Bit of an eye opener, one on Gunstar, like new £900!! I’ll pass I reckon 😑

Looks like the same one is on Guntrader for £850, I'm sure these were only £700 when they were new.

Done.

I'll let you see the new Lantac 9mm SP soon enough.

CCI Standard is the most consistent and reliable in my match chambered Lantac.

Blaser, Aguila, Federal, Eley all work, but the CCI was the most reliable.

I'm curious, did this club have their own range or did they shoot on MOD ranges?

Wow, £17 is a steal for these mags 👍

I have 3 of them already, so don't need more.

EMRR has the grey CMMG mags for £17, then use RIT dye to make them black.

I've sold my CMMG, the Lantac LA-SF15 does everything I want.

Pop quiz; name the middlemen MOD Abbeywood has used rather than buying direct ("because we need someone who can do the 'complicated' export paperwork")

Daniel Defense

Magpul

Glock

Edgars for DD and Magpul, but Viking for Glock.

As an outsider, and considering the UK has been involved in sandy conditions conflict, I have often wondered if the South African R4 would have been a better and cheaper solution than the SA80? Interested to hear comments from people who really know about this stuff.

 

David.

A 1970s design with an action designed in the 1940s, they might as well have stuck with the original AR-18.

Does anyone happen to know if the 30 rnd Colt .22 AR mags fit the CMMG AR's or are they perculia to the Colt model?

These mags are for the Umarex series of rifle, the Colt M4, HK416, HKG36 and the recent Hammerli rifle they won't fit or feed any milspec AR.

The most common problem with a 15-22 jamming is the extractor. Swapping it with a Volquartsen extractor cures it, usually. 

LA-SF15 Compact from Lantac,  Match chambered 12.5" barrel.

The standard version has a 16" barrel. https://www.lannertactical.com/product-page/lantac-la-sf15-22lr-semi-auto-rifle

A terrible business model, for the customer.

Still £975, expensive for a $500 rifle.

Rifle is a Lantac LA-SF15, with some modification by me.

That red dot is for sale on here somewhere...

Krytac make most of the parts for the Defiance. 

It's essentially a .22 version of the Krytac Trident airsoft rifle.

The handguard is made in China, because M-Lok is a free license from Magpul, but they won't grant a license unless the parts are made in the USA.

Fondled it at SHOT show in January, could be a quite a fun gun but 2 things bug me about it, the small mag and the plain ugliness of a long barrel Vector.

Kriss say 30 round mags are on the way, but they have previous for not delivering higher capacity mags for their Defiance models, currently only offered with a 15 round mag.

Barrels can be shortened, but that adds to the expense and this should really be a cheap fun plinker.

On the positive side it feels quite well made and is actually made by Kriss, unlike the Defiance.

Some of the so-called 1x- Low Powered Variable Optics aren't true 1x often they're slightly higher 1.2-3 etc.

Try before you buy in this market.

I've had the Vortex Strike Eagles in 1-6 and and 1-8,  wasn't a fan of the 1-6 reticle so traded up to the 1-8, but found the glass not that clear, better reticle though.

The old Vortex PST 1-4 was in a QD mount so fitted it to my newest .22 for a test and took it the the range later that week. They don't make this scope anymore, but it was a excellent buy for the clarity of glass in this price range at the time. A further plus it was shorter and relatively light weight compared to recent models.

The QD mount has been ditched and I'm sticking to this setup for the year. Swap the Atec Wave mod with a A1 style birdcage for mini rifle stuff.

Last summer when shooting short range matches out to 50 yards,  used a Vortex SPARC AR RDS (red dot sight).

Hopefully this post is clearer than my previous in this thread. 

Depends, I like a red dot out to about 50yards and a LVPO past that. I use a Vortex PST 1-4 with a switchview speedlever in a Warne Skel.

For quality AR cantilever mount that won't break the bank I'd go with the Warne Skel.
