Sco77w Posted April 7, 2015 Report Share Posted April 7, 2015 OK, got my FAC back with my 223 straight pull slot but which rifle should I be looking to buy for practical rifle and CSR (more importantly are there any I should be avoiding) hoping to spend up to £1500 plus optics but if I can get something cheaper it will allow me to modify it to my liking.

ninja_fox Posted April 7, 2015 Report Share Posted April 7, 2015 I'm planning on getting one from Bradley Arms but you could also try Southern Gun Co, NW Custom for Spikes Tactical or Lantac if you win the lottery. I'm sure that there are lots more though! From what I have seen so far everyone seems to have their favourite so you generally find people absolutely loving a company or reviews that say they are worse that Ryanair... Good luck!

I was thinking the BAR15. I emailed Bradley Arms earlier for an idea of costs and options. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
team tractor Posted April 8, 2015 Report Share Posted April 8, 2015 Southern gun are a joke. Quick enough to sell you a gun /parts but not to fix or service it. I loved mine but the service was aweful Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ninja_fox Posted April 8, 2015 Report Share Posted April 8, 2015 I spoke to Mark Bradley a few weeks ago to get an idea of what was he could do - essentially the answer is 'pretty much anything that you want!' Best thing is to get a rough idea of what you want and a budget and he can work something out from there. There are so many different options it's scary; grips, rails, barrels, receivers, triggers... It's easy to go from £1500 to £5k in a couple of minutes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sco77w Posted April 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2015 how did it go with Wayne? Good, seems to be a top bloke and an active practical shooter so not just some bloke wanting your cash. My problem now is my budget isn't going to get me what i want, once I've got an optic and a hand full of magazines I'm looking at close to £2k. got some decisions to make. what I could do is not buy the BR99 shotgun I wanted (Wayne says there problematic at best) and put that cash to the 223.

sidawson Posted April 12, 2015 Report Share Posted April 12, 2015 yeah he seems a good bloke, you'll have to decided which one you'll use more or get buying a few scratchcards and hope for the best Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
