Brit here looking at going for my FAC this year. What should be my first acquisition?
A Holland & Holland double rifle.
Enfield

I wasn't using my kidneys, lungs, liver, pancreas, spleen, intestines or house I suppose.

The SMLE has been tempting me, so much prettier than the No.4 IMO.

200 quid on guntrader. I personally would have to get an Enfield, 98k, Mosin and maybe a Springfield as my first ones just to satisfy the milsurp boner.
Have you done the FAC yet? If so, how painful/time consuming is it?
>>32828736
Just re read the OP, my bad. Let us know how it is some point down the line.

I have my sights set on Enfield, 98K, and a Springfield (I own a bayonet for one so it's basically already decided.) Can't stand Mosins so I will probably give that one a miss. Want to pick up a .22 plinker at some point as well.

I have an acquaintance who has done his, by most accounts it isn't hard as much as it just takes ages to process.

Are ishapore 2a1s available at all in the UK?
If I was English I'd want a SMLE first, then a Martini Henry second. A brown bess third.

The thing with the Martini, is getting ammo is like gold-dust unless you get one of the .303 variants which in my mind spoils the fun.
A Brown Bess would be a hoot for sure.
