So far as I can tell from media reports, this "massive cache" of guns, amounts to 18, mostly shotties and some very fine collectables. Wished they'd just report the facts instead of making up stories.
Hang on, we're in NZ, aye.

Cops with guns? Reminds me of Wellington's quote. " I don't know what effect these men will have on the enemy, but by God they frighten me."

New Plymouth Pistol Club president Ron Price said that in the club's experience police were extremely careful with their firearms. The police regularly used the pistol club for practice and adhered to the club's strict protocols.
Ron, you are a brave man letting them use a club range.
The blue gang has burned many bridges around the greater Auckland area, ruining ranges, damaging property and getting a worse name for themselves.
Hence, they had to build their own range complex in an old warehouse in South Auckland.

Fitted with adequate ventilation and regularly tested for lead contamination to comply with OSH requirements of course?

Let's not even mention how such a facility could be possibly approved by the council...

Had a talk to robbie tiffen the other day. He's a bit snowed under with business at the moment so I won't be sending the rifle in for conversion until August.
Likes a good argument...
Damnit.
I bought a JR carbine in .45ACP the other day that I was hoping to send down to him to have some magic worked on it.
Just waiting on my E so I can shift that and the AR to it.

FFS, just put them in the green recycling bin.
Time to get something decent.

I'm sure they will just end up destroying them. I'd love one, though. Not for any particular reason other than they're a neat configuration.

Another example of non bias nz media.
Not everyone hates it. The same would be with any platform.
The article says it's underpowered. A replacement won't fix that as the replacement will also be 5.56.
It's not a bad platform the rifles are just getting old as anything does.
As for rumour Mill and speculation I have two guesses for the new platform.
Thales new steyr. No new training required for operating and the infrastructure is in place to run the new rifles such as magazines and tools.
It has a flat top and rails allowing for modern sights and any weaver configuration. Something that wasn't available when the current steyr was produced.
They also have removable grenade launchers. Current ones are dedicated.
The other guess is an AR15 platform. There are so many variations to choose.
LMT already makes the designated marksman rifle so they would be a contender for the contract.
They also have interchangeable gas impingement and piston ability so that would be a good balance between less weight and removing the theoretical impingement issues.
The biggest advantage with an ar platform would be potential extra availability of stanag magazines on the market :-D
Also for the pistol apparently the tender has already finished and they are going with the glock 17.

Anyone have an old SMLE butt lying around ?
I'm rebuilding a 1941 Lithgow no.1 mk 111 and I'm short an original butt
Cheers
No worries, Tardme came through !
