Australia Post lifted their prohibition on international shipping of firearms/parts in Feb 2007.

I'm going to try that recipe. The amount of hot chillies seems on the high side but my experience of hot is with the Thai Bird's Eyes. I gues I'll need to experiment -

Thats a pic of one I got off the net.Mine is like that only never fired but no box. I don't think you'll miss the box - :wink: . In my experience - limited to one M94 Commemorative shooter - they are exceptional guns. I think you'll be happy with it. http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b38/tango4c/AA...

I don't know of Natalie Forrest but it is definitely unusual to hear of a pro-gun media type. I think there is a fairly wide tendency in Oz to use 'shooting' when we actually mean 'hunting' - certainly where I am. A bloke who heads off 'pig shooting' is more often than not going hunting rather than ...

I ordered a Lahti L35 Pistol and went looking for some accessories. A company in Australia is selling a kit including holster, 2 mags, oiler, loading tool, rod and lanyard for a mere Au$198.00.... :shock: That seemed a little pricey so I looked further. Numrich are selling the same kit in Fair Condi...

I am really thinking hard about a jagterrier as I had a cross bred terrior when I was a kid and he was a very versitile friend and companion. What are looking to use the dog for? Protection, companion, general hunting, hunting specific game? Any certain size you'd prefer? If I was looking for an al...

Bruce Scott

That would be a Husqvarna M40 IIRC. Correct, and the photo in the OP is that of a Swedish Husqvarna M40, not a Finnish M35. Noah Yes, I grabbed that from the quoted article without bothering to find the real thing. The 'shipment' turns out to be nine L35 pistols. Photo of an L35 now added.

Truly amazing...

Is there any left adjustment remaining in the rear sight?

So far I have only used my .38-55 on paper with factory cartridges. It's really sweet to shoot - accurate with very low recoil. According to The Reload Bench: "Introduced by Ballard in 1884 for various single shot target rifles, the .38-55 was one of the first cartridges to appear in Winchester...

Here's a nice pre CBS/Rebounding Hammer 94 Winchester. May be somewhat pricey but they are top quality rifles and, unlike so many of the Commemoratives, have a more subdued finish. http://www.auctionarms.com/search/printitem.cfm?ItemNum=8509774 Most of these are destined to spend their life in a box...

That also works with an SMLE mag. I'm still trying to come up with a magazine mod that will allow ten rounds of 30-30 to be loaded (and stay in) but it's not proving easy.

As I understand it, six o'clock hold is a target shooting term use to describe the six o'clock position of the bull being used as the point of aim to get a strike in the centre of the bull. http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b38/tango4c/target_six_o_clock.jpg It is considered a more repeatable index ...

I think the most important consideration is its value to you.

There are a few and I have some examples. One is a BSA No.30 like this, which predates the very similar Parker Hale model - also available. http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b38/tango4c/BSA30.jpg The major difference with the PH is that the elevation knob is on the left. I also have a Parker Hale th...

I'm sure I've read somewhere that the idea came from cavalry gauntlets that came well up past the wrist.

Didn't a another version - cloth or celluloid - also come with those eye shades that old time clerks wore?

Bruce Scott

Express sights are regulated to a particular load. This entails filing each leaf to match the load at each range setting. Once done that's it, although it is possible to use other loads by changing the front sight.

Bruce Scott

The only markings it has on it are on the left side of the receiver and on top of the barrel it has Westley- Richards Co. London. On top of the receiver it has NZ stamped and on the back of the receiver it has 913. It also has a 3 sided Trangle Stamped above Westley Richards on the receiver. 32 win...

Bruce Scott

That's an interesting piece. That type of cocking indicator is unusual and it also looks like it is not built on the Francotte patent action which does not have the pivot pin going through top rear walls of the receiver. The lower pin (screw?) is also further back than a Francotte takedown pin. See ...

I copied the pic some time ago and IIRC it was originally from Nate Kiowa Jones. I believe it will go right on without alteration. XS sell this sight as the Winchester 94 Angle Eject model.

My .22 Sportco Martini has a very fine, full 360 degree, dark ring about halfway down the barrel.

Thank you all for your replies I like those BSA sights ,2ndovc.

Steve,

As game keeper says, the GPs were being made new until quite recently. I have one that I believe is 1960s vintage.

Bruce Scott

Greener GP guns were being made up until 1967 when the company was sold. Webley, who acquired the gun making side of the business, continued producing the GPs for some years after that. The gun pictured does not have the cocking indicator and safety usually seen on the EG (Egyptian police model). GP...

My .45-70 Siamese Mauser should arrive from over east this week and will then go off to have the stock built. I am thinking of having a recoil pad fitted from the outset. I like the look of these traditional English pads from S.W Silver but they are practically rock hard. http://i16.photobucket.com/...
