    Around Tauranga I think you'd need to know someone with a farm, orchard or forestry block and who will let you have a bomb-up in a back gully or forestry skid. I lived there 30 years ago and even...

    Maybe, or maybe it's just the Police/Justice system are tough on people that try to hurt them. If you threaten, attack, injure or kill some indian guy running a dairy then it's not worth punishing.

    Seems likely that if the bolt was opening from the chamber pressure then it would have been a much more exciting event youd be talking about. This is theoretical - but it seems plausible that the...

    The 70s/80s versions were solid guns built by Nikko. There's not a lot to break on them so don't let that put you off, capable gun smiths will be able to whip up new firing pins if ever needed....
