    Gents thanks very much for the advice. Everything has been resolved as nicely as it could be. If anybody is ever in the same situation here is what happened (I obviously can't say that it would apply in every circumstance ) My mate's ticket was issued by Manchester police whilst mine is from Lancashire (Preston), I called my FEO and explained the situation and he called his opposite number in Manchester, obviously the shotguns weren't an issue but the rifles and black powder pistols were. The FEO from Manchester met me at my mates house and checked that everything was on t

    Hi all, Sorry that this is a little morbid but please bare with me. A good friend of mine passed away suddenly yesterday, he was a great guy who loved life, his bikes, cars and of course shooting. I have been asked by his partner to deal with his firearms, shotguns & ammunition. I hold both FAC and SGC but obviously don't have free slots for all the FAC stuff, I think that all that can be sorted on a temporary basis given the circumstances but how do I approach the police with the info that his Mrs knows where his safe keys are? Everything is on ticket etc but the last

    As I own two I'd say land rover every time but you are right, what you would get for £2k would need a lot of TLC Out of your list I would go for a Pajero, I had a SWB turbo diesel, slow but capable truck but mine never went wrong. (apart from when I rolled it but I can't blame the truck for that!) HTH's, Mick.

    Sorry if this is in the wrong section. Can anybody tell me where I can buy the type of lamp that goes through the roof of a 4x4 (in my case Defender 110) that you can aim and operate from the inside? Cheers, Mick.

    Where abouts are you Matt?
  7. Mastiff
    Good stuff. Thanks to all for clariyfying that.
  8. Mastiff
    No he wouldn't, he doesn't know what the keys are for or where you live (unless you tell him) and he isn't going to keep a duplicate of every key he cuts.

    Very interested in this. My Mrs has started clay shooting with me (her SGC application is pending) and at the moment I make sure she gives me any spare cartridges she has at the end of each shoot but on weekends when I'm on call she has had to give cartridges away as we think she can't be in possession of them on her own. Mick.

    Another vote for the Debden kit. Bit spendy but IMHO well worth it.
  14. Mastiff
    Superb.

    Hey Mick, hope you had a good Xmas! A kinetic hammer, looks a bit like a normal hammer with a screw off end which opens so you can place a charged round in to it. You then screw the end back on and hit the hammer on to a hard surface, this dislodges the bullet which will come out of the case. Sounds scary and it is!! Best by far is a bullet puller which fits in to your press like a die. There is a collet which grips the bullet and as you lower the press arm, the bullet is separated from the case. Hammer Collet I've used both and snapped the hammer after the first few tries. I've be

    Matt, What is a kinetic hammer? Haven't heard of this before. Mick.
  17. Mastiff
    You would be better off waiting until you have joined a club, try as many as you can and see what fits right and / or you shoot best with. As for cost... Id say £500 to what ever you are willing to spend, I have a £2500 Beretta and a cheapy, don't shoot any better with the Berreta if I'm honest. HTH Mick.

    FFS, this is a website where some of us have to justify our ownership of firearms. This kind of crap does us no favours.

    Depends how hard you throw it! But if you fire it, depending on shot size and cartridge make up, loading and velocity, gauge...... How long's a piece of string? How serious is serious? I certainly wouldn't want to stand closer than 70 yards to a 12 bore with a game load, but a 9mm garden gun you'd be safe at 30 yards. Exactly Matt, Question baffled me but 100 Yards seemed a safe answer.
  20. Mastiff
    Not sure what the correct answer is but I told him 100 yards and he seemed happy with that.

    Don't often see workmanship like that these days. Superb.

    Holmeszy, You may want to edit your post and remove your mobile number mate... Antis get hold of that and it will be new phone number time Paranoid, me?
  23. Mastiff
    As above ^^^ Only thing I would add is that mine also wanted me to tell him the range at which a shotgun could cause "Serious Injury". Relax, and just be yourself. ATB, Mick.

    You have PM

    I have both on my ticket but mine are for target shooting (not sure if that made a difference)
