Hi, is the Al Mar still available? Regards Adam.

Hi Adam, yes it is still available. 

Bump for March. Make me an offer!

Lent bump - give up buying cheap knives!

Still available

😍 Valentines bump - you know you're worth it!

Play around with this calculator- 

http://www.jbmballistics.com/cgi-bin/jbmtraj-5.1.cgi

You can adjust the range increments down to 1yd. Barrel length, sight height, bullet BC - it's all there.

1. The classic Randall 1-7. £600. +++now sold+++Made from high carbon tool steel. Unused and has not been sharpened since I bought it.
The blade is 7" long, has a sharpened swedge and is hand finished.
The standard shape handle is compressed stacked leather, neatly sandwiched between a brass double hilt guard and a Duralumin butt cap.
The leather sheath comes with sharpening stone and is made for a right handed belt carry.
The current wait on a Randall from the Florida workshop is currently 5+ years, so get your Randall Model 1-7 now, without the delay and the hassle of import fees etc.
This will come with the original paper packaging that Randall send their knives in. £600 +++now sold+++

2. The Al Mar SERE Operator. Sold.

This is brand new, made in Japan. It is a modern take on the original Al Mar SERE knife from the 1980s.
This has a 5" blade, full tang, made from VG10 steel.
The handle is black micarta, which has a nice textured finish to it. It is pinned with three hollow rivets and has a lanyard hole.
The black nylon sheath is MOLLE compatible, or can just be worn on the belt.
This is new, never carried, used or sharpened.
It does have two very slight blemishes on the blade, which were there when it arrived from the USA. The price reflects the slights blemishes.
Complete with original box, get yourself a piece of knife history as it is rumoured they will no longer make these in Japan. Sold.

The 'e' one seems strange. According to Remington site, the 700 in .222 Rem was made in 1962 and 1993. The .222 Rem Mag in 1962 -68.  https://www.remington.com/firearm-history/model-700-history

The 'e' serial number was used in 1984 and 2010 (and in 1958, but that is before the 700 was invented). https://www.remingtonsociety.org/manufacture-dates/

It might be worth emailing Remington directly to help you with this.

I don't agree from its very inception the UK those putting on events have always been welcoming and those taking part always happy to help and share information, tips, skills etc.

I attended the inaugural national PR Match back in Oct 2018: INAUGURAL PRS GB UK COMPETITION

At that point the organisers of that event and similar events elsewhere in the UK were planning together how to take this type of match forward in the UK and forming a series of 'League' events. All looked good for the future, more matches, more venues and more fun.

At some point after that there was a falling out between the two 'prime movers', it quickly got nasty and abusive, especially on social media.

I've entered events from both camps since the 'fall out' and they are both well worth taking part in.

Unfortunately there appears to be a 'power/control' grab going on where one camp is moving forward to expand this type of shooting across the world, a laudable endeavour but, currently, it looks like its being poorly executed. Hopefully they can get it back on track, although I think there is some cronyism involved from what I can currently see.

 

Thanks for your reply, good to hear that it was/is positive as it is something I'd really like to do in the future. I will look out for updates on how/when this might be re-starting and get involved!

But, then I read through 60+ mainly negative posts.  What is the matter with PR shooters?  

Guys - if you don't want to compete - fine - it's not compulsory but please, give it a chance - don't rubbish something before it even takes place.

I would like to get into competitive long range shooting and I'm quite excited by the challenges of the style of the PRL shoots and could see myself at least trying it out. There just seems to be a soap opera of some sort attached to the UK endeavour. From this thread it doesn't seem like neophytes would get a look in though. A bit off putting but I would still like to get involved.

I see no problem with this. The primers do not come in hermetically sealed containers.

I always describe brass as 'metal samples' when posting.

Thankfully such biased opinions from Defence Academy staff and others do not influence decisions where it matters. Like I said, the conclusion from an exhaustive series of trials was that the LMG just wasn’t very good - either at hitting the enemy, or at suppressing them. There was a good article about the trials in Soldier magazine. I will see if I can find it.

Good to know. One of the worst modifications they made to the LMG was replace the rear sight drum (a very well made and finely adjustable drum) to the L shape two hole flip sight. Really saw a decrease in effective accuracy then.

The SA80 is pretty accurate, partly due to the piston system. But that weight, before you shove all the 'platform add-ons' is unwieldy and the ergonomics are pretty atrocious. Doing any safety, reload or IA drills makes you seem like you're having a fit. 

Or like that belter at Shrivenham, Lt Col (retd) John Starling who insists that the SA80 in any guise is the best individual weapon, its weight shows that it is robust... He is dismissive of any weapon under 10lb. His position means he preaches his phallacies to thousands of young and impressionable officers and soldiers. 

Sold pending the usual
