    What happen when you throw ammo in fire!

    When I was in the Army, we used to stick old small arms ammo in drum, pour diesel over it and set it on fire to get rid of it. This was mainly .30cal belts and 2in mortar smoke in the drums.

    If you could learn the truth about any single event in history

    You are wrong. I don't have an arsehole, so it doesn't stink. And if you think I'm going to watch a five and a quarter hour video, then you are fucking mental. I'm not on anybody's side, but certainly not yours.

    If you could learn the truth about any single event in history

    Simply by reading your mad ravings about arms in jackets, and what you think it means, tells me you are mad. Mad as in fucking mental.

    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.

    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...
