Armalon .45acp cannot wait for the ranges to open👍👍
Oooh, very nice. I've got one of those with the full length moderator, so it looks like a De Lisle carbine. Great fun at 25 and 50m. Even tried it at 100m a couple of times - you can watch the bullet while it is on its travels.

Speaking of new guns ...

Ruger American in 300AAC
Ruger.jpg
Worst bolt I've seen for a while, lots of machining marks etc. Basically as rough as a Badgers Ass !!

Also the wrong magazine, they supply a standard 10 round Gen.3 P-Mag for 223/5.56, this is no use for 300AAC due to the internal ribs (which normally fit against the 223 case neck) pushing the wider .30 bullets over towards the centre of the magazine. This can cause feed problems.

Magpul do make a specific mag for the 300AAC with modified ribs so I've ordered one of those, problem is there's only the 30 round versions available here so a bit long for bench rest!..

FEG.jpg
Brand new FEG 9mm (Browning High Power Copy) from Hungary. Tested recently its me that can't shoot straight, pistol is perfect.

I have this as I collect Browning pistols and this is a direct copy of the High Power and most if not all parts are interchangeable with Mr Browning's design, & there are only less than ten in the UK.
