    Hi all!

    Hi Guys,

    No idea why its taken me this long to find you! I have been active in Airgun forums in NZ for a few years but I have ignored my powder burners online!

    My collection:
    A large airgun collection from simple springers up to high end PCP's but I wont bore you with them
    A couple of scatter guns, Pointer A5 copy and a Churchill tactical pump for fun - Both 12ga
    Savage 99 cut down short in 308 with a lovely DPT over barrel suppressor and hand loads running 150 and 200gr subsonic
    Cz 452 Silhouette in .22

    Look forward to a bit of banter!

    Welcome Mintie
    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

    Hello Mintie.

    With a large Airgun collection and the use of the word "banter" I was wondering if you are from the UK?

    Hi Norsk,

    Nope, from Hawkes Bay and Auckland (home and work). The airgun thing kicked off by taking me back to where it all started for me and it just snow balled from there into a bit of an obsession and I then started adding powder burners to it.

    Thanks for the welcome all!

    i remember putting a few drops of either into the air chamber of my BSA meteor before firing a pellet. it ignites by compression and that pellet flies out with a nice muzzle flash. shame about the smell of burning leather from the piston though

    Hi there!

    New to shooting but keen to get stuck in.
    Currently I have a Webley and Scott .177 Air Pistol 'Junior Model' that was my dads and that's it!

    I've been eyeing up the T3x while I've been waiting for my licence to arrive but what's the point of having a nice shiny rifle if you don't know how to shoot or look after it, right? With that in mind I've turned my attention to the humble and affordable Mosin Nagant until I've got the basics sorted out and am a bit more knowledgeable about firearms. Good idea or not! So yeah if you know of someone selling a half decent Mosin let me know
