My original post was replying to your question regarding proof

and now seems to be going around in circles very quickly.

I wasn't asking you the question, I know the regulations.

If anything went wrong on a range and it was found the rifle wasn't proofed then there would be interesting times for all trying to get compensation (for whatever damage or injury occurred -and Heaven forbid if it was an MoD range).

As John says, the RFD should have given it over if it wasn't proofed.

Best not to get too in depth at this stage, in case the worms leave the can.

Well done on the build though, looks like you have a nice rifle and the satisfaction of assembling it yourself.

Oops,
That should have read "As John says, the RFD shouldn't have given it over if it wasn't proofed."

Is the same rifle build that was posted a few months ago, then entire thread deleted after such questions regarding proof, then reappeared but author had changed his identity ?

It does look familiar. I think it is.

You mean like having a barrel slot on your FAC to self import the parts? Is that how the regulation works?

That is not exactly how it happened, never mind though, end result was that the thread was removed at the request of the OP due to some less than gentlemanly behaviour on another forum.

That sort of behaviour is not tolerated on FB. I do not need to explain what I mean by that because I am confident that the people behaving in this way knows what I mean. Don't bring it here.

Also the latest user who signed up with a totally idiotic user name just to have a dig at another user, obviously you are not being let in and I suggest you find yourself another hobby to spend your time on when you are drunk. I can only assume you were drunk because no normal sober person behaves that way.

I am not responding to any questions regarding this. Just know FB is not tolerating this behaviour.

I was just asking, thats all............seemed to ring a bell.

Not aimed at you Breacher. Just that your post was the perfect starting point for my rant. tongueout
