I'm with Buck- you can't expect movies to be historically accurate. Its just some of the inaccuracies get under ones craw. As a movie I quite liked 'Australia'- the problem is as with often the case with big budget flicks they get your hopes up too much with adverts before you start watching it, tha...

Lawyer Daggit

I can understand you supporting your local firearms industry- the last part of the Australian industry became 'all American' and turned into Kimber. If you do not support local industries (and this includes your local gun shop) they will cease to exist. My difficulty with modern American products is...

I was just looking at a russian Toz 78 in a gun shop the other day- and it bears a striking resemblance to a Winchester Wildcat- which I have only seen in magazines.

Are these guns one and the same?

Lawyer Daggit

I do not dispute that the Garand will become hard to find- especially a good one- as the years go by, but I understand they are still being released by Uncle Sam to NRA members, so can hardly be considered rare. Frankly, the Garand does nothing for me- but I am not an American, my families blood fou...

I have a TC Carbine with 21 inch barrel.

Frankly I cannot think of a benefit of a 26 inch barrel in this chambering- they seem pretty close to delivering optimal power at the 20-21 inch mark.

I am sure the TC Custom shop would oblige you if you so desired- they seem quite accomodating.

For the purpose of this exercise are we mobile or in a hut, and if mobile how are we moving around?

Weight obviously plays a big part in such choice, as does the issue of re-supply of ammo.

Lawyer Daggit

Sorry, but I would dispute that the Garand was the finest battle rifle ever created. While relatively well made I would have thought that its annoying (and dangerous) tendency to announce to an opponent that it was empty and the users inability to top it up more than disqualified it from that title....

England has its Highwaymen, Australia its bushrangers and America its outlaws- while all have an element of popular glamour all are basically another form of gangster, and I do not think James is any better than stuff like Capone. In terms of armoury Capone was dealing with more advanced weapons- Th...

Hi, pull up a seat by 'the fire', pour yourself a coffee and lets chat.

Lawyer Daggit

Reading this helps me understand some of the long shots taken by old timers using lever actions. I had always looked upon these skeptically - not now

Lawyer Daggit

Sorry you suffer a with black dog. But good to see you handling it appropriately. Following a break up with my ex I resolved much hiking over hill and dale with Winchester in hand, or lazily working my way up a creek with a fly rod. The natural therapy of gentle exercise and the thrill of the hunt h...

If you plan on using it the 9410 is about as much fun as you can ever get in a gun. It is a hoot.

The Garand is an American classic- when you could get them here, I don't think anyone called them fun- too heavy for that- but the M1 carbine was and would I think shade the 9410 at the fun stakes.

Lawyer Daggit

I look at the 'Judge' and 'Public Defender' and drool. Wish they were legal down under.

It would be a perfect match for my 9410.

Lawyer Daggit

I had one briefly about 20 years ago. My rifle would jam if I cycled it quickly.

The metal work was also Aluminium from memory and scratched easily.

I traded up to a Winchester 9422 which I consider to be a far superior firearm.

Lawyer Daggit

Over the last forty one years, I can look back and see trends in my shooting- a move to faster rounds (.22LR- to 22 Hornet, to .222 to 223 to 220 swift and faster actions (procession before-single shot to bolt action to lever action to semi auto back to bolt action and single shot. I now do most of ...

Lawyer Daggit

I have a TC carbine with 21 inch Ackley Improved barrel. I have settled on using 125 gn ballistic tips in mine for most of my shooting. I have also used 150 gn (?) mag tips some years ago with moderate success. The problem with a lot of 30 cal projectiles is that at 30-30 velocities the bullet is no...

Lawyer Daggit

Black powder is one type of shooting I have never done.

Are black powder kits easy to do? I am not very good with my hands, but am keen to give it a go.

Bulldog1935 is I think right.

Several times a year I slip away for a quiet few days fly fishing. There is nothing like a nice wild rainbow caught on 3-4 weight gear and cooked on hot coals under star light. I go for minimal preparation- just the heat of the charcoal a little foil and lemon and black pepper on the flesh. Mmmmmmm....

Having bought 4 guns in the last 12 months- 3 lever actions- Browning 92, BLR 308, Winch 9410 and Savage 10PC I suffer your addiction. My wife cringes whenever we go into a new town- first thing I do is orient myself via the location of the Court House then find gun shops!.

Lawyer Daggit

Was the Tanker Garand a real 'battle field' conversion or was it an after market exercise to boost sales of ex army firearms? I know in the Australian army many armourers shortened Lee Enfields under battlefield conditions under the direction of soldiers with view to developing 'pseudo' jungle carbi...

If you can avoid it don't sell the 32 40. Remember there was a reason you bought this gun and you will regret having sold it.

It took me many years to work this out. Now I never sell a gun unless it is failing to perform in a way I cannot fix.

Lawyer Daggit

Problem is I do not like tang sights. I once had one on a '94. I used to find it uncomfortable when folded, and as I carried the gun it would turn a bit. It was also not as accurate as a receiver sight.

Seem's like a receiver sight is the way to go.

Lawyer Daggit

I have just acquired a Browning 92 in 44 mag. Given the curved trajectory of this round a traditional ladder sight might be the go. Does anyone have experience with these sights. What are they like to use?, are they reliable? Also I notice Bob's gun shop in Royal, Arizona is selling them, does anyon...

My 92 Browning has just been shipped to a gun shop nominated by me, and I have to wait for the issue of a permit to acquire from the Firearms Registry, which should take a few more days.

A few of his relatives have done well off the Von R name- there was a Senior officer in a tank regt in WW2 who was a relative, and a recently retired head of NATO was a Von R I believe. When he was ambassador to the UK the media loved his name.

Lawyer Daggit

In my opinion most military men are very religious, and the establishment encourages them to be- it is easier to send a man to what may be his death if you believe he will be going to a better place- rather than just a cold hole in the ground. This would have particularly have been the case in Victo...

What have you sold and regretted selling and why? After a break up with my ex, when I needed replacement furniture, I sold: 1. Remington model 7 in 7-08 2.

I have never hunted ground hogs as we don't get them down under.

One of the best lever action varminter's I have ever used was a Winchester 92 with a heavy octagonal barrel in 25 20. This gun had a tang site and I must have been stupid to sell it.

Lawyer Daggit

Thanks gents. The material at the predator call sites inc Varmint Al's is amazing.

All I need now is a suitable speaker then watch out foxes.

I bought a Chrony some years ago. At the same time I picked up my .350 Rem Mag. I set it up a bit close to the muzzle- not knowing what the back draft was. My Chrony originally had cardboard parts that mount into the case that the bullet passes through (since replaced by plastic). On toughing off wi...
