    Australian gun laws

    The Victorian press and all other states run a campaign of lies and misinformation about the shooting sports in this Country ( Australia ), what pisses me off is the media have a bad habit of going to anti Gun groups and asking their advice and the crap that gets printed staggers me, The Prime...

    Western Australia Confiscates Bolt-Action Rifles

    The OP writes about the " scary look " bolt action ban, well that pales in comparison to this, Turkish made Adler lever action shotgun based on John Brownings 1887 design has a temporary ban on it because Gun control groups and the antis are shocked by its " Rapid fire, New technology design "...

    Western Australia Confiscates Bolt-Action Rifles

    The problem with that is in this Country there seems to be more people against us than with us, as far as the people changing something that does not suit their will, that's not right otherwise we would still own auto's.

    Western Australia Confiscates Bolt-Action Rifles

    Lets get something clear,this is not the fault of Aussies like me or any other firearm owner in this Country, this was started back in 1996 when a deranged person killed 35 people, all auto rifles were banned and a buyback was started, in Australia NO firearm can be confiscated unless it was...

    Handling anti's after this past Friday...

    Well said. In Australia we had massive changes to Gun laws after Martin Bryant killed 35 people in Tasmania in 1996.

    I've had the 7615 for a few years to shoot IPSC rifle so far its been ok until last Sundays match. Maybe 1 out of 10 spent shells fail to eject. The extractor would pull the shell out of the chamber and then let go of it so it would sit on the loaded rounds that are waiting to be chambered so in...

    Dropping the slide on a Chambered round

    At the Pistol range the other day a member was doing a test on his STI 2011. He was going to drop a round in the Chamber and let the slide slam down on it. We all had a discussion on weather that was the right thing to do. I said the round on a 1911-2011 must be stripped from the Mag, and the...
