Wrong..if it ONLY says .223 on your FAC it is ILLEGAL to sell 5.56. And if they were available, why are they not now, and why does that make them the same in UK law??? I'm afraid it is you that is wrong Decker MY fac says Accuracy International 7.62 x 51 . It also states that for the ammo and guess what when i do buy factory ammo i have no problem buying .308 ammo 5.56 is still avalable but since the two wars on the go not in the quantity it was. If your dealer wants to break the law and you want to put .308 down a 7.62 do I care! Fortunately I had the bra

Guys...I'm sorry, but it just doesn't do it for me, think about it....a world record shot, then a harder world record shot, then another to shoot the machine gun???? I'm good, I know many better than me, and I know what 1200 yard shooting is about, but this is 2707 yards. Ideal conditions or not, he should have done the lottery as well that week! Of course I'm impressed with the work all our lads are doing and I am not for one minute having a go at our forces...but I remain skeptical...something just doesn't smell right, SORRY! -
Happy now are we? Enjoy your life!

Cheers Snap Shot, I've made a note of that, give me a year or two and I may even understand it, but I wouldn't bet on it!! ATB!! BUT, it does seem you can over stabilize a bullet and it's not the best idea!

So what your saying is that no _other_ source of information is legitimate unless either YOU or YOUR mate is spouting it I wonder why ballistics programs, libraries or even this forum exist, why don't you just write "The Dekers guide to shooting and everything else" The forward could read "Fu*k everything you know or have been told or have read, because it's all wrong, coz me and my mate MrLogic know everything there is to know about everything, coz we is clever like that init" You have a greatly increased sense of self worth. Your full of $h!t you hill dwelling t@. John Wh

What sound moderator for Sako Finnfire .22lr?
Deker replied to nessie122's topic in Rimfire, Centrefire & Shotguns
I don't think anyone is having a go at the Parker Hale, it is a mod that many have grown up with and set a standard...."an old friend". The SAK seems to have moved in, and no doubt something else will follow, but there is still only so much you can do! The only thing for certain is that some of the £100++++++++ mods are a waste of money if sound reduction is your objective!! -
This is news to me, where did you get this information please?? This is excellent if the snipers actions saved life or injury to our allies, but something in me is skeptical. For sure this beats the Canadian, which was astounding, but then to do it straight away again! Perhaps I'm just being cynical!

hi deker mate they do issue to pest control companies mate another thing with licences they are very specific even down to the numder of birds you can shoot as well as that the licence is only valid for a short time atb gary Hi gary, ...... and of course they are site specific I think you misunderstood what I said, yes, they do still issue to Pest Control firms, but they are moving away from it and prefer individual site owners to apply. In one case of a very large national company I am closely involved with, they now refuse to take applications from their Pest Contro

So, Why does it say .223 on the rifle and not .223/5.56??? You do what you like, I am happier to accept this.... http://www.thegunzone.com/556v223.html Extract... SAAMI points out that chambers for military rifles have a different throat configuration than chambers for sporting firearms which, together with the full metal jacket of the military projectile, may account for the higher pressures which result when military ammunition is fired in a sporting chamber. SAAMI recommends that a firearm be fired only with the cartridge for which it is specifically chambered by the manufa

As I said before, the same reason my .308 is stamped '.308' and not 7.62mm because it's a civilian rifle. Not sure why some P-H sporting rifles are stamped 7.62 tho John Oh dear...John, for someone who has his head burried in a book (Computer Programme) most of his life I would have though you could come up with something better than that!! So it's Ok to use .308 in a 7.62 on that basis is it???

There is no Swindon in Wales, and location clearly states Swindon, and milo appears remarkably quiet!! Natural England do not like issuing licenses to end users any more, they will in the right circumstances but they prefer the landowner where the problem is occurring to apply for the license, not the Pest Control firm! In some cases they insist!

It doesn't say it is Open. It will say something along the lines of...... land on which the holder has authority to shoot With NO mention of ......Land approved by the Chief Officer of police I can't remember the detail, someone will get theres out and quote it for you exactly I'm sure!!

I had reason to pop into the BFTO at Bisley today and pellet washing and lube was being discussed... so I guess it may have some effect....BUT, these guys are talking about such a high standard even a tiny fraction improvement is welcome. I can't help but think for the VAST majority of shooters, little or no improvement will be seen, unless the pellets start life in a real bad way of course...is it worth the effort, well that's down to you to decide!!! None of the squirrels argued....... and the .22 AA Field they all went down with never saw a sink or lube!!

The .22 does have it's uses!! any excuse to put up that pic deker! It's one of the few I have showing the Falcon....

Ok, I'm struggling to understand why a bipod will put more strain on the front stud than a sling?? Ive not had a problem, don't know anyone who has....perhaps another thread is in order to ask the question, there are loads on here with CZ synthetic stock, easy enough to ask if any have had a bipod problem!!
