  1. Yes, As you can imagine, we are immensely proud
  2. These have just come to light This is my Grandfather Cpl Michael Bradley (seated) and my Gt Uncle Jim. Michael served with the R Irish Fusiliers in Salonica, Gallipoli, the Balkans and France during the Great War. He was gassed in France which eventually led to his death in 1930. He was a Sniper (obviously where I get it from) and was discharged in 1918 due to illness as no longer fit for war service. We are fortunate that many of their records survived the Blitz, although you can see the charring on the pic above James served with the Royal Inniskilling Fusiliers and was wounded on 13 July 1916 during the Battle of the Somme (Battle of Albert). He received bomb wounds to his face and neck etc and was evacuated to England one week later. He was eventually discharged as no longer fit for war service I have been given my Grandads medals and just had them cleaned and remounted James was entitled to wear a Gold Braid wound distinction strip, you can see it on his lower left arm. He was shot dead in Belfast in 1921
  3. Markers don't just stick spotters in the target by making their own holes...
  4. That they were drawn up by Fred the "Harmourer" says it all
  5. They're mostly youngsters doing it for minimum wage The reason you have markers is because the majority of shooters can't be arsed to do it themselves If some shooter can't get them on the board then why should the onus of responsibility fall on the marker? Those frames at 1000 yds are 12'x6'....that's barn door size, if your shooter can't then hit that proverbial barn door, then does he really have business trying? especially if he has to be withdrawn and sent to the zero range to confirm everything! I was at Bisley yesterday, and we were having enough trouble at 600.....1000 is a totally different story For the record, the backstop on Stickledown is 100 yds behind the target, so it is very difficult to gauge and relay fall of shot
  6. I can't see how hitting the ground 200yds short of the target is the markers fault, or am I missing something here?
  7. If you order a AXMC is will come in .338 as the primary calibre All other barrels/calibres are optional to this
  8. The OP was last on here 5 minutes before the first reply on 26th Nov. He hasn't been back, it was a hit and run post....basically a willy wave "look at me, I'm a 'Merican and can have this and do that etc" You've all been suckered in OP UKV Massiv OP
  9. Provisionally sold? What does that mean? Also, aren't you supposed yo say 'also advertised elsewhere'?
  10. There's a discussion in the Trade section, I'd prefer not to say anything publicly, but if you're 'in the trade' then you can read all about our experiences there
  11. I wouldn't know where to start making something like those
  12. There's already one of our guys making them, can't find the pics though....but I'll get him along shortly
  13. I'm not seeing that button on my screen for some reason
  14. I'm looking forward to receiving mine soon :-)
  15. No, I gave up on them as the barrel break in was a nightmare
  16. The beauty of blanks is you can run a shorter throat
