    I must take notes from all these SAUM builds as I've got a barrel from Camo Wsm for a future build. And for once I'm not lagging behind on the latest in thing!

    I've also got a MDT LSS chassis waiting for clearance from customs for my 7mm rem mag. ,magpul CTR and hogue pistol grip with side folding adapter to go with it eventually.Lol 2 projects on the go!
    I may be down slightly on brownie points for some time

    Nice. Did you buy the optics package separately or did it come already installed ? Been thinking about something for my Nagant for years....

    Flying back home tonight to my first 45/70 was pretty exciting. @Maca49 stepped up with a great offer to let me take this off his hands. Love to know a little more about the broad arrow stamp/NZ99? I love broad arrows with them my SLR, No4 and mortars. Thanks Maca, given me a much needed highlight

    I've got some info I think on the Martini Henry Actions I'll send it to you, never thought. It's a bit of nice history being put together by Din Collings and the stock by Earl Wyatt from Upper Hutt. @Tikka7mm08
    Boom, cough,cough,cough

    I believe I may have shot that rifle with Maca once. What ever you paid him for it was way to much as I couldn't hit a bloody barn at five paces with it. Ha ha ha ha.
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    No sign of home guard markings and a nice clean reciever. Is the number on the top by the broad arrow 90? Better show us a picture of the target
