    Poser for you… is this real or artists rendition?

    Awful movies, all of them. The "Accuracy International" in Sniper 3 is a Rem700 VS in .308, stuck in a AI stock with a new AI shaped cocking piece. I have the serial number of it somewhere in my garage from when I used to own it. There's a scene where Beckett walks behind a line of shooters on...

    Poser for you… is this real or artists rendition?

    It's just had a magazine photoshopped in to make it visible in the picture. There are worse examples around. Like this one from the DVD edition of Sniper 3: The barrel is coming out of the rear of the action in this picture.

    Any Local Ghost Stories worth sharing?

    Galatas barracks at Waiouru Army Camp in New Zealand, where I did my basic training in 1986 were supposedly haunted by two different ghosts. One was in the ablution block and was the typical 'appears behind you in the mirror' ghost of a suicide. All just second or third hand stories and nobody...

    Any Local Ghost Stories worth sharing?

    There's an easy way to tell if your house is haunted: It isn't. Grow up.

    Biden declares Easter as "transgender day of visibility".

    All set up in 2009 to bother the God Botherers in 2024? Okay.

    Biden declares Easter as "transgender day of visibility".

    Ummm..... International Transgender Day of Visibility has been an annual international event on 31 March every year since 2009. Just because Easter Sunday happened to fall on 31 March this year, declaring Biden had anything to do with setting the date of ITDV, especially if someone is claiming...

    Just a rimfire hunt photo

    Went for a walk one night a week or so ago and shot 13 or 14 possums with my 10/22. I saw a few more that I wasn't able to get before they took off around the back of the trees and hid.

    Maggie’s Socially UNacceptable Humor

    About 20 years ago, when I was a beat cop, my partner and I got sent to a local pharmacy for a suspected fraudulent prescription. I spoke to the pharmacist who showed me a hand written prescription for Viagra on a script pad from a hair loss clinic on the other side of the city. The address the...

    Mount can on MkII?

    I used diluted Simple Green and hot water. Most of my cans have steel or stainless steel bodies and baffles. One of my aluminum cans has a stainless baffle first from the muzzle for the blast, before the alloy baffles, . I'll email the manufacturer about ultrasonic cleaning to see what they say.

    Any BEE KEEPERS in here? Need advice

    No advice, but there was a swarm that settled in a gorse bush by the ranges at our pistol club back in November last year. I rang a friend and we went back later that afternoon and collected it in a cardboard box. He transferred them to a spare hive the next day. The honey they make is...

    Mount can on MkII?

    I clean my suppressors, rimfire and centrefire in my ultrasonic cleaner, usually without any difficulty.

    Mauser 98 Israeli rechambered to 308 in the 40s how is the barrel?

    I had one a few years ago. A great fun rifle to shoot, especially with 7.62mm ammo being way cheaper than 8mm. Mine was built with bits from about 5 different guns, but had the byf Mauser factory code on the action and a Czech bottom metal and trigger guard.
