bmwmotard 15 Posted October 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2011 This thread is going round and round in circles of bullshit [ We don't shoot rabbits etc with air rifles overhere. It is not allowed to hunt with them. Sometimes I comme to the UK with 12 ftp or even FAC when someone invited me and when it is a FAC gun that I bring with it's on my European Weapon Pass and the person that invited me most have a safe for it then. I do hunt with shotguns and rimfire in the Ardennes on boar and deer and sometimes on rabbits (we don't have as much rabbits overhere then in the UK) Knock-down targets in Belgium is maximum 100 meters but in France we shoot at 150 meters... With a 12 ftp it's not possible... Rimfire on wild boar and deer in Ardennes? I dont think so, not legal in Belgium as the same calibres in the UK are used. Blackpool air rifles - BAR, will post any UK legal air rifle to Any EU country that also has the same muzzle velocity limits ie 12ftlbs. And they will also post spare parts that make an air rifle high power above 12ftlbs to a person in a country where high powered air rifles are permitted, so get in touch with BAR. If you have already got good contact with 'Big UK Gun exporter ask them if they can send FAC rated air rifles to you rather than the parts? Good luck. You don't KNOW a thing about that mate.... We do hunt in the Ardennes wirh rimfire and shotguns. With rimfire it is allowed to hunt on boars.... Not with .22 It is allowed to hunt in the French speeking part of Belgium with .22 but NOT in Flanders. I hunt already more then 25 years... Quote Link to post
bmwmotard 15 Posted October 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2011 The Only UK Dealer I am aware of who has a Export Section is Blackpool Air Rifles Aware it's a lot of paper work - reason the cost Believe they send it to overseas dealers for collection - BOB/R I know BAR and they do send already weapons to me personaly but they cannot deliver evrything...

markha 99 Posted October 4, 2011 Report Share Posted October 4, 2011 bmwmotard, I also know just a little about hunting and fieldcraft having been on this planet for a few years also I stand corrected, as I thought it was the whole of Belgium not just the French section that you needed bigger calibre for wild boar, clearly then I'm wrong, my apologies. Are you originally from Belgium? Quote Link to post

Are you originally from Belgium? Hey mate, Don't apologise yourself to me. No need for that. I'm indeed a 100 % Belgium guy.... I live in Ronse (that's on the border of the Flemisch and French speeking part) see google maps...http://maps.google.be/maps?hl=nl&tab=wl We speel overhere in my town Flemish and French ( there are facilitys for the French speeking persons overhere) but it is a 100 % Flemish town. I hunt indeed in the Ardennes on boars and dears etc.... As far as I know there are NO boars in the Flemish part or not much ... I never seen one... Rabbits al extreemly rare to find when I see how many there are in the UK... It's a plage overthere.... wich it was also overhere like that and that we where alowed to shoot them with air guns. It's a very strange situation... Two totaly different laws overhere about hunting. The Flemish laws are different from the French part of Belgium. Nobody overhere understands it anymore.... It's a very long story and you get gray hair of it hehehehehehehehehe Grtz Stefaan Quote Link to post
