Yep firearms wise about a dozen handguns & rifles, and a shit load of ammo. There’s a post about it with more detail somewhere in the Lounge section, It happened while we were away over the 2023/24 Xmas/New years break.

Yuck!!
Well I got out to the range for the first time in a month (been sick/injured) and shoot a few matches, couple of Service matches and a couple of Tyros.
Shot a perfect tyro score with the old Margolin, much to the dismay of the guy next to me with his tricked out race gun. Lol .
Now to cleaning and then catching up on all the scores so I can get a scorers report ready before the meeting on Wednesday.

Are you the handicapper as well. That is a difficult job and nearly everyone hates you for it. at least it feels that way.
Thankfully I don’t have to do that. It’s mostly just to record members attendances.
Took two mates who had never shot a pistol before down to a public range, both had a great time

Sent my fully semi-automatic rimfire CZ rifle to Queensland (the new owner doesn’t know it’s an automatic weapon yet but Paul Papalia assures everyone here that’s true…)
And after stood at a pre-polling booth handing out how to votes alongside the shooters union WA rep and another shooter repping the nats for a couple of hours.
Quietly praying for a bit of democracy manifest

Put in a couple of PTA’s & now sitting here waiting on a murder death kill fully automatic weapon of war mass destruction carnage and human suffering to arrive from the Peoples Republic of Western Dictatorship.
Quietly praying for Papalia and his ilk to get a nasty dose of cancer um I mean Karma.

Hopefully you get it today. If this pesky cyclone knew QLD had that kind of heavy artillery it’d think twice about turning west and making landfall!

Okies, I haven’t posted much in here…
Shot 22LR action match which is A LOT of fun. Then my gun started playing up… Buckmark… Note to self, do NOT remove magazine disconnector, it’s an important reliability part. I literally stripped that fucker to bare frame in order to understand what’s going on, eventually figured it out. What really shit me, is reading a bunch of forums with this overabundance of, oh ye, me too, just file this and shave of that. Like WTF people. Anyway, turns out I am pretty smart.
And did shotgun IPSC. I lost. Like proper lost. Last lol. But, in my defence, I tried everything. @Supaduke
left his caddies unattended, I even tried sabotaging those. All I heard was, ‘uh you c*nt’ from across the range, realising he foiled my diabolical plan.
Range setup looked great though.
Pistols… Of course. But I am super low on 9mm and super unmotivated to do anything about it. But I will! I will! Should crank some out, maybe this week.
Next 22 action comp, think little dude will come with and see how he goes. A lot of fun.
@sungazer next month, 22 rifles… Still from 25m inwards. No stable positions 
Aaaaaand I feel like another shotgun

That range looks real nice
well ive been so busy 2 weeks,bought 11 from wa so far. the paper work for dealers register,the bloody adds not marked sold,the dickering and sorting.and the uninformed dreaming sellers.some gun shops just plain gouging on h2h freight. beatons are fantastic with freight and service,so using them totally now.told end of month no h1 freight out unless a heap of new conditions met including gps tracker. bloody big job sorting for m8’s wanting these guns. and sfa for muggins for doing it.

Sure, sure… Or… Maybe show a little consideration and sensitivity for people who are losing their private property. 
Yeah, it really seems the North West Korean gov have really rigged the system by messing so hard with the shipping before the restrictions came in.
Shutting as many ranges as they can, to basically steal people’s genuine reason, this will next send all the dealers over there broke. I’d say 90% of gun shops will be gone in 5yrs and soon even farmers won’t be able to buy ammo.
In 10yrs feral animals will outnumber feral communists.
All WA shooters need to tell them to get fucked and move to Australia.
wtf you on about, im just telling it exactly as it is. the concideration im showing is im buying their guns that if not sold by end of month they will get naught $ for. you may think you’re god here but are un fucking believable js. not the first time either. you need to engage brain before posting. i cant win on here.
I would have thought that it’s obvious… because:
It’s “you’re”, by the way, not “your”.
I thought it’s the same?

Easy on mate. A lot of people are suffering over there. Its so bad we’ve signed up 25 new members who have driven over from WA and stored their 10’s of $10,000 of dollars worth of guns here just so they dont lose the lot. Everyone is flat out and panicking.

I was at Beatons on Saturday morning
In the 20 mins I was there another 20 blokes dropped off CZs and shotguns for rendering or 12g magazine tube reductions to 5 rounds.
$400 for either option, or you can hand into WAPOL and get nothing.
Heaps of people trying to replace their prohibited Rimfire with another 22LR , 22wm or 17hmr but all the decent rimfires are sold out. I didn’t bother I reckon in a few months I’ll only have centerfires.
And then there is the “level 2” $3000 10mm door safe I and many other people had to order before March 31st… they are not actually available until May but you need a receipt to say you are organizing one.
So lots of money spent, some firearms given up, some modified and a lot of people not knowing if they’ll be able to get a property letter for the future licence even after spending all the money to get a transitional licence.
Interstate freight cutoff for prohibited firearms is the 26th hope that helps
