    Notorious/strange looking movie guns

    How about a Remington 700, disguised as an Accuracy International, with the barrel coming out of the back of the receiver?

    Notorious/strange looking movie guns

    A few years ago my friend and I took one of these into a car wash to get the packing grease off and out of it. Back when we could still degrease stuff at a public car wash. It was partially disassembled but at least one other customer recognised it for what it was. When they were withdrawn...

    Tank Trap - seeking plans/advice

    I might try the trimming method first, until my son in law, who is a metal fabricator, makes me a knuckle. Thanks for your advice.

    Tank Trap - seeking plans/advice

    If you use six foot lengths and they are bolted in the middle of each length, how high is the middle where they all cross and and how high are the tops of the legs? I want to make one for our club, but don't want it too tall at the tops for the short arses. (I suppose I could just get three...

    Whitworth .451 for Sale in New Zealand

    Pedant mode on: the Forest Rangers were most associated with the Calisher and Terry carbines, an early breach loader, rather than the shotguns. Pedant mode off. Belich's book gives a good overview of the Maori Wars, but is a bit revisionist. Frontier. The battle for the North Island of New...

    What did you do in the reloading room today?

    I loaded up a pile of .32S&W Long for my Pardini, then found the second box of 400 bullets were semi-wadcutters, not full wadcutters. I then spent half the day looking for my .303 British dies. I found all sorts of stuff but not the dies.

    M40A1 Pictures

    A month or so late but they are not New Zealanders. They are British Royal Marines. The one behind the rifle is at least a Major General as he's wearing the Gereral Officer's badge on his beret rather than the usual RM badge. The Royal Marines stable belts and the shade of green of the beret...

    Parker Hale M82 Clone

    A few years ago (about 25), the NZ Police sold off a few sniper rifles that had belonged to the Special Tactics Group (STG). They were mainly Steyr SSG69 PII and at least one PI, with Kahles ZF69 6x scopes but there a couple of Parker Hale C3 rifles, also with the Kahles ZF69 scopes. I brought...

    Suppressors I'm no suppressor fanatic but WOW TBAC

    Fortunately suppressor ownership and use is one of the few things our Government didn't fuck up when they changed our gun laws a couple of years ago. We still buy them over the counter like a sling or scope and there are no restrictions on their use.

    PSA: I'm a complete tool

    Spray a whole heap of WD-40 down the bore. That will make it easier to get the snake out. Spray from both ends to get as much of the string as possible wet.

    9mm Bolt Action Rifle - Looking for people with experience with the manufacturer (Curtis Tactical)

    Different type of animal here. Cute, but purely a pest here. Civic duty to shoot every one you see or run over any seen on the road. Australian bushy tailed possum: Usually shot with a .22 and a spotlight, but for large areas, poison is the only really effective way to kill them. A Ruger...

    9mm Bolt Action Rifle - Looking for people with experience with the manufacturer (Curtis Tactical)

    Any idea on the price? 9mm would work well on possums and rabbits.

    Rifle Scopes Kahles ZF69 Turret Screw Size?

    Anyone know what the size is for the three little screws on the turrets of an old Kahles ZF69 6x42? Missing one and would like to replace it and get a couple of spares. I emailed Swarovski but never got a reply.

    Photos Picture request 40mm ammo

    Don't have a round from a grenade launcher handy, but I do have a 7.62x51mm. Will that do? I think I have a 40mm grenade case somwhere. I'll have a dig around in the garage.

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

    Yes, we still have fully automatic firearms but they must be stored with a vital part removed and cannot be fired with live ammo. If you have a 'Theatrical' endorsement to your licence, they can be fired with blanks for making TV and movie productions. Any magazine, other than a pistol...
