I just got back from a small 330km ride on my Sportster with a mate up to Maldon here in Victoria. Joe, Ive only been riding motorbikes for one year and bought my Harley new last September. If I can do it at 25, I am sure you can! 2ndovc, Joe wants a Harley and you recommend a Honda shadow? :mrgreen:

Aussie Chris

Nice Ultra. If you really wanna join the darkside get an iron883

Your Ultra has too much chrome

Just clocked over 12,000kms on mine, bought it new last September

Aussie Chris

Wow, thats cool

Aussie Chris

Great post Kirk! And nice accurate '76! I like the round barrel.

Reminds me, I have to get a weekend off work one of these days to try out some tame loads I made for my 1894 30wcf.

Chris

Aussie Chris

Wow! Thats kinda yuk seeing soo many!

The model 94 here in Aus is know as one of the best pig guns, ive never hunted pigs.

Chris

I would like the SRC version like KirkD's new purchase. Hard to find any old Winchesters and Marlins are generally a fair bit expensive compared to over there. The hard thing is just finding them, gone are the days of seeing any pre 64 Winchester on a gunshop rack. Ive only ever seen one in my life ...

Aussie Chris

This just advertised for sale today, first ive seen here in Aus.

Tad bit pricey!

Aussie Chris

Thanks Kirk. Ill keep my eyes open down here but they are not very common here at all.

The saddle ring carbine does look great and I can imagine the recoil from the old 45-70! Nice purchase and enjoy that recoil!

Chris

Aussie Chris

Very nice! Not as cool as your Winchester 1886 light weight takedown you sold though :mrgreen: Forgive my ignorance, I am still researching these '86 repro's, Browning Japan made a run of these, being approx 7,000 in 1986 yeah? I take it they have not been available since then? I would love an 1886 ...

Aussie Chris

Ha! That is funny

Aussie Chris

Those dogs are awesome. I've been to a few hot jobs at work where the dog squad are sniffing out the offenders for us, always good seeing em do their thing.

Chris

Aussie Chris

Here it would probably leave a gunshop rack at around 700-900. Not that I would pay that for it. I have too many NIB comemmoratives but I have paid up to $950 for a couple of them that I just had to have. If you like it, bid on it and see how you go. I would say over there maybe around 500-600 but t...

Aussie Chris

Nice pics Bob, sounds like a great road trip! I just got back from my own roadtrip last week on the Harley with a mate. Drove from Melbourne to Adelaide, long way on a bike. Did 745kms (462mi for the yanks), in one day on the way back, epic! i'm still a bit sore. Great pic of Eagle park, I am a regu...

It sold for $3,400 no reserve.

Here is my Legendary Lawman levergun

30-30 16'' trapper

We are only allowed to carry our issued sidearm here in Vic, which is now my new S&W M&P .40 auto. This is replacing our S&W .38 six shooter as we speak

Chris

Aussie Chris

I want it

Aussie Chris

I take it this is one like you are talking about Pete.

Found it on the lowere tang just in front of the trigger. It appears to be a partially stamped number '5'
I am just going over my recent purchase

Chris

Aussie Chris

W30wcf, great pics and thanks for that. Looks like they encouraged people to reload back then! Wonder how much a box of the cartridges is these days!

Pop Watts, still on nightshift so havnt had a chance yet! When I eventually do ill let everyone know.

Chris

Aussie Chris

Great Post Petre44ru and Mike D and great research.

It's blokes like you guys that teach us youngins a few things!

Ditto Paul.

Chris

Aussie Chris

Good link Pete, cheers

Aussie Chris

Thanks for the comments fellas. Wish I knew the backround of this rifle. All I know is that it came out of a collection here in Victoria and a few year back was owned by another collector in New South Wales, specifics unknown unfortunatley. Does anyone know when she may have been made, according to ...

Aussie Chris

Nice Takedown! It looks fantastic and such a good price! Great blueing left on the barrel and mag tube, the one I just bought I paid a bit more for but yours is a fair bit nicer.

Well done

Chris

Aussie Chris

Couple more pics and one happy bloke with a fine old Winchester!

Chris

Aussie Chris

Well here she is. Can't get the smile off my face. There is nothing in our house this old!!! The '1' serial numbers look like an upide down 'T'. What's the story with that? I have seen numerous other pics of 1894's with '1's like that. MikeD the serial number according to Madis is 1898. I remember y...

