    Uh ??? Missed the potency of this comment first time round. Stone me, if an avid Jackal variant collector like you had to wait that long, and as imo the Combat is the best of the batch, mine is defo staying with me for the long haul . Thanks again Pad. Atb: G.

    Similar story for me... 20 years +, given up looking really.
    Then one day shopping, left my wife getting a cup of tea so I could look in a local gun shop - just walked in and there it was ...one luvverly AR7 complete with singlepoint sight and original mount.
    No hesitation, wallet out and a wife who thought I was having a mid-life crisis

    Judging by the amount of offers I've had for it - I ain't the only one who was looking...

    LOL - I am in the States at the moment and sort of rushed the site out before I went.

    The Jackal Balistic Bolts will be added when I get back as well as the tins of Jackal Jets.

    I will also get around to adding my AA Combats and some more on the Hi-Powers when I get a mo.

    Thanks for all the kind words here and on email - much appreciated!

    Gareth - the AA Combats are rare but there are out there, I have picked up a Combat, 4 Hi-Powers a Khamsin, an SE90 and 2 Parabellums already this year and I'm still married!!

    Thanks again guys

    Mike

    Shameless Bank Holiday Bump!

    Ladies & Gents

    I've added quite a bit to the site since launch and am now looking for details / photos of your Jackals / AA variants to catalogue and display.

    I have details of over 50 now but given the near 50,000 produced, am still lacking significantly

    Any help much appreciated.

    Mike

    Hi Mike,

    here is an old Sussex Armory Advert from the guns review. Thought you might be able to use it for your new website.

    All the best

    Great job on the Site (bookmarked)

    I recently sold my minty hi-power to a chap who had one years ago and was very happy to finally get another one.

    I have a scruffy but working example of the singlepoint sight knocking around in my shooting box if anybody is interested? I offered it to the chap who had the gun, but he wasn't bothered.

    hi

    well done ...great work loved these type of sites

    i loved the fact that the singlepoint sight got mentioned to

    i live in manchester and wondered in to the sussex armoury near every week


    with eyes drooling ...... they also had a training rifle in the shop

    never seen one since like an army bolt action thing ....

    i was about the same time i had my m1 carbine and had to buy steel bbs by the thousand
