Lol. Unicorn rifle. I touched one once.

What's the unicorn rifle?

[breacher]

You should have just bought Lantac's Sub-Raven and be done with it.

Nope - happy with my rifle. Just modifying it.

No need to get another.

[safetyfirst]

Unicorn as in mythical, rare, etc.

Unicorn as in mythical, rare, etc.

But what exactly is the unicorn rifle in the lantac context?

I think he's referring to the scarce Lantac Sub-Raven.

[safetyfirst]

You are correct.

Vickers Armstrong Mk1 'Special' fitted with Parker Hale 'Perfection' rearsight
Circa 1926

[Iain]

The Vickers also came with some ammo:


ICI Military issue - 1938 & 1941


And some still sealed - 1937 & 1941


Some good old stuff from the USofA circa 1960's I think.


And again


Eley before it became Eley - circa late 1950's.

We recently put some of that Winchester staynless stuff through a club semi auto. Still went bang!

Back in the 1970s, we had a club Mk4 Webley .22 revolver. Some of the rifle guys decided to have a pistol shoot and so they dug into their lockers to find all the old ammo that they had been hording for years. On the next pistol night, I opened the safe and the Webley was standing on a damp patch. The cylinder bores were red rust and dripping wet. The rifle guys claimed that the ammo was marked: "non-corrosive" and they had believed it.
