Any chance of an OGC get together this break??? Shooting or social only, I don't mind.

Well I fly down to Nelson today and am back on the 3rd, so I'm free in early Jan.

Nice little toy. Would have loved to have one of those mags for my 10/22, woulda been a lot of fun.

Just spent a week up north, no Possums this time due to weather and my parents already having a full freezer but got tasked with sorting out a family of Magpies that has moved in. Had only brought the .22 with me which was a bit of a pity, but managed to get 3 of the 7 anyway, which will hopefully slow them down a bit.

A suppressed .22 on maggies is just the job. Get a magpie distress tape and play it via speakers with a goodly amount of speaker cable to add distance from the shooter to the speaker.
Loads of fun to be had!

Ah yeah? Do they actually come in to try find the noise or does it just keep them in the trees nearby?

I've been meaning to pick up one of those cheap Gun City pump-action 12 gauges, that'd probably sort them out as well...

But there'd be nothing left to BBQ...

That's ok, like I said there's plenty of possum in the freezer!

Yes, they will come in to investigate, not just stay in the trees. You do need good camo to hide everything, as they are smart buggers.

how to look after your glock .45

I'm having a bit of a nasty discussion with the local cops about firearms security.

Seems they don't like my E cat safe being installed in my workshop which is away from my house. It has to be installed in my "premises" to the act which they have taken to mean my home.

My workshop is a concrete and oamaru stone industural building with bars on the window and a heavy steel sliding door. It used to be a engineering machine shop. The safe is also in a locked concrete boiler room with a explosion proof steel door. The safe has its own internal battery alarm, and the building has a seperate monitored alarm. There are 3 flats above the workshop and two businnesses in front, so there are people around all the time. The businnsees have a security guard that comes around a couple of times a night also.

My house is a rented light timber construction building with no security and nobody around during the day.

Is there anybody at the firearms office sensible I can talk to?
