    Matt, it would be an up hill battle to arm the U.K. police. Management would see any Bobby with a firearm as a potential career threat. God forbid a ‘bad shooting’ with a woke media. Many police officers would see it also as career threatening- physical test, psychological test, re-fresh and qualification courses. H&S would require more advanced first aid , ballistic not just stab vest. Probably not so appealing and stressful to many officers. I also think percentage hit rates would be going down not up by a considerable margin - at least now you select the best candidates to become Firearms Officers.

    Dont get me wrong, I do feel the Czech system of a fully armed police force and civilian CCW is excellent . it’s just that the Czechs had a different history from oppression under communism and nazi Germany to learn from.

     

    Having spoken to a met police officer who was signing up to became a firearms officer  it was a scary conversation  something like

    Do you shoot now ?              answer  NO

    Have you ever shot a gun ?  answer  NO never even held one

    Showed him some vids on my phone from our last visit      i thought he was going to faint

     

    Thank whoever your god may be they arent all like him (or he fails miserably )

    Hmmn.

    Piqued my interest somewhat.

    having had a couple of donor actions based on the 300AAC and also the .17 fireball/.221 fireball, i can say, the actions are subtly different. Factory remmy's in these flavours, have their own magazine follower and mag box as a std gun, they also have a double scalloped feed ramp to function correctly.

    Shouldn't be a problem with a 223 mag , and built in .300AAC.

    I did notice on the video, that there was no mag usage footage though......

    The .458 SOCOM ?

    Hmmn....would be a hell of an Urban fox hammer......

    Under a grand ?

    Never.

    i dont want one    now a wooden stocked AR   ........

    Anyone who takes issue with trade prices has never run a business. Margins are low as it is, without business rates, gas, electric, salaries, NI, Pensions, stock etc etc

    Businesses need a profit margin to survive

    and when bussineses close the same people moan about them closing ....

    When you realise experience (being an old fart) is no substitute for youth.

    She is stronger, faster...... and possibly better looking than me.

     

    Sorry to break the news Dave but given the options for looks  she wins for me ....
