Wow….I think I shall clarify the situation so that noone is left in any doubt at all….
Moggy’s first comment was a little too general as he did not tie it down to gunsmiths/reloaders etc.
His second comment is correct…bullet heads from reputable sources will be fine (i.e. gun shops etc).

HOWEVER, there are many heads out there that have originated from crash sites etc that do have explosive or incendary or tracer heads. DeWilde are very nice but should not be touched with a barge pole. During the war the heads were colour coded, years of water/earth etc removes the colour coding. Please be careful fellow forumites…dont buy heads or get them from crash sites is my motto. Hispano heads can be well dodgy as can be WW2 German 7.62’s.

Sorry if this is teaching many to suck eggs, but I would rather not hear any more close shaves…an armour piercing 7.62 head is a scary scary thing…we do have younger readers who may not be totally au fait.

Zombie thread… this is a year old.

and the hurri is a year older!!….your observant nature old fruit shows why you are a good toggy and i am not! 😀

what type of Lotus? I am sure mine could give it a run for the money!!!

Now that will be worth watching!

And in my experience too Fluffy, if the MoD go for something others will too. The unfortunate thing is that the MoD will lead the way with paying for development costs etc and then others will reap the rewards!!

I was surprised to see that Spade grips are now having to be replaced as they become structually unsound…pity.

Thanx TT, I have not managed to get anything out of them yet…which is a pity!!

looks shackleton to me
