    Thank you - I have looked them up but it looks like the fitting is proprietary to the MPA RAT chassis. Do they have a version that fits to picatinny as per an AI AX or AR hand guard??

    The RAT (Rapid Adjustment Technology) are clamps that are designed for ARCA rails. 
    You could email MPA and clarify what attachment points you have on your rifle and what RAT clamps you would need for it to work.

    Or you can just reach out to MK Machining who make the Magneto clamping system per the original OP for sale. I have one of the MK clamps for my V1 Sporter chrono and it’s great. They also ship directly to the U.K. MPA don’t I believe. 

  2. I’ve a brand new, never used Area419 Sidewinder self timing muzzle brake. Perfect condition.

    .30cal, M18x1.5 thread (so will fit AI threads) and Nitride coated (black).

    https://www.area419.com/product/sidewinder/

    Sale includes box, brake and the adapter (which screws onto the barrel and the brake screws to the adapter).

    These are probably the best brakes on the market. I already have two on other rifles and they are amazing. They’re so efficient that shooting my .338 Norma Magnum actually feels like like a 6mmBR.

    I paid $260 with shipping, plus an extra £50 customs (so about £240 total)

    NOW SOLD. 

  3. For sale is my used, but perfect condition, annealing machine that I bought from UKV member "raptor calls". 

    It comes with a .308w and a .338L disk. I’ve used the .308 disk for annealing .223, 6.5x47 and 30-06 without issue. The .338L disk was used for .300 Win Mag .338 Norma Mag without issue. Basically, these two disks will cover all your bases!

    Its a great machine and works like a champ!

    Ive got a part used bottle of 750F degree tempilaq and a U.K. 3pin plug/chord.

    SOLD!!!

    ** I also have a 400g GoSystem propane bottle (about half remaining) and the GoSystem fine torch head which can be bought for an additional £15 if the buyer is collecting in person. However I won’t include in the sale if posting due to posting restrictions.

    Bad news is the .30 155 Scenar are no longer made.

    I spoke to Erkki Seikkula at Nammo regarding this, he suggested switching to Scenar L but was very surprised at the 25-30% price difference here.

    With many suppliers in Europe no longer willing to ship to the UK it looks like shooting will be a lot more expensive.

    Yeah I’ve always scratched my head over this. Why & how are all the Lapua distributors on the continent (looked at various German, French, Italian and Spanish) able offer their products at a 20-30% lower price when compared to the U.K. distributor?

    Ditto:  I also find i make less mistakes if i load in stages.

    Yeah, absolutely. Because I don’t have the space for a permanent reloading setup, getting everything set up and packed away afterwards takes time. Anything to save time making rounds is helpful. I find Trying to do everything in one session makes me want to rush, and I have made mistakes in the past as a result. So batching operations is best for me!

  6. As has been said already, there is no issue with priming brass ahead of time. They don’t degrade. 
    I personally love to prime ahead of time, I do it with all my brass. I buy primers in big bulk and I’ll prime a quantity of brass if there’s something particularly slow on tv. It reduces the time spent loading actual rounds, which is helpful for me.
