    Thanks

    I have an FAC for air rifles and a slot for a rimfire. Looking at getting a rimfire, I know you need to notify on the purchase of a new firearm. But do you have to notify each time you purchase ammunition? Or is it just recorded on your licence, I know you have a limit on your licence as to how much you can hold and must be in a separate safe to the gun cabinet. Thanks .

    Does anyone know if the BSA R10 stock will fit the BSA R10 SE? Looking at another stock for my r10 se but have seen an r10 stock. Would it fit?

    Thanks guys. Yes i general always check the Gov.uk website. https://www.gov.uk/guidance/prevent-wild-birds-damaging-your-land-farm-or-business#general-licences Yes there has been a change in the general licence terms and conditions, from what i understand the animals listed on it haven't really changed but in 2014 or 15 the law changed to say that you can no longer presume no lethal methods won't work and resort to shooting straight away. You now have to attempt none lethal first and prove it! From the Gov.uk website:- What you can do without a licence You

    I normally shoot rats and rabbits, but have been asked if I can shoot some crows/ rooks. My question is does it need to say on your licence "avian vermin control" for birds on general licence? Mine states "to be used for shooting vermin including fox, and ground game and any other lawful quarry". Is there such thing as "avian vermin control" on your licence?

    I have an FAC .22 BSA R10SE which I bought 2 years ago. The stock had a minor crack in it around the bottle out the box in the gunsmiths so was replaced straight away. The bolt Immediately came lose after about 10 shots from the pellet probe. But I just took the screw out which holds the bolt to the back of the probe and put it back with lock tight. Since then I have had no issues and the bolt is smooth with no jams at all. I use H&N barcuda hunter extreme pellets no issues.

    I'm sure this topic has probably been covered or mentioned before, and if it has can someone point out the link. I came across this earlier https://www.gov.uk/guidance/rabbits-how-to-control-numbers And I am confused, I though if you got permission (preferably written) from the land owner to shoot rabbits you could, and most people offer this free of charge ? But it states "When you can shoot rabbits If you are the occupier of land you can shoot rabbits on your land during the day and can authorise in writing one other person to do so. That person must be part of your

    Hi Phil Thanks for the reply. I have a decent rifle the brocock bantam hi lite. And realise this rifle is half the price, was just looking for a back up rifle. How long ago did you buy yours ?

    Just an update, I emailed Armex uk and they confirmed it is regulated.

    Has anyone bought one these? Does anyone know if there regulated as there seems to be some conflicting info on if it is or isn't ? Thinking of getting one as a back up / spare rifle, had to send my Brocock Bantam Hi lite off for repair which took 6 weeks over the the summer heat wave!!!!! Is the stock plastic or wood which is soft coated?
