Maybe off topic and apologies in advance for being so, however it's something that needs raising awareness of -

If you're a UK shooter it's worth finding out what a MARS rifle is - it, along with 50 cal, is currently under UK government consultation, namely "moving two firearms (.50 calibre and certain rapid firing rifles) from the general licensing arrangements to the stricter provisions of section 5 of the Firearms Act 1968".
This means banning them.
Few people shoot 50 cal I know, and yes it doesn't directly affect me either if they get banned, but it comes across as divide and conquer, once they've gone what's the next category to get rid of?
It's worth looking into and writing to your MP about.
Sorry again to hijack the thread but the more people that know about this the better.

You are absolutely correct, one way or another this concerns all of us that shoot. There is also a plan to put a maximum MV on in the legislation. Once you have a maximum MV restriction, it is but the moment of a piece of delegated legislation to knock another nought off the end.........

The consultation closes on 9 December, and I intend to put my comments in well before time.
