    Thought that I'd post a link to this document. It's full of very, very useful information which everyone should access to. Any chance of this being made a sticky? J. Firearms: Guidance to the police 2002

    You can't add a shotgun which would normally come under sec.2 to an FAC. If you have a SGC you can add as many as you like and don't need an authorisation for each one. You just go out and buy one and th seller will write in onto your cert. J.

    My advice! Hornet, not the best choice, either as a round or more especially for reloading, the case is very small and frail, get a .223, more powerful, better in all departments and cheap to feed. I've never had a problem reloading Hornet brass - occasionally you can catch it on the side of the die and crush it but it's not a common occurrence. I neck them down and fire-form them to make .14 Walker brass without too many problems. Only problem I ever had with it is that at one time the flash holes in S&B brass was slightly under sized and used to pull the de-capping pin out of the

    All this discussion on here as to which forces will grant what firearms and ammo types is pretty clear evidence that this country needs a single centralised licensing agency - not over 40 separate ones. J.

    They always cash the cheque - if they don't grant then they send you a cheque back.

    You can get them co-terminus for a tenner on top of the price of an FAC. I don't know if you have to do this at renewal time (I did) or whether you can do it at anytime during the life of the FAC. Talk to your licensing dept. J.

    Yes. J.

    If it says just .22 bolt action it means any bolt action in .22, although if the police feel like arguing the toss they will.

    As long as there aren't obvious signs of anything on the brass then they'll be okay to reload. I suppose the other thing to look out for is the primer pockets enlarging and the primers becoming loose. J.

    This is the way it should be, as far as I can recall the forms say "calibre" not "chambering". Even then, it's pretty much pointless. I mean, who cares if you buy a .22-250 or a .223? You're not any more likely to accidentally kill someone with one or the other and land suitable for one is unlikely not to be suitable for t'other. Actually, your example is okay as far as it goes but the calibre of a .300 Mag (all of them) is actually .308. So, surely, you aren't authorised to buy any of the .300 mags? It' all rubbish, quite honestly. I mean, the nominal diameter of a .303 bullet is some

    They are the same .224 caliber, just different cartridges. Greg i know this i just thought you had to state the exact calibre/cartridge you wanted no mate you can just put .22cf if you like that way you get a better choice in the gun shop It depends on how strict your particular force is on these things. Some say one thing, others say another. J.

    Do you know if your mate has chronographed his reloads? I remember reading at the time the .204 came out that people were having trouble replicating factory ballistics. I forget why but I have the idea that it was because whatever powder the factories were using wan't availavle to reloaders? J.

    This is a big problem. It is an offence for any projectile you discharge from a firearm to leave the boundary of the land you have permission to shoot over. Be carfeful. J.

    What in your opinion is the best all round vermin rifle in small calibre if it is not the 17hmr? the reason I am put off the 22 hornet is the price of rounds!!! Reload! J.

    It varies according to police authority as to what they will do - this is why there should be a single national licensing body not 40 odd. They actually have very wide discretion as to how to word your FAC. Unltimately, it's all down to your good reason. J.

    You don't have a choice really. You have to apply to the force area in which you reside, even if you intend to move in the near future. If you are going to move to another area anyway then it may be better just to leave it. It's unlikely that they are going to get your certs issued by 5th March anyway and, even if they do, you are just going to have to go through all the hassle of filling the fomrs in again and having another security check for your change of address application.

    I get all mine from this guy in the USA shomosgunshop@yahoo.com email him tell him what you want, ask him to send as slugs and mark as a gift, at the cost of $32 , this saves on import duties, he can only send you bullet heads and cases, so if you load your on you are cheaper to buy in the states than here, if its factory ammo you want, you can only purchase it on production of your cert. or by getting it sent to an RFD Yes thats what my friend told me, that if I was buying online that I would have to email the seller my cert beforehand. I was'nt planning on going into reloading st

    See the thread on the 12-bore damascus baralled gun. The antique discussion starts at about post 7. http://www.thehuntinglife.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=136506&st=0 Basically it's a case of the law clearly saying "no, antiques don't need to go on cert" and the Home Office saying "Yes, some of them do, despite what the law says."

    We want to see you with a usable 12 bore that you have been able to buy without a Shotgun Certificate. Firstly, as I have said, it would be illegal because I wouldn't be buying it as a curiosity or ornament but rather to prove a point. Secondly, you wouldn't believe me anyway. You blindly accept anything that has been spoon-fed to you by the HO and are too cowed by them to actually think for your self to the point that you think they have a right to ignore English, so why should I believe that you are going to believe anything I tell you? I've told you. Find me a case where som

    Not one 12 bore centre-fire shotgun there. 10 bores with 2&5/8 inch chambers are considered obsolete. It isn't on the HO list though. Besides, there are other guns on that page for which ammo is commercially produced. It's irrelevant though. The HO guidance is not law, various cases have shown that to be the case, including the one in which a guy was not convicted of possessing and selling a 7.65mm Luger which is not on the list. You're still ignoring the fact that I have a rifle which chamberes and fires .38 Special ammo. All you are doing is parroting the HO line even thou

    Phoenix Arms Are these people breaking the law? Their home page says that nothing on their site requires a licence in the UK. Lots of guns there in chamberings for which ammo is available. There's even a 10 gauge damascus barreled hammergun - 10ga ammo is readily available and relatively common. J.
