    Hello from Rotorua

    Hello to all,

    Just like owning firearms it is a privilege to be here. For quite some time now I have read your threads and thought it was time to join.
    Over the years I have had several different occupations including firearms sales and repairs, farming, welding and a security technician. I have a love of fine walnut and blued rifles but must confess that I do own a couple of synthetic stocks for when the weather or terrain is nasty.
    Over forty years ago I was taught the basics of reloading and even today after countless thousands of rounds there is still new techniques to learn.
    While here I hope to learn more and pass on some of the things that have helped me.

    Welcome. I'm starting to appreciate wood stocks and blued steel myself.

    Welcome and enjoy.
    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

    Hi Mohawk660,

    If you have any questions regarding reloading you are more than welcome to ask me. Hopefully I will be able to help or at least point you in the right direction.

    Hi Sideshow,

    Fortunately I live out in the country and the smell of rotten eggs doesn't reach to where I live. It is quite noticeable when I drive into Rotorua however.

    Cheers,
    Tech
