    The owner of the farm over the hill is on this forum, not that he posts much.
    At a guess he could be talked into more events but a couple a year is a lot in the WSRA schedule.
    Doc watsons is a fantastic place for those wanting to work on there long range skill but he limits numbers so I think there is a waiting list.

    Steven, if you only can make a couple of Wsra shoots a year there are cheeper non voting membership options-and I doubt sponsorship is an issue

    "Doc watsons is a fantastic place for those wanting to work on there long range skill " if that is who I think it is the fee is also $500+? but a mate had it for a year and said its was pretty good and worth it if you could put in the time.

    That's the place, I found that it was cheaper than the time and fuel to drive to any other spots-even free ones- once or twice a week.

    Hey team, I'm thinking of building an AR up from parts, there's all sorts of wildly varying accounts all over the internet regarding what sort of gear I'll need to get it done, Torque wrenches, vise blocks, roll pin starters and punches, Gas tube aligners etc ... can someone tell me what I really need to build an AR comfortably and safely, and where might be a good place to get tools from in NZ?

    Barrel torque tool and

    Wrench

    These make torquing the barrel easy, the one place you don't want to go wrong. You can use a block of wood in the mag well when tightening up the buffer tube to the lower.

    Bound to be someone down south who will loan you their tools.

    Cheers guys - simpler than I thought! all the "essential tool lists" I found online were invariably just trying to sell me extra shit I wasn't sure if I needed. My dad's a fitter/turner/machinist here locally so maybe I can scavenge some punches and stuff from him
    @Beaker - I'm in the great city of Tekapo, but do head into Timaru pretty often, haven't got any parts together yet but that'd be awesome!
