Re: Moderators, silencers, suppressors.

Moderators are a very common item in the UK. You won't see many people going out to shoot deer nowadays without a moderator on their rifle. Many of the precision rifle target shooters use moderators. The traditional iron sight target rifle shooters don't use moderators. If you are shooting on our Fo...

Moderators, silencers, suppressors.

As of today, moderators, silencers or suppressors, whatever you want to call them, are no longer a licenceable object in the UK. Up to today, they were treated the same as if it was a complete firearm and subject to a separate entry on your Firearm Certificate. You still have to have a firearm or sh...

Re: Gun ownership details in the UK.

Shooting guns is a dying activity here in the UK. Not enough youngsters getting involved. A lot of other things they can do without the hassle of jumping through hoops just to shoot a few clay targets at the weekend, never mind trying to shoot targets with a rifle. I think we have had the best of it...

Gun ownership details in the UK.

The government have published details of how many firearms and shotguns are legally held in the UK. The numbers are very small from a population of around 70 million people. It reflects the hoops we have to jump through to own a firearm, so many people who would like to own a gun just don't bother. ...

WW2 Training film

I saw this on you tube, a British infantry training film from 1943 featuring the Bren gun. I thought it was interesting to see how they did things then. Nice music at the beginning.

Re: Minolta X-700 camera

I collected a few Minolta cameras four or five years ago. I hankered after a X-700 but never got one. I got a X-500 and ran some films through it. I have a new film in the fridge to run through one of the cameras, just have to decide which one.

Minolta 160 Riva Zoom

My sister gave me this camera a little while ago. I had been sat in a drawer for years and she asked if I wanted it. I said yes and got a new battery and ran a film through it. The photos came out really well. It has a long zoom lens when fully extended. I will probably use it again as it is quite s...
