So 1114 days after ordering, 891 after cancellation, Cleavers are now preparing to dispatch a crimp die for 6.5x55SE.

At least it's one of the calibres I still own 😂

What's everyone else's record?

What are we actually doing here?

I'm WA based, looking at doing a bit of a lap next year. I'm considering bringing along 1 or 2 firearms with a genuine view to conduct some hunting where possible, likely Vic, NSW, QLD and NT.

Has anyone has any experience with the legal requirements of doing this? Do you need to get established properties with letters sorted for states that don't have state forest hunting etc? Considering there may be months in between shoots, how do you store it / justify if there is a stop by the cops?

Keen to hear any thoughts from anyone who may have done this in the past. As I understand it, I've got the hardest state (WA) ticked off as I have legitimate properties to access here and they are permanently stored here, but the other states and border crossings I don't know!

Cheers

The few times they have answered and transferred me to licensing I just ring there till it auto hangs up and that’s if they even answer the main line to begin with

First cat B put in end of march. 150+ days not issued yet.

Submitted another end of August and it was issued in 7 days.

For all of you that have a similar situation and won't be over any of the proposed limits and can spare $30 for the gamble. Might be worth a shot.

My suspicion is that pre new safe check requirement & safe check appeared on PTAs, all PTAs were put in a queue. This is the 150+ backlog they are working through.

New PTAs might be somewhat automated if safe check case number is linked to your license.

Finally got my hands on a Swiss 1897 Kadet rifle. One of the rarer Swiss military rifles.

I know he will come through claiming credit for the find so thanks in advance Elroy!

She has some bumps and bruises but is mechanically perfect.

These were the best performers from previous ladder testing.
The 100m shots were taken from a seated position with bipod and rear bag, 236m shots were taken standing leaning over a bench with bipod and rear bag, but bench height made it pretty hard to get into a comfortable position.

130 grain seated at 2.810 COAL which is the maximum length I can achieve with this projectile. Which is .080 from the lands.

147 grain seated at 2.860 which is the maximum length I can fit into the magazine, still around .038 from the lands.

Rifle is a Howa 1500 in an MDT field stock, 24 inch barrel with a Zero Tech Trace 4.5-27 scope.

Hi all, my buddy and I are looking into buying an old Czech assembled (Brno), Israeli modified Mauser .308/7.62x51 that was listed on SSAA gun sales.

The seller has invited us to a meeting at a gun shop near him to inspect the rifle and discuss the purchase.

Neither of us have experience with purchasing second hand. How is buying second hand different from buying straight from a dealer? Are there any specific things to check/do?

We've heard that we should get an appraisal for the rifle, are there any unspoken rules about this kind of thing? Wouldn't want to come off as impolite to the seller.

Thanks for any help!

Does anyone know if anyone makes or sells 12 Gauge Bayonets mounts like this one?

Would there be any interest for a used gun site that mashes em all into one place, a marketplace for used firearms if you will, are people still buying used guns?

I love to browse and find myself trawling through multiple different sites hunting for cool stuff when I'm bored.

That process grew tiring pretty quick so I built a site that compiles the main 6 I use but before sharing it and possibly upsetting the greater community, I'd be keen to know if there's an intrest for it?

Thought to do something different. I've always used 168Gr until recently switching over to 175's.

Sig USA now has 124mm factory threaded barrel for P365 Fuse (pictured is made by TRUE but similar appearance). Any chance of getting them imported to Australia?

Looking at adding a second thermal but wanting laser range finder included. Minimum 384 detector, sub $3k. Any suggestions?

I was chasing a flashhider and came across gunbloke and ordered one. Then I researched the name and he has a bad reputation for lacklustre delivery of bought products. Some say stuff turns up promptly, others say it never arrived... Thinking I had done my money, low and behold within two weeks my flashhider arrived. Happy days.

New to me, Sako L61R, think its an early 74 model, but you wouldn't know by looking at, had plans to put a VX5 2-12 on it, but the iron sight look is growing on me, cant wait to give it a burl and see how it groups

Wondering how you found the process to get one in Victoria.

Apparently you’ve got to say why you want a crossbow instead of a compound bow. I dunno, I just think it would be different to hunt with one, maybe a bit easier to hit a rabbit on the farm?

So my firearms license is up for renewal next month in NSW. I have hunting as my genuine reason with the R-License. Without realising my R-License has expired. I have applied for renewal but looks like the 4 weeks will go over my license expiry. Does anyone know what my options are with this? I know I should’ve been more on top of it.

Woke up to this and it gave me a laugh. Have a good day everyone.
