Sorry to hear Muffet, but good on you for doing what you could. This was just one young bloke, there are far too many more so don't give up on mentoring when the opportunity presents itself. You...

I've done some work with PTSD, not vets but children/teenagers with trauma. My wife has had two bouts of PTSD from her work wearing a blue uniform (actually she doesn't wear the uniform, preferring...
Definitely not an outlier. I've been in Melbourne for the last 8 years or so, a Queenslander before that. Every year I drive up to the South Burnett to visit the family, and stop in at Kingaroy...
This is why I travel close to 1600km once a year to buy from a dealer I respect. Been dealing with him for well over 20 years, always been looked after. I've never had to haggle or question a price...
Sure it is worth offering $75 and putting it away - one day a sportered early SMLE may come up at the right price and and a complete set of wood would have to be worth that (in Australia a set of...
I shoot my 1888 Gewehr a bit with HRBC lead projectiles and picked up a K98 as well recently but haven't used it yet. I don't know if they are able to use lead in competition, or if you are...
Better that it is a Kiwi anyway, sometimes our Customs get excited and delay imports - anything from Trade Me would probably have to come here first. That said, I'm happy to help out if anything is...
Alan at Kingaroy Firearms should be able to help you out with a scope mount. Probably needs a trip up there to sort through everything on a quiet day though.
I've had good success with the Speer 87gr projectiles. Dies are still available through Simplex, Western Firearms in Sydney also stock them. Forming isn't too difficult from 303 brass, just step...
Thanks John, have replied to your email. Was away at a course for the last fortnight and hadn't had time to get back to you.
Metric would be best if you don't mind. While I can think just fine in inches, feet, and miles, I find fractions of an inch a bit challenging!
Thanks for the kind offer John. Between two international postal services, and customs, I wouldn't be confident that it could make it back to you either. When you have some spare time, I would...
Hi all
I have a tidy 1886 Kropatschek that is lacking an extractor. It seems like they are as rare as hens teeth :(
Anyway, I have seen a couple of pictures of them online, and people have...
Our laws are an exercise in what happens when the people who make decisions lack any understanding. For the average shooter:
Semi-autos are out (because a Ruger 10/22 is somehow more dangerous...
I don't have access to the equipment or person with skills to make a die up to do this, but if someone is thinking of doing a group run in Australia, I'd be keen to get one.
T-88 is what you want if you are after adhesives used in aircraft. Should be plenty available in Canada if we can get it downunder too.....
Note that the Greener 310 usually used a .320 diameter heeled projectile, while military models (the actual "Cadet") usually used .316. Some of the 32-20 chambered Cadets that I have seen were...
Sounds like an improved Gahendra - much more rare, barrels are also generally solid rather than damascus style.
With mine, I found that a longer than standard cleaning rod had been jammed in, bending the stop plate and blocking the lever from moving. After stripping and restoring, the problem was there and...
