    Some nice equipment you got there!

    Why did you renew your proficiency, was that by choice or do you need to do that?

    The training facility was running a special. Do the combo proficiency (Rifle, Handgun, Shotgun, Self-loading) and only pay for 3.
    When the license rules changed, we only ever did an exam on the laws and no practical. So I thought it wouldn't hurt to have everything current, incase the goal posts shift again.

    It was substantially easier to do all 4 proficiencies at once and would recommend that everyone should do it this way, purely out of ease.
    You get one book, write one exam and are involved in all 4 practicals.
    The guys doing two or three had 3 separate books, had to write 2 or 3 separate exams, which covered the same questions and only differed when labeling the firearm and sat around a lot while waiting for the practical that applied to them.

    Ah right. Yeah I regret not doing the self-loading along with the other 3. Seems like such a schlep now to have to redo it after all this time....

    Definitely second this. When I did the 4 proficiencies, the instructor literally placed a self-loading, semi-auto and shotgun next to each other and said "load fire ten rounds from each". So the practical element took about 10 minutes - the handgun was done on it's own using .22 and then 9mm. The semi jammed about 5 times of the ten rounds though..

    Bought a Tipton Universal Bore Guide and a Bore Tech Bronze Brush for that stubborn fouling.

    Question though, what is the cut out in the bristles on the bronze brush meant for?

    Here's a link to a nylon one but the bronze one looks exactly the same.
