    Hello

    G’day team,
    Long time lurker first time caller. Just got my FAL and have a .270 on the way. Looking to put some meat on the table, have some adventures, and teach my daughter how to be more useful than most of the blokes she’ll meet.
    Appreciate all the knowledge that’s up on the forum already. What a great resource you’ve established.
    Trout, tetawa, Grey Kiwi and 3 others like this.

    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

    Gidday and welcome to the forum. Have you invested in a suppressor for the 270 ? Your ears & your daughters will thank you for it.

    Yeah mate, that was a non-negotiable. DPT Suppressor from memory (I get it later this week).
