Spare props and other bits and pieces. More than £400 worth of gear and hours of labour spent. Just needs finishing touches and it will be ready to fly. Reason for sale is that I have lost interest since taking up shooting. Looking for PCP rifle .177 or .22, 12

Cymru's a big place which town?

12.4 I guess that could be easily reached by having the rifle tuned to the legal limit. Then plod comes along and tests it with a different pellet and top drawer calibrated chrono. Is anyone safe to have any rifle running at 11.5.

I was prosecuted 18 months ago for the same thing and was fined.............so no they didn't give him the shortest possible sentence. The court has to take into account mitigating factors as they did in my case. These factors are weighed up and then sentence is passed. True it is an absolute crime. I'm guessing there is more to this than meets the eye. Just as amatter of interest approx how much over was your equipment?

Borrowed off Another Site Would just like to state this is not my post but think it is something we should all be aware of thanks to it's writer and hope he don't mind me nicking it Police testing procedure -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Circumstances surrounding the seizure of air weapons has no bearing on the test procedure, HOWEVER, the results of the test can significantly affect the decisions made by the CPS with regard to any subsequent charges being brought. I shall cover this at the end. I do not intend to quote from

"Mr Michael Grey, defending, told the judge: "This is an absolute offence. "I wasn't aware myself that a .22 air rifle required a Firearms Certificate, but that is no defence." It's a good job his brief wasn't prosecuting. He'd have got the full 5 stretch.

Thanks :notworthy:

Hi all Just joined up to gen up on several items. Thinking of taking up air rifling again after a 20 year break. Targets and vermin control are the main interests. So if you see me lurking, its to pick up knowledge. Cheers. Roy
