It is. Had no bother getting it passed by our lot though.

 

I'm tempted to put in for FAC, but for the nearest range is the other side of Liecester, not somewhere you can pop down to and I have no land on which to shoot otherwise. <_< Ah well. Leicestershire Firearms Dept are pretty good compared to the others. :good::yes:

This one would be a bit closer, never been myself but know a few that have.

 

Swadlingcote rifle and pistol range

 

It is conditioned on my ticket for control of vermin in or around buildings.

I've been looking for a 410 pistol for a while, they are quite thin on the ground unless you have very deep pockets or want a falco!

 

This one came up at Holts and I have just found out its now mine!

Will have to go and pick it up asap and have a play!

 

It'd be nice to know a bit of this pistol's history. I can imagine a past proud owner adding the silver tacks to the butt and making the case. I saw quite a few of these when I was a lad, but most were neglected, rusty things kept in sheds for shooting rats and fruit-raiding birds.

Picked it up yesterday! I'm pretty happy with it, the previous owner obviously took good care of it. Will hopefully get out and fire it tomorrow.

 

It would probably be a sin, but I'm thinking of cutting the barrels down from 10" to around 5". Thoughts please......

 

Anyone looking for one of these, there is one sat doing nothing in a shop near me. Quite rough though. The shop has it in storage for 13 years!!! They are getting in touch with the owner to see if its for sale.
