As the NRA range office wont put ammo on FAC's I thought I would find somewhere else to buy ammo ahead of Sundays fullbore practice.
Sent an email to Shooting Services and arranged to collect the ammo I needed and can't complain. Brilliant service over the gate with everything I needed. I will more than likely buy ammo there in future rather than from the range office to be honest. Need to support our local RFD's.

I dealt with them about a sales query and also found them very helpful :)

Eh? I bought 100 .223 canned bangs at the NRA last weekend and they entered them as (I believe) required by law on my FAC.Pippin89 wrote:As the NRA range office wont put ammo on FAC's

Re: Sporting Services - Crawley
You must be lucky. All of their notifications say that you can only buy what you will fire on the day and dispose of anything you don't fire. In that case it doesn't have to be entered on your FAC. I believe they are trying to limit their handling of them.daman wrote:Eh?

From their email on 29th May: "If you wish to purchase a larger amount of ammunition or for a FAC entry please call the armoury to discuss the timing and procedure beforehand."Pippin89 wrote:You must be lucky.

So, I phoned and said I want 100 bangs, they asked me to arrive early for my booking, put on some gloves, hand over FAC, step back, then step forward and collect bangs and updated ticket. Simples :-)
But anyway, glad to hear Crawley sorted you out and you were able to get some range time.

Re: Sporting Services - Crawley
I only got what was supplied through the club bookings which said they wouldn't be handling FAC's. There was something about contacting the armoury for larger quantities but I decided it was better to get it sorted before hand.daman wrote:
