Aye, Only 20 odd years for common sense to prevail.

Outstanding collection and handywork I have two sitting in the cabinet, awaiting restoration, both by local gunmakers. Time and expertise are needed first though

This is a handy link https://basc.org.uk/firearms/visiting-the-uk-to-shoot/ You will need a UK Visitors Firearms pass for a drilling and more than likely an EU Firearms Pass from the Norwegian authorities. The drilling's rifle calibre of 7x57 is legal for all deer in the UK but the shotgun element of the drilling could not be used in any circumstances for deer (perhaps of course humane despatch of a wounded beast).

If it's a grade 3 and you get it for around a grand you're doing well. I would expect a dealer to sell them around the 1200-1500 mark for one in very good condition. Used to see one quite regularly with someone at a clay ground, like all Mirokus it shot well and I've always had a Miroku of some sort.

You often hear RFDs saying that it's due to the USA not wanting to export much because of home grown demand. Almost every round of HMR ammunition is made by CCI in the USA for every manufacturer to their own specification. The only one I think has it's own rimfire plant is Winchester. So if the Yanks don't want to export it, then we come second and have little back up. Haven't heard any rumours about the HSE/Quality Control issues but they're long established issues with the HMR because of the way it's made. Could equally be that. When I was in the States recently, there was

How big is this patch? 1 inch or 2 inch square? If it is now completely invisible along the line of sight, perhaps it won't cause any further problems for you. It should get carbonated by the shots going through the moderator and be stuck to the side somewhere. Just a thought before you melt your moderator with meths

Shooting rights are a bit of a quirky British law that often surprises people. Basically, the right to hunt, fish or shoot can be sold separately to the actual land. So I could own the shooting rights on a piece of land that you have the deeds to and still be able to enter it and shoot across or on it without you being able to do anything about it. Normally, land is sold with shooting, fishing or hunting rights included so the owner holds them and can give permission. You need to find out if the landowner holds the shooting rights, if he does then ask him for permission. If he do

Basically, the land owner has a duty to control rabbits. The only person who can authorise you to shoot there is the owner of the shooting rights. This could the land owner or a separate entity. If the owner of the shooting rights refuses you/the tenant permission to control the rabbits, then you can apply to Natural England for authority to do so.

Expensive, clueless, money grabbers. I go to a little chap closer to home for my reloading heads, if he hasn't got them, he'll get them.

I'm using one back where i used to live as I go to London quite often and he's a very good mate of mine. MBR Sporting. Ah I see! Was hoping you weren't going to say the one I had in mind, you'd be waiting until 2020 They all come through Edgars and he doesn't deal with them, so he's getting it from SGC who get it from Edgars. It's actually a few quid less than me buying direct from SGC. Every little helps Can't say I've been impressed at all with the SGC in Newport.

Which RFD are you using Walshie? Had mixed experiences around here
