First Variation - Calibre Choice

#1 Post by HALODIN »

Hello,

I'm just entering my first variation where I'd like to add another 7.62/.308 and then probably a .44 Marlin under lever and a .44 Taurus LBR. Firstly does anyone anticipate any problems with adding 3 variations in one go. I appreciated it's £26x3, but that's fine. This isn't a 1-4-1 variation BTW, these would be additional slots of my FAC. Secondly, I've chosen .44 for the UL + LBR just in the interest of being able to load for both simultaneously.

Can anyone see a problem, any oversights or simply does anyone have any alternate suggestions? Incidentally, I've had my FAC 6 months exactly.

2 x .22 (1 FILLED, 1 ON IT'S WAY)
1 x .303 (FILLED)
1 x 5.56/.223
2 x 7.62/.308 (BOTH FILLED)

+ 5 x Moderators (2 RIMFIRE + 3 CENTRE FIRE)

All advice appreciated.

Cheers,

Craig.

It'll only be £26 to add the three slots IIRC.

Undecided yet, but definitely another S1 shotgun, having just one is a massive pain in the ass for PSG and multi-gun comps. .38 lever action, and possibly some kind of front stuffing powder burner. The waiting list for an Armscor is loooong.

I have got:

2 x .22 slots (1filled, 2nd undecided)
1 x S1 shotgun filled
1 x .22 LBP filled
1 x .38 muzzle loading pistol on waiting list (armscor)
1 x .223/5.56 hovering over ordering a Bradley arms AR15

Its only one payment of £26 it doesnt matter how many slots your applying for.

As above, it's £26 fixed fee. I recently had 8 slots added in one hit

308 x1
6.5mm x1
Shotgun x1
.22lbp x1
.357x1
.223 x1
.223 mod x1
6.5mm mod x1

No problems at all but I guess it depends on your force

Thanks for the tip off on Armscor, just looking over their website now!

Nice list, sounds like you've jumped in the deep end like the rest of us... :grin:
