Bump

Mat, where are you based? There may be a local club offering small-bore GR or practical shooting matches/events that will get the old shooting juices flowing again. It might get you back and it'll be cheaper even with the prices of 22LR these days.

The rifle has gone so I have no need for this any more. An Ase Utra Jet-Z Compact rated .30cal, so anything up to 300win mag according to their site. Threaded M18x1. All steel construction and hard as nails. In excellent condition. Pics can be sent on request but a black mod is a black mod. £200 ONO. These are £400 new. Blurb I found online: PERFORMANCE: The jet-Z™ COMPACT suppressor reduces the weapon sound pressure level by 25 to 32 dB (depending on ammunition type, calibre, measurement location etc.), and significantly reduces recoil and muzzle flash.The result is a weapon firing full power ammunition, with a muzzle signature lower than that of an unsuppressed .22 rimfire rifle.

Show-off. Just because you have components. 😁 See you there.

Are you an NRA member? If not, don't you have to be shooting as part of your club's booking? Otherwise I don't think rocking up and shooting as a non-member is allowed. Non-NRA members have to pay an event membership to shoot the matches as it's not their club's booking.

Would you be willing to share the STL files and your methods, etc? Looks like a project for the summer.

I think you have right in most ways. There's no such thing as the RFD FAC just a Certificate of Registration as a Firearms Dealer. Dealers can be a company or a person and police usually require anyone acting on behalf of the RFD to be notified to them. I have seen certificates of registration with servants' names listed in the conditions or (as with my own certificate) with a condition requiring the RFD to notify the relevant Chief Officer of Police with the name, address, DoB etc of any servants who are authorised to be in possession of the firearms and ammo... but their names etc are not listed in the conditions box.* In your scenario, the painters would need to be dealers in their own right and not just FAC holders if they work on controlled components. Someone working in the RFD's shop (or other registered place of business) would be a servant and the relevant police force notified of their servant status. There are only a few special cases where a person can possess (touch) firearms or their components without an FAC, one of those is being an RFD (or the RFD's servant). *Section 8 of the FA1968 refers. AFAIK neither is a legal requirement in itself but as with much of that which is firearms law it is a but fudged. If it is written as a condition on the Certificate of Registration (as in the same way with FAC/SGC) then it is an offence to fail to comply with it, so whatever way your certification department phrase it that is how you will need to do it.

I use them all the time now, both rifle and pistol of both sizes. Never had an ammo issue related to these primers and I've used 1000s of small rifle and many hundreds of the others. And they're cheaper too. 😁

The new version still allows searching as a non-account holder. But it seems to be back to normal now, back to the old version. Perhaps the new one didn't get many positive reviews.

List updated.

Bump.

I'll message you later today too. Thanks.

BFD,👍 I'll PM you later today.

I believe air rifles are different and don't have to follow the same rules as section 1 firearms with regard to length. It might come down to how it is fired that makes it a pistol or a rifle and nothing to do with length. ETA: When the length is mentioned in the Act it specifically exempts air weapons from the requirements (FA1968 S5.1(aba))

But only you have your reasons for wanting. You asked for justification for the slot to give to your certification department but you should already know that. Anyone else's justification would not be yours. Others will have their reasons for why they may want a different rifle, but each person has their own individual reasons and that is what should be stated on any application or variation.

You justify this with your reasons, pure and simple. Why do you want or need another .308? The answer to this is your reason and should be the one you use. Don't be asking a complete stranger or the internet for a reason as you'll get their reason and not yours.

I have a 15lb Thumler's tumbler and I think it has about 2kg/5lb of pins in it. I don't bother drying the pins off after rinsing them clean, they are stainless and I have left them wet for several weeks and no rust at all. If I leave the lid off they will eventually dry out.

That might be more to my liking.😀 Thanks John.

This is my thoughts too. More ranges available as well. The NRL22 has a good format that travels well.

Similarly, I like the idea of it but the cost is a bit prohibitive. How does this cost compare to the other PRS type shoots? Are there any of these around any more?

Interesting. What did this cost for the day?

Off-the-shelf barrels will only be in the common profiles probably a military profile or HBar or something else unsuitable to your needs. If you want something unique or different (as most shooters do) then it will need profiling to your requirements. Takes time and this adds to the cost. If you do want one of the standard barrels fitting is not too hard as a DIY job as long as you can hold the barrel or receiver without distorting the receiver when tightening the barrel nut. Getting hold of one as far as FAC goes may be the biggest issue. Headspace is usually done to a standard bolt and is set to the barrel by the barrel extension which should come with the barrel. They are designed to be fairly interchangeable so no real issues. If you have one cut it can be headspaced to your bolt but it'll not be much different to the standard chamber, unless you want it more specific for a particular chamber/cartridge/bullet fit (not usually a requirement on ARs generally).

You'd be better off putting this in the Wanted section. However, I have some ammo, bullets and cases available. PM me if you're still looking. ETA: Ah, I see the problem: this is your first post in 7 years. If you don't have access to PMs yet just reply here.

GGG 62gn ball ammo is around £65/100 at the moment, it's good stuff for FMJ and more than good enough out to 200yds+ for CSR and the like. If you want match ammo the PPU 75gn seems good value (and the wife's rifle absolutely loves it, which is a bonus) and the GGG 77gn match has great performance but a bit more pricey at around £90/100
