    Probably been sold outside of trademe would be my guess jacked the price up to avoid bidders and success fees $10000 seems excessive

    Thanks Barry, I just about keeled over laughing.
    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

    Snap it up mate. You could put it in that empty “things I’ve bought that made no sense” display case.

    If you have a garden and a library, you have all you need. Oh, and a dog, and a rifle
