I thought it was designed for 'carbines' according to the blurb…

Range officer is a real Jobsworth type, he even tried to ban "military" looking guns as it
in his view gave off the wrong image

Tell him to FOAD… the Brown Bess musket is a 'military' gun, Enfield No4 is a 'military' gun…even the Winchester carbine is a 'military' gun if you want to be a bit pedantic…

And it's morons like your range nazi that is strangling the sport of shooting with the insane idea that if we all use 'non threatening' looking firearms, (a contradiction in terms), dress in a 'non threatening' manner, and conduct ourselves like trappist monks, the anti's will grow to love us… NO THEY WON'T!

Range Nazis - Don't you just love'em....

Its this type of attitute that always ensures that I take my SGC LA30 with me to my indoor range

I like to wind them up! Its available in .30 M1 carbine in either lever action or straightpull versions.

.30 carbine is eligible for NRA Gallery rifle comps too, as is the 300 Whisper....despite what your RO says

ETA - Some wooden charcoal burners are old military rifles/pistols....does he allow them ?

I was looking to get a 9mm to start with , then after the initial wade through club bull***t, buy an upper in 300 whisper.
The RO is also the club Sec. Iv only just returned to shooting after a 20 year gap & the attitude towards Practical shooting is just as bad as it was in the 80's.To many Target shooters then were willing to sacrifice practical shooters in the hope the ban would not touch them. I got bo***cked for wearing a pair of NEXT camo shorts in the summer, seems military clothing is to dangerious

Better not go to your club then!
