    Tommy liked post by gundoc On thread : AOS shooting -TVOne sunday program
    Whilst I support the Police generally, there is no doubt (based on several court cases and other instances I have been involved with) that there is a 'we make the rules as we are the Police' attitude...

    Hey, I'm with you Tussock! In addition to my collection of classic firearms I also like classic cars. I sold my '81 Camaro recently and bought an '04 HSV GTO coupe, but I am happiest in my '91 GMC...

    I was shooting in upper half of the South Island in those days so they were fairly safe. The only moose I have seen were dead and hanging on a wall (the last one was in the Swazi shop in Levin).

    Carpe Diem liked post by gundoc On thread : ice axe and crampons reccomendation
    Taking your boots in to get proper fitting crampons is good advice. An ice axe can be bloody dangerous unless you have it in your hands and your rifle slung across your back. If you need an ice axe...

    These rings were sold under the Zero brand in the '80's & 90's. They are very weak and I have seen several instances where the clamp screws have been over-tightened, stripping the threads and having...

    Maca49 liked post by gundoc On thread : Welding to or porting 12gauge barrel
    Suppressors on shotguns, particularly 12 ga, are more trouble than they are worth. They add a lot of weight forward which inhibits your swing, and they are not very quiet, even with subsonic loads. ...

    You will love Otago. Plenty of local hunting, few people, good roads, close to other good hunting areas (South Westland, Stewart Island, Fiordland). Queenstown is nice but a bit 'touristy' and...

    A 7mm Rem Mag with a good suppressor will do everything you need, and you will not have the aggravation or expense of trying to source ammo or brass for the WSM's, SAUM's or other orphans. Everyone...

    When I was in business the lightest weight I would do for a hunting trigger was 2.5lbs (with a creep-free crisp break). The reason was that in winter conditions it is very difficult to feel the...

    You cannot go past a 3 litre HiLux diesel manual. I prefer the Surf, but the double cabs are as good only they cost more. Something in the late 1990's with no more than 220-230,000 K's will last...

    Over-tightened screws is a common problem. An easy way to get them loose (assuming they are not loctited) is to get a solid support under the part and find a neat fitting screwdriver. Give the top...
