brown dog Posted December 14, 2011 Report Share Posted December 14, 2011 Michael Victor of Victor Company has made a very generous gesture I have, from Michael, in my possession two sets of his brand new 1.5 non-folding AICS skins in colour FDE (Flat Dark Earth). We are going to auction these skins here and give all monies over our costs equally to Help for Heroes (H4H) and the Royal British Legion (RBL). At least £50 from each sale will be divided equally and be given to H4H and RBL. The ergonomics and quality of the skins are truly outstanding. For me, they ‘put right’ everything that is wrong about the original AI panels; a perfect trigger finger position can be obtained naturally. The thumb notch is perfectly placed. The foreend has a rounded edge profile that makes the rifle far more comfortable to handle and carry than with the angular profile of the original. The starting bid price for each set is £145, this includes a £50 donation from each set to H4H and RBL (and also includes UK shipping). A total donation by Victor Company and the buyers of at least £100 to these worthy military charities. Bids will be accepted in minimum £5 increments Remember, the £145 price per set already includes a £50 charity donation per set, and all money over £145 per set will be added directly to that £50 donation per set. The auction will close on Monday 16 Jan at 2000hrs (judged by the UKV system clock shown on any bid posts). I will label the 2 sets ‘Set 1’ and ‘Set 2’ please clearly indicate in your post which set you are bidding for. When you place your first bid, please PM me your contact details so that I have them to hand should you win. Please be ‘honourable’ about this; a bid is a 100% firm commitment to buy should you be successful. (Please note: monies will only be accepted by bank transfer, cleared cheque or cash). It's for H4H and RBL: Please tell interested friends! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brown dog Posted December 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2011 Lee has sent me the TAB sling. It is 100% absolutely brand new. For clarity; it is the TAB Regular Biathlon sling with HK hooks(as used on Accuracy International stocks) detail here: https://www.riflesonly.com/pro-shop/tactical-gear/regular-biathlon-sling-rbs.html This is the sling I have - note that it has a built in shooting sling (you can see the sling in use in the pics of the elite sling at the riflesonly site - the only difference between the regular and the elite are the regular has normal rucksack-type buckles, the elite is the same but has air-cargo-type buckles).
