  1. That one isn’t 1925, the slant grip models started in 1935. The earlier slant grip have “not to be removed” stamped on the rear cylinder end cap. Later ones have “do not remove” stamped on. No knurling on the barrel and no “webley” logo on the grips would suggest 1935-1939.
  2. Nice footage Tim, thanks for sharing ?
  3. Had a bash with the shotgun but didn’t see many so took the fac impact .22 and had a steady stalk. Plenty about this time and got a few good opportunities. Nine in total as another presented on the way back. I haven’t got around to setting any feeders up this winter. Might still set one up in this area as there’s still some about.
  4. Great result Tim , good shooting ?
  5. It said on the news that all current fac/sgc holders are being checked. If any skeletons from the past come up they’ll maybe get revoked? The emphasis is on not letting certificate holders who shouldn’t be slip through the net, like what happened in Plymouth. Probably checking social media as well?
  6. Always the same mate. Any lunatic can have a car and could use it on a killing spree if they wanted to.
  7. You could be right Mark, just been out on a walk and called for a swift one. Black Sheep and Nobby’s Nuts, didn’t enjoy them at all really…..?
  8. Those frangible 35grain v-max .22 hornet pills make for a nice minced squirrel ?
  9. Well done Mark, I take it the squirrel is showing it’s “best” side ? ……..?
  10. It states greater than or equal to 5.6mm. .22 is 5.588mm so is smaller than 5.6 so would this not make .22 exempt? Reading that it would seem .17 would be exempt if not .22
  11. Every time anything like this happens it’s due to the police not following “guidelines” properly, it should be protocol, not guidelines, that’s the real problem. Then of course, when it goes wrong, it’s all put down to the licensing system not being tough enough and they miss the point and sooner or later it happens again. Legitimate shooters bear the brunt of it and it’s not their fault. Labours Yvette Cooper wants all private ownership of firearms banned, if she’s the next home secretary who knows what will happen?
  12. Yerr, time to get on the maggies Ben. I’ve only got two atm that I caught a while back, I’ve seen plenty paired up and building this last couple of weeks. Hopefully catch a few soon and get some more larsens up and running.
  13. Hadn’t thought of that Tim. I get loads of weasels mind…
  14. Got a weasel with a mouse in its mouth and also a bonus size rat…
  15. Mentioned it to him? He was with me when I shot them…..?
  16. Did I tell anybody about those unicorns I shot last week? Three with one shot but forgot to take my camera…….?
  17. Good result Tim. Two with one shot next please……???
  18. I love my rapid but I’ve got to say my fac impact .22 is a brilliant tool. I’m not into “military” look rifles, I bought it purely for its performance and it doesn’t disappoint in that respect. Expensive yes, but so versatile and accurate with both pellets and slugs. Also, the shot count is astounding even at 40ft lbs plus. Being able to turn the power up and down in seconds is also a huge bonus for versatility, the modern technology in them shows itself. As for longevity, only time will tell I suppose?
