Raj_UK Posted July 3, 2008 Report Share Posted July 3, 2008 (edited) Hi Everyone Just thought I'd say hi since I just signed up on here Currently awaiting my SGC application to be processed I'm looking for a Gun Cabinet and I was recommended a BrattonSound ... and a quick search on PW shows that Paul Hart is the person to contact so I've just PM'ed him SG wise I'm leaning towards a Browning Cynergy (edit : I forgot to mention I'm looking for the Black Ice version) 12g 30" so my search continues for the best place to source one from ... preferably new if not secondhand but in as new condition I'll also look for a list of standard SG ownership accessories too Any advice would be greatly appreciated Oh and I'm just going to be busting clays for the foreseeable future regards Raj Edited July 3, 2008 by Raj_UK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zapp Posted July 3, 2008 Report Share Posted July 3, 2008 Hi Welcome aboard. It might be worth putting your questions into a topic in the "guns & equipment" forum so they get a bit more exposure. ZB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raj_UK Posted July 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2008 thanks for the reply Zapp if it's the same on here as it is on most forums I thought I'd read up and use the search function before I ask the same thing that every newbie asks lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supersonic Posted July 3, 2008 Report Share Posted July 3, 2008 Avalon guns in Street are pretty good, nice day out from round these parts too. The Mrs can bimble round Clarks designer village while you drool over the guns! Sorted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raj_UK Posted July 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2008 sorry for the newbie questions : 1. how long should an SGC take to be processed ? 2. besides a shotgun, trigger lock, carry case, gun cabinet, ammo, ammo bag, shooting jacket, shooting glasses, shooting gloves ... what should I need ... especially re: gun care any pointers would be appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
p@cman Posted July 3, 2008 Report Share Posted July 3, 2008 Welcome to PW Raj. There is a friendly clay shoot just south of Reading, near Grazeley called Happy Valley Clays; Happy Valley It's a well run, decent club with an ever-changing sporting clays set up. Seriously, well worth a visit. There are several reputable gunshops nearby around Oxford that sell Browning, amongst others; try taking a look at the following Adenbourne Francis Lovel Oxford Gun Co I'm in Reading too and often shoot at Happy Valley, so maybe our paths will cross All the best, Paul.

Supersonic Posted July 3, 2008 Report Share Posted July 3, 2008 Of course in Reading you have got Thomas Turner, up Caversham way. Got my Escort Semi-Auto from there at a very decent price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cushat Posted July 4, 2008 Report Share Posted July 4, 2008 Theres quite a few other little sunday morning shoots around the area similar to Happy Valley - Grazeley, Hanson, Black Barn, Englefield. PM me if you want a bit more info on any. Regarding what you need - personally wouldn't bother with trigger lock (not needed if the gun is always stored in cabinet and embarrasing when you leave the key at home - happened to one of our beaters last season on the beaters day ;o) ) Buy a basic cleaning kit with rods, bronze brush, sheepskin brush, a can of Napier gun cleaner, some gun oil and that'll pretty much do you for starters. Loo roll and kitchen rool pretty handy though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raj_UK Posted July 4, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 4, 2008 thanks for the feedback everyone just spoke to the Oxford Gun Co. so I'll be heading along there at some point to try out a variety of guns in my price range and narrow it down to a few which fit me best ... fingers crossed a Cynergy is one of them since atm I have my heart set on one of those thanks Cushat for the list of cleaning equipment I'll need Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J@mes Posted July 4, 2008 Report Share Posted July 4, 2008 Unfortunately the SGC takes as long as it takes. (mine was 4 months) If they have cashed the cheque, that means they have got the application. The only way I was able to speed mine up was to inform my FEO that I was available any time on any day for the interview/ inspection - most people are only available after working hours, which makes getting round them all a drawn out process. If you havent heard anything in 4-6 weeks, I would give them a ring and make sure everything is ok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
