FAC and penalty points
Good evening,
I have been shooting for close to 2 years and applied for my face a year and 6 month ago.
I’m very worried as I have points on my licence but other than that a clean record
Has anyone ever been in the same or similar situation, I’m really worried I’ll get denied because of it,
Thank you !

Barrel reproofing
Hi all, considering purchasing the linked 10/22 at auction - but it's a bit of an oddity.
It's serial links it to being a model 01117 - 10/22, Blued, 18.5" barrel
But this one is silver/stainless (or perhaps bead blasted receiver?), with a black trigger, rail and blued barrel.
The barrel is also 16" - with a dovetail for the rear sight, and no front sight. The barrel behind the threads also has a little lip.
The auction house says there are no proofing marks near the muzzle, just what seems the be the original, and no extra proof marks by the breach - but to me this appears to be a shortened and re-threaded barrel.
How do I check this? And a side note, what would the consequences be if this is an unproofed barrel?
Many thanks

Shocking gun discipline today…
Cpsa sporting shoot today and I witnessed 3 incidents of terrible discipline.
- exiting the stand with the gun closed and pointing just above horizontal
- taking a gun from a slip and carrying it around closed
- loading a closing a gun without it being over the stand
Same person for the second two. Someone in my squad called him out on it rather insistently!
First time I’ve seen anything that actually made me feel unsafe tbh.

Coach Gun Legality
hi all! just a quick question, would something like a coach gun be legal on an FAC? i know that on an SGC the minimum barrel length is 24" and minimum overall is 40" but afaik this only applies to pump action and semi auto shotguns. i've seen that guns like the bobcat (lever action) have a barrel shorter than 24" and are on an FAC, so theoretically would a coach gun with a barrel length under 24" be legal?
TIA!

Buying first gun
Hi all,
Recently got my FAC and looking to purchase my first file rifle soon.
I'm after a used Ruger 10/22, and sort of realised I have no idea what to expect, what to look for etc when looking and buying
I've found 2 or 3 that I like the look of, all of which are over an hour drive from me as I appear to live in an RFD deadzone (excluding shotguns)
Any tips or generally what to expect very much appreciated
