Chrono'd your rifle lately?


Recommended Posts


''The gun was seized during the execution of a warrant at Fisher's home in Tamworth in connection with a domestic incident.

 

Heath Westerman, prosecuting, said the rifle was in Fisher's fishing gear. Police tests showed it was potentially lethal to humans and thus required a Firearms Certificate.''

sounds like the guy was probably a tw@t anyway! why else would they be going through his fishing kit when he's been rowing with his misses? they obviously wanted to nick him for something. i regularly check mine when i got to the ballistics center for a bottle refill. i bet this has got a few bums twitching if they just started shooting or just bought a s/h airgun

the filth were on a mission with this fella if you ask me. If they felt that the woman's life was in danger/threats to kill, the rifle had him stitched up for them, down the nick wack a chrono on the rifle where they just happen to use much heavier pellets that nine times out of ten will send any rifle into the twilight zone and the fellas as good as banged up.

Apart from that, who else goes fishing and shooting at the same time :laugh: , now if was fishin with the rifle :whistling: I'd see the sense in it :drink:

Buying new, from an RFD, is no guarantee you'll buy a legal firearm.

 

My first one was purchased new and, at the firing range, was chrono'd at a consistent 14.4ft/lb . . .

 

 

I bought a second hand HW90 too, from the boss man of a local rifle club that fired @ 17 ft/lbs :) , come to think of it :laugh:

When I took mine back to the rfd, he chrono'd it with one of them cheapo plastic jobbies thatare held to the end of the barrel and, according to him, it was legal.

The chrono at the shooting club was a much more substantial affair.
