For £30 lads sacs do take some beating.

Had a good few pm,s and emails from lads who have had or are having the same sort of trouble from there FLD.

best bet it to get on to sacs as the more people that do the sooner firearms departments who have bad track records can be sorted.

or bend over and take it.

What bugs me is that these people can't read their own bloody rule book. I know I go on about this but Home Office guidance to FEOS specificaly lists 243 as RECOMMENDED for fox. All the .22 centrefires, 5.56, .243, 6mm PPC, 6mm/.244. I suppose it's too much to expect a Firearms Enquiry Officer (laughingly so-called) to know anything about firearms but why can't they

I really am concerned about this. If a Firearms Officer passes a given piece of land for .22lr does that mean that no-one can ever use that land to shoot a "bigger" calibre? I may be wrong on this, but I thought that if the land was passed for, say, .22, all that means is that it is acceptable to use firearms up to that calibre. If you wish to use a bigger calibre you should either apply for the calibre or show that you have an open certificate.
