  1. Your welcome. you wont be disappointed, he does a cracking job. atb phil
  2. I am wondering if i have left it to late mick myself over time !! atb phil
  3. Its what i have just been told over the phone by someone that works at natural england, They read it straight off the licence that they give upon application, and then granted the licence. I wonder if it was a wetlands licence ? Dont want to ring back, feel like a nuisance, will ask when i see them later. atb phil
  4. Sorry moxy, Right, my contact has just told me that on the licence itself it mentions specifically the use of semi auto shotguns due to the welfare of the animal, and the reduced risk of wounding, So no, Air rifles dont come into it at all. atb phil
  5. Thats great, But what the hell did you edit lol atb phil
  6. I too started early, I was eight when i got a pistol from my big brother, A webley senior, Had to wait till i was eleven before dad got me a bsa rifle. I was so chuffed, never looked back, then i had the 35 and things really changed after that, quality wise. Seems my whole life has had airguns in it lol atb phil
  7. I was just thinking that andy while i was watching. good on you davy, its not that hard and could benifit loads of people, keep em straight ! atb phil
  8. Yes its tony wall at sandwell field sports ( SFS ) atb phil
  9. Interesting. wonder if gunmart have done one.
  10. While the scope is off roll the scope on parallel bars made up of two 1 by 2 inch bits of wood either side of the turrets, just to see if one end is out. atb phil
  11. I think a lot of people already have there best pellet, but there are allways newcomers posting on here or just people who have bought a new rifle and could benefit from this kind of service. So good on you mate, and i hope it takes off. 2 or 3 of 8.4's 7.9's so on and so on, you get the drift, and the same in .22. atb phil
  12. Blimey, all that in the box ! I keep a chrony in the boot when i go shooting for much the same reasons, I like to know exactly where the rifle is at, so it stay's accurate. I have been on the fringe of buying one of those stealth's a few times over the years, but never did, I think the "next" time, I just might. atb phil
  13. Did you mention sloe gin, i'm on my way !! atb phil
  14. Just been talking to someone i know, and the general licence is fine with obvious restrictions, sssi's, wetlands, public places,etc. this is part of the email that was sent. Permitted all year round in england and wales on the appropriate general licences. And during the open season in scotland and northern ireland. This can be an effective legal control technique. especially in rural areas. In most urban areas, shooting will not be possible because of public safety considerations. basically you can shoot CG's under general licence. The purpose for which this general licence a
  15. That was a good read, enjoyed that deano. Like the case you made for it, but what is the large black box in the case ? Just one point, the AT, anti tamper on todays airguns is not set in law, but done by manufacturers as the "responsible" thing to do, and you can indeed have it removed if you so wish. Daystate offered this service, dont know if they still do, but they would not break the law if indeed it was the law, had mine removed off my HW100 so i can fine tune it myself, and my FAO was perfectly fine with that. HW100 is non fac. You said the makers put the rifles out on or just below 11f
  16. Well done mate ! what distance was it at ? atb phil
  17. Thats how it used to be years ago, springers being the only option. my first was a bsa meteor, took rabbits, pigeon and so on, out to 35yrds plus with ease, you never worried about vibration and so on, the main thing to know was, was it accurate. Of coarse today its all centred on accuracy, which is a good thing, and quality. atb phil
  18. Dont think you can buy a stage 2 kit, It has to be done in house as it were, by the boys at SFS. Could be wrong though, somebody will say if that is so. atb phil
  19. Well shot. The biggest rabbit, Did you blow its head off, seems to have gone... atb phil
  20. Outstanding villaman, nice to be back in the saddle ? atb phil
  21. I think tony walls pension plan will be pretty healthy, regardless simon. atb phil
  22. Got to agree with andyfr1968 jim, I have three ! A 90 TB, An fac 90, and i bought a spare that was going cheap just in case i needed a part or two, I replaced the trigger unit on the 90 TB after 21 years of HEAVY use, but that is the only thing in all that time. Solid is the word i would use, solid and dependable. ENJOY IT ! atb phil
  23. CONGRATS SI AND LAURA !! We wish you all the happiness in the world !! With love Phil and Vicki
  24. When you put a new mainspring in, It will need re testing and adjusting if necessary anyway. atb phil
  25. As above, Dont forget the calander for 2013, it needs good photographs of good wildlife going on ! atb phil
