    Pretty sure I remember in 1965, Harmony House, top of Queen St in Akl were selling "sporterized" 303's for 25 quid (pounds, for those unborn back then). My father picked up my Cooey single-shot .22 for a .fiver, for me. I was a farmhand then after bailing from school, so obviously I needed a gun. The values and principles of those times, sadly, are long gone
