    Yeah the grip really suits me.
    Slimmest 2011 on the market they claim.

    I can't find the original grips for that Para anywhere either mate. Thought they were in my range bag. Cleaned it out. Not there.

    Ha! That germ has gone away for the winter with work.

    Yeah I was going to get him to help me out. I need it.
    It was my first go and I am about as artistic as a rhino😆
    May improve over time.
    I will do another when I pick up a half second to match Koenig😆
    It may as well be a year in this game.

    My medical got booked for the 12th. Work booked it, not my call. I was still considering coming over tho until I realized we had our club AGM today. I finally got some approval to purchase some targets we need and somehow got lumped with the secretary role.
    I have no idea what is expected in that role so I will have to learn fast or dress slutty😆

    You slut!

    Good news on the target purchase. We will have a meeting in a couple of weeks, and I'll raise it regarding sharing costs.


    Oh and I got voted in, under protest, for the same.
    Just make out you have all the power and people will fall to their knees... (didn't work for me....)

    To be honest I just wanna shoot. Was happy to help out with work days and such but did not want anything to do with politics.
    Apparently I use the range more than anyone else so they thought I should contribute a bit more😆

    It is good news on targets but I have to move on them now. We have a way of getting them here cheap or free. I am just waiting on the method.

    Just a wee performance update on the Chaos.

    I have fired approx1400 rnds thru it now.

    Have had only 2 stoppages both due to reloaded ammo issues.

    No primer in one and some hard lube on one of my cast projectiles prevented chambering and in turn the slide returning to battery.

    Field stripping and cleaning this gun is a breeze with no tools required to strip or assemble.

    The coated barrel (assumption) allows me to shoot cast bullets with little to no fouling and a quick go with a bronze brush and patch has the barrel gleaming.

    I clean it roughly every 300 rnds but could probably get away with more before it would lead to a stoppage, due lack of cleaning.

    Have had the ejector and rear sight pins wiggle loose during firing but a quick stake with a center punch and some 222 fixed them.

    Have had one of my SPS mags put a minor mark/gouge on the internal slide as they were requiring a wee tap to seat and engage the mag catch when full.
    2 of them have settled and now hold the advertised 18 rnds and the other 2 need a bit more time.

    To say I am so far, wrapped with this gun is an understatement.

    With the lifetime warranty and the fact they are made here in NZ, anyone considering a semi custom, standard division gun, may benifit from having a look at one.

    1400 rounds might explain why you haven't been out and done your June slow shooting exercise

    Good report. Nice to see Kiwis can top it with the rest with build quality.

    Yeah have to say I am impressed with it even though it has not done much in way of round count.


    Once I get a jig in from the states I plan to tidy the trigger up a bit. Its not bad but it could be better.

    Weather has been to shitty here to shoot the rifle. I am hoping to get it done in the next week.
    I haven't forgotten 😆
