    Mounting a scope...on an old rifle...

    It's over a month since I said I'd post a photo, but here's my BSA International with a rail added. I don't know who did it, it was done when I got it. The rail is mounted to the barrel. Yes, the scope is mounted very high, but that was a spare mount I had at the time and I've never bothered...

    Parker Hale M82 Clone

    Okay, here is the issued ammo for the New Zealand Army's C3, (or M82, or Parker Hale 1200 if you prefer), sniper rifles when they were in use in the 1980s to about the 1990s, when they were replaced with Accuracy International AW rifles. As I said above, the sniper ammo was just selected lots...

    Tikka T1x not extracting fired cases

    It doesn't take much damage to a chamber mouth to cause difficulty extracting cases. Like hard to see with the naked eye not much. If it is damage, a chamber swage like this one fixes it quickly and simply. https://tandemkross.com/chambermadechamberironingswage Worked perfectly on a Marlin...

    Parker Hale M82 Clone

    When I was in the NZ Army, both regular and reserve from 1986 - 1996 (but not a sniper), they were always referred to as the C3 sniper rifle. Never heard of it called the M82. The issued NZ Army ammo for the C3 was 'selected' lots standard Australian made F4 144gr FMJ ammo made in the...

    Gangster guns of the roaring 20's and the Motor Bandits of the 30's

    A few replaced parts, including the grips (it had Pachmayr grips on it when I got it) , but 1914 from the serial number.

    Micky mouse is dead

    Well over 30 years ago, my cousin, his girlfriend and I rented a house on a farm just north of Wellington. The place was old, cold, drafty and hadn't been lived in for a while before we moved in. In the first few days we heard scratching coming from the ceiling, so I got a ladder and went up...

    Government monitoring bank transactions and immigration check point.??

    I got asked about how much cash I had with me entering the US in 1990. As in did I have more than $10 000 USD cash with me. I said "I should be so lucky, no I do not." She laughed and sent me on my way.

    Parker Hale M82 Clone

    My own ZF-69, off a New Zealand Police SSG-69, has a reticle like a cross between 1A and 4A below. ZF-69s were also used on the earlier NZ Police C3 sniper rifle, which was the same as the NZ Army used at the time. The fine horizontal line is level with the top of the thick horizontal lines...

    Giving up sniffing glue thread

    We had a local idiot, Fletcher, who loved huffing paint, particularly metallics. All his mug shots looked like that. Haven't seen him for a while. Probably dead by now. The ones who sit in their cars inhaling propane are a special breed. Especially special are those who then light up a cigarette.

    Report: LGBTQ Flocking to Gun Ranges Ahead of Trump Inauguration!

    A few years ago a New Zealand Government minister was hit by a flying dildo thrown by a protester: Link to the Wikipedia page on the Waitangi Dildo Incident: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waitangi_dildo_incident

    USMC M40A1 Return Stock Case Study (The Progression of McMillian Stocks)

    As in the photos, mine has AVAIL marked in the barrel channel and 4248 or 4298 on the recoil pad. The condition of the bedding is too good compared to the hard use the outside of the stock has seen, so I'm thinking the bedding was redone at some stage. The rear sling swivel has been replaced...

    Guns or Botes----.

    I like the way the deck opened up from the hull and then snapped back down like a giant mouth.

    Mounting a scope...on an old rifle...

    Very cool. I thought I had a picture of my own BSA MkII to post but I can't find it. I'll have to get it out of the safe and take a couple.

    New Zealand’s Lesbian Navy Captain Loses $100M Naval Ship in Peacetime Disaster – Ship Runs Aground, Catches Fire, and Sinks, Unleashing Oil Spill.

    The first thing on the checklist of what to do if things go wrong on any RNZN ship, including Manawanui, is "Take The Ship In Hand". ie. Have manual control.

    Fieldcraft Visual line of sight tool, to use as you map recon

    That's pretty cool! Easier than counting contour lines on a map and adding a bit for trees etc. to work out intervisibility. Would have made one of my jobs when I was in the army much easier when the boss asked "Can you see that point from this point?"

    Thoughts???

    In this country, yes. (Depending on the competition.)
