Lead wheel weights

[Black Beard]

Yes. Someone will teke them.

I don't know anyone who casts bullet heads - all of those who do casting cast the entire bullet.

Not being a firearms holder I stand corrected awfully nice of you to point that out!!! Not

This is something of a crusade for me - like "clip" to mean "magazine", and "silencer" for "moderator". But some are unwilling to learn and seem to find virtue in getting it wrong......

I put extra wheel weights on one of my neighbours car and on a guy at work ... Just on the front wheels mind .

Old wheel weights that dull like lead are fine to cast with, the newer ones that stay bright and shiny or look coated are usually zinc etc. If I didn't live on the opposite side of the country from you I'd have the former type in a heartbeat.

Cambridge dictionary defines "silencer" as; a piece of equipment that you use on a gun to reduce the noise made when it fires.

SilencerCo, manufacture silencers.... https://silencerco.com/silencers/

A-tec manufacture silencers.... http://www.a-tec.no

And Jackson Rifles, who probably import more silencers than anyone else, call them.... We'll both actually!! http://www.jacksonrifles.com/sak22lr.htm

The term "Silencer" appears nowhere in HO Guidance or firearms law. I prefer to use the correct legal term, rather than that used loosely by the media and fiction writers, but agreed, it is not all that bad since meaning from context is usually clear.

To the OP, old lead wheel weights are perfect for hard cast bullets and these days are much sought after. Modern wheel weights are pretty much useless.

I would have thought that a scrappie would be interested in 50 kilos though - they are no longer allowed to pay cash so you have to have a account but this is not terribly difficult. If you can't find a shooter who lives near enough to make it worthwhile, then give a scrappie a call - no idea what the response might be but worth a call surely?

Really? Have a look at the Home Office circular 031 / 2007 The Violent Crime Reduction Act 2006 (Commencement No 3) Order 2007. Moderators are also referred to as silencers. And in the Department of Business, Inovation and Skills, their Notice to Importers 2878 also utilises the term moderators AND silencers interchangeably. And then we have the much vaunted scoping document of the Law Commission, authored by Rudi Fortson Q.C. At the behest of the Home Office....Yep, you guessed it! Silencers is an interchangeable term with moderator and suppressor!

So as opposed to "appears nowhere", the term silencer, in the context of UK firearms law, trade, business and end users, is not only an acceptable term, but a widespread term.

You might want to consider your position when trying to correct/bully/put down others when attempting to have them conform to your illeducated and narrow view...
