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

You HAVE to record the SN of FAC guns.

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 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

I had 1/2 dozen guitars stolen a couple of years ago and found the only one with any real value in a local 2nd hand shop. Proved it was mine through having the serial number and purchase reciept. I got it back from the police 6 months later and the neck was full of dinks, so at some point in the future i gotta strip the neck, steem all the dents out and re-finish it, oh joy....

Oh, and the shop had all the details of the bloke who sold it to them from his driving license, it took the police 6 months to go interview him, i was shocked at this as they were stolen at gunpoint.......
Didn't get charged or owt, apparently you won't get done for thieft unless you pleed guilty...

Tough on crime? My arse!

I have exactly the same - a spreadsheet with full details of every one of my 48 air rifles with HQ colour photos too

Me too full details include cost and current values - I wouldn't want my non interested family disposing of them all for peanuts if I dropped dead tomorrow.
