Thanks guys.

peter richards

You are a good man Joe, you are the master at paying it forward. I am sure it will come back to you when your family needs it.

peter richards

Congrats old mate, happy birthday. Your posts & photos are always interesting.

peter richards

Congratulations mate, there's nothing else like it. I got my first boy a Winchester 9422 when he was a baby & cut down the stock off an old parts gun, but he grew big enough last month to put the original butt stock back on. He will use that rifle in the cowboy action national titles with me lat...

I picked up a Marlin 1888 in 32-20 from Sureshot on my last trip to your shores. I am heading down to pick up it & 15 other firearms from customs next week as I just got all the paperwork done. Fortunately my government is insisting on saving me from my self & ensuring that these over 100 ye...

Great news mate! Stay positive, remember, good things happen to good people.

peter richards

Great news mate! Without your health you have nothing, & chicks dig scars.

CRS
it looks like you are as good with a rod as you are with a 405 Winchester. I had never heard if a Bull Red before, is that where Red Bull comes from.

Just boarded our last plane in LA. We had a great time, thanks again to all you folks that made us feel so welcome. When I get home I will post some pictures. Our hunt in Hondo was a success , one of the guys got a Bison which he is getting full body mounted, I got a Blackbuck Antelope & a 4 hor...

Sorry I have not been able to update sooner, we have been on the go since we got here. We have had a great time & it has been great to meet a few of you. Sorry sixgun, we were too late getting in to see you, it was great talking to you. A big thanks to CRS for putting us up & organizing the ...

The wife and I plan to spend the weekend in Tulsa and hit the guns show once or twice (shhh...she thinks we're having a 'weekend' :D ....I also told her our African safari was a vacation :D ) Wouldn't mind shaking hands with other Levergunners there. Or even eating supper Sat night and having some ...

peter richards

Nice pics. If I did not know better, it looks like Pennsylvania. If you happen to get to Targetmaster, just ask one of the guys to give me a call and I'll get there in 10 minutes. Rent yourself the machine gun of your of choice and I'll see you there!----Jack 6, We'll call you Thursday afternoon, l...

We are in LA waiting for our flight to New York. Thank you to all the forum members who have been so generous making times to meet with us. It will be great to see you guys, while waiting for the flight I thought I would share some photos of my family from our Chital deer camp last Christmas.

That's incredible! I can drive 4 miles down the road and fill up the back of a pick up with all the ammo I want, or I can just take a walk down the basement and do the same thing. It's probably going to take two or more years before the ammo supply makes it's way out west. We easterners are too bus...

Peter, Let me know your plans for Dallas and I may be able to see your guys or even have you out to the farm for a game dinner. You know, the usual, venison, bison, quail and pheasants. If Joe can come too, we can eat some of his elk back straps I am keeping for him. :D Charles, Sounds great old ma...

peter richards

Pete. I called and had your M-16's, (223 and 9mm) M-2's, and supressed MP-9's set to the side with 30 cases of ammo....for your shooting pleasure. :D ----------6 Just let me know a day or two before and I'll see you boys there. Thanks mate, I can't wait to catch up with you, I have always wanted to...

peter richards

While I share your disgust in the mutilation of 2 fine leverguns, all I can say in their owners defence is this is what happens when they ban semi automatics. This guy was obviously suffering from M1 carbine withdrawals. Keep up the fight boys, don't follow our path. Over here firearms ownership is ...

peter richards

We are doing it again, this time next week I will be again heading to your fine shores to seek out & plunder your Levergun collections. A smaller group this time with 4 of us Aussie gun enthusiasts hoping to catch up with as many of you as we can. We start in New York on the first of April, at t...

peter richards

I Recently picked what would have to be the rarest levergun in my collection so far, one of only 20 made. The Naughton Fieldman, .22 lever action made in Warrandyte, Victoria, Australia in the 1960's. I bought it of one of the apprentices who helped make it, this one is a prototype made from their s...

Thinking of you mate.

peter richards

I recently had this problem with my .356 Big Bore, I had it built up with tig weld, then just kept filling it down as Pete said, just keep going until it stops scratching or denting the case. You will become very good at pulling it down & putting it back together, I must have had 12 or 15 goes a...

