Free ammo also, or you pay for that part ?
Leave it as it is. The ages have been at work on it and man can only mar it.
Don't hit at all if it is honorably possible to avoid hitting; but never hit soft.

The Browning and BREN was a special occasion so totally free. The other place charges for the ammo.

At todays ammo prices a full auto weapon can eat up a big bill very fast.

My old man was able to spend some time with various pieces of beautiful weaponry during his trip to the states last year. Needless to say I was a little jealous :P

racerguy, that's an awesome offer and much appreciated. "Huge collection" huh?! :Drool1:


I'm not surprised aussies would jump on that like a half-price hooker lol Anecdotally, I've read that those public ranges like the Gun Store in Las Vegas etc are often swamped with Australians, Brits, Japanese (who in particular may own no firearms at all, but instead have airsoft) and others from less gun-friendly countries.

Not hard to see why!


While I was competing in NZ last Feb, I had a chance to take photos of an M2 they had mounted on a jeep, with a couple of Brens to keep it company. Mind those drooling onlookers lol

“Freedom is the right to tell people what they do not want to hear.” George Orwell, English novelist, essayist, and critic, 1903-1950

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Heck M, You, your friends and I have thrown enough lead on your farm to sink the pond about a foot. I think we had 28 different firearms on this shoot.

That was big fun. Except for the heat, and ticks.
