  1. Whats in your stalking kit?

    Yes indeed, ALICE was truly ****, those poor old Yanks... at least MOLLE/PALS are quiet, reliable and things stay put. Seems somewhat overkill for most things and it's a good way to scare the normies even more if they do stumble across you 😅 I have a minimal Baretta chest rig, certainly way...
  2. Substantial, huh?

    I agree with you for traditional alarms. Car alarms prove your point, just an annoyance to people rather than prompting inspection 🙄 A couple have mentioned since, but with stuff like Ring, Blink or more professional systems, if a camera/alarm is triggered between set hours or once you've...
  3. Renewal and medical proforma hold ups

    Nothing exciting to add, but I'm glad you got sorted without anymore headaches. I will also echo the others in recommending the third party medical folks for the future, despite your GP sounding on the ball this time. Naturally all the data sharing didn't fill me with joy, but it'll all be out...
  4. Substantial, huh?

    I agree in principle and I also appreciate if someone shoots a lot of long range and practical shotgun and want a safe full of 9+1 Barettas and Benellis, a pallet of slugs to go with those and some .300 and .338 rifles, then they wish to store them in their home situated firmly in the ghetto...
  5. Substantial, huh?

    I like that reply, I was trying to leave them out of it but it was an A&S FLO who told me this 🤣 For clarity there's very little crime where I am, certainly by todays standards, and I'm not some city dweller 👍 I do actually have blink cameras with recording and phone notification of activation...
  6. Substantial, huh?

    My local police have said something which feels a little off so I wanted to run it by you fart smellers on here 👍 This was direct, not hearsay. So the Home Office guidelines say holding "a substantial number" of firearms can require enhanced security and individual Police approval, we've all...
  7. WARNING!!!

    Just as a heads up for others on this 🙂 Springs don't mind being in a compressed state indefinitely, it makes no odds to them, it's the act of compressing and unloading which gradually wears on them. I know it seems counterintuitive as we seem to naturally think of a spring being compressed for...
  8. Straight Pull Ar15 options

    Damn, I hadn't heard that yet and that's a bit of a shame. I know some of their rifles had a few little questions marks over them but it seemed like they slotted in nicely just above the really cheap stuff like PSA and similar. Some of their AR10 style rifles looked nice. Doesn't matter too...
  9. Shot placement with a difference

    Obviously you're on top of your game, no doubt about it from your posts here 👍 You know your land/permissions/local activity better than anyone and obviously you know what's safe, so nobody's questioning that, lad even explicitly pointed out that he's not questioning it and just wants to learn...
  10. Straight Pull Ar15 options

    Double post, sorry 🤦
  11. Straight Pull Ar15 options

    I can also vouch for the Schmeissers, they've got a fair heritage and I've shot their .223 and 9mm. I'd still go for an LMT if I was pushing the boat out purely for the legitimate MIL background, but you can't go wrong really. Lots of folks at one of my local target clubs seem very happy with...
  12. 223 or 6.5crmr

    A .223 is a great thing to have whatever way you swing it, it's always feels like a very enjoyable calibre to me personally and my T3X is fantastic, especially for the money. If English law matched Scottish, I reckon I could be happy with just .22 LR, a .223 and a 12 gauge in the safe, besides...
  13. .260, Overlooked?

    Quite a lot of Americans hunting Whitetail still seem to be fond of .260. As a mildly interesting and barely relevant side note, I heard recently from a friend training in the US at the moment that some of the more specialised units in the US Army, even right up to Delta Force, are actively...
  14. Rimfire choices

    Always hard to argue with a CZ, the trigger is an easy fix and aftermarket support is plentiful. Tikka's are so good, as you know from your night rig, so a used one may not be a bad call? They're almost boringly good in the way that an old VW Golf was, aren't they... may not be the absolute...
  15. Impressive performance and attitude from Greater Manchester Police

    Glad you're back at it and glad you received a reasonable service 👍 This sounds very impressive for these days and I'm happy some forces are still taking this portion of their job and responsibility seriously, unlike many others. This really should be the norm.
