    I didn't see the article and I don't actually know that much about the M4, but it's horses for courses...the more Compact M4 is a great tool in close combat arenas, it's primary use is not as a long range weapon, even though it is quoted as a 500m tool. The AK 47 can't hit a barn door past 300 yards but it strikes me its pretty useful! The 5.56 is an accomplished military round, it had issues in the early days, but changes were made, I don't believe we should be writing off the calibre because results from one make of rifle in some situations are not ideal, the 7.62 is not perfect, nei

    Seems you are new here, it also seems a rather strange situation, from what I could make of it, is there perhaps a little more to this than you have mentioned??
  3. Deker
    Yep!
  4. Deker
    You are of course quite correct, even though the Home Office guide makes it quite clear the .243 is acceptable as a stand alone fox tool!

    Lord knows what she really thought, but she was certainly looking for you!!
  6. Deker
    Well, if you are a chippy and you already have a stock to get dimensions of where the metalwork sits/fits you must have a chance! ATB!

    It's probably me but I'm not quite understanding this ...... No doubt there is more to the story but where have you advised plod you are shooting to get a .243 if the land you have is not massive and full of nervous animals?? Cheers

    Remarkable!!

    The little bugger just sat there eating the sandwich we threw at her..... Edit...took this with the phone today, she was only about 15 feet away and remarkably tame... but wild, for legal reasons she could not be shot! Even though there were 4 rifles aimed at her head!

    60yards .22lr (Subs) 100 yards HMR 200 yards .223 (and all my centrefires) The zero you need is what suits your land, for example, if you can't find a distance further than 100 yards to shoot your .223 anywhere on your land its a bit daft zeroing it for 200 yards!!
  11. Deker
    I'm a little confused, do I take it you don't have these rifles yet?? I suspect there is somewhere to zero but I'm in Reading and my lad is in Swindon and neither of us know of any ranges in the area off hand, I suspect there is one somewhere. BUT... if these rifles will be new to you A trip to Bisley may be useful anyway, but are you in the NRA or a club member, you don't just turn up and shoot at Bisley!!

    Whats your personal opinion Deker regarding bore cleaning on .22 rimfires , are you for or against regular cleaning , John Personally, on the .22lr which I use virtually exclusively for sub sonic lead (the last time I put copper down it was to try the new fragmenting CCI sub stuff...won't be bothering again) it is the least cleaned barrel I have. Certainly the bolt and action are cleaned regularly (the crud builds up), and the barrel probably gets cleaned about every 200 rounds! It works for me but many will have other ideas!

    That is not cheap for a 303, but if it is in as good a condition as you say then sounds ok!! They are good guns, I had one for many years! Any decent RFD should be able to help with the front screw on swivel, but if you have a problem talk to GMK direct........ or possibly here! http://www.brignoliarmi.com/azienda.php

    I was out yesterday and talking about this, so far this year I'm 169 rabbits BEHIND where I was this time last year!!!

    cz 452 .22 silhouette SAK mod 9 - 42 scope cz 457 .223 synthetic t8 mod, but what scope to add any suggestions welcome?? 12b AYA single barrel shotgun 12b Spanish sbs Shotgun What is that??? Cheers

    Cleaning rimfires usually promotes a lot of comment, from never cleaned it in my life to every time I shoot it. Rimfire ammo is filthy as you obviously know and it gets everywhere, the bolt extractors can be a real problem. If you have been exclusively using lead then barrel cleaning should not be too much of a problem, but if you have been using copper coats you will have a bit of work to do. As I have said many times before, Bore Snakes were "invented" to give your shotgun a quick once over in the field to clean the highly corrosive propellant residues out, and then do the job prop

    Who knows what you can get, both if you put the right case, neither if you don't..... I would have to suggest the .243 is more versatile as I'm sure you have found if you have been using them!

    On the application form to join the club it states that i need 2 people to sponsor me , both of good standing , an employer, solicitor etc. I was just wondering if good standing means that they have never been in trouble with the police and that i can use the 2 referees that i did when i applied for my FAC ( GOOD FRIENDS ) who are not professional people John As these are club rules, you really need to ask the club to clarify who is, and who isn't acceptable to them! I would say that if the police find someone acceptable then the club shouldn't argue too much, but it'

    You aren't telling us why it's dangrous though. You are saying that they are different but aren't saying what it is about those differences that make using one in the other dangerous. So what is it that makes 5.56 dangerous in a .223 chamber? Well, as far as pressure specs go CiP say they are identical. That being the case, it can only be something about the physical features of the round/chamber which is causing this danger you speak of. What is it? Of course it's an issue - your gun won't work properly. Personally though, I've seen it happen and it wasn't dangerous from wha

    Guys, you obviously can't read and and you are obviously gamblers, I think we have established that you all agree 7.62/.308 and 5.56/.223 are not the same....if you want to take the chance of using ammo of potentially different pressures and different sizes in your guns you are welcome as I have said from the start. There is a wealth of supporting eveidence and as Codweld likes to say, look it up! SAAMI and CIP agree they are different, if you want to keep trying to see if you have a problem you are welcome. I take it you are suggesting all these have it wrong and you know better..
  21. Deker
    Wikedpedia in all its glory has worded things badly, it means 7.62x51 is interchangeable with .308, it does not mean .308 should be put through a 7.62. If you knew what you were talking about you would know that! Check anywhere you like, here are a few examples! http://www.thegunzone.com/30cal.html http://www.303british.com/id36.html http://guncentral.net/Articles/SAAMIvsNATO.html These all make it clear that .308 through a 7.62 is not clever! Nevertheless, if you want to put .308 through a 7.62 then I for one will not attempt to stop you!
  22. Deker
    It seems I may have got a bit mixed up here, are you asking about forms to join a rifle club, or FAC application forms??
  23. Deker
    There are obviously areas of disagreement here, and I suspect this debate could continue on a long while and get nowhere, as I have said all along if you want to put 5.56 through a .223 or .308 down a 7.62 (or vice versa) you are welcome, I choose not to take the chance. Both SAAMI and CIP note the differences in these and most of you accept there are differences. With regard to wording on your FAC and what you can buy, well again, the debate seems to be raging on with differences of opinion, and as I accepted, perhaps a courtroom is the only place to settle it. I see many of your
  24. Deker
    Thats about the size of it, but as already said if this is your first FAC application you will need to put a strong case for them to give you 3 x .22lr on first grant! I'd say you did well, especially as a .22lr Semi is hardly known as a target tool, but you have not attempted to get 3 x .22lr.. ATB!!
  25. Deker
    Surely the shear fact that the police are willing to do the above shows with no doubt that the rounds are one in the same That is a leap of assumption, it means that they are happy to let you have either, and as has already been agreed, it may be acceptable to put 7.62 down a .308, not the other way round, so I fail to see why that makes them "one and the same" !, after all the police would not agree to let you buy .22H ammunition if you didn't own a .22H rifle or .22rf ammo if you only owned a .22 WMR. Nothing stops a person buy .22rf caps to shoot in their stamped .22LR rifle. If 5.56mm l
