coupe312 Posted July 4, 2008 Report Share Posted July 4, 2008 I've sent in a variation so i can have s section one FAC 12g shotgun. ( along with my 22, 17hmr, 22-250 and 308) i have letters from a few farmers all with the correct wording. I sent in a note saying why i want a semi auto that would hold more than three shots. basical saying for pigeon and vermin shooting. nature of the shooting can mean getting servral shots off quickly. They are saying how can i demenstrate that a three shot is not enough!!!! bit mift now cause i've been working in russia for 2 months and was hoping to come home to find this sorted but it ain't as i have to wright another letter. has anyone had this before? or have a template letter?

Mungler Posted July 4, 2008 Report Share Posted July 4, 2008 I got one. Just asked and wrote a covering letter explaining that the quantity of rats on the feeders required more than 3 shots in one go - which they do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cubix Posted July 4, 2008 Report Share Posted July 4, 2008 Assuming you're after a 5 shot. Their attitude is that if you are over-run with that many pigeons/rats/rabbit then 5 shots won't be enough either so why let you have them? You are also up against most people not needing a sec 1 sg for the same task. People can take bags of 100+ pigeons with an O/U and plenty of rats with an air-rifle. I think they want you to show that your vermin arrive in groups of 5 every single time, and dont have time to run away until you've got all 5 shots off! and no more than that or a 5 shot wont do you, and no less than that otherwise your 3 shot will do you. They have you by the watsits there, its a non-question - it has an answer that describes such an unlikely set of events that they won't believe you when you provide it. It's like when your wife says "Do you like my new hair?" "No" means trouble, "yes" means you didn't like it before. Either way you're in the dog house. Good luck.
