I suspect most have had little use. I dropped a CZ452 into Brothers In Arms, Christchurch a while ago. Commission sale. As far as I know it's still there. Possibly worth giving them a call.

If they do decided against lead bullet ban, it will only be to save themselves the effort. Our interests and common sense having little bearing on it. But it would likely only be a postponement. They will just try the sect2/sect1 thing again in a couple of years.

22 rimfire was the wording, if I recall. So 22WMR should be fine too!

Been away from this forum for a while, so missed all this chatter.... I am also going through the sect 11(4) fun and games. In my case this is a private range for friends and family, rather than a traditional club. Though I do run it as a club to get insurance and exemption cert. I've been in...

I see BASC have circulated a new link. The original was being hijacked by non shooters apparently. Assume the other orgs will do similar.

The HMICFR page linked to from the BASC new page, is invalid. There is a message on there saying: "The access to the survey via this link is no longer active. A new link will be shared with you by your firearms organisation shortly. Please keep an eye on your inbox for this update." Not sure...

Target shooting seems to be booming. One of my clubs has a waiting list of well over 300 people. (The club max membership is 600.) Another gets half a dozen enquiries a week, through the website, even though it states that membership is closed.

The official wording went up yesterday: UK REACH restriction for lead in ammunition, 27 June 2025 Reading the wording for the proposed law changes, I reads: " ‘calibre’ means the measurement of the interior (the bore) of a firearm’s barrel and the diameter of projectile used" The way I read...

Only a clay shooter here. I use 28gm carts in all but my SBS guns. In those I use 21gm because of the recoil. It's not the shoulder that hurts, but the trigger finger. When I move to the rear trigger, the recoil caused the front trigger to hit the knuckle of my finger. That hurts after the first...

Look like they are for the old 511 and similar actions ? (I had a few of those not long ago. Brought them just for the mags, as they were rare. Ended up scrapping all but one of the rifles and keeping the mags.)

I have both. Though not used the 22H for quarry yet. But if you are reloading, then if you need a lower power round, just load down some 223rem's ? Personally I think the 22H is a lovely little round. But that is based purely on aesthetics and that it is one of my latest rifles, rather than...

Increasing by inflation is difficult to argue against. But the service has degraded seriously in the last 10 years. So I would argue that an increase by inflation should be linked to a return to 2015 level service. Any increase above that, but an improvement over and above the 2015 situation...

Have just brought a couple of original Labradars (the big orange one). And the only the low power level is selectable. So restricting range. I'm aware that this is because it's a UK/EU version and there are lower power levels permitted on 24GHz. Compared to the US. I'm personally permitted to...

Correction. The 270 rifles are actually BSA. The scope mounts/rings are PH. Appologies for the confusion.

Have some guns from a friend's estate. Buyer collects (as they are not worth enough to be couriering around the country !) Located in the Poole/Bournemouth area. If interested let me know asap. As these are all going to the auction house as soon as I can arrange a date with them. Two...
