    Do you have pictures and serial numbers of your non-FAC air rifles?

    This is solely referring to non fac air guns - do you have a record of your gun's serial number and any relevant pictures?

    I've included a poll with a few options - hope they make sense. It's an anonymous poll btw

    Cheers - Timmaaah

    /edit - pics additional, really interested in serial numbers

    FAC/SGC holders will be much more likely to record details of their non FAC rifles (I would assume. I do), so wanted to separate them from non FAC/SGC air gunners if you see what I mean?

    A FAC air rifle would have to have it's serial number recorded, but non FAC rifles don't. I'm just curious to know how many non FAC rifles have their serial number recorded/saved/written down by the owner. I think that makes sense

    Original question really refers to serial numbers specifically - pics an added benefit

    Yes, on a spreadsheet. My parents, inlaws and brother have an electronic copy and there's a couple of hard copies securely stash away.

    A good way of highlighting a very valid point.

    It should be a universal part of gun ownership, on or off ticket.

    It would look a bit silly when Mr Plod says "now what was the guns description"

    And you say "well it was a weirauch officer"

    You should guard your serial numbers like your pin number.

    off topic but i took pics of the vin plate and pics of my motorbike and pics of the serial numbers on all my mtbs . so if the police had to look for any of them they had photographic evidence too

    i will be doing the same with any items of value that i own

    The poll refers to non FAC rifles mate, with options of - "FAC holder with sub 12 rifle s/n recorded", "FAC holder with sub 12 rifle not recorded", "Non FAC holder with sub 12 rifle s/n recorded", "non FAC holder with sub 12 rifle s/n not recorded".

    I know off topic sorry but ill just say this.

    I had plenty of pics of my motorbike and all documentation but it still hasnt been found after it was stolen from a POLICE compound yep a police compound who wouldnt even pay me compensation without a very stressfull fight.

    If your guns get stolen and recovered by police you can assume they will be worth a lot less after the Plod have handled them, couldnt believe the state of a mates guns when he got them back.

    Anyhow thats another story we should all take enough precautions so they cant be stolen in the first place.

    i have had two motorbikes stolen and two mtbs . onlu got one motorbike found . they disguised it as another brand of bike lol.

    i know what your saying though . one of my mtbs was nearly 4 grand and data tagged . its never been found hence the reason i wont data tag any of my bikes again
