    PELICAN Cases: Storm, Air, or Protector?

    Exactly my experience. My Pelican case weights 12kg. (Over 26 pounds). Haven't used it in about 20 years. Sitting in the basement.

    Show us pictures of your Tacticool dog!

    This was Sasha. She was an operational police dog for about two years before getting fired and becoming a pet. She was fired because sometimes if she got bored tracking an offender, she would just give up. She was sent for retraining with a new handler but never fully had the drive needed to...

    Rubber Bands on bolt guns?

    In some matches the bolt must be open when moving between positions and the band may be to ensure that it stays open. A 'self-retracting' bolt might be a little bit faster to use and have positive ejection. I dunno. I do like that shooting prop made from the crossed stair stringers though. I...

    Some 'unusual' wiring in Samoa a few years ago.

    No.4 Mk.1 1943

    This is the breach area of the No.9 rifle. You can see the similar rear sights (calibrated for .22LR) and the .22LR chamber. The rifles were converted from No.4 rifles by sleeving the barrel with a .22LR liner and modifying the bolt head with an offset firing pin. Action markings:

    No.4 Mk.1 1943

    I've got one of those peep sights in a box somewhere. I'll have to see if I can fit it to my Lee Enfield No.9 rifle (looks externally like a No.4 but is a single shot in .22LR).

    Bergara 14R CF vs Steel

    I got the steel barrel mainly in case I ever decide to trim a few inches off it to offset the extra length the suppressor adds. Also because carbon fibre doesn't do much for me. Nothing against it, just not for me.

    This is what happens when dirty nasty socialists get bold

    NZ Police used a few 40mm sponge sponge rounds and changed a few behaviours.

    British Broad Arrow marked Alaskan

    Two arrows facing, forming a star, with an S on either side was the usual sold out of service marks on firearms at least.

    Bergara b-14r pic thread

    I like mine more and more every time I shoot it. Still working on finding the most accurate ammo for it and the best value for accuracy and price. I can't afford to shoot Tennex or RWS R50 all the time.

    Pretentious university has the audacity to demand you change your vocabulary

    Seems like you didn't bother the read the article. If you did, you would have seen that the reason they are banishing it is exactly because there is no such word. From the article: “It makes my hair hurt.” As well it should—because it’s not a word.

    Hey NZ and Canada, this true?

    The man in the photograph, Ahamed Aathil Mohamed Samsudeen, a Sri Lankan born ISIS supporter, stabbed eight people in an Auckland supermarket before being shot dead by Police. That is not a photograph of what a terrorist might look like. That is a photograph of an actual terrorist...

    2022- Best .22 LR Suppressor?

    Suppressors are pretty much unregulated, although I think, technically now we are supposed to have to have a firearms licence to be in possession of them as an 'arms Item' under new laws brought in after the Christchurch Mosque shootings. Otherwise we just buy them over the counter like a...

    2022- Best .22 LR Suppressor?

    My $16NZ Aliexpress 'solvent trap' works just as well as my DPT modular on my M&P 15-22 as far as noise reduction goes. It's a little larger and the finish isn't quite as nice but sounds the same to the ear when shooting it. I'm going to buy another couple in 1/2x20 thread to try on some of...

    What's this Return Stock Worth?

    I don't know. It just never came with one. Never worried me enough to complain to them.

    What's this Return Stock Worth?

    I can do (almost) anything reasonable to show it's not a scam. I'm trying to work out the airfreight costs from NZ t the US via different methods and carriers so, if I do sell it, the freight cost would be already known.

    What's this Return Stock Worth?

    I posted this in the Bolt Action Rifles section a few days ago and it was suggested I might get a better answer here in Vintage. I am considering selling my USMC M40A1 return stock and bottom metal. I did have plans to get a clone built or put the stock on my TBA M40A1 but realistically I'm...

    What's it Worth?

    That would be the plan.
