    Congrats on giving up work, which I can recommend, but you will need more freezers. Regards Grandpamac.

    Greetings bumblefoot, I had a gas mask pack for years that I used as a hunting pack. It had all sorts of useful compartments and I got it from Neal's Army Store in Napier. They had all sorts of...

    That is a blast from the past. The first page lists a Parker Hale Standard .303 with a new barrel for fourteen pounds ten shillings ($29.00). This is what I bought in late 1967 at that price. It was...

    paremata liked post by grandpamac On thread : Some Lee Enfield History
    The Remington Lee Rifles predate both the Lee Enfield and the earlier Lee Metford. The first Lee rifles date from just before 1880. Most were in 45-70 or .43 Spanish. I have seen a cut away drawing...

    Greetings gadjetman, 1 litre almost exactly measures 100 x 100 x 100 or 1 cubic decimetre so your hole had a capacity of 18 litres. A 44 UK gallon drum holds a little over 200 litres. Clearly your...

    Greetings dannyb, Rather than lusting after powders you don't have and probably can't get why not just go with the AR2208 that you do have. Almost all military cartridges for the 30-06 were loaded...

    Greetings caberslash, I deliberately used the word "English" rather than "British" as you likely noticed. Even NZ's military first bolt action repeater was a Remington Lee in .43 Spanish. I believe...
