the replacenent pin for the lynx's bolt came in and the moment i got everything back together i could hear something rattling in the stock. i gave it a shake and what would you know, it was the original pin that came from the bolt. i'm not even a little surprised.

Don't listen to @White Devil he's been practicing his headshots and wants to trick you into leaving your head unguarded because he doesn't know how to shoot below the cranium.
Buy the heaviest and most expensive helmet you can so you can be protected from this maniac after the heat death extinction war.

Sorry, but the boys have got to be safe.
 
So after my last post, I've got another gun in my collection, a GSG Firely. It's basically a SIG Mosquito licensed to another company, but, in accordance with UK law, it looks like this:

(That's not a suppressor, it's all barrel.)
I can't say I mind that much though, it's plenty of fun to shoot, both for target and practical shooting.
Next, I'm shopping for a .223 rifle, and I've been offered a pretty damn good deal on a Sako 85. For a gun like that, I don't think I'm gonna do much better than £850.

For all the dumb requirements you have over there, we can't* get stupidly long barrels for pistols in the States and I sometimes envy that. People scoff about anything longer than a 6" barrel in an autoloader and that makes me sad.


*The one exception is the Sarco 1911 "rifle" kit, but that's about all.

Oddly enough, this is completely legal on an ordinary Firearms Certificate here.

So long as the barrel is at least 12", and the overall length at least 24", it's classified as a long gun. So it can be owned on a Section 1 certificate.
And yeah, the American fixation with short barrels mystifies me. Sure. they have their uses, but I like my Tippman's 16" barrel, especially when I take it out to 100m or more.

Sorry but even with 9mm you’re going to get quite the nut slap

At a certain point, with low-power rounds, long barrels actually increase drag on the projectile as it goes down the barrel.

Now, I think the American fixation with short barrels exemplifies itself in AR-15 barrels firing rounds where this does not apply, but still.

I used to shoot practical minirifle with a 12/24 AR, the shorter barrel made it a little bit "handier" than the longer 22s I've shot and the diminished muzzle velocity is neither here nor there.

The entire point of a handgun is to be easy to carry. Are lever action rifles banned in the UK?

Nope, we can have them. We can have just about anything that isn't a centre-fire auto-loader or a handgun that doesn't meet the length rules. Even then, there are licence categories that allow them, but they're a lot harder to get.
And the short barrel thing was referring more to rifles, I get the point with handguns.

Honest question - if you’re that restricted on pistols why not just get a lever action in a pistol caliber instead?

We like shorter barreled rifles because they’re handier for getting out of vehicles or moving inside a building same as the military. Admittedly some people like them just because they want as close as possible clones to military rifles.

Oh, most lever actions here ARE pistol calibre. The Firefly honestly doesn't feel bad to shoot, not that different to a proper handgun.
That said, if handgun laws were relaxed tomorrow, I'd be at the front of the queue to buy one. It's not perfect, but I'm not dis-satisfied with it either.

From your experiences what’s the most popular lever action rifle caliber?
