speaking to my gunsmith today,while taking my rimmy in for a chop job,and,he said that anyone wanting a centre fire .22 now has to have a supervisor put onto their fac until the supervisor makes a statement that the person is safe to use the weapon un supervised.Is this common over the country now,or is it Avon & Somerset gone mad?

guns have had alot of bad publicity at the moment on the news and papersso it wouldnt surprise me.

its the same here in lancashire too, any centre fire rifle you need to go out with another fac holder they need to send a letter to the police saying that your safe and competant

its the same every where isnt it? youve got to go out out a certain amount of times with another F.A.C holder

and you need X amount of land as well....

The land is correct, but it is illegal for them to make you have a supervisor,if people just do as they say they'll just get worse,so we must make a stand

I,ve just put in for a 223 last week ,Firearms dept phone a few days ago to say that i can have it ,but they will need to do a land check on one of my farms first.This will be my first centre fire but i have had my FAC for over a year now .

just got my fac .22air,.22rf and .243 do not need any supervision though

what does .22air and 22rf mean ?

what does .22air and 22rf mean ?

.22air is a 22 air rifle and 22rf or 22lr is a 22 rimfire (bullet gun)

yeah that makes sense lol
