    Move out to Oxford/Rangiora the vetter out here is great, although unfortunately not a young man so probably won't be doing it next time I need to re-new in 10 years.

    Starting to wonder how crazy it's going to be in a couple of years time when I have to update mine.
    There are only three types of people in this world. Those that can count, and those that can't!

    Our guy is mid 70s. Initially took on the job part time to help out.......now 10 years later.....
    Found him to be very good/professional, no bullshit like others are experiencing.
    No querky left field questions like I am hearing elsewhere.
    Just goes to show up the issue of non standardisation region to region.

    Have 2 shooting mates who are retired AOs (should I admit to know in them ha ha). Both in their 70s when they retired.

    stug, your guy may have a bit of mileage left in him yet.

    Is that the guy for Counties Manukau? He was great, even hung around while I was looking for another bolt to put in the floor.

    My AO / vetter is also an older gent. Kinda reminds me of an older Hunter S. Thompson. Very easy to get on with, showed me some pictures of some engineer who'd created an 80 round 10/22 magazine the last time I saw him.

    I had an older ex fire fighter vet me first time round. He was really good and helpful. From handing in the form to getting the plastic was 2-3 weeks.
