Ladies and Gentlemen, you’re more than welcome to reblog my posts, in fact I encourage it, but please don’t delete my caption only to rewrite it word for word to appear your own. Feel free to add additional comments, though.
Writing up about English cartridges and their makers is taking much longer than it should. In the mean time, please enjoy a somewhat random collection of posts.
As always I’m open to suggestions.
A well worn Holland and Holland cartridge magazine.
A cased 26 bore big game rifle by Joseph Harkom of Edinburgh.
A cased pair of William Powell and Sons side by side shotguns.
A Western M150 D bolt action .410 shotgun, based on the Mossberg 183T.
This is a PSA: Check which paperwork the person on the desk gives you. It all looks the same if don’t read it carefully.
Seriously Ladies and Gentlemen, check your paperwork before leaving the police station when picking up license application forms.
The back story: Went to get two SGC application forms, left with SGC and FAC co-terminus forms almost definitely because of the negligence of the desk staff.
Sometimes you will find the desk staff are busy/tired/having a bad day and don’t pay full attention to you and end up giving you the wrong paper work. Sometimes (unfortunately) you will find the desk staff honestly do not know their way around firearms licensing/ cannot read the headings of the forms or differentiate between Firearms and Shotgun/ simply cannot be bothered to hand you the right sheets of paper.
