Re: linatex
I am not sure that conveyor belt material conforms to the cirteria for an indoor range certificate

Re: linatex
In the days of the collieries that was all you would see in some ranges, however those days of reduntant belting have long gone. It worked well so long as you didn't use full wad cutters, mind you the same can be said of Linatex.
We changed ours a few years ago and couldn't find an alternative then, just looking to buy some more as it won't get any cheaper, the existing stuff will be turned this year.

Re: linatex
We are currently not able to shoot at our range, as we are waiting for the Army to change the linatex curtain. we have proposed an alteration to the bullet catcher which reduces the amount of linatex required which was suggested by the NSRA, but we have to wait for the RFCA to approve it.

You can either be sure or not sure - if you don't know then don't contribute! sign01shotgun sam wrote:I am not sure that conveyor belt material conforms to the cirteria for an indoor range certificate

Weir Minerals in Yately do Linatex - 9.25x1.2m for £1134.27 and that's the cheapest I have managed to source.

Re: linatex
We just use a thin ish plywood,we tried linatex (the estate agent board plastc sign stuff) and it just made a right mess, and after time dicintagrated quicker than the wood ,so weve stuck to wood ever since......
When someone says "it's not about the money" you know what? it probably is all about money!

The estate boarding stuff is probably Foamex.