Aussie Chris

''If it aint broke dont fix it'' comes to mind

Chris

Aussie Chris

Good work Pokey, thanks mate!
I gots some reading to do, got a Carlton Draught in front of me after work (wouldnt mind one of your PBR's they are a good beer) and am reading these links now.

Pop Watts, she is mine, check your pm's.

Chris

Aussie Chris

Mike, the serial number is in the 114xxx range. Based on Madis' figures this was made in 1898. I have read that his figures could be out by approx 2 years? Where did your information come from if you don't mind me asking Mike? I would'nt mind doing some further research into all this. Regardless I t...

Aussie Chris

Thanks for the feedback guys. And yeah I will be buying it as Griff and Hobie pointed out ''in the world of collecting, condition & rarity are only trumped by desire!'' Sure is prewar at 1898!! I have not actually seen a 94 this old here in Australia yet, with my own eyes that is. Most Wincheter...

Aussie Chris

The rifle is very similar to the top 94 in this pic

Aussie Chris

Well it's alll down hill from here...I have stopped collecting the comemmoratives, have 10 of the jolly things already. I have decided to spend a little bit more than I would have liked but think it would be worth buying some real Winchesters made back in the day. So sounds like I will start to coll...

Aussie Chris

I can hear the Grand Prix cars qualifying here in Melbourne from my house. Ill be heading to the great race tomorrow with a good mate.
It would be great to see Mark Webber win it here in his home country.

GO WEBBER!!!

Aussie Chris

Heres my ride, 2011 Harley Davidson Iron 883.

Just got back from our annual gunshow on it. Looked kinda funny with a copy of Madis 'The Winchester Book' poking out of my jacket on the way home. Picked it up brand new for 90 bucks! The book that is

Chris

Aussie Chris

That is awesome Kirk!

Nice property mate. I think I will end up buying a few acres up in the high country here when I finallly decide to move out.
Getting sick of the big smoke.

Chris

Aussie Chris

I saw this the other day this bloke is a squeezer and a half! The dreamer has a commanche carbine for $5000 obo! Maybe I should sell all my nib comemmoratives and buy a BOSS 429 Mustang! Well at least everyone local knows to stay away from 'Get Along Gun Supplies, 52 Matthews Rd, Geelong'. This guy ...

Aussie Chris

Thanks for the input fellas. Bruce, that list is interesting.

Chris

Aussie Chris

And also a bit of input from Wiki Answers: Generally, a "high-powered rifle" is any modern rifle designed to fire a bullet at high velocity from a hollow cylindrical metal shell by means of igniting a primer and detonating a smokeless power charge contained within. Exactly where a "ri...

Aussie Chris

Just one of those questions to make you think. What does high powered mean? Is a firearm 'high powered' once it achieves a certain level of velocity? Or a certain amount of energy or good old knock down power? To me, a high powered rifle would be a centerfire round such as a 30-30, 30-06, .223, 338 ...

Aussie Chris

Yes that is very cool. I love the deep Colt blue. I am seriously considering getting my handgun licence here and getting a much wanted 1911.

Might have something to do with the fact that I am currently training with our new S&W .40 for LE.

Chris

Aussie Chris

Ive got one very similar to it, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police comemmorative. Exactly the same with the flip up ladder rear sight but gold, not silver like yours. Mine is NIB and I look at at like this, they wont be making em anymore and how many have you seen? I have not seen any down here to be...

Aussie Chris

Gday fellas. These floods are bad! Just watched 9 news, 66 missing, 9 dead. Sort of reminding me of our bushfires we had down here not long ago. Good luck up there guys. Im glad my Uncle in Brissy is all good. I hasnt stopped raining down here in the past 3 days, I'm spewing becasue I just wanna get...

Aussie Chris

very nice. what caliber mate?

Aussie Chris

Where is Austrailia?

Aussie Chris

Wow some awesome looking bikes! Streetstar, my mate that I ride with has a 1200 custom that looks a lot like yours. Nice Rocker C, Mich, 'just 105hp with two wheels' :mrgreen: Grizzly the purple on your Sporty looks sick :D RJohns, i am sure your Streetbob would get up and go with thise mods. I just...

Aussie Chris

What a compliment, thanks gents!

Just gotta put all the goodies I got for it like the blacked out slip on exhausts and buckshot pipe covers. Might flip the mirrors too...
Good way to start my leave

Aussie Chris

Well thought I would blow a little of my hard earned on a 2011 Iron 883. I have wanted this bike since it came out in 2009 and just picked it up from the dealer today. It is the first 2011 Iron 883 in Aus and its mine

I can't get the smile of my face!

I have my own small collection.
