Very nice! My late remlin 357 CSBL is an incredibly smooth rifle, thankfully someone else already put a thread on it so I didn't have to go through the pain. I'll pass this onto a mate who's after a 45-70 lever gun.

I was only able to spend a morning, but what a morning it was! Some great recipe ideas, more N140 than I'd care to have in one place 🫣, and a couple of other bits and bobs later, well worth a trip. Great to be surrounded by like minded individuals, and to try out lots of bit of kit I've ogled...

No wild boar, but Perry's were doing an excellent job on a borderline wild looking goat this morning :)

Getting some bulk powder and wanting some empty powder bottles if people have any spare! More than happy to covers costs plus a couple of beers.

Well that's going on my list of places for the bucket list US aviation trip!

Ooo that is a good idea!

After bagging some boar in the summer, I thought I'd turn my hand to sausages in preparation for the upcoming barbecue season. I did a bit of googling for recipes but in the end walked into my local butcher and just asked what they'd recommend. The final recipe was: 750g Boar offcuts (odd...

Some forces are already granting like for like conversions of mod slots to other firearms, where others are telling applicants to go fish!

I want to think that the price will eventually drop to under £100/k for CCI given they're down to $55/k, but I'd bet we have a single importer and they'll just cackle and make money hand over fist on them.

If you think our mods are stupidly expensive just take a look at pricing the other side of the pond. To be fair some of the modern 3d printed designs are far more performant and they aren't cheap due to the process.

The mag catch length is different for AW mags too, as the magazine sits at a different height

That depends on the chassis system to be fair, there are several that are compatible with AW mags (obviously the action needs to be too)

Glad you like it! You'll have to show it to your friends with Lantac triggers and see what they make of it compared to the default Kriss trigger 😬 As far as cleaning goes, I've thoroughly greased my trigger up and then haven't touched it in ~1000 rounds, still running beautifully.

Evening all - I'm in the process of picking up a K31, and want some factory ammo to get me started. Unfortunately my local is out of stock, does anyone know of anywhere that has it in stock currently? I'm east midlands based.

I've got to say I'm very much enjoying blasting away at targets with 38/357 out of my Marlin. As others have said, very capable for pretty much any animal in the UK too (obvious deer act issues aside) if the Americans who use them on elk and boar are to be believed.
