    Bloody psycho gun owners...

    While people are asking for bits, anyone know where I can get a speed loader for a SKS?

    Illegal conversions

    Learnt how to convert an SLR to full auto with a matchstick when I was in the army. Haven't tried it myself thou.

    Was given a full auto conversion piece of metal for my Ruger 10/22 by a friend. Turned out to be pretty useless.

    Bloody hell. Puts a whole new context on the retort "You and whose army?".

    All this fire power, and we're still stuck with Helen. Buncha wimps.

    Yea but in battle conditions I'd take it over ....Styer, AR15, M16, G3, and even the mini 14 (all of these guns I have had stoppages while using them) no stoppages with the L1 (or the old SKS or AK just to short a round) I love the 308 - hide behind the tree? shoot through the tree!

    Guys I know who used these in the army used to push the selector around one more place, no match stick required (3 speed box) just don't get caught

    Got a mate with the book for the full auto on the 10/22, got it when he was in the states, saw a video of him using one, kept on jamming. not for me. already on my second 10/22 after running my other one down, grown up a bit now

    What do you need?? Price is reflected by availability and cost price.....
    Never let your enemy see your emotions, for it is the one weapon they will value most.

    I learnt the same. It works but it means as soon as you pull the trigger you loose off the whole mag. Bit of a waste.

    Brought some of my books back from the UK. Amongst them was one by Paladin Press with full instructions how to build a trigger unit for the 10/22. Doesnt take long or many tools. TUrns that particular carbine into select fire. 1200 rpm.

    Strictly for educational purposes of course.

    So, for the end of the world, what's the best commonly available gun to protect my family and stash of food/fuel in our suburban fortress? Sawn off shotgun for close-in fighting? Or a good trusty hunting rifle to pick off the starving raiders as they close in?

    Mate of mine served in the first Gulf War. Found the SA80 didnt have the reach in the distances they operated at.

    His unit (Pioneers) was reissued with the SLR/FN.

    Got half a dozen or so WW1 & WW2 British and German rifles, plus a pumpy shotty and a Winchester rifle.
    Hardly ever used them, but now our new place backs onto a forest its great just jumping the fence and blasting away at trees etc.
    Love the noise of big calibre rifles!

    Suburban fortress?.....A pump shotgun with a red-dot, loaded with 00's backed up with a machete.

    a .410 gauge is more appropriate for home defence. Less likely to penetrate walls when family is on the other side.

    I have a .410 side by side with external hammers. Nothings louder when shooting rifled slugs

    Yeah they jam too much, especially with cheap ammo.

    i call mine the David Baine special. An yes, I could shoot myself in the head with the silencer on it.
    Some things are worth dying for, living is one of them.
