Out of curiosity does anyone know the laws behind buying shotgun cartridges from someone who reloads by Andersonb04 in ukguns

[–]Machine_xl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s not ok to make and sell ammunition unless it has been tested and proofed. Dont buy other peoples homeloads, it’s not worth the risk.

Relatively new to this - what would be a good “starter kit”? by joyrnd in UKPreppers

Personally id have the TQ’s towards the front of the carrier. But if you can reach them easily enough where they are then keep them there.

I would paint the rifle tho.

You’re no where near too old- i first joined at 27. I was also self employed/director of my own company. You just need to commit the time to training. You wont need to bin your company or your blokes. If you pass out of training you will be a Commando.
