oowee Posted April 17, 2021 Report Share Posted April 17, 2021 Mate has one and is bringing it over with a winchester underlever and a long barrel pistol for some plinking next week. What do you want to know? If your local pop over and have a go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Id love to have a go, I'm in Shropshire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry136 Posted April 17, 2021 Report Share Posted April 17, 2021 I had the HK 416, same concept and it was faultless! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newbie to this Posted April 18, 2021 Report Share Posted April 18, 2021 My mate has the HK MP5, but not the SD verision, his only has a 13 inch barrel (I think, where the SD is longer, 16 inch) and it is not very accurate because of this, but it is reliable and he has had no problems with it. He did struggle to get magazines for it though as walther discontinued the HK rifles. It is not ammo fussy and cycles any he has put through it. Accuracy on the SD version should be better because of the longer barrel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If his mate has it on his ticket why would he not be able to use it under supervision when his mate is there? Edit - it would seem not, seems like the rules are a bit behind the times of LBP....

Good point by @D_shooter, someone I know had a reprimand (though it was about 10 years ago) for firing their friend’s LBP on our club’s range when they attended together. Coincidentally my friend has a LBP 🤐 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just didn’t want anyone to get caught out on a relatively unknown rule. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if they shot it together like the pottery scene in Ghost whether it would be legal or not? 😄 Edited April 18, 2021 by Pangolin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
