  1. Yeah I think that’s true mate. my hardest task of all is explaining to firearms licensing that I may need a variation to replace a part that has the same serial number and that it wont change on my licence.
  2. Spoke to Dave and we have a game plan sorted !
  3. Yeah mate likewise, my old spikes didn’t have it nor does the one I have recently bought have. only the lower.
  4. I’ve spoke with NWCP about a new receiver and was told that all uppers, lowers and bolts need to be serial numbered now and proofed. Looks like this is maybe not an option now as a simple purchase of a receiver and swap parts over. If this is the case then I am thinking I can keep the lower as that is what has the serial number that is on my licence and ask a RFD to purchase a new upper that I have found on Brownells and be sent to them. I can send down my rifle and then it can be dismantled and reassembled and then off to proof. The RFD can then scrap the old upper and nothing changes on the licence. once Dave emails back I will ask about this. if anyone has any other thoughts or options, I am open to anything.
  5. I found the clamp and have now ordered it. thanks for letting me know that’s what I needed. Wish I knew this prior as this would have saved some money and time. Need to source where I can buy an upper from now. thanks
  6. This is the exact answer I’ve been looking for. Serial is on the lower so I was hoping this was the case. I don’t suppose you have an idea where I can find this clamp do you ? any ideas where I could buy a receiver from ? thanks craig
  7. Well I’ve really done it this time !! I very recently bought a second hand spikes tactical ST22, AR15 style .22 semi auto. it was pretty much bog standard and I spent some decent money buying some parts from Brownells which just got delivered today. money of the bits was a new handguard and when I tried to take the old one off, it looks like I have twisted the upper receiver in the vice. I didn’t realise it wasn’t sitting square. Seems it twisted right below the dust cover area so the pin below doesn’t close when putting back together. The pin at the rear is fine though. really don’t know what my options are now.
  8. I have noticed on some research on forums, 37.5 seems to be a node with 130’s.
  9. Hi mate. thanks for the reply. I went onto their website but can’t see anything for N140 with 130’s. Am I maybe looking on the wrong place ?
  10. Thanks all for the info on this so far. seems like Viht N140 or 150 is the way to go and likely I can use 120’s upto 130’s. didn’t realise Varget and N150 had similar burn rates. I have had great results with the Nosler 120’s BT. I only head or neck shot roe so I guess anything will suffice. thanks Craig
  11. Correct, i remember now i did also see info on N150. How are the Scenarios on expansion ? This is predominantly a hunting rifle.
  12. hello all, Been a while since i posted here but always watching and reading. I am looking for anyone to offer any guidance on data for 6.5x47. I used to use Varget along with 120 Nosler BT which was a great combo. I only have a hand full of these rounds left so need to get organised for new testing. for the weight of the round i am not really fussed and open to suggestions. I know they work very well with weights around the 120 mark but also ready very good accuracy with 130's. I tried Berger when i first tested and could not get them to work so really looking at Sierra or Hornady at those weights. Powder wise i have read about guys using Vit N140 but again i am open to suggestions. Thanks in advance. Craig
  13. Hi Mate, You didn't tell me that the Noveske was no longer being held for me. I do want this, i just need to wait for my FAC to come back.
