Hi

Our club makes probationary members do a written test also (Inline with the NRA modules) - it is NOT multiple guess, but is fairly straight forward.

Hi, welcome to FBUK.

The Ravens are lovely guns, I've had the pleasure of meeting Paul and seeing them in the flesh. His excellent pictures don't do them justice. That's gonna be quite a hit on your first two guns :o :lol:

Hi everyone, I know you all have read about the FAC Ammo Amounts

One of the rifles i am looking at is a .223 on my FAC form do i just put the .223 or 5.56x45/.223 in both the firearms and ammo

I am wondering with the amount of .22LR i will be putting down 1500 have and 1000, If i try more like 2000
would a "good reason" for this being the type of ammo in the caliber like subsonic, in unjacketed lead, High-velocity,
Standard-velocity

I have read my local club rules on ammo
its stating that with the
indoor 25m range Muzzle velocity - 1710 fps , Muzzle energy - 210 ft lb (must be unjackeded lead)
50m and 100yd outdoor Muzzle velocity - 2000 fps , Muzzle energy - 355 ft lb

I put 5,56x45/.223 for both rifle and ammunition and it was accepted however do take care when purchasing ammunition for a .223 as standard chambered .223's do not like 5,56x45, in fact putting milsurp through a .223 can be dangerous unless it is chambered to accept both 5,56x45 and .223 such as the .223 Wylde chambering.

For .22LR just put that down and it will cover most eventualities.
