The man from Del Monte, he say....

Had my visit from the FEO.

 

Done the usual checks, and had a talk about my 'divorce problems' of 14 yrs ago. All went OK.

He asked me some questions about handling guns - the fact that I once had range officer training at RAF St. Athen to take cadets shooting may have helped!

 

He said he'll give a ring when the certificate is ready - if I want a gun, put the cabinet in place, he'll come around and 'give a quick tug' and then hand over 'the deeds'!

 

So I guese all went well. :lol::good:

Thanks guys.

 

I've a late Xmas prezzy in mind - a Lanber Sporting Deluxe.

 

Plus, a friend with whom I shoot with at work, his brother-in-law has about 40 acres of land that he occasionally seeds, lets the 'birdies' get used to eating there, then goes down one weekend and bags some pigeons... "Do I want to go along?"..... Yeah!

 

So I might just get something cheap and nasty as well, a s/h Baikal o/u, as a 'grouse gun'. If I drop it a ditch, bend it on a tree, I won't shed no tears.

 

I've also got a Webley Vulcan air rifle that needs a good home while I'm looking for a cabinet, so I guese a good size one is a must.

Why buy a "grouse gun" as you call it.

 

I have taken quality guns into the woods, fields and on the foreshore, for very many years and never damaged any beyond the need for a minor repair.

You are just as likely to "damage" your Lanber Sporting Deluxe at the Clay Grounds (where I had a gun run over and the stock broken), as in the field.

 

Well done on the FEO visit. :good:

Cranners is dead right, I wouldn't like to be near you if you're in the habit of treating your gun like a walking stick, you'll end up peppering somebody. :good:

 

Cat.

 

Oy! Less of that 'walking stick' stuff - I ain't that old (you been talkin' to my daughter again? She keeps threatening to me 'Just for Men' for Xmas!)

 

Yeah, I agree with what 'Cranners' says, it was just a friends suggestion. Maybe I will, maybe I won't, dunno yet.

You will need a deep rifle cabinet if you want to keep your rifle with scope in there, no great shakes they are a few quid more then the shotty only ones. The added benefit is when you decide you want your FAC, one less job to do :good:

 

Just like i said mate - you know who to call :lol:;):lol: guncabinetbusters :lol:

I don't know if that will ever happen - don't you need a damn good reason for one, and land to be able to shoot it on?
