You are going to have to seriously rethink your approach to Section V over the next 12 months. One Section V has gone - One is still there but not at this time trading. One is still there and has revised his scale of charges. One is coming out of the shadows and we will have to wait and see how he pans out and this lad has entered the market.

Prices are what they are - If you want cheap ammo go to Kynoch and talk to Dave - see how much you have to buy in one hit to get a reasonable price!!!!!!! and then go lie down in a darkened room.........

I always seem to appear with my black robe, scythe and white horse but again I say to you all - "Times they are a changing".

Live with it.

For 12 years at one event I have provided arms and ammunition for all participants that needed them. Rifles, SMGs and MGs - and still people whinged and bitched! This year the armourer and the arrangements have changed and it's not my doing so I've made it plain from day 1 - not me - new broom - deal with it. I won't be whinged at and I won't take shit when there is no shit to take.... And I don't mean that in a nasty way - but either get a Section 1 and sort out (Steve - I seem to remember writing something similar to this ten years ago!) a bulk buy of blank for your group then distribute it or swallow it and pay the price of what's out there.

There is another alternative - Don't battle!!!!! SIMPLES!
Not a subject you're passionate about then PD :lol:

Very interesting about the FAC Darren - how long ago was it granted?? I doubt very much the same application would succeed under the new CC given what he has stated to my source... 8)

Blimey - I've never heard anybody say that before as I know a few who have drawn a blank (excuse the pun!) when trying for one...

Glad somebody has managed it as it gives a slim ray of hope to others...

So far Hamish (the secton 5 man) has only had one weapon booked to hired out, I am not sure he will be interested in turning up unless we get some more hired out, so if you’re thinking about it now is the time to do it.... :wink:

MG42 at £75 for two days is a winner in my book, this will off set the ammo to a degree and 7.92 rocks so a thumbs up from me. 7.62 is old news, boom not pfut!
