Part 15 is the extractor. I agree it looks like it rols off but I would go careful.

Personallly I would concentrate on parts 23 first.

Parts 23 are pins. You will need to drift these out with a pin punch. They hold the firing pin in the bolt.

Just a quick Q to anyone who has gotten their licence recently... It says that you need to apply "at an arms officer" and at a police station. Are you just supposed to go to any station and they will arrange something or do you need to go to specific ones?

Goto the cop shop and ask for the Arms officer.

I donno where you're based to, they might direct you to a bigger station if it's a small one.

K... About the referees, what kind of thing do they need to answer? 'Cause I don't really know many people over 20 if they need to answer everything down to what my favourite colour is. And I take it a standard licence will cover .22 semi's and larger caliber bolt actions? Adds on trademe seem to have .322 semi's listed as Acategory's and pretty much any bolt action rifle normal?

Well I have been a referee for my mate when he applied for his licence.

They just ask things like is he a trustyworthy person, anger/violent person?

Just run of the mill stuff to get a picture of you.

A-cat will allow you to own rifles of any calibar. upto 7 shots in larger calibar semi autos, 15 shots (or is it 25?) for .22 semi autos

No pistol grips and folding stocks etc.

will also allow you to own semi shotguns (not sure if there's a shot limit to them) as well as all other types.

Dunno, but the flash from a Winchester 30-30 seemed to reach across a river to the valley wall on the far side. Mind you, I was behind and to the left of the muzzle so I'm willing to concede that part may have been the angle of view and part may have been an after-image from the red-hot arse of the projectile. Considering my eyes were accustomed to starlight at the time, anything brighter than Sirius would have left its mark on my retina...

Anyone know anything about a chinese firearms company by the name of Jianwei ? I've just bought another 22, as my winter project, and wondered if anyone had heard of them ?
