    The Heckler&Koch R8 Rifle....hopefully coming to the UK mainland soon.

    Thanks for the info, primary extraction here is key as you dont want to be fighting the rifle during a course of fire. Its all relative of course but we have 4 or 5 AR builders here in the UK. Action from a recent CSR match http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nx60gGA9JLI...

    The Heckler&Koch R8 Rifle....hopefully coming to the UK mainland soon.

    Wow, thats some ugly duckling they got there ;) Whilst I support any manufacturer bringing something new to the UK shooting scene, against a strong AR15 straightpull market, I'm not sure the R8 will cut the mustard. Like the Steyr Aug before it , I can see some people buying one just to be...

    Well if I remember correctly there's import duty (10% i think) and VAT to add (17.5%) plus shipping...then the dealer has to make some profit on it ! For info: 100 rounds 2007 surplus RG 62g 5.56 costs around £30 100 rounds of Wolf 9mm is £17 100 Privi 168g Match is now £59 New...

    2009 New Years Eve Rimfire Match

    Hi Entries from across the pond allowed ? :D I'll try to shoot a couple of targets (red dot and 4x optic) for the sporting rifle class tomorrow night after the Christmas shoot at my local club. I'll be using a V22 AR15, all stock, non-free float, std milspec lower etc. Cheers Steven

    Does anyone actually LIKE the 'standard' grip put on ARs, etc.?

    I have 5 AR's of different flavours...4 of them wear either Magpul MIAD or MOE.. The fifth one has a std A2 grip purely because I haven't gotten around to swapping it out yet...:p

    rifle in 30 carbine?

    IIRC the AL42 (.223) conversion uses Ruger Mini-14 mags. (5 & 20 round). Not sure why they chose those mags over standard AR mags, which are far more common over here. (Straight-pull AR15's dominate the Practical & Civilian Service Rifle matches over here) Cheers Steven
