Whatever the circumstances of the American's capture, I can only hope and pray he can survive. We lost another Australian soldier killed yesterday in Afghanistan; for a small population country such as ours, this is a loss we can ill afford. Also, you may have heard about the Indonesian hotel bombin...

I'm sorry, but it's just not Cricket!

I have one in 22 Hornet, it is a grey stainless/laminated model. At first I didn't think it would shoot well, but after some experimenting with different handloads, I discovered it can shoot far more accururately than I can. My wife loves to shoot it at the range.

HORACE

Welcome! all these guys even like people from Oz

!
I can't post a lot, but let me tell you - they have solved a few of my dilemmas

HORACE

I also don't have the eyes I used to take for granted. I now have to go to optics, even though I really love peep sights like Williams etc. Recently, I purchased a cheap halographic sight off the dreaded Ebay (from Hong Kong -I think it cost about $35 Oz) to put on my 94 SS 44Mag. Let me tell you it...

HORACE

Thanks for your unput everybody.

I'll carefully do some experimenting and single load until I'm confident.

HORACE

Sorry havn't posted for a while, unfortunately other things have intervened. However, I recently purchased a 1894 SS in 44M, and I'm having heaps of fun with this rifle! :D When I go to the range now, I experience feelings of guilt because I am seem to be neglecting my 45/70 1895 and my Win 94 30/30...

Unfortunately, the toll will now exceed well over 200 as more areas are 'liberated'. If there is any good news in all this it is that Police are very close to an arrest. I also understand that the Victorian Police Commissioner has directed that wherever a deceased victim is discovered, the area is t...

I just received a boxed set of The Rifleman series for Christmas and watched this episode the other day.
Unlike some old TV shows,The Rifleman has really stood the test of time well.
Mind you, I still don't know how many shots he fires in the opening credits

HORACE

I'm almost embarrassed to be an Australian.

This is one dud movie; the history is all ar#e about and the social issues are dealt with in a most simplistic manner.

I never thought I would ever agree with anything Germaine Greer said ..until now.

Our film industry is capable of better.

About 30 Celcius, sunny with a light breeze here in Sydney Oz, but could have some rain tomorrow

HORACE

A lovely courageous man; we need more like him.

His unselfish actions remind me on another man I've read about called 'Simpson' in a distant but just as deadly war.

Guys, I have one for the 45/70 and although its a 'no frills' production, it does have a lot of data not easily found elsewhere. I myself now want another one for my new 44 Magnum, but I forget where in the US I got it. Does anyone have a link to a retailer online who will post to Oz, as Cabelas etc...

Ysabel Kid - that's a really cute kitten

. My wife and I both love cats (big and small) and we have one which doesn't go out at night, as we don't like the idea of it hunting wildlife.

J.Miller, I would love details of your 'kitty tents'

HORACE

Great bumper sticker! And an excellent description -'..crushing gravel'
To actually call this stuff 'music' is a gross abuse of the English language

HORACE

Was thinking about getting a 30/30 and did a Google search and came up with you guys about 12 months ago.

Big mistake! Now not only do I have a terminal leveritis condition, I also have 3 lever rifles to feed and look after

HORACE

In Oz we have to apply for a "Permit to Acquire" a firearm. Takes about 6 weeks to get back from the central Firearms Registry :x . You are then free to go to your dealer and purchase your firearm of the type specified in the permit (which must coincide with the category of firearms you ar...

It's Mother's Day here in OZ tomorrow, your post is well timed.

HORACE

Dixieboy, As an Australian (and a bit of a history buff) I've learned a fair bit about Civil War stuff from these posts, especially yours. I also was under the impression that the war started less from the question of slavery, than from the question of States rights. In this country, although fortun...

A prayer sent to the Virgin Mary to intercede on everyone's behalf.

Sorry for my ignorance, but what the hell is a 'morel' - I'm from Australia and I've never heard of this. I'd like to understand though.

I'll have my priest include your sister at the next Mass

Very moving, I'm proud to be close allies with you guys.
We just celebrated Anzac Day (Gallipoli landings WWI etc) so I can relate.

It does indeed seem to be a hoax.

Pity, it's the sort of story which you deperately want to be true.

A friend of mine sent me this email this morning, I just had to share it with you guys! I think its priceless :lol: "For those that don't know him, Major General Peter Cosgrove is an 'Australian treasure!' General Cosgrove was interviewed on the radio recently. You'll love his reply to the lady...

HORACE

I'd certainly appreciate more data - particularly cast loadings often discussed on this site.
Of course Hobie makes a lot of sense about the safety aspects.
Such a facility would definately get my full support!

HORACE

Most of you guys really do have terminal addictions to firearms

I'm still working on my addiction, but so far I reload for:
.243
.22 Hornet
.30 WCF
.45/70
.44 Magnum
I sure have a lot of catching up to do!

The 15 year old obviously made a spineless remark

As a 'newbie' myself I also agree to leave well enough alone. Besides, I'm learning a lot about US politics in this Presidential election year

Hang on, How come you Yanks somehow got all our Martini Cadet rifle actions from OZ? :roll: Good ones are as rare as rocking horse poo here now. :lol: I recall shooting foxes and hares spotlighting on my uncle's farm with an original 310 when I was a kid- may not have been a 'state of the art ballis...

I don't think there's any shame in scoping your lever, especially if you're over 50 like I am. I tried the Williams peep sights on both my levers (Marlin 95 45/70 and W94 30/30) and although these sights worked well in my younger years- they just don't cut it now. I've now scoped both rifles (Burris...

HORACE

OK Charles! You certainly do a good 'sell' on your home state. Just about convinced me where my next overseas holiday should be

By the way, did you ever consider applying for a position with the Texas Tourism Commission?

HORACE

That's a bloody nice rifle! But forgive my ignorance- who actually made this. I thought Winchester was out of business (I bought one of the last new 94's available in Oz last year)
I want one of these 92'a- and I want it now!

HORACE

Thanks Tedh & leverdude, following your advice I've finally got it off with no ill effects (mind you, I wasn't quite ready for the spring to exit out of the mag tube at about 5000fps

Mates, thanks and I hope I can call on you when I start putting this back together again.

This senator's prolix reply is a circumloquitous way of saying sweet FA.

Thanks Gary R, Have done what you suggested, and removed both screws holding the 'nose cap' on - and also the screw holding the magazine tube.

Hi Chuck, these cases were packed in a sealed Winchester poly bag with logo etc - there is a barcode which I think identifies batch number etc. the bag was definitely sealed when I purchased it, because I recall using scissors to open the bag.
