Battle Orders closing down?

Subject: Battle Orders closing down? Sun Jan 04, 2009 12:41 am

Web-browsing again..

I might be late but: http://www.battleorders.co.uk/acatalog/MODERN_METAL_REPLICA_GUNS.html
Scroll down and they have a lot of spare parts for sale, seems pretty cheap if you have the time and the means.

Dunno if it is this Feb. though...

Yes Graham (the boss there ) got arrested in January under the VCR act and because of the consequences I guess he has no choice but to shut shop.

As I understand it the offence means he can no longer travel to the US either ( well I read that anyway )

Goes to show you the UK gov are not pissing about and they WILL jump on anyone not obeying the law ...

Battle orders has been running 35 years and I bought my first replica gun from them ( well my folks did )

They're still trading (for the time being at least), they've replied to my e-mail and as long as I can provide proof of Re-enactor group membership and PLI details to comply with VCRA rules they'll accept my order.

There was a couple of items i would have liked but someone else got there first Evil or Very Mad

I can remember as a kid drooling over their ads in the 80s in Gun Mart which at the time ws pretty much the only place advertisong these type of things and Combat and Survival mag from what i can remember.

Shame their going but thats what living in this Communist country(might as well be)is all about-taking away peoples liberties and choice.

It is good to hear that Cerwyn is getting a nice gun for a really good price. Anyway it is a shame that another seller has to close down due to government restrictions ...

Dare i ask which one?

There's a nice looking MGC Sig Sauer P220 with my name on it.

I've seen one "in the flesh" before, it's a really nice looking model and at the advertised price, too good to miss.
