This just popped up in my recommended youtube video list. I think it's the video from one of the links earlier in the thread. That muzzle brake is awesome!

A friend of mine who shoots 50 cal is having some rifles made for his club in 20mm. The bullet weight and velocity is staggering.waterford103 wrote:I understood the 19mm /3/4" was the max but there are no ranges on which you can shoot due to energy levels . Even military ranges , if you could get permission are marginal. No doubt someone will tell me I'm wrong ;¬)))
I believe the legal limit for civilian firearms is 26mm but I'm sure someone here will know.

...and no MIGHT in the equation if on FAC for re-enacting & no ammo possessed = no range limits apply!Mike95 wrote:Home Office Club cert for full bore states...muzzle energy not to exceed 10,000 ft lbs.....might be uk legal if you can find a suitable range!!
