[jono035]

I'll be there for sure.

DM: Yeah, could also just leave the subs out of the car too, either or. We'll see how it goes.

bah, did an equipment check this arvo only to the the spare mag I bought the 597 (texmo's old rifle) had some wierd sort of corrosion on it.
The original mag was plastic, and I had the occasional feed issue that is well documented on these rifles, so I thought I'd 'upgrade' to the metal one. IIRC I still had some feed issues, just less frequently.
Of course after I found it in this state, it was practically rooted. I've pulled it apart and tried to clean it up as best as possible, but I suspect it is now worse than the original one!
Further research on the web shows this is not unique (!), and Remington have released a 3rd generation of magazine to resolve the 'issue' !!!! OMG!

Shoulda kept the shitty old Sterling, just talked to my mate today it still hasn't missed a beat and he's put about 300 rounds through it.

I'll be there.

Sold the M305 a few months ago, as I've had zero opportunities for shooting this year and needed the cash.

But I'll turn up and talk shit. I'm better at that than shooting anyhow.

They didnt publish the letter I added to my e-mail. The one where AW McLeod refused to give any information to a gun owner on the proposed changes to MSSA, because there was an ongoing court case. While at the same time actively advertising this "irelavant opinion" of the police departmnet, in national periodicals.

Politics aside, if you ever did consider upgrading to an E-Cat, now is the time. The fee is being waived until April next year and the only reason you need to supply is that your existing weapon was A-Cat but falls under the new E-Cat definition. This means you just need to fill in a form and install an E-Cat safe (about $800).

I'm sure that with the arsenal that'll be out there, someone with a spare firearm or two will let you bang off a few rounds.

It'll be cool to see you there.

You'd have to own one tho aye?

[Wolf]

You'd have to own one tho aye?

And have the money for the safe

Hmm, probably, although my mate is going through this process and he hasn't had to present it yet. I suppose you could always borrow one. Or just buy a cheapy and convert it to E-Cat. (e.g. put a flash hider on a $250 Norino .22, or buy a 20 round mag for your M305, your imagination is the limit)
Apparently that's how you import them as they don't want the total number of E-Cats in the country to go up, you buy an A-Cat rifle, then buy an aftermarket E-Cat stock, then surrender that weapon when you import a new one. It costs obviously, but it highlights the silliness of the rule.
