The Mighty Prawn Posted October 10, 2018 Report Share Posted October 10, 2018 I believe it’s not at committee stage until Monday 15th so still time to contact your MP if you haven’t already, only by speaking up can we make ourselves heard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only people who care are those who own them, and amongst shooters they are a minority within a minority. Same old same old. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I asked for a source because you said that it had already gone through- which it hasn't. It's extremely likely that it will but it hasn't happened yet.

Jim DiGriz Posted October 11, 2018 Report Share Posted October 11, 2018 The ban has not gone through. An amendment keeping rifles above 10,000ft/lbs as section 1 with additional security was submitted by Sir Geoffrey Clifton-Brown on Wednesday. This will be discussed on Monday at the report stage. Grandfathering has never been an option. For more accurate information go to the FCSA Facebook page. Thanks Darren Secretary FCSA-UK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure about a saviour. You could be a disciple, i think that the 50 cal boys could have done with every single rifle shooter to help out to put more pressure on the antis.

Yes, however if you are pushing it to get the long ranges barrel life is approx 500 rounds, it also kicks the **** out of the brass so reloading is difficult. 1 hour ago, Dougy said: Not sure about a saviour.

Jim DiGriz Posted October 11, 2018 Report Share Posted October 11, 2018 Barrels seam to last for ever, it's a slow lump with cool powder. brass varies with the make, Igman seems to go on forever, just monitor the brass and chuck when looking ropey.
