Al69ec Posted August 11, 2013 Report Share Posted August 11, 2013 When you have a slot on your f.a.c for a perticularly calibre rifle, does it mean you can only have 1 of each calibre stated of can you have a couple? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve_b_wales Posted August 11, 2013 Report Share Posted August 11, 2013 Yes. You can only buy one of whatever caliber is stated. You can however, apply for 2 of the same caliber rifles,but they would be on seperate 'slots'. I have two .22LR rifles. One for day shooting and the other for night vision.

Reeceknight Posted August 11, 2013 Report Share Posted August 11, 2013 This is off topic, sort of, but if I was to want a semi auto benelli or somthing and wanted an 8 shot I need my firearms licence? Is it as hard as getting a rifle or is it simply a more intense version of a shotgun licence? In other words am I garunteed to get it?

jamiedenny Posted August 11, 2013 Report Share Posted August 11, 2013 There are never any guarantees but its a firearms license so will be treated as such. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is not a case of just wanting a 8 shot you need to show just cause or good reason to be able to aquire it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve_b_wales Posted August 11, 2013 Report Share Posted August 11, 2013 To obtain my Sec 1 shotgun, I was advised by my FEO to state that I wanted it for crop protection. This was backed up by a letter from the farmer who said that his crops were being hammered. I had the Sec 1, with no problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beesley121 Posted August 11, 2013 Report Share Posted August 11, 2013 I still don't see the use for a sections 1 shotgun for vermin control. One bang and its dead, another for its mate, the third maybe if they are still in range but what the hell shot 4, 5,6, 7 and 8 are for, I've no idea!!!

When you shoot as many corvid's as I do per year, perhap's you'd realise how handy a Sec 1 shotgun can be. Despite what most people think, including you, I for one, do not fire 4,5,6,7,and 8 shots in one go. The most I've fired is 4, and I've hit 4 birds. When 20-30 corvids come into my decoy pattern all at once, I can fire 3-4 shots, giving me as many kills. The other cartridges in the tube, remain there. I do not fire all the cartridges at the birds as they fly out of range. I've only fired the 8 in one go, and that was to test that all the cartridges would cycle.
