    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.

    What's it Worth?

    Considering selling my USMC return M40A1 stock and bottom metal. I had good intentions of getting another clone M40A1 built but realistically, that's not going to happen. There are other toys I'd like to buy though. What's it worth? Just to complicate things, it's located in New Zealand...

    Those damn anti-2A gun-destroying Jack Booted Thugs

    My old man was in the firearms office at the local police station a few years ago getting some paperwork or other signed. An older guy came in wanting to get rid of a pistol he carried on his yacht and now had no use for. The Arms Officer looked at it and told the guy that if he surrendered it...

    Assistance setting up a 22lr for NRL22

    I love my Bergara B14R. I've had it about nine months or so and like it more and more every time I shoot it. I've got a Vortex Strike Eagle 5-25x56 on it. Huge scope but it's mainly for use on a range anyway. I've found it to be very clear and repeatable dialling up 49 MOA to shoot at 300m...

    Cool rifles. Very cool rifles.

    Tank Trap - seeking plans/advice

    I had my son in law make me a knuckle for a tank trap for our club use. The knuckle allows you to slide the wood in and out to adjust the length of the arms for uneven ground or just different height tops to shoot off. This one has 2.00m long 100x100mm (90x90mm) H4 treated dressed posts...

    Simple Barricade Stop for Bergara B14R?

    I've had a couple of jams in PRS matches caused by pressure on the magazine. Fortunately both times I pulled the rifle back a bit and the round went into the chamber. Trying options not to have to drill extra holes first. A longer action screw is no problem. I can get them at a local shop.

    That's the sort of thing I'm looking at.

    Simple Barricade Stop for Bergara B14R?

    What's the simplest barricade stop for a Bergara B14R with a factory stock? I just want a very simple stop to prevent pressure on the magazine causing misfeeds when shooting from awkward positions in PRS matches. Some rails like the Area 419 attach using the front action screw. Is there...

    Snipery Australian Owen semi-auto SMG build FINISHED W/VIDEO

    Very cool. The right coloured paints to finish it are surprisingly bright colours when you see them for real. A friend on mine got hit in the foot with one of these in Viet Nam. He was at his artillery firebase (161 Bty RNZA) when an Australian patrol was contacted only a couple of kilometres...

    Notorious/strange looking movie guns

    To be fair, this is a modified image. The original had the barrel the right way. I owned that rifle when the movie was made. Just the barrel and action, not the AI stock. Another of my rifles, my TBA M40A1, was also in the movie.
