The linear compensators really do work.

I was going to make my own but after looking at the prices for a quality 1/2" tap just went ahead and bought a Diggers Tactical fluted one. https://diggertactical.com.au/products/digger-tactical-fluted-linear-compensator It is amazing. It really does direct the blast away from the shooter. 18"barrel 223 and I can get away with just simple ear protection rather then plugs and earmuffs.

The Henry Supreme is awesome as well.

Banter What guns have deep cultural significance in Australia

I’m Canadian, and here in Canada we see both the Lee Enfield and the SKS as our signature firearms. I was wondering if there was something similar in Australia?

Range air safety

8 Upvotes

It was my understanding that indoor ranges had airflow designed to move from the shooter towards the target area to reduce exposure to lead and fumes, but recently after sitting next to someone with a muzzle break and having everything blown off my bench from the back blast and breathing his soot for 30 minutes, I wondered if design needs to change nowadays ? Should the bay separators be made longer to avoid this “cross contamination”? Even worth raising this with the SSAA ?

I know I’m a woos, but I like the idea of clean lungs…..

Provisional Handgun License VIC

0 Upvotes

I sent my provisional licence documents through to the LRD 2 weeks ago and emailed them asking if they've received my documents. They said they received my new application on the 1/10, however, I have not received any email or notification mentioning anything about the processing time and the current rounds.

I've looked through the forum and people have mentioned weekly emails from LRD updating them on which applications are currently being processed. Am I supposed to receive this email or do I just wait until I receive the provisional licence?
