rbrowning2 Posted October 29, 2016 Report Share Posted October 29, 2016 Just spotted this on one of the suppliers websites. FROM THE GUN TRADE ASSOCIATION 24th OCTOBER 2016 TNT have taken the decision, effective from 14th November 2016, to remove the transport of Firearms, weapons and ammunition from the TNT network. This includes firearms, component parts, moderators, ammunition, all powders, primers and missiles. ** Sadly we will be unable to accept orders requiring delivery of powder after Monday the 7th November 2016 ** Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rovercoupe Posted October 29, 2016 Report Share Posted October 29, 2016 Missiles? Who's mail ordering them! Might be time to buy a van and start a specialist courier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluesj Posted October 29, 2016 Report Share Posted October 29, 2016 I've just placed an order for a round or two of ammo, the rfd didn't see there being any big problem getting it sent to him and he will deliver free orders over £75 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fister, it looks to be new news as last time all TNT stopped delivering was section 5 ammo, seach old PW posts, now it is everything a different ball game I would say.

Wb123 Posted November 16, 2016 Report Share Posted November 16, 2016 I try to buy my ammunition from local shops. Admittedly i have been known to stock up when near shops that are more competitively priced. I struggle to understand how when living under ten miles from the factory Hull compx 21g were £30/1000 more than a four hour drive away at my parents local shop. I used to buy 3000 when visiting home so the savings covered the costs of the trip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
