It's a nice site, spotless shower blocks, food and drink, electric hook ups etc. Its in the next field to the SAS base at St Athans.

I wonder if anybody would be interested in me bringing a selection of firearms to one of our meetings and maybe boring you all with a 10 minute talk over lunch time, as I guess we are all interested in this sort of thing. I hold a Firearms license so this would be active equipment.
Just a thought......

I have to be honest and say that this isn't something that would appeal to me.

Okay .... all good, just a thought. Probably a bit inappropriate in the local Scout hut anyway.

Mr Wursel this is a very interesting question. Maybe ask it in the electronics section of the forum or in general questions? I'm sure many would love to chime in Image

Hi all, sorry we missed today.
How did it go?
Kevin, you mentioned firearms, do you have any spent casings that would be about the right size to match a 75mm or 88mm?
