  1. Hi all, Can anybody tell me how long a first application visit usually takes please? Thanks Mick
  2. Hi all, How long does it usualy take for the FEO to call after getting a receipt of application letter? Cheers, Mick
  3. ^^^ As above, what caliber have they been shot with and what kind of range? Target shooter me so no idea.
  4. Bloody scary that! Thanks for showing the picture, will cerrtainly make me check barrels more often. ATB Mick.
  5. Hi all, I'm a clay shooter that has been asked to look out for a few foxes. I'm not a bad shot at the clays but have never shot a fox, I don't have an issue with doing so (bloody things are emptying hen houses around here) but if I have to shoot one I want to do it humanely. Could anyboy tell me (assuming a well placed shot) what is a clean kill distance with a 12 bore? Thanks, Mick.
  6. Cheers Billy, I have a "snobs" Beretta for clays but don't want to bash it about looking for Charlie. After the recommendations of you guys I think I'll have a punt. Mick.
  7. Hi all, Can you clear something up for me please? I'm looking for a semi for occasional rough shooting, a colleague of mine who has been shooting for years is recommending a Hatsan Escort, I admire his experience but I've only heard bad reports of this SG. Is he correct or talking $hite? Mick.
  8. Before I start I'd like to say that this is not intended as a racist post, but I would like to share something. Last week I was reading a free issue newspaper that I picked up at work, the article was a report on the state of some of the poorest areas of Manchester, in the report it stated that in the poorest areas only 30% of the population has English as it's first language! How the hell have we allowed our country to have so many immigrants? Please don't get me wrong, I know that "Britain" has always accepted immigrants (unless you are a 100% Celt it's unlikely you don't have so
  9. Hi all, Can anybody tell me how you go about changing an FAC that has been granted for target use only to one which would allow me to take foxes on a friends land? I know the land will need approving, just wondering about my FAC. Many thanks, Mick.
  10. Cheers Dave, Short answer will do me
  11. Hi all, A mate of mine has joined the same range as me which is located in Greater Manchester's turf but he lives in an area that falls under Lancashire Police, which force does he submit his FAC application to? His only justification will be target shooting. Cheers, Mick.
  12. Has been asked before but no response. Any experience of Lancashire police?
  13. Cheers chaps. One more question, can the ref for the SGC also be one of the refs for the FAC? Mick.
  14. Hi all, Quick question if you don't mind. Can anybody tell me how many photographs you have to send with a coterminous application please? I think it's four, two signed by the person applying and one signed by each referee. Am I right? Cheers, Mick.
  15. The rain falls down on last year's man That's a Jew's harp on the table Thats a crayon in his hand And the corners of the blue print are ruined since they rolled Far past the stems of thumb-tacks that still throw shadows on the wood And the skylight is like skin For a drum I'll never mend And all the rain falls down Amen On the works of last year's man I met a lady she was playing with her soldiers in the dark Oh one by one she had to tell them that her name was Joan Of Arc I was in that army, yes I stayed a little while I want to thank you Joan Of Arc for treating me so well
  16. Hi all, I'm looking for peoples opinions on Bettinsoli Shotguns. Looks like I can get a new Bettinsoli for the price of a second hand Beretta or Browning. Is this because they are cr@p? Out of the three what would you buy? Thanks, Mick.
  17. Hi all, I'm looking to buy my first shotgun which will be for clays only (DTL & Skeet) and I'm getting a little confused. If you take the Beretta Silver pigeon as an example it appears to be available in at least three variants; Trap, Sporter & Game. Is there much difference between them and if so which variant would be best suited for me? Many thanks, Mick.
  18. Hi all, Quick question, do cartridges have to be stored in a safe? Cheers, Mick.
