New Old Stock SUIT Sight for Sale
Roy W replied to Roy W's topic in For Sale (Free Adverts for Private Secondhand Items only)
Back then they were probably less than £25! -
A very rare New Old Stock L2A2 Sight Unit Infantry Trilux (SUIT) for the L1A1 SLR. You never find them in this condition. Minor storage marks and a ding to the nomenclature plate, but that's it. I've even renewed the Tritium Phials for reticle illumination. It even has the remains of a white stamped inspection mark on the underside. 1979 Manufacture. Complete with NOS mount/slide cover. These retail on Milweb, in used refurb'd condition for £690 upwards without the mount. The original mounts are £275. (when available) For Sale £975 plus postage, Advertised elsewhere.

The Phoenix Meeting in May has a 100/200/300 competition, lots of classes including Sporting rifle and 'ANY' rifle. Then there is a 400/500/600 as well. You can get squadded to do 1,2,300 AM then 4,5,600 PM and get drops for all ranges. 100 is standing, 200 is sitting, 3,4,5,600 are prone. Then there is the 8,9,1000 comps as well, again lots of classes to shoot in. It's not pressurised, just turn up at the designated time and the RO's herd the cats. If you are a serious competitor it may frustrate you, but there are plenty of novices and they go at the pace of the slowest shooter, so to speak. Then there is a 200 yard comp in the Spring and Autumn action weekends, with 'ANY' rifle classes, with prone slow time, prone rapid, sitting slow time and sitting rapid. Plenty of opportunities if you can get to Bisley.

And I'll take first dibs on the scope if split. -
Didn't they also say 'No plans to release in the UK at this time' when they launched it? Makes ordering one even more difficult, surely?

Deactivated Firearms - Notification of Possession
Roy W replied to Roy W's topic in General Discussion
Another Pigs ear piece of legislation forced upon us by the EU. Let's hope they undo it soon -
By my reading, anyone who owns a Deactivated Firearms, which was in their possession before 14/09/2018 must now register their ownership with the Home Office as of yesterday.I bet this catches out an awful lot of people who have forgotten.Notification – possession25. Under Regulation 3(1), a person in possession of a deactivated firearm commits an offence unless they have given notice of the deactivated firearm to the appropriate national authority or, where the deactivated firearm has been transferred to the person, the transfer has already been notified by the person transferring it. In most instances this will avoid the need for the same deactivated firearm to be declared twice.26. Notice, where required, must be given on or before the day on which the person first possesses the deactivated firearm or, as soon as reasonably practicable after that date. The notice must give a description of the deactivated firearm including, if known, the make, calibre and serial number of the firearm and state the person’s name and address. There is no need to notify if the person is in possession of the deactivated firearm for a period of 14 days or less.27. A form is provided for this purpose on GOV.UK - Notification of possession of a deactivated firearm to the appropriate national authority.28. The required information must then be submitted to: deactivatedfirearmsnotifications@homeoffice.gov.uk or by registered post or recorded delivery to:Deactivated Firearms Notifications Home Office Serious Violence Unit 5th Floor, Fry Building 2 Marsham Street London SW1P 4DF 29. It is an offence for a person to transfer a deactivated firearm and not give notice of the transfer. Where notice of the transfer is given by the person transferring the deactivated firearm, the person acquiring it does not need to also give notice. However, where a deactivated firearm has been transferred and the person who transferred the firearm did not notify the Home Office of the transfer, the person acquiring the firearm should instead notify.30. Where a person to whom a deactivated firearm has been transferred commits an offence under regulation 3(1), it is a defence for that person to show that they reasonably believed that the transferor had given, or would give, notice of the transfer in accordance with the arrangements set out within Regulation 2. A person guilty of an offence under these Regulations is liable to a level 1 fine (£200).31. Regulation 4 makes transitional provision in respect of regulation 3 so that where a person came into possession of a deactivated firearm before 14 September 2018, the requirement to notify that deactivated firearm under regulation 3 will not take effect until 14 March 2021.32. In practice this means that details of deactivated firearms acquired between 8 April 2016 (the date the EU technical specifications came into effect) and 14 September 2018, and which have remained unaltered ever since do not need to be notified to the appropriate national authority until 14 March 2021. If however at any time before 14 March 2021 a person in possession of a deactivated firearm acquired before 14 September 2018 transfers that deactivated firearm, then they will need to notify the Home Office of the transfer

Roy W replied to gunnery's topic in Target Shooting & Informal Long Range Shooting Practice
The problem with Chobham is only one shooter at a time, stop for half an hour to let Stickledown markers out, each shooter ends up with approx 42 minutes each to prove zero and shoot. And all for about £100 each -
Yep, that one and the 'Medicine in Vietnam' one

Where is it based?
