The targets? No.

The people who end up getting shot? Sometimes, yes.

Explain the 'sometimes' - it sounds like you mean more than once....

I'm aware of 3 cases in recent history, the obvious being Naitoko. I'm afraid I don't know any more about the others apart from hearing them mentioned in a conversation on the subject that I wasn't really paying much attention to. One had something to do with a water buffalo (the main reason I remember it...).

I'm not looking to start a flamewar on the subject, I just thought it was a valid dig is all...

Naitoko is the only one I can recall in NZ - but could be wrong.

That was the only one that I remember from the news, the others were personal accounts from people who knew those involved. I make a habit of not watching the news for the most part...

Unfortunately I have found that 'personal accounts from people who knew those involved' have an alarming parallel to Hans Christian Anderson and his accounts..

Hence why I was loathe to mention them. If the people involved wish to provide more details they will, I'm pretty sure they'll read this at some point.

Well, today I finished stripping the varnish off my trusty 452 ZKM and made the first application of linseed oil. One thing you can say about Česká zbrojovka (over in Uherský Brod in the Česká republika) is that they don't skimp on the varnish - it took quite a bit of work to get it all off and I think I may need a month of intensive massage therapy and acupuncture to unknot my arm muscles.

Looks really good with the the oil so far - mixed up some boiled linseed oil and turpentine (2:1) which soaked in really well. Will give it a few applications of that over the next few days then will start rubbing in the neat linseed oil (then I really will need some serious massage and acupuncture).

It's come up a fair bit darker than when it was varnished.

Oh, and it smells divine. Love the smell of linseed oil.

Oh, Indy, you're just jealous that your house doesn't smell of freshly-applied linseed oil...

Now all I need is some of my favourite gun oil to wipe the action with - it smells divine, too.

If you ever need a sex therapist who's handy in a fire fight - or conversely a shooting buddy who knows more about sex than the self-styled experts on sexual matters that you normally hang out with - you can't go wrong with Dr Ruth - sex therapist and trained sniper.

Just a little hint mate.

Raw Linseed and turpentine about 50/50 to seal the wood. Takes about a week or two of rubbing it in.

Soak it in then when it goes tacky then rub it in

When you can get no more to soak in then let it dry for a day or twon then start rubbing in the boiled linseed. Just a few drops on your hand will rub in all over. Let it go tacky they rub it with a piece of old wool carpet or some linen.

Repaet for a couple of weeks.

This is how I did the Rolling Block.

Another thought. Try and get proper boiled linseed. The modern stuff you get in the diy shops has been chemically boiled. You dont get the sheen from that as much as you do from proper boiled linseed.
