Thread: Where Do Crooks Get Their Gats?

I listen to ZB alot, talk back...better than half of the radio stations out there lol, anyhow a week ago when the topic was based around firearm regs and those regs being scrutinized as we know they are. One particular guy phoned in and declared he was a dealer...albeit on a small scale but a dealer none the less. He claimed knowledge of firearms coming in via the Ports in containers, he was also an ex Mountain Safety Council firearm instructor whom ran courses for ne FAL applicants. He had input and knowledge of the process the aussie prick whom caused the ChCh event to happen.

His words were effectively the inspection of containers must be increased MASSIVELY!.

I know when I was approved to open & inspection containers when I was employed in the wire fencing industry that merely 2% of imported containers were inspected by MAF or whom ever at that time (2002). Not a lot has changed by the sound of things.

Depends on your import license, if you are part of the SES you can do 100% of the inspections yourself. MPI only get involved if you escalate something that tickles their fancy, shit we get red backs and they just ask for the dead insects to be placed in a sample jar and sent to them.

Who did you work for? I was with Hurricane Wire and then Steel and Tube for 15 years.

[QUOTE=Basenjiboy;1650321]Who did you work for? I was with Hurricane Wire and then

Gejuz, I started working for the Ullrich family in the 90's mate, Pel Industries in ChCh (electric fencing), then moved into deer/sheep netting etc so that was with Southwire Engineering in Hornby, which became led into Ruro Corp. I left there after 12yrs. FG Ullrich owned Pel & Southwire,

I was 1993 - 2008.
They all used to be owned by the Ullrich family, but got split up - which is why Hurricane, Tornado, and Cyclone brands.
Ullrich Family were also Ullrich Aluminum.

Ullrich aluminium wasn't the same family, that was another Ullrich. FG (Fred) produced barbed wire and other product for the army during WW2, at the end of the war he got sent a large cheque so he started Hurricane Wire, later on he sold it but soon regretted it and tried to buy Hurricane back- they wouldn't sell to him. So FG thought stuff it and built Southwire and took Hurricane & Cyclone head on.

Southwire is now Southfence in Hornby, I spent 10yrs in electric fencing with Pel Industries which was right next door to Southwire. FG's son Peter Ullrich was ceo of Pel, after 10yrs there I transferred to Southwire/Southfence for 4yrs before becoming redundant, reason for that was Southfence had been bought out by Eurocorp so I was no longer distribution manager and relegated back to factory work so I said see ya later. FG's other son John Ullrich was ceo of a wire firm in Fiji and in Melbourne, both Peter & John hated each other and weren't communicating. John has 2 sons Mark & someone, both are twins. FG died years ago now, Pel got bought out by Tru Test in Auck whom bought out Cyclone, the Ullrich family never owned Cyclone, that move put Southfence into direct opposition with Cyclone therefore Southfence & Tru Test fell out. This slowly led to Southfence selling everything to Eurocorp whom owns the largest amount of deer/sheep netting machinery and other wire product machinery in the Southern hemisphere. Great firms to work for they were...best job I had for 14yrs, I was well looked after!.

We need the death sentence for drug trafficking and because I’m the one complying with the new firearm laws, extend it to illegal firearm imports.
We are soft cocks, so many lives and families ruined

That XRay truck is driven with a geared electric motor, so it creeps along. Their a system to go between the diesel motor and electric. Well a few years ago, some didn’t disengage the electric and drove off with it connected back through the gearbox, it was doing many thousand of revs it didn’t like. I got the motor to rewind and re bearing. It’s a nice bit of German engineering. To replace the front bearing, I had to remove the pinion gear. It hydraulics off at 50,000 psi. We set it up in the lathe to control it and, using a special hand pump, it broke at 44,000. To put it back, we froze the rotor and gently heated the pinion. It dropped on nicely. What a mission.

And in the 70s I worked a draughtsman for Desmond Barry Black at Eclipse Wire in Palmerston North, also manufactured in Hastings and Hamilton. Much of the machinery was German that came to NZ after the war. Interesting to watch in operation.

What ARE you talking about??????????
