Lloyd90 Posted June 25, 2008 Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 Got SGC approved last wednesday. Waiting every morning for it to arrive now lol :blink:. So I went today to a farm thats just 3-5 mins down the road from me. A friend I shoot with who is sort of mentoring me has permission there and I mentioned to him whether I should ask, he told me to go for it Well I went down this morning and gave it a try, having no answer I left slightly disheartened but wasn't willign to give up. Since I was in the area I decided to make another stop by and see if I could find someone. Pulling up I noticed the farmer just opposite his house, I waved to him and approached. Told him I was getting into a bit of shooting and looking for permission. I name dropped my mate and asked him if it would be ok to get me on. He said it would be fine :yahoo: :lol: Feeling well chuffed. Asked when it would be convenient to come back with a permish doc, he said he's got a busy weekend so is monday ok ? I told him fine and will be raring to get up there come monday morning to get the form filled out Cheers to PW btw as I got the form off the site!

Lloyd90 Posted June 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2008 Yer saw a nice O/U in my local gunshop. SH for £300. He warned me that the Escorts provide nothing but trouble lol. It was 2 triggers but you can use the same one twice. I liked this since its just like a single trigger but If you ever need more firepower you could go both barrels on something haha, although I doubt I will ever need to. SGC approved last wednesday. If it doesnt come this morning I think I might cry haha. Waiting anxiously. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tiercel Posted June 30, 2008 Report Share Posted June 30, 2008 Bigthug87, If you go on the road from Kenfig to Porthcawl. Just before you get to the roundabout for Rest Bay there are some barley fields on the bends, I have often seen pigeon on those few fields. Also if you take the old road from Portcawl to Bridgend there are a lot of wheat fields around that area. Keep an eye on them they may well be worth an ask if the pigeon are on them.

Lloyd90 Posted June 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2008 (edited) Cheers Tiercel, although which round about for Restbay is that mate ? Think I know where you mean but not quite sure lol. Appreciate the help, will try and spot those fields and try to get intouch with the farmers nice possibility, really appreciate it Also had a call from the Police today, just checking up since there was a burgulary in my home last year.

smokingdragon Posted July 5, 2008 Report Share Posted July 5, 2008 Hi Bigthug If you are still looking for a o/u, I've a good Baikal IZH27 12 guage 3" chamber. 28" barrels, multichoke with 5 chokes and key, single selective trigger ejector. It hasn't had much use as it doesn't fit me. I'm in Pontyclun and looking for around £200. You're more than welcome to try before you buy!!
