C No7 .22 MK1 Extractor (moved)

I don't think so; I'm seeing some shooting friends tomorrow for advice before I get the angle grinder out. 

Premier brand of secure cabinet comes complete with a cheap key! 

Here in Canada, firearms and ammo must be locked away securely in separate cabinets, rooms, bomb shelters or what have you; as long as they are secure. Mine are. They are in a well locked room, with two entries, unlock enter, unlock enter. Inside my gun vault I have racks and cabinets, all locked.

While talking to an OPP officer, I posed a hypothetical Q, what happens if it`s broken into and stuff goes missing.

His response was, in all likely hood you`d be arrested for having unsecured firearms and other controlled items!!!......................

Hows that for being an upstanding law abiding F--king Canadian!!!! Really really starting to hate this reality we call Canada, we`re set up for failure right from the get go.

Mick, that must be frustrating!  

How much time do these laws give you to lock up the ammunition?  As soon as one round is loaded? 15 minutes, 30 minutes after it’s loaded?  Do the reloading components have to be locked up too? A bit absurd…

I was "leant" to a different store  by the company I worked for. It was in Haslemere, Surrey. The house they arranged for me to have temporary accommodation in was one of those "Midsomer Murders rural mansions". It was owned by a widow of a retired military officer who'd passed away some years previously. She rented rooms to students & had 2 staff a gardiner/cook & a maid secretary. She did it "just to hear voices in the empty house"

They had a problem with nuisance deer (siki) which had been brought in, they were damaging trees by bark stripping & eating the vegetables from the garden.

A local Hunter from the village volunteered to "come up when he could" & did, but the deer never kept the appointment!

I mentioned That I could help as i was living there at the time, I just had to get "Avon & Somerset" to talk to "Surrey" constabulary to get my rifle there to be temporarily kept.

"No Need Old Chap, we have guns galore go & pick one"!

Oh Boy, did they ever!

My first & last "Gun Room" visit!

The walls were lined with oak  glass cabinets filled with mostly shotguns. The "cabinets below" held ammunition & handguns! I'm not saying it was huge but there was a full sized snooker (billiards) table in the center with room to play without being constricted!

They "got Away with it" because the room itself was solidly built & the doors both securely locked!

The law states that the storage must be secure, it does not say that an approved steel gunsafe must be used.

Father was in 'extended communication' and arguing the law with the regional Chief Constable when he had a very fortunate 'accident happen'.

Alongside the family farm were two roads that came down to a sharp bend & a junction, we often 'found' stuff that had fallen off trucks going around the corner with a bit too much speed.

Anyway, one day father found a steel box / case that had rolled into the field, - on opening it it contained pistols and ammunition.

The Police 'range' was about 5 miles up the road from us and it seems as if when they were packing up they had put the box on the roof of the car, forgotten it was there and until it got to 'our corner' it just sat on the roof.

Father took great delight in asking the Chief Of Police if he would care to come out and visit him to discuss firearm security, 

"O' and whilst you are here you can collect those pistols your officers lost last week"

Amazingly, Fathers licence was renewed and there was no more discussion about firearm storage.

I've never had the requirement to store the bolt seperately in, Nottinghamshire, North Wales or Lincolnshire.

The problem is that the Police try and interpret the law rather than enforce the law - Had a wonderful argument with my Local Fireams Manager that resulted in him being "removed for office".

He insisted that because I had removed & refitted the furniture I had to resubmit the rifle for proofing, eventually I had to get a letter from the Proof House explaining that they wanted furniture removing before the rifle was sent to them to avoid damage in the clamps.

When I explained to the Chief Constable that the Firearms managers' 'rules' meant that I would be forever sending the rifle for proof, he agreed. The position is now shared between two youg ladies who job-share.

This is what the Fireams Manager rules required ....................

Remove furniture, send to proof house.

Get the rifle back, refit furniture, it now requires re-proofing.

Remove furniture, send to proof house ......................

Ad infinitum.
