    Its bang on, 270 is 6.8 calibre so plenty for 6.5 calibre

    Might be slightly louder than a dedicated 6.5 mod. But if it’s free it can’t be half bad

    What iv got from it, is that if your leaving a gun into storage or of a dealer is selling it for you to make commission on it. Take the mod off before it goes onto the dealers books.

    Another legal hoofing in the you know whats is needed it seems. Ask them what happens then if you sell the gun and keep the silencer or vice versa? How will that be entered into PULSE? Or do you now have to sell both units under their made-up law to be legal?:mad:

    Exactly what i said to the dealer. If the licence is gone or a substitute is got of a different bore. Have i got an illegal firearm. Total joke, but im glad to be over it.
