Blackisler on the other hand has a slot on his FAC for a .303 so the rifle will go to his mate in Scotland, a Registered Firearms Dealer and it will be added to Roberts ticket.
Robert is coming down next June to stay in our gîte and will bring it with him - cost £0! I don't NEED it till November and so he gets to play with it first, just like I did with his Schmidt-Rubin. Simples.....................

I just received a quote for exporting it from the UK to France, £280 / $375 / €312 AND I have to do all the French paperwork.

Now that's a fine example of robbing people with a bureaucratic supplied license to steal. Good thing you and Robert are "mates".

Received my 10 blanks today marked F N * Fabrique National d'Armes de Guerre, Herstal, Belgium.
Yes I know, 12 months to go but you have to buy them when you can

I have some of that stuff, I wish that I had more. We used it for the Bren re-enacting . It cycles pretty good!!
Good and loud in the Lee Enfield. Earplugs are a must!
Look to your front, mark your target when it comes.
