IMO.

[Cutting Down .22 LR Barrel - Does It Have To Be Re Proofed ?]

Hi,

 

I want to reduce my CZ 511 barrel length and I'm being told by my local gunshop that recently the laws changed and they now have to be re proofed - is that correct ?

 

I've searched and can't find anything.

 

Thanks

[EU Semi Auto Gun Ban - Affecting .22LR ?]

The problem being that the search can't cope with the word "ban" making any threads hard to find !

[EU Semi Auto Gun Ban - Affecting .22LR ?]

I enquired about a .22LR semi auto that a Gunshop was selling and they told me that they weren't stocking any semi autos due to the impending ban.

 

They mentioned it was on Fieldsports Britain last week.

 

I've googled and can't find the programme nor any info other than a proposed ban on certain centre fire semi autos

 

Can anyone offer any more information ?

[Adding .22LR To "Shotgun" Firearms Cert]

Just thought I'd update this, it was granted without an issue but with the condition that I shoot from an elevated position.

 

Thanks

[Adding .22LR To "Shotgun" Firearms Cert]

22lr for use of dads farm for rabbits with moderator, 1000 rounds expanding ammo, don't mention shooting anywhere else like a garden or similar......

 

Should be a straight forward variation, army experience will help as it means you have some safety training in place,

 

But I thought the land on which you use a gun had to be agreed too.

 

I agree "shooting rabbits in my garden from an upstairs window" sounds dodgy but my garden is 2 acres

.

[Adding .22LR To "Shotgun" Firearms Cert]

If it says Firearm certificate then it is a Firearm certificate , you may not possess a section one shotgun at the moment but I assume you could if you decided to. I would suspect that the variation for the .22 should be simple. A shotgun certificate says in the top left hand corner Shotgun certificate this allows you to possess section two only guns so a .22 would then need a Firearm certificate.

 

I've just googled some more - the first site I read was wrong - I own a Remington 5 shot semi auto which means it is a Class 1

 

So hopefully a simple process.

 

Thanks

[Adding .22LR To "Shotgun" Firearms Cert]

Just ask for a .22LR rifle (don't put down semi auto, in case you change your mind) and .22 moderator. I would personally buy a bolt action, such as a CZ 452. Also add how much ammunition you would like to possess. You don't have to mention about shooting from a window, but when you are interviewed by your FEO you could mention about your plans.

As for shooting in the army, I'm afraid that it doesn't make any difference to the police.

Thanks

 

It was more to sound out what others shooters thought.

 

I added the Army bit because I didn't want people to go on about Firearms are different to shotguns, join a club etc

[Adding .22LR To "Shotgun" Firearms Cert]

Is your semi auto shotgun S1, because if not you probably only have a shotgun certificate, and you would need to apply for a firearms certificate - they are not the same thing.

 

Ah having now googled Section 1 and 2 Firearms I see what you mean, so although I have a certificate saying "Firearms Certificate" it isn't a Section 1 Firearms Certificate

[Adding .22LR To "Shotgun" Firearms Cert]

Hi

I have a Shotgun and Firearms Cert. because I have O/U and Semi Auto Shotguns I use for clay shooting and on my Dad's farm - I was told that whilst I have a Fireams Cert because it's only got a Shotgun on it adding a firearm may not be as simple as I'd hoped.

I currently have a rabbit problem, they are out of Airgun range and the shotgun is too noisy, they are on the lawn about 50-90m from the house (I own 5 acres).

I have no visible neighbours due to heavy tree and hedge screening, the nearest are 200m away.

I'd like a .22 rimfire semi auto

As the land is flat I'd intend to shoot them out the bedroom window - whilst I'm sure that sounds stupid, it really is the best vantage point and means the bullet will hit the ground rather than travel (albeit I have fields on all sides)

So is this a good enough reason to get one, do I just have to say ".22 rimfire rifle" or is it worth adding anything else ?

Do I mention shooting from a window because if I don't I'm concerned that as it's flat land they may argue the bullet could travel outside my land but I'm aware it doesn't sound great.

I have shot extensively with the Army before people suggest I join a club, I have zero interest in target shooting.
