G'day, im finally through all the hoops to get myself a NSW firearms licence (even had to put a genuine reason to get a centerfire) and i am getting myself into hunting.
Any way i am wanting to get myself a No1Mk111 and im in Sydney. Any help with reputable dealers in the area and the type of ammo i should be getting myself wil be much appreciated |

Ah yeah cool. Cheers mate.
Whats the going price for a bayonett? Might become useful if a razorback gets a little too close.... The other people at the hunting club im in with recon i shoud get myself some fancy new rifle with optics on it.... Personally i think iron sights are pretty good, back in my cadet days i could shoot decent groups with iron sighted .22's. i Might have to get something a little smaller than a .303 for things like rabbits though.... |

bayonets at the above mentioned shows go from 100 to 200 bucks depending if with scabbard and frog or not. nah trust me mate the rabbits love the .303! gutted, skinned and cooked in 1 hit!

G'Day welcome to the mad house ! Look ,Fancy looking rifles shoot
well & there's a whole world of calibres to choose from! Look I
make a living out of Shooting & yes I have a couple of real tack
drivers that earn my keep ! I also have several .303's & their off
spring that I still use for work ! You can fit optics to a Enfield !
Mick Smiths ,Lawrance ordanance ,Horsley Park Gun shop all stock
Enfields ! I recomend though that you ask around your mates & round
the traps at Gun clubs as normally someone will know of a cheap one
around the place for sale ! Look at reloading as Highland produce cheap
brass & projectiles & their not a bad quality

I walked into lawrence ordanance the other week and the pricks didnt want to know me.
Even worse they didnt have any shootable No1Mk111's. I guess they have heaps of young blokes walking in there all the time wanting to sticky beak with no idea of what it takes to get a rifle licence, but ignorning me was just wrong. But even worse they suggested I buy a yugo mauser! |
