So true Joe, about the size up close.

A couple of great books: B-17 Fortress B-29 Superfortress at war by Roger A Freeman and David A anderton.

B17 Flying Fortress Claims to fame, its out of print now but I found my copy on ebay. It's a fantastic book.

Awesome pics! Went to the Confederate Air Force museum in midland Texas on our family trip over there in '97. She looks great in the flesh with that polished aluminium. Sat in the cockpit of 'FIFI' too, at the time the worlds only flying B-29 superfortress.

Thanks for the all the kind words fellas :mrgreen: edsguns, I am not very good at judging weight but a mature sambar hind weighs around 150 odd kgs or 330 pounds and she was a average sized hind. Some mature stags can reach up to 275kgs or 606 pounds! Lawyer Daggit, they are a real bugger to hunt ai...

Aussie Chris

Thanks guys. Funny you should say that Tycer, this was the easiest carry out ever. The car was 330 meters away! It was way too easy. I staretd hunting at 11:00am and got her at 12:30pm.

Whereas my stag in 2007, well lets just say I shot him in the deepest darkest gully away from everywhere...

Aussie Chris

Gday everyone. Went away on a short hunt on the weekend with 3 mates. Went chasing the elusive sambar deer once again in Eastern Victoria. This was the second time I have hunted with the 444. It was a wet and cold weekend, the best type for hunting. I had success taking my second deer, a sambar hind...

I think they actuallly look good on the 1887...

catshooter,

Aussie Chris

Yeah I suppose we have a few nasties! I do worry about the wriggle sticks when hunting sambar during the warmer months. Ive only seen about half a dozen tiger snakes out sambar stalking. Seen a couple of red bellied blacks and taipans. I just watch where I put my feet and hope for the best :mrgreen:...

Aussie Chris

My neighbor had a cat craw up under the hood to get warm. When he started up the truck, the cat got caught in the belt. That was one of the coolest things I ever saw as a kid :) JB----------------- :arrow: You don't own any guns or any sharp objects do ya? :shock: Hmmm. I agree. I just don't get so...

Aussie Chris

Don't have any snakes Kim, but do have a few blue tongue lizards :mrgreen: http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/nn48/Chris351c/IMGP3490Medium.jpg http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/nn48/Chris351c/Image0050Medium.jpg http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/nn48/Chris351c/Image001.jpg Heres a quick video of ...

Nice post Kirk. Nice original 1873 too. You do have a good way with words.

Chris

Aussie Chris

Good work! Looks like a nice spot. I'm heading out for sambar again soon down here with my 444 for the first time, can't wait!

Aussie Chris

That was funny

Aussie Chris

Awesome! I can only drool over your historic Winchesters.
Single shot shotgun next to the door?

I have only seen one pre 64 Winchester 94 for sale here with my own eyes. There are not many for sale around these parts.
Thanks for sharing Kirk

Aussie Chris

Gday Ithardman. I was in the same boat, loved the rifle bought it and I shoot it. Read my post: http://www.levergunscommunity.org/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=13177&start=0 The legendary Frontiersmen is the best of all the comemmoratives IMHO. KCSO, maybe you just had a 'stuff' rifle from Winchester....

Aussie Chris

Ed, you must be a big bloke! You can now apparently buy revised floor pans for Mustangs which will lower the seat and seat rails for blokes your size....no excuse not to get one now

Aussie Chris

RSY here you go, Eric Banners XB coupe before he crashed it. In the movie 'Love the beast' a very good film! 1886, I do like the XB's. I grew up in dads green XB fairmont, 351 Cleveland and that great note. I wasnt around when dad owned his two Phase III's :shock: Dad had an Ultra White one which he...

I was wondering when someone would post about a horse :mrgreen: Or a guitar or a P51 Mustang hehe. Well I guess I wasnt too specific :mrgreen: Kimwcook, totaled it? Come on, whats the story....Well I guess you will just have to find that 'R' ('R'- ram air shaker) code CJ again and get a number for m...