I run 5 Stihl saws on my farm, from a little baby one for mortising thru to a big 660 for falling, they a all reliable hardworking machines. I usually sell about 100 loads of firewood each winter to help fund my Levergun Collecting habit, so they get plenty of work.

peter richards

Joe,
Thinking of you my friend, be positive, you are a good man & good things will come your way.

peter richards

Merry Christmas from my family to yours. Thanks for your company thru 2013, look forward to meeting some more of you next April.

peter richards

Peter, great trip and itinerary for your group. The Tulsa Gun Show looks like my best opportunity of catching up with you folks. Perhaps I can get my Aussie (Melbourne) son-in-law to drive up from Austin, TX to translate for us. :wink: Looking forward to it. - John Goatguy It would be great to catc...

While you are in Waco, TX at the Texas Ranger Museum, you might as well go a few blocks over and see the Dr. Pepper museum. While there you can see how the oldest carbonated beverage still in production in America got its start. Piller I don't know if we will get time to get to Waco, but we will be...

I have put together a second trip to the USA - Gun Trip USA 2014, from the 1st to the 12th April, 2014. We will start in New York at the Intrepid Museum, then up the New Haven, Connecticut, to catch up with Winchester Historian, Author & Engraver Pauline Muerrle at the old Winchester Factory sit...

peter richards

Charles,
You'll have to head down under old mate & join us. We are at the start of a long hot summer, the only ice here is in our drinks.

peter richards

Hope all is well old mate, your friends here are thinking of you.

peter richards

You are a lucky man Joe, lucky that Brandon & Justin let you have a shot. Great report as always.

peter richards

I just use cable pulling lube, like electricians use. Looks the same as the Lee stuff, but heaps cheaper.

peter richards

Great to see old american fords down under, I am rebuilding a 1954 F100 at the moment, it's a lot of work, but looks like most of the hard work is already done on the 'stang.

peter richards

Thanks mate, I have had a great day, it is just finishing for me here down under while you are all just getting up. It is hard to believe that a year ago today I was having a steak & bourbon with my travelling companions at Buffalo Bills Irma Hotel in Cody Wyoming celebrating my 40th birthday &a...

You can't beat a Big Bore, the .356 Winchester is a very underrated round. I just got mine back on the road, it had a worn cartridge stop causing a under carrier jam, and it sat in pieces on my bench for the last 18 months. I will take it with me on our family Deer camp over Christmas and try it out...

peter richards

We toured the factory last year, they were nice folk that did some fine work.

peter richards

Nice work Joe, I've been following your 35 cal Henry concept, good to see it in action. I really like my '94 Big Bore in .356 & BLR in .358, I picked up a Marlin in 35 Remington over there last year but have not been able to try it out yet as I have not been able to get any brass here in Austral...

peter richards

86er, can you fill me in on the scene here, I am not used to professional hunting. Up here, if its deer season, you shoot a deer. Turkey season, and so on. Down where you are, is that a hunting preserve or something? Or is this a wild area that has all these different animals? If its a preserve, do...

peter richards

We finally got the last of our guns home from our trip to your shores last year. I was mostly looking forward to seeing my Winchester 1895's in 405 & 35 WCF again, & I received my raffle prize from the WACA Reno Show, a Model 70 in 30-06. It looks great but seems to have a problem, there is ...

peter richards

My 3 top Hunting Rigs, '02 F250, hope you like my number plates, PR-3030; 2011 Polaris X2 550, second one on the trailer; & my 12 y/o Quarter Horse named Winchester.

peter richards

Looks like you guys are ready to go Charles. Great to see you taking time with your grandson, make sure you leave a few animals me to hunt next April. I just got my 405 back a couple of weeks ago, I am going to try it out tomorrow on some local Axis Deer.

peter richards

I had the same problem with my .356 BB AE, I tried everywhere to get the correct mounts, but ended up getting it drilled & tapped for the latter model mounts. That fixed it.

peter richards

My Rusky.

peter richards

Great work Pop, nothing beats an old Winchester.

peter richards

Joe,
Happy birthday from your mates in Australia, today I finally picked up the 1876 in 45-75 & the 1895 in 405 that you held for my Bison hunt last year. I was just looking at our pics from Texas when I logged on here to see it is your birthday, so all the best mate.
Pete

peter richards

Joe will show you a good time in Hondo, he is a great guide & good company as well. I wish I could get there for this, we had such I good time in Hondo last year. It is just a bit far to go from Australia for the weekend. Can't wait to get back there next year, we are counting the days.

peter richards

He will be sorely missed.

peter richards

RR7, you should open a museum, thanks for sharing.
