bet your brass was the cleanest its ever been😁

Thanks All, I got thru to him and have ordered a sight for my H&R Trapdoor.

Does Lee have an email address? I couldn't find it on his website. I am looking to get one of his Soule stems for the H&R Officers Model Trapdoor Carbine and phone calls to the US can be hit and miss when the guy your calling is working flat out in his workshop.

Verboten I did the search through Google too and they all came up 403.

This is from the Australian Marriage celebrant site. Can you be related and get married in Australia? The following relatives can not get married by lawe in Australia: a person and an ancestor or descendant of the person a brother and a sister (whether of the whole blood or the half-blood) a person who is or was an adopted child, and, for that purpose, the relationship between an adopted child and the adoptive parent, or each of the adoptive parents, of the child, shall be deemed to be or to have been the natural relationship of child and parent. Which basically translates to this: you cannot marry your parent, great/grandparent, child, or great/grandchild, brother or sister, blood or adopted. So the other side of that list leads you here. Which relatives can get married in Australia? uncles or aunties cousins, first, second, and onwards step-siblings or step-children in-laws foster siblings or children almost all other people

Did you get the Trail Boss that was supposed to be coming to you in the USA?

APS350 (Clays) and AR2205 (H4227 / H110) have just been released to Australian Gun stores, but there isn't much of it.

Depends on the pineapple. The sweetest pineapples I ever had were fresh pineapples in Bougainville. Every bit as sweet as tinned pineapple. Nope!

That isn't going to buff out!

With the exchange rate your 900 is pretty close to our 1350.

Would that also be the case with a short stroke action?

Thanks, I have ordered one and we will see how long it takes to get in. I have three SASS PRO (the Aussie version, looks like a short stroked El Patron competition with no markings on the barrel that say SASS PRO). I was a bit disappointed with a warranty replacement I got this year. It just didn't feel as solid and well put together as the ones I got back in 2020 (the front sight was bent to allow POI to match POA). I like my Pietta C&B guns and I am hoping this matches their quality and out of the box shootability. EDIT: I contacted the shop and asked for two. I will let you know how long they take (I waited three years for the Uberti warranty replacement). By the way they are quoting $1350 each.

Pietta importer in Australia said they may be able to get these in. Has anyone been using them much?

Keep call'n mama, we'll find you.

45/70. I shoot that in a Pedersoli 1886 and a Pedersoli Boss Sharps. The 1886 does 0-300 and the Sharps the rest. The 1886 now has a Lee Shaver medium Soule and the Sharps a Lee Shaver Long Range.

Apologies for the hijack Alpo.

Some very good questions I will try and get to them all. Do note like the USA we have States that have authority over firearms laws and so there are differences, and the others here can point those out. The general gist is the same. First and foremost, we cannot carry or use firearms for self defence so that is a major difference. We can only have firearms in our possession when at the range or going to and from the range or hunting (and to and from the hunting). We most definitely do not have the access many of your States do but it isn't as restrictive as many think or have been told. In general, it's no semi-auto rifles or shotguns and no pump action shotguns. Other than that, it's pretty open. There are exceptions to the Semi auto and pump, but the conditions and reasons are pretty tight (professional hunters in the main). Do you have a limit on how many you can own- Not in NSW although my wife has a different view- How long does the licensing take when you buy one? - Initial licence is very time consuming (could be a year for a pistol licence inc trg cses and probation). Once you have the licence PTA's (permit to acquire) are pretty good (couple of days for a rifle/shotgun a week for a pistol). Can you buy something private sales, or is everything through the government? -The photos were from private sellers but all sales go thru a gun store or Club Armourer. I saw a cursory list of the various firearm categories, do they have different requirements to purchase/own/carry/store?- Rifles and shotguns the same, pistols different process but not onerous. No carry- Do you have to have secure storage like England?- I don't know about England; we have to have a safe for storage at home. Different specifications for rifles/shotguns and pistols. Are the magazines on those semi autos in your picture blocked to a lower limit.- Most firearms restricted to 10 rds. Are the magazines restricted to purchase- No, just expensive here. I DID try vegemite once, must have done it wrong. - You need years of practice to get Vegemite right. And Fosters...that stuff gave me a headache. -No Aussie drinks Fosters What's a good Australian beer I might find up here? - This is close to asking if .45 or 9mm is the best calibre for a defence pistol. My favorite's are Crown Lager, Coopers Dark Ale, Coopers Vintage and I don't mind Sam Adams No offence taken we are just miffed that we are often used as a boogie man for firearms control when it isn't as bad as some claim. As a currently serving digger, thanks and back at ya.

The below are photos from used guns and so are firearms we can own. I didn't bother with all the lever guns, double barrels, etc.

Out of idle curiosity what do you believe is banned here? Just to get the ball rolling there are a lot of Cowboy shooters here and we have no problems with any of those firearms (apart from pump action shotguns).
