All I know of are SGC, Spikes, Lan Tac, Bradley.

Wouldn't know where to get a Spikes upper from for instance?

If it's against forum rules can someone PM me?

If you want a spikes, get in touch with Wayne from NW Custom parts.

If I was buying an upper, or a whole AR it would most definitely be from Bradley Arms or Lantac. Bradley Arms being my personal preference.

Well I sent my variation off today. Put down .223/5.56 barreled action and bolt. Hopefully they don't ring me asking for a cheque.

Got my certificate back with the variation. It just states .223/5.56 rifle, would I be able to buy an upper with this?

Probably not but ask the supplying RFD.

Also I still have authority to buy/hold .303 ammunition even though I sold my .303 a while back (No longer on ticket). Is that normal?
It's been off for variation twice since I sold it.

My 9mm ammo entitlement just disappeared last year on renewal. That was for a pistol I had way back in the day.

Most likely not.

On the up side, you can get another whole rifle and tell the boss you had to get it cos plod said that was the way it had to be. :goodjob:
