2025 ARMORTEK KIT SURVEY

Over the last few years we have brought out a whole series of kits as a direct result of your feedback - kits like the Pershing, JagdPanther, Hetzer, Leopard 2A4, and more recently the Sd Kfz 7, 88mm Flak 36 and the upcoming Challenger 2.

So, in keeping with what has become and annual tradition, here is your opportunity to once again influence our future production plans.

We have added in some "guide pricing" next to the names of the models. This is a rough estimate of the price at the current rates.

Thanks in advance for your input and we look forward to the results.

Blank Firer

Post by duncanallender »

Hello all,Happy New Year.
I have someone interested in my blank firer for a KT. He is concerned though that he may need a shotgun licence to either transport in his car or to own, as I suppose it could be upgraded to fire live rounds.I didn't think this is the case, but maybe someone on the Forum can give me a definitive answer.
Cheers Dunc

It would be interesting to know of there have been any changes to the laws since the blank firer was designed and approved (Phil W?) but my understanding is that no licence is required to purchase or transport blank shells.

If it was modified to fire live rounds then that's a whole different court case :shock: :shock:

No change blanks is blanks, so long as you don't keep kilos of the things as you then get into the mass explosive content/storage laws,(a simple black powder licence would be required then) the unit was designed to make it impossible to convert to fire live rnds. Regards Phil.
