To be fair, mine is postwar (1955) so better machining and tolerances than war time production

I keep hearing this about enfields being hard on brass. Yet I'm up to 14 reloads on mine

No it's not refinished. The 55 in the serial number is the year of manufacture, 1955 (the last year I believe) Wood is beech. UF in serial number indicates it was made at royal ordinance factory Fazakerly. It will be a good shooter and worth about $1800 NZD, or about $1200 USD, At least in...

2 moa rifle or so says the manual. Reality is a good one can do 25mm group at 100m. Ammo is easy enough to find, so is reloading components. There are all sorts of different conditions of these, ranging from almost free to $2000 NZD for a no4 mk2 still in grease paper, (about $1600USD). If you...

If it is in good condition with matching serial numbers you can get more than that. I almost bought a 1946 manufacturer year. It was going for nz $800 10 years ago. The no4s go for more money

It's starting.

Yes, we get taxed on it

about 250,000. Population about 4 million. So far in a month. 300 odd handed in. 1600ish forms submitted to police of intent to hand in but retaining possession until compensation is finalized. Most of those are e category firearms which are already registered to the owner

Correct. But up for review in the next law change

Owning a magazine of greater than 10 rounds is an offense that will get you up to 5 years. The legislation is appallingly worded, as it is circular. Shooting organizations have started to generate a legal opinion so we have a greater understanding. Normally this takes a lawyer s few days...

Ammo restrictions can be made by order in council. This means that the prime minister can degree it illegal. No due process. We are expecting 338 lapua and above to be prohibited

Service rifle shooting is now dead. Only bolt action class remains. Farmers are now complaining because the only centre fire semi automatic exemption is for professional cullers. Farmers are forced to pay for professional pest controllers now

The legislation is so badly worded that some lever actions are now prohibited. More than 10 rounds is now illegal. Some of them are VERY expensive here

No. No sporting exemption exists in the new legislation (which was passed in 1 week. Government claims to have read 13000 submissions in 2 days. BS) B endorsement is pistol license. We have more law changes coming in a month

It used to be extra security and background checks. Nz police determine if you were or not. For example machine guns of ww2. Collectors endorsement can only be applied for after getting your standard license. So, having appropriate rifles of the theme you are collecting and being a member of...

Yes nz forums ARE being monitored by nz police and the media. Likely that nz intelligence services are also monitoring. Overseas websites have been blocked including ar15.com although this is slowly being opened back up.

Population is about 4 million. About 260,000 license holders. We have different endorsements on our license for different firearms. They all have different vetting processes and security requirements. Pistols, military style semi auto (just means it has 1 or more of: folding butt, bayonet lugs...

Correct. Ar15.com is blocked. 4chan is blocked. Customs is refusing ALL firearms parts. Liveleak is blocked. Owning the shooters manifesto or video can get you locked up.

Fellas, there very much is s resistance to this. Currently we can no longer buy or sell semi auto rifles that are capable of taking a mag of more than 5 rounds. That's most of them. In April they will be made illegal. We are being contacted to start the hand in process while compensation is...

Interesting. 6.5x55 has been doing it for a long time.
