tulkyuk Posted January 9, 2008 Report Share Posted January 9, 2008 (edited) Well done Lee - all you need know is a variation for a decent centre fire 223 or even 243 would be a good starting rifle for you Edited January 9, 2008 by tulkyuk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dirty Harry Posted January 9, 2008 Report Share Posted January 9, 2008 Not wanting to sound rude or anything like that cos i'm not but what qualifies you to be a firearms dealer? From what I understand you have only just got your ticket and are not very experienced with firearms. I can understand why you want one cos it would make all of our lives easier to get RFD status but do you really know enough about firearms to to deal in them? Cheers Harry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Harry From what I can see in the firearms law you don't have to have experiance, just a good reason. If he has a good reason then he can become an RFD. A mate of mine got his RFD about 9 months ago, I would not have given him a water pistol (he went bust last month due to financial reasons though.....)

I wrote in another thread that a valid business case is required to obtain an RFD certificate. So I prepared a 3 page business case, wit the grace of the Mag I write for. I called my FLO and explained the situation and this is the route I have been advised to go down. So it's not for making my life easier per-say, although it is a nice by product.

dazza Posted January 10, 2008 Report Share Posted January 10, 2008 What magazine do you write for? Do you not need to have a good knowledge of firearms to write reviews? I thought it would have taken a person with years of experience to write a fair review. Good luck anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShaggyRS6 Posted January 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2008 (edited) Shooting Sports. They have asked me to do a few bits and bobs for them. I actually like writing, when I get the time. I am trying to put together a Shooting Wagon Article at the mo, that will not be a quick one. Various bits of equipment to do and a couple of Shotguns. The Fox Caller, and a few more bits. Sporting Gun may want what Sports does not want if that makes sense. I dont profess to be an expert, but I am learning all the time I also do reviews on and off for the Radio Society Of Great Britain, just finishing one for the AirNav Radar Box (google it) Edited January 10, 2008 by ShaggyRS6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tuck1 Posted January 11, 2008 Report Share Posted January 11, 2008 ^ Having been in a few RFD's over the years who did not know their derriere from their olecronon, I think it is a bit unfair to criticise Lee here. I seem to remember him coming on here, shortly after I did. The main of his posts were questions, which he acted upon, with good results as far as I can tell. He appears to be a very thorough chap, who puts a huge amount of effort in to the things he does, and goes out of his way to learn about things (dispatching game, dog training etc) which he feels he needs to know to get the best from his sport. If he want's to be a RFD, why not? The internet is a hell of a resource, and he can research things till the cows come home, prices, opinions etc. He has already done quite a few (most excellent) reviews on here, and strikes me as the kind of guy who will readily listen and accept views from others, even if they are contrary to his own. I have no doubt that he spends a lot of time researching things. As an aside, has anyone noticed how the reviews section of, for example, Sporting Shooter, never seems to have any negatives? They never seem to say "we thoroughly recommend that you avoid buying these trousers because the stitching is rubbish and the crotch split second time out...." or anything similar. If I want to know about a product, I come here and ask. Good luck to you Lee, I think this could be a very interesting (and possibly expensive) road to travel, but very enjoyable nonetheless.
