Actually lots of S.1 firearms are owned for sport, with many home office approved target shooting clubs up and down the country. if the perpetrator of Hungerford, Dunblane, and  Cumbria had not had access to S1 firearms only S2 do you think the situation would have been any different, suicides...

“Strange that certain professions never stopped at all with home visits during the pandemic.” Very true, lots of trades have continued working within people’s houses during the pandemic but then I bet most were self employed, no work no money, unlike the FEO.

You could write to the Crime Commissioner asking if this is acceptable given other police services have not stopped during the pandemic and copy the letter to your MP.

I have been shooting for very many years, pistols (before the ban) rifles, and shotguns and witnessed various acts of poor safety over the years at varies location (MOD ranges, private ranges, straw bail, Club or premier clay grounds). The location or the value of the firearm contributed zero...

Nothing wrong with Sunday morning shoots if run properly and professionally, or are you saying Saturday morning shoots are better because nobody goes out for a ‘good Friday night’ on the alcohol?    Fact is clay shooting is a very safe sport and long may that continue.

Their is no import duty on cartridges or components arriving from the EU provided the country of origin for the cartridges and components is within the EU, ie they were not made in say America, moved to the EU then to the U.K. VAT has always been payable except now it ends up in the country it...

El Spavo, what you say about a temporary higher outlay is correct and not a problem if a big business, but lots of RFDs are far from big and will not want a temporary higher outlay to replace the stock. Hence why the price of the in stock cartridges will go up. Really is that simple. Let’s just...

been out of the engineering game awhile now but several years back when buying non ferrous the quotes on brass and bronze from the stockist were valued for that day  only, the price of them was increasing that rapidly as determined by the LME. On many jobs yes you brought the material in after...

Plenty of fret and worry running a business especially one with all the legislation around the gun trade. 😊

It’s only double profit if you do not replace the stock. so when your raw material cost go up say by 10% do you put up the price of the item you are manufacturing or take a reduction in the profit you expected to make? And what if the increase in material cost was more than the profit you were...

Tell me what shop do you own or run? As in practice shops especially small shops like the the majority of RFDs will raise the price on high ticket small margin goods as soon as their supplier does. Your small affect on cash flow could be anything but and have consequences. think of a petrol...

But if the new price increase is greater than the profit on the old stock you have sold at a loss, I would not call that nonsense but a fact.  Hence why the old stock goes up in price, so you still have the capital to replace the stock and then make the same profit you will make when you then...

Nice idea however that only works if the shop is closing down after selling them, but not if they want to restock them as the new price will then have to be paid by the shop, which if the cartridges go up 10% and the shop makes 5% means the shop now has sold at a loss or zero profit and now...

The U.K. cartridge manufacture are U.K. vat registered so they would have sent details of their U.K. vat registration to the EU component manufacture and then no vat would apply.  So they would not have been paying EU higher rate vat. The U.K. vat would be added at the time the cartridge...

Know that exact problem also as a secretary of a small club, we have lost a lot of income, yet still have the rent for the ground and insurance for the traps etc to pay. Being a not for profit club means no government financial help. Clearly if shooting does not get back to normal soon their is...

BREXIT.

Nothing new water soluble wads were in use by armusa way back in 2013 the wads are made in Spain, but they are a lot more expensive which may be why gamebore has decided to make their own.

Think the real reason is commercial or unfair advantage, rather than safety, thousands and thousands of both shotgun cartridges and rifle ammunition are loaded at home each year by lots of people in this country yet how may accidents do you know or read about as a consequence of home loading...
