Winchester SX3 owners / reassemble advice needed / please
mjr88 replied to mjr88's topic in Rimfire, Centrefire & Shotguns
Thanks for the advice lads , All sorted now -
Hi all As i havn't cleaned my sx3 properly for about 6 months , i thought i'd give the bolt assembly a good clean as well.. I have never done this before , so i stripped the gun down and pulled off the bolt handle. The whole bolt unit just slid out easily. The problem is reassembly. When i try to slide the bolt assembly back into the action the black plastic linkage rod keeps getting stuck on a plastic hook that is part of the trigger assembly that sticks up inside the action and stops the bolt assembly dropping into place. It doesn't move downwards only upwards , therefore creating

Not all people are lucky enough to have free shooting , especially if you live in a non farming / rural area. This guy is asking for advice and i for one dont find anything to smirk about -

Exactly the same for me. My only complaint has been availability at times my RFD has not been able to get any. I'm still waiting to try Eley subs , as above , all of my local RFD's always seem to be out of stock , John

Is the fac law in the uk about to change.
mjr88 replied to mjr88's topic in Rimfire, Centrefire & Shotguns
Hi all. Here's an update earlier from the author who started this debate : THIS IS GOING TO HAPPEN! I was in one of my calls today and as luck would have it, a secretary of another gun club was there (she isn't always in the office). She isn't connected with the other secretary and in fairness she is a secretary of a more "upmarket" club that shoots over MOD ranges. I asked her this question " Here's a technical question for you; I was told by (the secretary of my club who she knows) that in July every FAC holder will have to be a member of an approved club, is this correct?". Her -
Hi all A friend of mine has just phoned and told me that , he has just read a posting on another forum that states : { in July the police forces across the UK will insist that all FAC holders are members of a NRA registered gun club. I did quiz her over this and she said, well wait and see it's going to happen } This would really bugger me up because , all my Rimfire shooting is for pest control , and even if i had the time to join a club , they all have massive waiting lists , and that's if you can get on one I was just wondering if any of you guys have heard anything alon

Hi all As the title posting states , I'm after buying a Sak Silencer for a legal limit air rifle , and i have a couple of questions : 1 ) When buying a silencer for a legal limit Air Rifle , are there any kind of procedures you need to go through , like filling in forms , proof of ID etc , like you have to when buying for an FAC Rifle , or do you just pay the money and leave 2 ) Is the Sak Silencer universal for both AIR / RIMFIRE , or is there a different model for each one. Regards , John

Comments like this really do p..s me off In truth , your so called experienced friends have probably never even shot an SX3 , let alone owned one. Well i do own one , so here's my opinion. About a year ago i decided to join the ranks and buy my first semi auto. I had used many semi auto's over the years , but had never owned one myself. After explaining this to a mate at work , he told me that he had recently bought a brand new Benelli m2 Cammo 12 gage , and invited me out to do some pigeon shooting so i could try out his new gun. I had never used an inertia shotgun before and i

West Australian FAC - How does the UK FAC compare?
mjr88 replied to FirstBlood's topic in Rimfire, Centrefire & Shotguns
Hi FirstBlood. Here's a link that covers most , if not all , the UK procedure for obtaining an FAC, All the best, John http://homepage.ntlworld.com/steve.davidson1/fac_app.htm -
Hi all. As the posting title asks , what IS the difference ? I am new to shotguns and i have recently bought a red tipped extended invector plus signature choke for my Winchester SX3. Are both these chokes the same length ? Is the only difference the red tip ? There is also a 20 odd quid difference in price between the two. Here is a link to the site who sells these chokes , John http://www.breconretail.co.uk/About-Us-1-w.asp

Hi all. As i've never done any kind of lamping before , i'm not certain what equipment i'll need to start off with. I've recently gained a permission to do some rabbit shooting from a High seat after dark and i'm quite interested in the Clulite Midi Led Gun Light. Details can be found here. http://www.cluson.co.uk/productsMain.aspx?CI_ID=358 What attracted me was the price of £75 and that includes : 150 lumen lamp head, 25/30mm gun mounting kit , rechargeable battery pack, mains charger and in line switch. I was just wondering if you guys could give me your opinions on this p

.22lr Rimfire moderator - which to use?

On my CZ 452 Varmint i use a Parker Hale. When used with Winchester Subs the only noise i hear is the thud of the bullet strike -
Gunner11 As i've only been shooting shotguns for a couple of years, i think that halamrose's above comment is spot on. As a rifle shooter for many years i had nothing but trouble trying to hit where i aimed when i bought my first shotgun , a Lanber Sporting Delux 12g o/u. This gun was solely bought for Game shooting. I had a few clay pigeon lessons and i also invested in a couple of hours professional tuition. But the gun just didn't seem to fit me. Basically, over the next couple of years i had very limited success with the Lanber, especially when i was trying to hit our feathered fri
