The PH Gun Cabinet - Shooting Matters
Discussion
pretty bored of revision so....
was trying to get my hatsan escort cycling smoother so did a big clean of the piston etc and then testing different oil levels cycling through snapcaps..
all going well until one of the f
kers gets stuck in the magazine..
cue a complete strip down and then trying to find something long enough to push the fker out from the other end.
at least my gun is nice and clean now!

Anyone on this thread in NE Scotland?
I'm new to the thread, but yes I'm in NE Scotland. Still need to get a shotgun certificate and that sorted out though. My dad has a clutch of guns so if I were to get my own certificate and gun, would I be allowed to keep it in my dads cabinet? skene said:

if you both have certs then i believe you can share a safe yes.. z4chris99 said:

if you both have certs then i believe you can share a safe yes.. you cannot have access to the FAC ammo, and cannot know where the keys to the safe are untill you get a Shotgun certificate - just a warning for when the firearms officer comes around.

I share a safe, however, If you only have shotgun license and the other person has a FAC the FAC guns have to be secured - most easily with a tether, anchored to the wall through a safe. they come in packs of 2 and cost around £10.

That depends on your force. When I discussed 2 people both with FAC's sharing FAC guns with my forces Firearms Licensing dept, they said our tickets had to mirror each other. If a gun was on one ticket, but not the other, it had to be in a separate safe which only the owner had access to.you cannot have access to the FAC ammo, and cannot know where the keys to the safe are untill you get a Shotgun certificate - just a warning for when the firearms officer comes around.
In the end, they couldn't be bothered with the admin of mirroring guns on two FAC's, so I have a condition on my FAC which states "able to use and possess firearms held under Firearm Certificate number xxx." Makes my life easy!
Most forces would say the either the shotguns are in a separate safe you can access, or as there in FAC firearms in the safe you have no access. Ask them and you will tell you what they will approve.

My dad has two cabinets, one for shotguns and one for firearms so we should be okay!
What are the limitations on a cabinet? Do they have to be hidden from view, I.e in a cupboard? I do know they have to be anchored to the wall and floor IIRC
No cupboard needed, I was told you can't be able to see it from a window What are the limitations on a cabinet? Do they have to be hidden from view, I.e in a cupboard? I do know they have to be anchored to the wall and floor IIRC
Get one that conforms to the police standards and should be ok.
My copper just yanked on the safe and it didn't move he didn't check the bolts
not sure our landlords would be too happy with that in all fairness

I think you might struggle with regard to sharing a safe, the guns need to be registered to one person and nobody else should have access. Best bet is to call your local FEO and ask, they're very helpful. Mine is Ian Duncan, based in Inverurie but travels all over the shire.

Needs to be anchored to a load-bearing wall (I.e. not plasterboard) and only the wall.
they like them to be relatively accessible to reduce the risk of guns being left out and about.
after a certain amount of guns, depending on the force, you may need an alarm, which is a pain...
Went out for our mates Clay Shoot in a local field yesterday, and my Miroku 12G O/U kept jamming the cartridges in the ejectors after each shot - its done this all 3 times I've used it.
Seems to vary depending on the make of cartridge used, but its a real pain
Taking it back to the dealer that I bought it from, but wondered if any of the PH Gun collective had any experience with this and any pointers as to the problem

For sure take it back. Seems to vary depending on the make of cartridge used, but its a real pain

I have an older model (6000)
I've put over twenty five thousand shells through mine without a hitch.

Which model of Miroku?
Are the ejectors moving and following their pattern as they should, try using snap caps to find out. Or are the ejectors holding onto the shell?
Have you broken the gun, oiled or greased all the moving parts?
Its a Miroku MK10, the ejectors are not moving back, and the rim of the cartridge seems to jam under the ejectorAre the ejectors moving and following their pattern as they should, try using snap caps to find out. Or are the ejectors holding onto the shell?

I've not done anything to it maintainance wise, as it looked very clean and greased when I bought it. I do break it for storage
