    Dutch Large Calibre Custom Rifles

    I'm sure I saw a thread on here a while back with a link to a Dutch based outfit that makes .30 calibre air rifles (based on the air ranger??) amongst others.

    Can't find it now and I wanted to use it as an example of how loopy Dutch gun laws are. Am I going mad?

    Cheers

    Dave

    I'm glad someone else remembers the thread. Anybody got a clue as to the Dutch rifle shop?

    I have not seen anything on the Dutch guns for a while.
    Have you tried nearter home?

    These make some rather big calibres...

    Calibres up to .5" and silly muzzle energy.
    One manages 220 ft lbs!

    Home is the Netherlands (for at least 5 days a week )

    I've just been trying to explain to some Dutch friends that they have the most insane airgun laws going:

    Can have any airgun you want, any power level

    BUT it mustn't look like a "real" gun......

    And what can you do with all that power?

    NOT hunting. Hunting with air weapons is banned.

    Bizarre
