The firearm thread

When he disposed of the wreck, did he get any embarrassing questions about how it came to be riddled with bullet holes?

Everyone who saw it had a rather strange look on their face because it appeared as if it had just come from a war zone. People were asking a lot of questions.

Yeah, I figured that might be the case. Mundanes get really weird when they see anything firearms-related.

That's bollocks, Indy, we all know that it was John Wayne acting alone that won WWII.

John Wayne's not dead - he's frozen! And when we find a cure for cancer, we're gonna thaw out the Duke and he's gonna be pretty pissed off. You know why? You ever taken a cold shower? Well, multiply that by 15 million times. That's how pissed off the Duke's gonna be.

This is the Duke, we're talking about - we'll thaw him out with a blow-torch and he'll come out fightin' the Good Fight...

Right, which leaves Alex, DM, JRandom from last shoot, Wolf and MDU from the absentees list?

And of course the final yay or nay from hosts

So, how're things looking for the 5th of Dec so far as Alex, DM, Jrandom, MDU and hosts are concerned?

Should be fine..... though will have to buy some more ammo!

[Drunken Monkey]

fine for me. know someone else with a Dragunov and Mauser Kar98k who might be as well if that's cool with the host.

i saw something about a militry show by the black powder group on that day

Campbell live just had a segment on young shooters. Parts of it (all the indoor shots) were shot at Central Shooters last night. Pretty quick turn around really although only getting to shoot twice was pretty irritating...

Was a pretty positive sounding article all-up but apparently there is a 'have your say' bit on the campbell live website. Everyone should go post a few times, don't let it get buried by the 'zomg guns are bad' brigade...

Edit: All the reloading stuff for the .44 magnum has shown up now, so far 160 cases cleaned, resized and deprimed... going to trim them up tomorrow then make up a test set of loads with my current powder and the Hornady 240gr projectiles that I bought... Talked to a couple of scrap metal dealers in auckland, $2.50/kg for lead by the 20kg clean ingot... Should result in about 4c per 240gr bullet...

I have to agree, it certainly wasn't a beat-up and the kids came across quite well too.

First 50 rounds for the .44 magnum reloaded. Made 5 lots of 10 running from the minimum of 7 grains up to the maximum of 10 grains... Should be fun!

Also had a quick test to make sure the bullets I have are larger than the cylinder throat, looks all good in that department.
