A pal of mine applied for a new Shotgun Certificate a month ago and has just had a letter back from our local (Glos) Firearms team saying that at present they are NOT processing new applications ! Are other counties doing the same thing and is this legal ? I guess I should take it up with...

Can anybody enlighten me as to the rough cost of a new and/or lightly used Trap stock for an MK38 ? Ideally a grade 5. A pal has an MK 38 sporter  and he has just realised that the stock is too flat for him. He has shot it this week with a comb raiser and his shooting has improved markedly...

A mate needs a quiet air rifle for vermin control and he likes my .22 Air Arms 410. he doesn’t like the price - a used one now appears to cost what I paid a few years back for a new one (circa £500). there are lots of cheaper PCP guns on guntrader from manufacturers I have never heard of - are...

Any 28 bore aficionados out there ? I shot one extensively a few years ago and have just rekindled my interest. i have some new barrels that are very heavily choked and need to be opened out somewhat. Any body got any constructive suggestions on choke (ideally in actual measurements as in 10...

Is there a list anywhere of which cartridge suppliers use which ACTUAL shot sizes? is it as simple as U.K. vs European ? If so is there a definitive published list  between sizes 5 and 9. Reason for the question is that I’m immersing myself in the 28 bore world and the reduced payload means...

Does anybody know the legal situation regarding the export of shotgun parts from the U.K.? I have some Krieghoff K-20 (old style) barrels that are surplus to requirements and my initial investigations suggest that there is almost no market for non-Parcours K-20’s in UK. Given that they cost me...

Can somebody please furnish me with a current contact number for Nigel Teague at Tortworth (not via Precision Chokes at Malmsbury). I have had work done by him in the past and none of the numbers I have seem to work. im after some help with gun fitting. Thanks in advance.

Yesterday I tried a Blaser F3 at the Coley open day. I’d never shot a B gun before. The Blaser guys were fantastic and combined parts of two different demo guns to fit me. I ended up with 32” flat rib sporting barrels and a vantage stock. The  gun shot really well and I hardly missed a...

Can anybody offer any advice on the easiest way to apply for an FAC air rifle ticket....Currently I only have a shotgun cert -  so I assume I have to go through the whole FAC procedure? There appears to be some debate on whether licences for FAC air rifles are issued 'open' or closed'. Does it...

Is anybody else having issues with the Guntrader website ? I haven't been able to access it in the usual way recently. It loads to a series of adverts and then seems to lock up....... 

Can anybody please recommend me a quality stock maker/refinisher? I have an exhibition grade O/U stock that was fitted to me a while back, but not refinished. It now needs the following: a slight adjustment to the nose, complete re-chequering and then stripping and refinishing. It is much too...

Hi, My other half has recently bought some hiking boots to wear for beating -  she needs more ankle support than her previous neoprene boots. She now needs some decent gaiters to go with them. They have to cope with rough terrain (mid Wales). There is a bewildering selection out there - can...
