East Midlands Regional Range shop EMRR Problem

[nige346]

Hi

Does anyone know if the above business is still trading, I ordered a Walther cylinder come them back in August and was told delivery would be early to mid September, I have tried emailing several times and don't get a response, tried calling and can't get an answer, now nearing the end of October and I have still not recieved the cylinder or any communication and still can't get hold of anyone. At present it would appear I've lost just under £160.

Does anyone know or have similar issues with this shop, I wouldn't normally post this sort of stuff but the lack of any response is now worrying. I've actually given up with the Walther now as was unable to enter some comps due to cylinder being out of date and no further with a possible replacement from this company.

Cheers

No idea on the shop, but the out of date cylinder will not stop you entering any thing, EC will only advise, even at top level, Internationaly and under full ISSF rules.

Rule 6.7.7.1

g) It is the athletes responsibility that any air or CO2 cylinder is within the manufacturer's validity date (maximum of ten (10) years); this may be checked by equipment control and advisory recomendations may be given;

Its now only advisory, and they will tell you its out of date but it will not fail EC. And in practice its now accepted as piece of Jobsworthing that is only in the rules to cover rear ends.

Don't worry about it, best of luck finding out whats happened to the shop.

Cheers Robin, That means that my Morini ones are still Ok as well within the Morini stated 20 year life, I see now that issf are banning side blinder's on shooting glasses for pistol shooters, below taken from the 2017 rules amendment.

Blinders. Rifle, pistol and shotgun athletes can use one front blinder (30 mm maximum width). Only shotgun athletes will be permitted to wear side blinders (60 mm maximum depth). Rifle and Pistol athletes may no longer wear side blinders.

I was one of the contributors to that thread mentioned on STB, I got annoyed and physically went to his house to sort it out. He seemed ok with me but that was considerable time ago now, things may well have changed. I'd go down the same route as the lady in the thread as that eventually worked out to be a success. Hope it goes well for you too
