big rifles

[Guest olofthegr8]

just out of intersest would you be able to get a barrett 50 cal on a fire arms licence in the U.K,

on youtube some of the american public have them.

[hiho 5]

you have to join the fcsa

[SportingShooter 0]

Yes, you can and as said above you need to join the Fifty Calibre Shooters Association.

The only reason you could have for one of these rifle in the UK would be target shooting. There are only a small number of ranges which are approved for the use of .50 BMG, one of which is Sennybridge in the Brecon Beacons.

Out of interest, do people who own those calibre rifles need extra security compared to other calibre rifles?

dunno john but they sure as hell need extra money to pay for those big fu**ing rounds £5 a pop i think.

[SNAP SHOT 194]

try around 7 pounds sterling a pop. the .50 BMG is legal to shoot in the uk. and you can get one for around £3500 from sportsman gun centre.

 

There actully back in price i think i'll buy one.......................

I'm waiting for someone to come along and ask if you can shorten the barrel to make it into a handy 4x4 rabbit gun - like.

[Fidgety 8]

Cheaper option would be to fly to the states and try one, and lots of other kit!

Well, Yes John,

I wander If you can get hollowpoints?

Cooked Rabbit in one go, no fur, guts or head to deal with, vapourised in one go, left with tender Rabbit loin.

Big rifles??

 

I have a Brno ZKK-602 in .458 Lott... does that count?? I didn't need any extra security for it.

 

Great fun to shoot though!! The rifle only weighs 8 pounds, and boy does it rock you when it goes off. I don't shoot it much (£6 a pop), but it surprises people who haven't been exposed to firearms. They never expect it to be so loud, or to recoil so much!!
