Great work

Sal That looks even better than I imagined when you told us about it when you were in Leeds. Your tenacity has won through again. It still amazes me that the authorities made it so hard for you to show the pride you have in your country. There should be more people allowed to exhibit such pride. Reg...

Just wait for the evening of march 8th -my time- for pics of the good stuff. :D Wouter Wouter I am sure th...

I'm getting excited! :) Looking forward to seeing Sal & Gail, the team and all of my brothers and sisters of the knife. I know that there has been some interest from members in the USA! :cool:

Ken, Thanks for starting this thread. It is very interesting to read about all the hoops you have to jump through to be allowed to participate in what most Americans have as a right. (It varies a lot from state to state.) I do see that the UK approach would greatly reduce the irresponsible misuse o...

10/22

remington Yellow Jackets .22 LR and CCI Stinger .22 LR are the hottest loads i know of. They work fine in my little Ruger 10/22 autoloader. I love rimfire... fun, cheap, doesn't kill your ears, and doesnt attract much attention. With practice you can unload a 50 round clip in about 20 seconds. :D I...

On the other hand, "sound moderators" are pretty much impossible to acquire legally here. This is one of the few occasions wher UK law is sensible. :) I can't think of many more to be honest. :o I think that the authorities feel that there is less possible disturbance to people, wildlife ...

The bullets generally weigh from 17 to 20 grains, and have expanding designs such has hollow points or soft points. The terminal ballistics of the...

Congrats Ken, and good luck hunting. Think perhaps 98% of all the shooting I've ever done was with a .22 rimfire, although almost all of that was punching holes in paper targets with a handgun. Am curious as to why such a short barrel on the .17 - am not at all familiar with that caliber or cartrid...

Rimfire shooting......

......Hello All I applied for a Fire Arms Certificate about 3 months ago as I hoped to buy two rimfire rifles to use for rabbiting. I thought the fact that I had been shooting air weapons since I was seven year old would help me being given my FAC but I was told by the officer who interviewed me tha...
