Home Office - Recording Rifle Serial Numbers

[dromia]

It's not about guns, it's not bully-boy tactics, it's just that no one effing well trusts anyone anymore! That is what we should lament....

Indeed such are the "benefits" of globalisation where we are no longer people but dehumanised consumers, who would put any trust in a "mere" statistic? The individual no longer recognised or exists in this global hegemony.

We willingly give up our human traits for inhuman digital ones for 24 hour internet, shopping, banking, entertainment etc. etc. to make our selves subject to the tyranny of passwords and moneyless transactions.

Even prescient people like George Orwell never dreamed that we would do all this willingly whilst gleefully paying for it at the same time.

Does anyone know where you can get small stickers printed in volume so I could get all of my serials number each on individual stickers to comply with this nonsense? I'm guessing they would need to be about the same size or smaller as the ones that couriers use for parcel numbers. Signing in at my outdoor rifle club takes long enough just giving the caliber and your membership number let alone with this

Standard Avery Labels come in 65 per A4 sheet, 38x21mm I have a pack if you want some printed off?

That would be too large for the sheets used to record those types of details but that's for the tip . I think it might come down to just printing onto a full A4 sticker and having to cut the buggers out individually

Can't seem to find any sticker printers than can do labels smaller than 10mm in height (double what I'm after). I've typed out all my serial numbers and certificate number as that's being asked for more and more these days, and I can get 75 of each per A4 side so I'm just going to buy some A4 sticky label sheets, print them off then cut them up myself. I think the faffiest part will actually peeling the bloody things and it'd probably be faster to just write them out but hey ho, it keeps me off the streets!

A4, 84 per sheet, 46x11mm but you could print 2 per label and half them to 5.5mm height?

£2.55 for 20 sheets so 3,360 labels :)

Wrong shape boxes and setting the printer up to hit the boxes would make me want to hurt people! Doing it manually is going to be the way for me and I get 10 rows of 75 per A4 sheet! Found full page A4 sticker sheets for £1.50 per 10 so that should do me for the foreseeable future!

We use an MS word document which every member puts all his serial numbers/rifle ID on.
We then put a line through the rifles not being shot that day.
Works for me!
