    So, bit of an update. Had the email for approval of the renewal on the 30th of april. Stated the license would be 6-8 weeks away and looks like they will use every bit of it as it is still not here

    Just putting it out there that some people seem to think that Black Powder is pretty scary stuff and might not be safe to use in modern or vintage guns Black Powder ( BP) is thought to have...

    I successfully reloaded Chassepot. Took a bit of faffing around but I got it to fire consistently though accuracy was not much to speak of. I replaced the rubber seal which is important. Most...

    No, retired to Central Otago. Only a bloody halfwit would go to Oz if he was interested in guns!

    Nope. In my honest opinion that rifle has shuffled off his mortal coil. It's snuffed it. The best thing you could do is send that obvious death trap to me to dispose of Don't want to see you get...

    Cordite liked post by 30.06king On thread : Brass on bolt face
    Nothing in your pics suggests any pressure issue to me. If all the brass looks similar the factory ammo loads should be perfectly safe. I'm guessing the transfer of brass residues to the bolt face...

    Cordite liked post by Dan88 On thread : Brass on bolt face
    I parkerized all the metal work on the rifle as the blueing was in terrible shape when I brought it, so it's all dull metal. Was wondering if that was why it's taking so much brass on

    Are you seriously suggesting a tiny smudge of brass filling the low spots on that bolt would affect the length of firing pin travel and therefore ignition ? An un measurable amount of loose brass

    With practice you can get very quick, a couple of "mad minutes" practice and he should be right
