    I'm done here.

    I think your derogatory comment is unwarranted!
    I sent you two e-mails...both were polite. In one of the e-mails I attached copies of Home Office documentation that I thought would be of interest to you.

    Hello Tac,
    I hope you do not mind me contacting you directly instead of using
    Airgun BBS?

    I cannot upload jpegs so I have to do it this way as the document I
    have has been scanned as a picture file rather than a text file.

    I have attached an extract of the list of obsolete calibre's (page 9),
    which may be of interest?

    The calibre in question is the Martini 45/577. They have it listed as
    the 577/45. (I always put the calibre first, it seems to make more
    sense that way).

    Regards

    Hello Tac,
    The problem seems to be that your reply to my thread states that I
    would be breaking the law if I had a 577/450 without an FAC. It has
    been in the list of obsolete caibres since 2001.

    I have copied the relevant page into a word doc and will post it on BBS
    for the benefit of other people.

    All the best
    Enfield2band.


    I see nothing untoward here!

    If anyone on BBS can I would be grateful if they would point it out!

    Sir - in THREE posts on this subject I have reiterated that without an appropiate entry on your FAC you cannot legally make ammunition for either THIS calibre or any other, obsolete or not.

    Plainly, I understand and am fully cogniscent of the law on this matter, and yet you send me a couple of emails pointing out the blindingly obvious facts that I have already used to write my answers, as though I some kind of limp-brain halfwit who somehow failed to grasp the significance of what I was writing.

    And YOU are offended?

    Get real, Mr enfield2band.

    This really is the last input from me on this thread.
