Yeah that was my fear, not stacking correctly. I suppose had that not been the limiting factor then somebody would have thought of it and done it a long time ago. Perhaps a 10ga would allow the larger size (seems to figure with something like a .45 increase in bore size, right?) but I have...

Simple idea, simple questions for a 12ga load. So before I troubleshoot in the shed, I want to troubleshoot the theory itself. I want to load either a 2 3/4 or 3 inch shell with a shot size larger than .38. I was thinking the easiest thing to do would be to find a .44 diameter mold and cast...

I was under the impression that poor countries, particularly those with a large centre of argiculture, tend to produce skilled hunters by default. My father grew up in a relatively poor rural scene and he remembers that even the youngest kids were crack shots. Anything less did not put food on...

I'd be looking into the CZ 527 carbine. That or a Zastava mini mauser (possibly sold under the remington brand as the 799 (?) in the U.S).

I wouldn't be surprised and probably not even care if .22 Mag dissapears. It's more expensive than .22LR, with less variety and only marginal increases in effective range. 22 Hornet is much more versatile.

So, I have been thinking about a ("wanting'') high velocity small bore for some time. I am drawn to something in .22 hornet, ideally in a CZ 527 lux, see below. Okay so I am drawn to .22 hornet because I want a small bore I can shuffle around my family if they ever come out hunting with...

That is a very large ouch. I hope the guy can recover the thumb. It's good to see him making the most out of a messy (!) situation and using his misfortune to educate others about how things can go wrong. It is a little horrifying to think a major manufacturer could include such a flaw in...

Suppressors are essentially impossible to own legally here in Aus, Krochus. Lowrider - good to see another aussie! Anyway, my vote would be the .22 hornet. If you are only shooting bunnies and foxes with it (even up to skippy), it's all the power you would need, and it's apparently quiter than...

Are we allowed have them? Yes. Are they in ready supply? I would not know, I have not inquired. The only 'in the flesh' AIA x39 I have seen is not a pure AIA build, instead being a custom rifle built around an AIA x39 action, owned by a lucky friend of mine. It shoots much better with...

You would be correct, bpl, except for the bit about CB's, we recently upgraded from CB's to the ever deadly .22 short :D. There are some small differences from the AIA designs to the original 'smellies' but the basic concept is there. They do have a website which is worth checking out, both for...

I'm glad somebody else is thinking outside the square. Buy an Aussie gun today and help build up the Australian firearm industry! After all, a strong ally is the only sort of ally to have, America. Sorry, I absolutely had to toot that particular horn. The 527 carbine sounds like a top...

I will give 10 points to whomever can find one of these in a real life gun store. 20 points will go to whomever can find somebody who actually owns one. You can then earn an additional 50 points for slapping that owner across the cheek his own mosquito cannon.

"Honey, the god damned kids are shooting at us again" I'm of the opinion that bore size by itself has nothing to do with the report. The power/powder behind the bullet and, if at close range, the barrel length , seem more important from a technical perspective. The powder is what makes the...

I'd own just about any $300 half decent repeater I could get my hands on if they let us in Aus. Although, I'd sooner own many other self loading designs before a Garand. If I was an American however, I could definately see the 'American' value in owning one, much like I see the same 'Australian'...

I'd suggest you drop the idea, it sounds like a waste of time, money and practicality. If you are still super keen, there is a company called SAM Inc that made purpose built .308/12ga combination semi's in the past. I'm not even sure if the company is still in business, as I suspect their...

Lucky devil. Wish I saw more K31's and GP11s in Australia. Nice find, Hatterasguy!

That's got to be the rifle of the SaxonPig dynasty, if ever there was one. You should do some detective work and uncover the whole story about that wonderful centurion of yours.

6.5x55 is a swedish round. That and the 6.5 Jap have different case sizes. I'm pretty sure Norma make 6.5 Jap anyway. Hornady might even as well. Hope you can find the time to get it shooting, CZguy, it would be a shame to shelve a piece of history like that.

Ah what a great thread. I love the look of full stocked sporting rifles. I suppose it is not my place posting when I don't actually own a full stock, but by gosh, this is just more inspiration to get one. There are some sharp looking rifles here. SaxonPig, did you have to play around with the CZ...

I'd have a mint condition Swiss K31 carbine.
