FinFerNan Posted November 29, 2009 Report Share Posted November 29, 2009 (edited) Hello one and all I am not from Notts but I am in the process of re-obtaining (made up word) my SGC. Like many I guess, I came to a point in my life a while ago when it was appropriate to sell my guns and take a break from shooting. Well that lasted about 7 years I used to own a Beretta 687 30" M/C Sporter for the clays and a nice little side by side Zabala SLE (single trigger) for the pigeons. Like many of you no doubt, I built up a pile of kit which was all donated to good homes when I packed up before. So I'm in the market for a nice sporter to get me started. I quite like the look of the Browning 525 and would welcome any views on this. Also (I live in Solihull) any suggestions for a good place to buy from, or perhaps (if rules permit) the places to avoid. Oh yes............ I have my cabinet, but I live in a new property (plasterboard dabbed onto thermalite blocks) any advice ref fixings that work first time would be appreciated.

FinFerNan Posted November 30, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2009 Well what a nice welcome, thank you all Stuart - I had thought about the resin type anchors, but how did you stop the plasterboard from crushing in when you tightened your bolts up Did you wind a nut down flush with the plasterboard and resin that in place?

FinFerNan Posted December 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2009 UPDATE: Just had the visit from the Firearms chap.