Aussie Chris

I am a big fan of the Ford Mustang. What Mustang do you have? (there has to be a couple on this forum) I have been looking for the right 1970 Mach 1 for about the past 4-5 years and still havent found the 'right one' for me. I have booked in some leave to coincide with the Carlisle and Hershy swapme...

Aussie Chris

Fellas, just taking what we call 'the pi$$'. Hence:

I know Nate knows what he is talking about, that can clearly be seen by his posts and website.

No offence intended guys and sorry if anyone was offended.

Aussie Chris

I think you guys are just jealous

The deer look like they are smiling, just like the simpsons 'santas little helper'

Aussie Chris

They are great looking rifles the 94 'Antique'.

Some blokes round here should do a little research before giving their 'expert' opinion on 'antiques'

Welcome to the forum

I love my antique, one of the best looking 94's in my book..

Chris

Aussie Chris

I can't wait for this to come out, as alot of it was filmed about 15 minutes from where I live. Yep, in Melbourne Australia.

They used alot of our older areas such as Carlton in scenes and also our very own Flinders Street Train station.

Hopefully it will be as great as Band of Brothers..

Couldnt resist...just a random photo I stumbled upon. No its not me

Aussie Chris

Dude........

Aussie Chris

Wow! Thats cool. Yeah those guys are playing with fire unloading those shells...

Aussie Chris

dbateman, I think it may just be personal preference and what you feel comfortable with. I have a Lyman on my first rifle I bought when I was 18. It works quite well no dramas. I put a Williams on another 94 of mine and it works just as good. I think the finish of the Williams is a little better and...

Aussie Chris

Good day at the office

Aussie Chris

That is a cool story....bet you won't be selling that one in a hurry

Would Colt still do that these days you think? I would love to 'make my own' 1911a1

Aussie Chris

Haha!! That learn em real good!

Aussie Chris

Interesting topic. I am 'in the job' down here in Victoria. Am probably what some of you here may term as a bit 'wet behind the ears' with a bit to learn, but I'm getting there. As we all do. dbateman, dunno how they treat you up there in NT. Don't generalise Australia with your own bad experiences ...

Aussie Chris

Very true KirkD, unfortunately

Aussie Chris

Wowsers.......I can think of better things to spend my hard earned money on. Like cars and girls.....

Aussie Chris

For me, leverguns just feel more comfortable. This is the reason why I purchased my new 444 Marlin for sambar deer here. Its not that my T3 in 06 doesnt do the job, I just feel more comfortable with a lever in my hands...

That looks great Jack!

Well done

Aussie Chris

Aussie Chris

Awp101. That was gold!

Aussie Chris

Fired a couple of 'big guns', 458 Win mag, 50 BMG, 375 H&H, 416 rigby. I gotta say that my newest acquisition, my marlin 444 has probably the most recoil for me off the bench (full power loads). I may have a few loose fillings now ;) A mate of mine just bought a 375 H&H savage and that thing...

Aussie Chris

The Legendary Lawman is one of my favourite comemmoratives. Bought mine a copuple of years ago, still NIB. At least you shoot yours, mines a safe queen

Aussie Chris

Howdy fellas. Well I finally had a chance to load up some rounds and try her out at the range. It was a crappy day for it though, wind and rain! Kept everyone else away though so at least it was quiet. She shot great at 50meters and also at 100meters off the bench with the Williams peep. I wasn't su...

Aussie Chris

Wow!!! They don't make em like that anymore. Yep looks like a big bore 94 to me.

My new legendary frontiersmen has that exact look at that profile, its 38-55 too

Chris

Here in Victoria it is pretty much the same as Waz said up ther in Queensland. It is a pain to have more than 3 longarms of the same caliber though. I had this problem collecting my commemeoratives because as you guys know there are alot of chambered in 30-30. After my third one I had to give a genu...
