    Auckland Gunsmith, Who Ya Gona Call?!

    After recommendations for a gunsmith in the Auckland region to thread my R15. Trying to avoid the extra $40 odd for shipping to and from.

    I think Gary only takes jobs through retailers. You can try Alan Reid he's just down in Ellice Road, off Target Rd in Glenfield, which is actually where Gary was too, last I knew.

    Awesome cheers for that. Gave Alan a call, $60 sounds resonable. Would have sent it to DPT but too tight and lazy for the whole postage crap.

    No worries. I've had Alan do a few threadings and some fluting. He's very good and does some very interesting stuff in that workshop. Mind you, I am envious of any tool-maker/machinist with a nice mill and lathe... I have an idea for a new Reality TV show, to beat those poxy cooking and talent shows, called "Master Machinist" . On it, I have a dozen or so guys and gals and I give them each a lump of steel and some bar stock and I say "You have 3 hours to make a working submachine gun of your own design, your time starts.....NOW!!!"

    I am with you on that. Don't watch the cooking shows or the talent show and dislike reality TV in any form but your idea has some merit. Contestants might need more than three hours to produce a sub machine gun though
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    Though they should not be called reality shows as they are so far removed from reality it is ridiculous.
    There are only three types of people in this world. Those that can count, and those that can't!
