    BREN gun semi-auto build...vintage sniper? 1.5 MOA groups. VIDEO UP!

    I just had a look at a 7.62mm L4A3 Bren Gun on display in the Malaysia Police Museum in Kuala Lumpur this morning. I'll post a picture when I get home in a couple of days. A nice little museum with lots of interesting displays and lots of guns from flintlocks to M60 machine guns, armoured...

    Maggie’s Funny & awesome pics, vids and memes thread (work safe, no nudity)

    We made similar things with two bolts and a nut screwed together and filled with the red composition scraped off match heads. A strip of material as a tail helped them land end on to the concrete and increased reliability. Bolt bombs, as we called them, could be filled with a little bit of...

    LOL!! So, tactical lever gun is a thing now?

    My Marlin 1894 .357 with DPT suppressor. Since this photo was taken, I've put a XS Sights picatinny rail on it and an Aimpoint scope. Shoots great with full .357 loads, but I'm still trying to find an very quiet load that shoots really well.

    LOL!! So, tactical lever gun is a thing now?

    My friend's Rossi 92 in .357Mag. Not intended to be tactical, just silenced. Very quiet with .38 Special loads. Offset suppresser so the original sights can still be used.

    Pardini introduced a new semi-auto rifle...

    The first thing I thought was that the action looked very much like their target pistols. Then the first thing I read is that it's built around their SP pistol. I don't need another .22 semi-auto rifle, but I'd like to have a play with one of these. Pardini pistols are right up there at the...

    It took an act of Congress but my MP28 is finished

    Very cool. My father used the Lanchester sub-machinegun, an almost direct copy of the MP28 made by the British, when he was in the Royal New Zealand Navy.

    Military Rimfires

    Enfield No.9 .22LR. They were converted by Parker Hale in the 1950s and 60s for training and cadet use. No.4 rifles in .303 had the barrels sleeved to .22LR, a new rimfire bolt fitted and a new .22LR rear sight. The magazine body is empty and just catches the fired cases now. Ignition is...

    Tommy gun?

    I was lucky enough that when I was given my Thompson, a local gunshop, that is geared towards the collector's market, just happened to have the parts I needed to complete it. He said he thought he had some parts out back but thought they were for a M1928, however when he found them they were...

    Maggie’s Funny & awesome pics, vids and memes thread (work safe, no nudity)

    There was a story, and it may just be a story, of a RNZAF 5 Sqn P-3 pilot who was refused a promotion or pay raise some years ago. In revenge, he never shut down an engine to save fuel ever again. The cost of the 'extra' fuel burned over the years was many, many times what the extra pay the...

    AIRCRAFT PHOTOGRAPHY: anyone else want to participate?

    LC-130 Ski Hercules at Willy's Field, Ross Island, Antarctica about January 1996. Walking out to the aircraft for the nine hour flight to Christchurch after two weeks on the ship off-load team. A standard Herc could do the flight in eight hours, the extra drag of the skis added an extra hour.

    AIRCRAFT PHOTOGRAPHY: anyone else want to participate?

    Yakolev Yak-18T. It was the only one in New Zealand at the time I went for a few rides in it about ten ten years ago. A friend of a pilot friend of mine brought it and she taught him to fly it. I got used as ballast a few times. At the time no-one in NZ had a rating to fly one, so my friend...

    new project: MP44... FINISHED WITH VIDEO

    I shot a MP44 (modified to semi only) a few times about 35 years ago. The guy used to have to make all his brass by cutting down and reforming other cases. Fortunately pretty much anything with the .473 sized case head could be used. All kinds of head stamps on the cases he made. We had to...

    What Timney Rem700 Trigger is This?

    Any Timney trigger experts here that can ID this trigger on a NZ auction website? It's for a Rem700 and had a flat trigger, but can anyone ID the exact model and specifically the weight of pull range? The seller can't remember and has longs since lost the packaging etc. I'm considering...
