That's not a hobby, not even an obsession. It's a full time occupation! Well done!

You won me with the Martini Trap Gun - WOW.
From an Aussies point of view reading this post a few comments have me wondering about a non American made biased undertone when it comes to firearms But this is fine - everyone has a right to their opinion and makes judgements on what they have seen as well as national pride.The reality is that the Teak stocks or other bits and pieces not being made in Australia upsets us aswell but the commercial reality of it in Australia is that they have little choice but to do so, to build such a Rifle 100% in Australia would mean it would cost $10 000. As it is some of this range of Rifles cost around $1500 au. Every one of the Rifles I've seen have been very good in fit and finish, the owners have been wrapt in how they shot. We have a different idea of wood to metal fit. To our eyes wood left high is not poor fit and flush leaves zero room to repair chips etc, of coarse excessive gaps are not good. At the time of their release they where a breath of fresh air in our firearms market. A biased Aussies thoughts anywho ![]() regards Jacko |
