I know what you are saying. At my son's cadets parade some cadet put the flag up upside down. The visiting officer was a Navy Admiral. Every one was stressed except him who thought it was funny and gave the young chap the chance to sort it out. Apparently an upside down flag means something to naval...

Well that is what some idiot did in the City of Manchester.

Quite funny really!

Ok!

grits from the word gryt or groat meaning a corn porridge.

Cat heads is what we call scones.

Served with whipped cream and jam and a cup of tea of course!

Jam is a coarse fruit jelly.

Do you have scotch eggs?

KiwiKev

All else fails try muzzleloading.

Seriously I reload in steps. Once you have them primed and expanded it goes quick.

Television, usually nothing but rubbish on anyway.

KiwiKev

Wow, quite amazing!

Great photographs.

I have seen that gal somewhere else on this forum!

Man goes to a wife swapping party.

"What did you swap your wife for?" Asks his buddy.

"A home theatre system and a new gun"

That's New Zealand folk for you!

KiwiKev

Have you got a recipe for grits and cat heads?

KiwiKev

While Rachel sure is pretty she is not going to be as attractive as a Winchester lever action at the age of 121 years.

Choice ONE a 120 year on Winchester.

Choice TWO a 120 year old women

Or choice THREE a 120 year old woman with a lever action.

I have seen a reflex sight on a lever action. I have seen a tang sight on a lever action. What about an adjustable red dot reflect sight which screws onto where the tang sight goes or is that a bit too strange?

I don't have one but that is a good idea also.

I got annoyed with static on my plastic powder funnel when using Trail Boss and Tite Group. Too cheap to buy a brass funnel I lined the inside of the funnel with tin foil. No more static powder goes down smooth.

A .50 cal Lever action!

Anyway you want it.
Mules leg, 24 inch octagonal.

You may not get too many of those .50 cal rounds down the tube.

But that will be fun at the range.

Seriously the original is a great film. Is it true that many of the boys were not actors as such but incredibly skilled horsemen?

There are lots of different varieties. I have heard of the rock Wallabies.

I am sure I heard Adam tell Eve. 'Don't touch it!'

Everyone wants to know where babies come from but no one wants to know where the supermarket meat comes from! The best programme on New Zealand television is "Hunting Aotearoa" Let's say it is true to life. Here is a YouTube tube It is in the English and Maori languages http://m.youtube.co...

We have very liberal hunting laws. They only thing to watch is hunting fowl. It is absolutely forbidden to hunt native birds. There is a duck shooting season in May. You can shoot wild Turkey anytime. Slaughtering Canadian geese is sometimes positively encouraged. Possums, kill as many as you can.. ...

If a yankee business man hired NZs to beat NZs, so much the better. It's all in good fun, eh? And so this morning Sir Russell Coutts says he may leave team Oracle to join team New Zealand. The very first cup was Britain vs USA. "Your majesty the Americans are actually Australians, British, New ...

It was all a bit of a farce in the end. 1. Team USA had ONE American of the 11 2. Oracle's manager is a New Zealander called Sir Russell Coutts 3.

I shoot lots of LRN from my 38/357 Rossi 24inch octagonal. On another forum I saw pictures when someone managed to blow their tubular magazine up. So it can happen. I can load 13 but I usually only load 5 at a time. Personally I don't get a very good group out of LRN, with my rifle LRNFP is much bet...

I have just returned from the range. Shooting my 38/357 octagonal Rossi My local gun shop gave me a sample of 130gr LRNFP the type with the single blue band. I loaded it with 4 grains trail boss.

We actually had a marmite shortage here last year. It was so bad my son sold a 175mg jar for $34.00 on the equivalent of eBay. My wife purchased it for $2.95. Eat vegemite and the midges will not bite you. I absolutely love both. Especially on toast. But spread only a little. Spread too much and it ...

Idiots like thAt can't sue here. Since the 1970s we have had a non sueing law for accidents. If its my fault and he is hurt. I will go to court on a criminal neglect charge. The government pAys his medical costs at a modest level.

Too change a famous line:

Clint Eastwood: "I know what your thinking did I shoot 5 or six?"

Could be

"I know what your thinking did I shoot 8 or 12"

I am sure he shot off a lot more than 5 or 6

So how was the marbles bullseye? Does it fit right in. How did it compare to the buckhorn?

KiwiKev

Sorry guys i had just been on brownells looking at the rear sight with the fibre optics. My tired brain got mixed up. BackSight or Rear sight is what I intended.

Mea culpa!

KiwiKev

I have a Rossi 24inch octagonal in 38/357. I think the factory buckhorn backsightt is a bit rough for accurate target shooting. Has anyone changed their back sights for their Rossi? Apart from a tang sight? Is the backlight easily interchanged or does it need some gun smithing?

Cheers guys.

I know, westerns can be subjective. That's why they used the term "spaghetti". Did you see on your link that one reviewer said "Surprisingly Good". What is important is whether you enjoy or not. So 55% enjoyed it. I enjoyed the documentary about the guy who was the arms officer f...

I know this isn't guns but my boys tell me the length of the runway in the latest fast an furious film needs to be about 25 miles long for the time chasing and shooting. Apparently the longest runway in the world is about 5 miles long in china!
