The firearm thread

Hope you explained that us old people dont have all our marbles.

Used them as muzzle-loader ammo possibly?

Sorry about the by line MDU

No worries at all - it's all part of growing up as far as I'm concerned. I'd rather he knew all the words and how to use 'em in context (which you have done of course), and know the effects they're going to have on others rather than say NO - BAD WORD - NEVER SAY IT AGAIN.

Let's face it - that's simply not going to happen huh? It's all good... and if Mum has a problem when he uses it appropriately... then I believe it's simply that - Mum's problem. Of course if he uses it out of context then he expect the reactions I warned him about.

Remember Uncle Rhemus? Nigger this and Nigger that? Great book and he read it with delight... knows the N word = Nigger and it's going to appear and when people use it in one way it's designed to be hurtfuil and offensive, another way is all buddy buddy between black people, and historically it has a third context.

Sorry - lecture over - you get the idea.

I really hope that all this praise is boosting the confidence of that lad of yours. He deserves it all. I nwas honestly impressed when he was explaining to Indy how a shotgun round was made and what each stage of the press did.

You have to start him on metalic cartridge loading. get him familiar with making his own rounds and how they shoot. We couild have a worthy member of the next generation of shooters.

Thanks - and yes. He's got the gift of good co-ordination from his Mum (who will outshoot me in a heartbeat) and I'm lining up a trip to the Taihape area to go goat shooting in the spring. Might see if I can borrow a single shot .223 or similar for him with that.

The 22-250's a bit loud for him and phsycially too big so the eye relief simply doesn't work. I found someone willing to swap that 3.5-10x50 scope for a 6-20x40 Grand Slam too. I'm taking a look at it on Monday. Not too happy about the reduced light gathering but it should be ok and from what I can see I'm trading up in value so that's a good start...

They fragment nicely and take out the other competitors' targets, too...

Yeah, ok, wow.

Did I just get trolled or is that guy for real?

Trolled I think - which I pointed out by changing a few words and throwing it back at him. If he has valid points (and Noel nearly always does)... they'll come out.

I don't have space for another rifle but I'm sure you can find a caring home for it with someone on here, would be a shame to just turn over if it has a bit of history behind it.

Just make sure you see their gun license or get one of the police permits!

my brother had a 22CAL M16 replica, pluged and hanging on his wall, stolen...

I'm sorry that you feel that way. Personally I think learning to respect and safely use firearms at a young age was a big thing for me. Taught me a lot of responsibility early on and I like to think that a lot of those lessons have stuck with me right through.

its was a different story when i was a young boy.
as we lived on the farm. went rabbit hunting nearly every day.
i went to bording school and was a member of the small ball rifle club in town.

my son has told me he has no interest in it.

Fair call then, I guess the no-interest part was never a problem. I've always had a genetically-instilled hatred of possums, so anything to kill them is a natural interest!

see http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/sh...p?p=1129300613. I found a reasonably well thought out and worded response to what I think is an extremely biased report.

I'm using Mr Merde's complaint and this one and the bases for a complaint personally and encourage others to do so too.
