Reply With QuoteHave any FX users come across the FX smooth twist pellets, in the square tin. I haven't seen any prices, but I think they are in 400s, so that usually seems to mean more expensive. Apparently they are suitable for use in regular rifled barrels too

My fingers are well clear of my ears, and eyes.... "Real world" that should be re-written to your world, where your word is law and all others should accept your preachings.Originally Posted by Terry D
You keep poking your fingers in your ears and doing the 'can't hear you ...' thing, and the rest of us can get on with the real world, mate.
Tell me, do you still think that email from the Home Office was 'created', or do you now accept it is genuine? Just so we know what we're dealing with, here.
For clarification I'm not your mate, we have never even met to be become aquainted, please do not address me as such.
I have no proof of the emails origin, so I neither believe or disbelive the integrity of it, and you appear to be deliberately missing my point on that subject. All I have asked for is proof of the HO clarifying that the previous HOC has been amended, that amendment can only come in the form of another HOC, if it exists then lets see it. Or maybe you could at keast confirm that it does exist if you are not willing to post a scanned copy of it.
We differed in the previously locked thread, the one in which I affirmed my opinion that this has more to do with the GTA trying to protect revenue by blocking movements from the EU. i stand by the opinion due to your affirmation that the GTA requested the meeting, a meeting that did not appear necessary for many years previously but had suddenly become the most important risk to air gunning since the unmentionable subject.

OK, so can you explain the connection between the GTA seeking clarification for its members on the SA issue, and 'blocking movements from the EU'.
I have had several of my readers contact me to ask if SA rifles are OK to buy, so, wishing to provide reliable information, I asked the GTA to advise me. The GTA has over 700 members, most of which are RFDs, and some of those had also enquired about the legality of SA rifles. Thus, as it is duty bound to do and not wishing to wrongly advise hundreds of RFDs that importing SA rifles is OK, the GTA discussed this matter with the Home Office.
That's it. Your concluding sentence is, like many of your 'points', entirely of your own invention. I know no more than what has been sent to me by the GTA and the Home Office, and both communications have been posted on this BBS. Now, please show me where this whole thing has been about 'the GTA trying to protect revenue', as you have repeatedly claimed. Or does your insistence on evidence not apply to yourself?
Finally, you know that email from Adam Lassman at the Home Office is genuine, as does everyone else. Your refusal to accept that confirms what I said in the opening sentence in my previous reply to you.
Have a good weekend, mate.

Mog has so much potential but does not apply himself fully.
With all the talk about a meeting with the Home Office and their subsequent email, one would have thought that HM Customs will have been made aware of the situation. Has anyone any knowledge of SA rifle imports from the EU being embargoed?

Errr, no. I expect they still have in front of them a numbered HOME OFFICE CIRCULAR, explaining that SA is not illegal.

Just had to point this out as well
Mr Lassman's email is, whilst genuine, is contradictory to his own departments earlier HOC (68/097)
Would also like to ask GTA or Trade Members or even MR. T.D. as he is a leading authority on the law which affect us.
Walther CP88 Co2 pistol (and numerous similar) are they in affect section 5 or did the GTA forget to mention these S/A guns which have been sold by their members for a number of years without custodial sentences being served!
Look forward to any of the above replying ! doubt it very much.

I'll reply, no problem. Then you can answer my questions as I've attempted to answer yours.
First, what absolute idiot told you that I was 'a leading authority on the law'? Whoever it was clearly has no idea of what they are talking about. If this claim is another of your inventions, please admit it.
If Adam Lassman's email of a couple of weeks ago is contradictory to a circular issued 18 years ago, then please ask him to explain it. After requests from readers, I needed to know the current legal status of SA rifles, and I'm grateful to Mr Lassman for providing that information, unsolicited, and allowing me to post it on this forum.
As for the status of the CP88 and the others, that's actually a more complicated issue than most, including me, can fully grasp. I've been told by those who know much more than I do about the macro-mechanics of what actually makes a gun a true semi-auto, that the CP88 and its kind are revolvers, due to the way it loads its pellets. I'm sure that will be clarified in time. However that clarification turns out, it will be the Home Office that decides it, not the GTA, and certainly not me.
Now, please tell me what you believe I've done wrong throughout any of this. You've so far claimed I'm some leading authority on the law, which is wrong. You've also claimed I've tried to stop you having your say on this subject, which again is wrong. So, come on, what exactly, apart from doing my best to provide reliable information to my readers, have I done that is wrong?
