Well spotted. Yes indeed. I had the pleasure of shooting there in 2018 with the British Alpine Rifles.

Ah it was the Easter meeting. Didn't make it for the Autumn one. I believe my membership application was still in process just before excrement hit the fan last year so I'm not sure of the status. I do plan to become a member. Are you?

A few us from my club were geared up to attend in Easter last year but as you say that all unfortunately fell through. Very much hoping to make it to the next one, whenever that may be.
I don't blame them for being slow given the situation, although would be good to know the status of my application. As soon as I am granted the ability to PM I shall do so, thanks! Still a new member here.

I would be very interested in seeing the left hand operating rod, i didn't know you could get one for the K31.
