Thats badass!

I love the enfield action. I used to have a #4 in .303.

Is that one .303 or .308?

Nice. I really like it. This is the sort of things I do with rifles. Thats reason for the curiosity of his choice of materials.

I am going to be building one of those tube guns like the Tikka on that website. Mine will be on a MAK tube gun kit with 5 round AI feed system and built with a rem 700 action and McGowen Rem-age barrel. Project gonna cost me prolly around $1500 US before optics.

I agree. Liberal bassturds.

So they didnt ban you guys altogether from owning guns, just severely restricted the types of weapons you can have and tax the crap out of you when you buy a new one???

We've fought back a long way from the dark days , the warrantless searches have stopped , but yeah the taxes , fee's, licence fee's, safes, security monitoring , security rental for storage ..

clubs have $50K-$60,000 insurance bills per annum , the only range accidents on record here are two idiot cops .. but thats the costs.. and as many ranges are on "public land" they get voted to be rezoned for housing or industrial with glee by many ..

when we started to buy our own land and set up then the anti started to protest us and BS about threats , but none got shot , a few OD'd one day but thats the idjit protesters buying bad dope

here we call it the rent a crowd very popular with the socialists
but they always seem to get the media onside ..

so we got the military to take over many ranges , bitch against the military here and folks wont listen to you no more , so we fight back and each year licence holders and gun sales grow

more clubs , more ranges , and now we have our own political party and 2 seats in the NSW state government

http://www.shootersandfishers.org.au/

socialists have 1 ...

and we have folks running for every state election as they come now ..

just a lot of effort but its paying off finally

very good. Im glad its lookin up. Keep folks rallied is hard work, and your a master at it.

Doubt is contagious, so is fear. Those 2 things alone if let go rampant are enough for the libs to get their way very quickly. And as you have posted above, once things are done they are very difficult to reverse.
