Thanks Moley. The rats are big aswell!!

Well the PH6 is now back from Daystate after having a full service. Whilst the action was away i stripped down the stock, stained and oiled it. Not a bad job if i do say so myself. Had a few snags with the scope that came with the rifle so traded it in for a Hawke. Took it up one of my permissions to get it zero'd in. Just finished doing this when a squirrel caught my eye. 28m up a tree, first shot in anger = first blood to the PH6. Happy Days. Ratting over the winter is going to be a pleasure with this rifle.

Have tried to get a picture up but keep getting told that the file is too big? How do i get it smaller so it'll be accepted?

I was gifted an "old" air rifle from friends of my parents today. I must admit i was expecting an old springer on its last legs but to my very great surprise it turned out to be a little gem. I use an AirArms S400 for my pestie work so when i was handed a Daystate PH6 i was over the moon. Never seen one before but its a unique looking rifle oozing character. Colt type 6 shot wheel fixed magazine, winchester style side loading plate, solid cnc machined breechblock, brass swan neck bolt, beech stock, Simmons 6-18x40 scope.........I could go on. Going to strip it down for a good clean t

Well credit where credit is due. Its only been just over a week and ive had my FAC back all done and dusted. Well done to Devon and Cornwall. Happy days..

Devon and Cornwall.

Was mentored for nearly a year prior to attending my DSC1 course. Sent details of all this along with my certificate etc. Spoke to the FEO with regard to photocopying my FAC in case im stopped whilst my certificate is away, explained all of the above and was told its going to be approx 4 months before i get it back. Very busy. My mate just got his SGC after a very long wait and i'm sure it was down to him phoning up trying to chase it up?! Guess i'll just have to be patient and wait.

Well thats the DSC1 done and dusted. Really enjoyed the course, but so glad i put the work in at home/on the range before attending. Out of 19 of us starting 6 failed. Surprised me how many people who could obviously shoot, and had been for years, went to "ratshit" because they were being assessed on the range! Definatley not just an attendance course. Just submitted my certificate, FAC and variation paperwork to Devon and Cornwall Police. Been told by the FEO that its going to be 4 months or so before i get it back! Suppose it gives me time to save for my 243.

Live by the sword, Die by the sword. She knew the possible consequences of her life-style. Self inflicted as opposed to those poor souls taken in Norway.

Had a quick hour or so mooch around the golf course last night and got a couple for the pot. As i type they are poaching in some cider ready to be added to fried chorizo, onions, mushrooms and a tin of condensed m'room soup for a pie filling.

Thats quite quick. Mine took nearly 3 months. It is worth the wait in the end though. Patience is the key.

You put it under the rifle that youve asked for. If youve put down for a .22 rimfire, under this you'll put down for a moderator. Its seperate from the rifle. The reason that youre applying for a moderator is for Health And Safety - Protecting your hearing. Good luck with the application.

Mate its not even been a month yet! You have at least another month or so to wait, at least. Mine took just under 3 months. The waiting is a pain and it does seem to take forever but its worth it when you get it. Patience

After much research i bought a CZ452 SILHOUETTE with a SAK moderator, topped off with a Hawke Nite Eye 3-9-50 Illum scope. Had a Rimfire Magic Trigger conversion kit added just to complete it. We're going to be spending some long enjoyable nights together over the comming months of Spring/Summer. Can't wait, superb rifle. Had a rabbit on Fri night that we lazered at 86yds. Spot on. Will be investing in a couple of spare mags though as if you lose one your snookered without a spare. I'm hoping that this rifle will be like my Africa Twin motorcycle, in that ive had loads of bikes over the

After reading the excellent Help & Guidance for Firearms/Shotgun Certificates by SportingShooter on this site i decided to take the plunge and apply for both. Refering back to the guidance mentioned above made filling in the forms a doddle. A two month wait and i had the visit from the FEO, which was a totally painless affair. At this point i had my security cabinet and ammo safe but had not secured them to the wall as i wanted conformation from the FEO that my planned site for them was ok.(which it was.) 3 weeks later on a wet and windy Monday night i had a call from the FEO saying
