The potential of enjoying some excellent companionship over there is a real draw card.

30 06 sounds like a come on.

It's another Schultz and Larsen, an old well carried one and shoots under a half moa. She's actually about 50 years old but twice the talent and experience of the younger "other" bints you see around the shelves today.

What about a Mannlicher now there's a fancy girl that loves to be out and about.

Always wanted a fine older Mannlicher in 30-06 or 7mm but could never afford one. However, I think now, the S&L are a better design. But beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and certainly so with rifles, shotguns, dogs, horses and women. CNC machining is now changing the game somewhat, but if one wants a really nice hand finished and tuned rifle, those two brand names still stand out amongst the famed.

Pre 1970's Winchester were another famous rifle and still sought after, a bit like the BSA Hunters in 7mm and 222.

The big calibre double rifles are something else altogether and I have never owned one, but certainly they earned reputations in tricky situations. Maca49 know a bit about those but I've not sought one out because I have no talent for hunting elephants or lions in NZ. (they're too dammed hard to find I believe.)

Going to be heading over to @mucko's place on friday to give him a hand to set up for saturday followed by some load development for the howitzer (muckos pet name for my 270) got about 50 rounds available for those who want to shoot it.

Great, my attendance now depends on my renewed FAL turning up by Thursday.
Old one expired last week and Police are taking sweet time in mailing out the new card.
There I was thinking that renewing 2 months prior would be enough time.

I think they will issue a temp one if you contact your local arms officer.

Hope it arrives in time for you @dogmatix it is about bloody time we had a catch up

I didn't know anyone was going to ask that question. ? Surely the fact you had your old one on you would suffice if its only just expired... ???
You probably don't need one seeing as you ll be under the direct control of 6 to 10 other licenced people.

You've got a licence @Happy! That's amazing! I'm impressed! But Yep been warned to get in early for renewal, can be embarrassing, especially with an E, B or C

You gotta have been around after 65 yrs or you ain't lived, and I aint got much time to get around very far any more

Only issue I could see with the expired FAL would be the transport of your firearms, in saying that you'd have to strike a complete bastard of a cop to get in trouble

Another interesting thing talking to the AO the other day was if you Kark he will be around to secure your collection, no matter what, said he found it distressful to have to phone at that time to arrange the collection. So get a suitable person with the appropriate licences noted in your WILL as the person the firearms will be entrusted to. Your nice little expensive rifle might become part of AOs collection if you fail to do this. Good excuse to have the lady in your life sit her FAL? You never know when your going to depart this world. No matter what your age IS. Now if you have anything really nice you can nominate ME just PM me. If you haven't got a will, here's your excuse,

That would be fine with an A-Cat but with an E-Cat or B-Cat etc those firearms are registered under a persons name so the coppers will have to hold onto them until they can be sorted.
Definitely something to consider in a will

I would nominate Macca49 as a good bugger receiver of such goodies
