    Sorry about the delay, only a year

    Its been one of those hour here, hour there jobs. Extremely slow progress(no hammering etc. while kids are sleeping) and when I do get down there Ive usaully got a 2.5 yr old apprentice.

    Anyway moving in day finally rolled around, I got it to a standard I was happy to put gear in there although still the odd little job needs doing. Still looking a bit bare but soon sort that out.

    The rack is the old mans he shot in Pureora in the early 60's.

    Woohoo man cave.
    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

    Did you end up making it e cat complaint?
    I didn't think you would be able to have a whole room compliant, but I spose it's just like one huge gun safe.

    Im not sure on the standard for E-cat but its not really an issue as it not really I road I want to go down anywhere in the near future. Im gunna get the AO round when I get my next rack up, I'd be suprised if they wouldnt class the whole room as pretty much a walk in safe because the door is a fucken beefcake, and the room itself is locked inside another room.
