The firearm thread

[Indiana_Jones]

I'd spit on the bastards but I refuse to degrade my spit by letting it touch them.

Oh, sick burn.

Has anyone else noticed there seems to be a lot of these types of articles and shows about lately.

Yip, Gubberment is gearing up for some arms law changes and injecting negative perceptions into ignorant minds by using the media. Don't know exactly what changes, but it will be more restrictive, and I don't think it'll end with the thumb-hole stock thing either, it's bigger than that. Brace yourself.

[Mr Merde]

Yep we are being set up again.

Something is comming and I dont think I want to be around when it does.

There comes a time when you have to give up butting your head against a brick wall and admit that your head hurts.

I'm tired and dissapointed. Takes a lot of energy to be continually enthusiastic and I've been fighting the antis now since 1987.

Anyone looking for a pistol?

Time to thin the collection maybe.

BTW

I've been singing the praises to some of my fellow shooters re the new organisation.

One of them loves the sound of it and will be joining. Steve is very vocal and if he thinks something is good he will say so.

He was in Sportsways in Mt Eden last weekend and mentioned the NSANZ.

They told him they wouldnt be supporting it as they thought it a waste of time.

I for one will not support a business that doesnt have our ( NZ shooters) interests at heart. They are happy to make money off of us but not support us in any other capacity.

I've spent a lot of money in that shop. No more. If they dont care about us why should we care about them.

FUCK EM

I bet you'd sell it to me without sighting a license...

So WHY do these tards on the TV think it's a good idea to RECLASSIFY a firearm and call it something it's not, just to make it required to have a firearms license to buy it? Surely air rifles over a certain fps rating or something should be restricted as air rifles with a certain fps rating, but calling a cat a cow? NZ police is fucked...

What sort of attitude is that to have?

It's their livelyhood.....

I'll be sure to take my business elsewhere.

You filming a TV program?

Shall I talk "redneck"?

Should I mention the comming of the revolution, blood in the streets, doom and gloom?

BTW there is 5 to choose from

2 Weihrauch .44 Mag single action revolvers
2 Uberti 58 Remmies, antiqued (means no blueing), .44 cap and ball
1 Margolin MUM .22 semi auto with barrel threaded for a genltemans accessory

Might even get rid of a few rifles.

Indy still want the M1 carbine?

I would love any one of those, but I've got a 600 in my bedroom I cant ride for a few more weeks until I go for my full test, so that fee (almost 200) along with all of the B cat costs and I'd have to put my grandma on the block...

M1 as in Garand?

Neat!
Why did I ask, I didn't quite read that through
Have they been released as hunting rifles, or are they all ex WW2 rifles? In which case I thought only the yanks used them?

[Mr Merde]

Going to talk to my friend Eric tomorrow.

Hes been around long enough in this game of ours. He may know someone looking for a few new toys.

Speaking of WW2 era weapons... I was told a while back that my grandpa while stationed in Japan in fourty something, was given (or found, can't remember) a genuine samurai sword that had been kept by the Japanese troops. He just gave it away... Aparantly the age of the katana was quite high, or the sword smith was very well regarded, because the person he sold it to (thinking it was just a glorified mantlepiece) sold it for close to ten K not long after...

I saw a 7.7mm Arisaka rifle action on trademe a couple mins ago. Are there any of these in good condition lying around? If I wanted to get any similar WW2 era rifle for hunting and targets (and general ogling), would I be likely to buy one for around the 500 mark or under? Excluding Enfields

If you're after WW2 era weapons and are just getting into it andwant something cheap, look into a Mosin-Nagant, 7.62x54R Russian service rifle designed in 1891 and used till 1950.

Can get them for $250-300 still in their cold war storage grease.
