  1. If you have an FAC then you join the NRA. Having joined, you ask for an SCC assessment for the categories you want/need e.g. Scoped Rifle Iron Sighted Rifle Gallery Rifle HME Target Shotgun They will book you in, you attend, take a multiple choice safety exam (they'll give you the material in advance, if needed), then you go out to the range and do some shooting under observation to make sure you are A, safe and B, can hit the target. Once that is done, the office will normally issue the SCC there and then. If you want more than one category, try and arrange all on the same day. Once you have the SCC you can book Bisley ranges whenever you like as an individual or as part of a group, mark your own, pay for a marker or use the electronics. If part of a group then all of you will need an SCC. It sounds complicated, but it is very simple. I have added HME and Gallery to my SCC on this basis and both times it was a very simple process.
  2. I was keen to understand what data you based your statement on. It was such a broad statement, with no evidence that I was making a point. I'm sure if AI barrels were not consistent, then their quality control would pick it up, but clearly not according to your sources. If you want to get personal, take it elsewhere
  3. That's interesting, what data is your statement based on? Are you saying that the all new ATX's are going to suffer from poor accuracy due to barrel issues?
  4. Don't get me wrong, a national body would be a catastrophe, centralisation rarely works, it just reduces the staff available and makes the bureaucratic chain longer. The current system works in many cases, it just needs polishing in others. Most of the individuals working in the licensing depts don't stay long, they can't be expected to know all the legislation or understand anything about firearms. The roles are low paid and often used as a stepping stone to internal vacancies and progression. Privatisation isn't the answer either, that would simply be a race to the bottom in terms of cost and quality of service.
  5. The Home Office set the guidance, 43 Police Forces interpret it 43 different ways. It is always good to reference it when challenging any conditions/ridiculous requirements or trying to negotiate your storage requirements.

  7. Surely any 11mm dovetail to Picatinny rail converter will suffice? Like this one
  8. I have a few 500qty boxes of both 69gr (S1380) and 77gr SMKs (S9377)69gr - £140 a box77gr - £165 a boxPostage at cost or collect from Bisley
  9. I had a surefire, just bought a new bulb unit which had a cree LED in it, straight swap

    New Rifle.

    I suppose it depends who you listen to Gale McMillan's View
  11. Unfortunately Bradders passed away so will be unable to respond.
  12. When it's 30 degrees and they are in an open field, they are mostly wearings shorts and T shirts, until they don their jacket to shoot. The last few years CSR Championships have been sweltering, so anything that helps cool you has to be of benefit. Not sure about bare feet though, imagine getting sunburnt on the soles of your feet! Ouch!
  13. I am not saying it is not true, but if there was an issue, you would expect a product recall in general
  14. There are no News alerts or Safety Notices posted on the NRA or NSC website, nor is there any info on the S&B website. I find it unlikely that individual club members have been told, with no public announcement. Hardly an effective way to carry out a product recall. What was his source?
  15. Hi Does the Jet Z fit the ASE Borelok muzzle brake? Any photos of the two mods please? cheers
  16. I have sent AI Transit Cases by Parcelforce without issue. Just well wrapped in bin liners and duct tape. Size wasn't an issue
