  1. 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.
  2. Home Office Guidance on Firearms Security
  3. Surely any 11mm dovetail to Picatinny rail converter will suffice? Like this one
  4. 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
  5. I had a surefire, just bought a new bulb unit which had a cree LED in it, straight swap

    I suppose it depends who you listen to Gale McMillan's View
  7. Unfortunately Bradders passed away so will be unable to respond.
  8. 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!
  9. I am not saying it is not true, but if there was an issue, you would expect a product recall in general
  10. 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?
  11. Hi Does the Jet Z fit the ASE Borelok muzzle brake? Any photos of the two mods please? cheers
  12. I have sent AI Transit Cases by Parcelforce without issue. Just well wrapped in bin liners and duct tape. Size wasn't an issue
  13. At the moment, Police Firearms Instructors have to do the College of Policing course and be licensed by them. That doesn't prevent ex cops returning as Police Staff and being instructors, but outside contractors aren't licensed, so can't train them and qualify them, for now.
  14. Quite possibly, but steel targets don't shoot back, nor do they explode. Rather changes the dynamics somewhat
  15. No idea, each force is different and buy guns and ammo at their own whim and change them frequently depending which way the wind blows. I expect they shot him twice to start with, assumed he was dead, retired to a safe'ish distance to await EOD, whilst high fiving and organising tea and medals. I mean, who wouldn't have thought he was dead. They probably missed all the vital organs, he came round, they thought 'buggar' , as you would when you think a PBIED is about to be clacked off. Got off as many rounds as possible to neutralise the threat, and some of which missed, as you would expect. Hindsight is a wonderful thing and the 9 o'clock jury (as we used to call them) can disect it slow time, with lots of 'what ifs' and 'should have's'. Bottom line is, they had a fraction of a second to sort it out, and fortunately nobody else got hit. I expect the hit rate in close quarter fighting is much lower than that day, so the fact a few rounds went astray is more than forgivable. I have to say that Narwhale Tusk man and Fire Extinguisher man were the real heroes that day! Together with the Polish bloke with the lance in Fishmonger's. If it hadn't been for them, a lot more people would have been injured or killed.
