Mount Hawke Sniper Posted May 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2013 Cheers gents, Reckon £100 might sort me out in the .22lr dept, What does everyone do about ammo storage Separate cabinet or lockable part of same cabinet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonic Posted May 25, 2013 Report Share Posted May 25, 2013 I have a cabinet with locking top and an electronic safe I tend to keep most ammo in the locking top and mags and a box or two in the safe. As for the safety it does work but I have never relied on a safety but on safe gun handling. The only time the safety is dubious is if the trigger is pulled while its on. I never take the safety off unless pointing at my target or some other safe direction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get it looked at, having had a gun go off through a similar un noticed fault myself over 25 yrs ago the thought of this firearm in use makes me queezy to say the least- it can all go very bad very quickly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonic Posted May 26, 2013 Report Share Posted May 26, 2013 It's not the 1022 it's the Brno. I prefer empty to safety on anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mount Hawke Sniper Posted May 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2013 seems like an old BSA may be a good start in the .22LR dept well made and good value leaves a few more quid in the coffers for the centre fire then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris-NZ Posted May 27, 2013 Report Share Posted May 27, 2013 If you do go the BSA way, make sure it's in top working order coz spare parts won't be available and having a gunsmith fix stuff will quickly ruin the economics. A cheap basic Anschutz or other makes like Krico would equally fit the bill. Chris-NZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris-NZ This is a very important point, if your going to use it (rather than keep it captive in a safe). consider that it will at some stage need a part changing. In the UK that narrows the field some, its not funny paying a days pay to a smith rather than shelling out for a £5 part Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
