No worries, tell him Amir sent you and ( this is the secret ) take a packet of biscuits for the boys!

I can recommend him from personal experience and he will do an fine job.

Store your rifle with the moderator off as combustion gases will rust the hell out of your crown, ideally put them somewhere warm to air out after use before giving them a little spray of oil and putting away.

On a target rifle make sure you have a mirage band as they make heat haze from the barrel much worse.

Biscuit bribery seems ubiquitous in this game. From what I've read, it seems to work with everyone from FEOs, and now to gunsmiths

Of course biscuits work, we are British!

Not a shooting product per se but one that we should all own nonetheless:

That sir is a genius invention,

Very poor design - only holds one biscuit. In my view, a magazine-fed semi-auto biscuit feed would be far superior

Not legal!

Even the bumpfire biscuit dispensers are on thin ice at the moment...

Well yes, the rifle would indeed have to be left at the gunsmith for him to screwcut it but why do you say that the moderator needs to be left with him too?

Surely, that depends on the calibre of the biscuit?
