Vince Green Posted February 24, 2021 Report Share Posted February 24, 2021 I would imagine .22 ammo would always have been easy to get hold of for the wrong sort of people. I'm not stupid enough to say how on an open forum but many of you will have an idea what I am getting at. For a start you always used to be able to buy it without a licence in quite a few European countries Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
