Thread: What little pesties did you bowl over today?

A couple of stinkies from last weekend. Again, the 7.62x39 with Highland 123gr soft points does the business. Both dropped on the spot.

Good stuff

The local country green keeper up north at the Bach had a real problem ... I just had to help him out.

Just shot a rabbit in the head - I skinned and gutted him and he is going in the freezer tomorrow, yum

Ahh, the power of photoshop .......
Nah, just kidding.

I imported them. Bit of a long drawn out process, but they are "ASC 7.62X39 AR-15 20-Round Stainless Steel Magazine" from Gunmagwarehouse.com SKU "ASC762-20BLK"
ASC 7.62X39 AR-15 20-Round Stainless Steel Magazine

Gunmagwarehouse wont export them, so I used the guys at Borderview International to export them for me. They are US$14.99 so I ordered 5 to keep the value below the US$100 so they can export them without having to apply for a full USA export permit. Still costs around US$50 for them to process an on line permit, plus freight. Budget US$100 for export, plus US$85 for the mags (shipped to Borderview) and you are talking NZ$265 landed at today's rated (NZ$53 per mag). I feel that is pretty reasonable for 20 round stainless mags.

Have been using two of the mags for hunting. I have NEVER yet had a failure to feed issue. 100% faultless feeding through two rifles. 100% recommended for a high capacity 7.62x39 magazine. The also do a 30 round but can't see the point since I am only using it for hunting.

My only criticism of them is that the curve in the mag results in the bottom corner of the mag digging into my gut while walking. Some might say that is not a fault of the mag and more to do with my healthy appreciation of good food, but I have found that the best solution to this is to run a rubber dust cover on the bottom of the mag. Takes the 'edge off'. You can see it in the photo of the deer. Unfortunately I lost it bashing through some shit just before shooting the goats so will be looking to put come velcro on the base plate of the mag and the bottom of the dust cover.

Awesome thanks for the information. Yes unfortunately the only ones that Brownells have are the 30 (28) round pro-mag ones. Too long for bush hunting.

cant be many pests left around your place Sean!!

This one almost made it to the front door. Its always interesting when you open the kennel door to see which way the mutt sprints to his possum. 90% of the time its the same direction, this time straight to the house, I,m thinking false alarm not cool at 3 am! But no, young possum buck in a no getaway spot. Sweet

That dog looks as though it could have taken care of it by itself.

He wishes he could climb trees. When they hit the ground he's in there.

Had a Lab like that he would latch onto there gut and just start chewing only stopping when he got to the other side some of those big buck possums would be taking chunks out of his head but he would not stop and you could not call him off either!
Was the original possum plucker before it became fashionable

This dog just crunches until they stop. Small pile of guts and sum fur the only thing left by morning. On another note just received this mount to attach my torch to rifle. should make the shooting part easier. And my daughters cool sweater!

Head shot hare out in the wet searching for greens.Will take the back straps and rear legs off tomorrow.
