  2. Of course the question of how the Charities Commission got involved in the first place would be an interesting one. Those commercial entities, such as the Artists (it is a private business, nothing to do with the Artists Rifles anymore) and Bisley shooting Ground, I am sure will be linked back to the original complaints to the CC if that info was available. Then you have the instigator of Gun Room TV who has been deemed not suitable to possess firearms, who takes every opportunity to have a dig at the NRA as well. Sour grapes, poor business planning and personal agendas drive this, not a genuine interest is charitable aims. If you were spending a fortune on a business and, in their own words, financially bailing out the NRA in return for 2 x 21 year leases, wouldn't you have obtained that in the form of a contract? .....................

  4. You'll get a more specific answer on the phone than you will on here.
  5. Why not phone your licensing Dept on Monday and just ask them
  6. There are certain factions of the so called 'shooting media' , or shall we shall social media/self important/self promoting individuals who seek to undermine the NRA because of A, it's not their bag, B, they have personal axes to grind and C, there is no doubt some jealousy going on. The Bisley shooting ground is a civil dispute over tenancy where the Landlord has given notice that the lease won't be renewed and the tenant claims that there was a nod and a wink agreement in the past which should be legally binding. Likewise the previous 'Artist Club' dispute was a privately owned club/business paying a peppercorn rent of circa £9k per annum in leafy Surrey for the clubhouse and didn't feel they should have to pay any more. The tenuous past links to the SAS (now it is privately owned/run and nothing to do with the Artists Rifles) were milked to court support and favour. Personally I don't think you'd be able to rent a single desk office in Surrey for £9k, so the NRA appeared to be within their rights to seek market value IMHO and the same applies to the clay grounds. It's just that some people seem to think it is good ammo for their own agenda to undermine the NRA. The shooting community are their own worst enemies at times.
  7. They are used regularly for CSR, the NRA have hundreds.
  8. Try McQueens Targets https://www.mcqueentargets.com/gallery/military/page/4/#!prettyPhoto
  9. Good reason can be target shooting, just understand why you want/need a different calibre/barrel length etc etc. Why do you want them? That's a good starting point. A .22lr upper is for steel plates, indoor ranges, winter practice etc etc You only need a good reason, just make sure you know what it is and you know what you are talking about. It's no good saying you want a 300 blackout for long range shooting, for example.
  10. It's quite normal to have '.223/5.56 Barrelled Receiver' on an FAC as a spare top half. Lots of people have an AR and then a spare .22 upper or a .300 Blackout upper and use the same lower. You just need to get a variation
  11. Personally I would have said £10 per 100. I bet anyone suggesting £25/100 has no intention of buying any!
  12. for sale - Smith & Wesson 15/22 .22lr AR. Excellent condition, had less than 1000 rounds through it.Comes with Flat Dark Earth Magpul MOE stock and MOE handgrip. MBUS rear and foresight,Two 25 round mags, one FDE.NOW SOLD Advertised elsewhere
  13. Do you have target shooting on your FAC? If not, you'll have to probably do a probationary period with a club before getting full membership. The Dorset Riflemen are not far from you and shoot at Bisley a lot, plus other ranges. South Hants R&PC in Portsmouth also shoot at Bisley once a month. You will need to be a member of a club to get your Shooter Certification Card to be able to shoot at Bisley or any other MOD range. If you join the NRA direct then the cost of the probationer courses will set you back £500. So another club looks like your best option first, then join the NRA.
  14. Have you tried the Fifty Cal Association? You don't need a 50cal to join. I was in ODRC, only ever went to shoots with FCSA at Salisbury. Never met anyone from ODRC or had application countersigned? Just had an FAC and full member of other clubs and that was enough to join. Apart from that, depends what you call long range. You can shoot 1200yds at Bisley
  15. You should be holding the barrel alongside the unit, not sure why you would hold it 18 inches away? The radar isn't a 'beam' as such, it is a continuous 'wave' If you hold the barrel next to the unit as per the instructions the MV will be near as dammit at the muzzle.
  16. Contact S&B direct. I had some repairs done to a scope which included replacing a complete turret on an early PM1, They turned it round in about 2-3 weeks. It cost about 400 Euros all in , but was worth is because it was an early scope in an unusaul magnification
  17. If the transaction is done pre the New Year I will include the rifle, mod, modcover, barrel and reloading gear for £4k as a package
  18. That road down to Rosslea was always referred to as the 9 mile Dash due to the activity of PIRA and frequent illegal VCPs set up by them. we rebuilt the RUC Station in 1987 with 51 Sqn. No mention of awards, but hopefully they were recognised sufficiently.
