[Mr Merde]

Is this new premises a permanent business or a one off?


Wolf, how is the stock comming along?

Shit. Those M-14's are even cheaper!

Yeah, one of those gun-city pump-actions for $275 is pretty appealing.

$400 for a brand new blued 10/22 with synthetic stock is pretty damn cheap too...

Edit: They say 'suggest where we should permanently locate ourselves' in the e-mail, so I'm guessing the Auckland store is permanent, just the location is currently undecided...

Veni, vidi, vici

You're looking a bit red-eyed, there, boyo - looks like Terminator Meets Bambi.

Wolf, how is the stock comming along?

Looking very good. Regular application of oil at least daily. Still soaking in as yet. The colour's looking amazing.

Rabbit numbers in parts of Otago are the highest since the introduction of the rabbit haemorrhagic disease (RHD) virus in 1997.

Otago Regional Council's annual rabbit survey showed a large increase in the amount of land in Otago which exceeded the maximum limit for rabbit population density, the Otago Daily Times reported.

A combination of perfect breeding conditions and the lessening impact of RHD were behind the large increase in the rabbit population, the report said.

They say 'suggest where we should permanently locate ourselves'

They were in Greenlane some years ago, before closing the shop, so they should know Auckland.

Maybe they want people to tell them where would be good to avoid ending up somewhere that results in them closing down?

The pivotal words: "confidence in"

Tazers ain't it I'm afraid

9mm the best option? Confidence in that?

As this is what is being bandied about in the media as the preferred side arm.

You currently use FMJ rounds?

Looks like Gun City is opening up in Auckland. That's the advert for anyone who is interested.

62 Carr Rd, Mt Roskill is their temporary 'warehouse style' premises, apparently.

Holy smokes. I have a feeling if I don't get out of town this weekend my bank balance is going to suffer...

In light of this article http://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/ar...ectid=10660417

in the NZ Herald today I posted a question on another thread

http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/sh...tc-now-illegal

IS the use of Laser guns and speed cameras now illegal.

Thought I would have a rash of posts thrown at me. Didnt eventuate.

If yo read the article you will see he was convicted of presenting a firearm and ASSAULT. the latter for washing the police officers with the laser from the sight attached to the air pistol.

Hmmm, Judge's comment was:

"Judge Chris McGuire said the case highlighted two important legal principles - a homeowner's right to protect their property, and police's ability to investigate a suspected crime."

So the case law is now:
1) A homeowner has no right to protect their property.
2) The police have any ability to investigate a suspected crime.

Is that what we have to learn from this???

BTW, anyone interested in purchasing a Parker Hale Model 1200 sportster, mauser 98 action, detachable magazine, caliber .243, Tasco 4x scope, age unknown? Condition seems pretty reasonable for something which I think is 30+ years old (at a guess, these were sold mostly from 1950 - 1980) and it shoots around 1 MOA. Got some ammo to go with it too, decent quality stuff, maybe around 50 rounds or so.

PM me if interested.
