Pics from my last venture out. Pity i got no "live" pics... by the time the camera came out i was out of ammo. Hopefully not to long now to get my license. Had my dr sign off on the medical side of it... i was prescribed anti-deps late last year when i had a bad reaction to my grandfathers...

Oops.. double post.

Thanks for the reply. I should only have a few weeks now till my license comes through so i can go and get my own ammo. I'll still be paying a lot more than you guys do for ammo but it will halve the cost. At the moment i'm paying just over AU$1 a shot... and i went through 3 boxes in half a...

I look forward to getting used to it. :grin: If i do get the corrosive ammo, and i know its been done to death about the place as a topic, so i know about flushing the barrel, what about the bolt? Am i going to have to strip the bolt each time or will flushing it suffice? Or is the bolt not...

I'm a little stiff and sore but have full movement. No bruising either.

Well, at the moment i only have the 1 rifle. My 1954 polish M44. I thought i loved it before today but after the smile it put on my face chewing through nearly 60 rounds today i actually kissed the timber. Can't accessorise it, can barely get ammo easily but i love my Mozzie.

Mozzie finally came out toplay today. Took 58 rounds. Chris fired less than 5, Liam fired maybe 5 or 6. Mick fired 2.... i fired the rest. My shoulder is in 1 piece. No bruising, no sore spots. But no ammo left. It's gonna take another trip to Sydney to get some. And with how easy i went...

Ditto that chuwee81, but i'm looking at a .22 option that i can fire all day and not kill my wallet, or my shoulder.

And today at long last i bought home some ammo for Mozzie. I've stayed away from the corrosive stuff, for now, until i get in the hang of the whole thing i'd rather not risk a pristine bore. Then we'll talk about it.. maybe. It works out at just over $1 a shot and i'll be keeping my brass incase...

Private property until my license comes through then i will also be shooting at a local range.

Yeah, my one and only Polish M44 but since i'm making a trip tomorrow to get ammo hopefully it won't be long now before it comes out to play. it's been an exercise in frustration not being able to play with Mozzie.

Why would you ask a Mosin Nagant user about a Mauser??? 2 different rifles.

Thanks for those links but since i'm in Australia i very much doubt i can do anything with them.

I'm not going to get to play with Mozzie after all.. regardless of weather. Chris went to get my ammo and the store apparently they haven't had it for ages.... why was i told they had it 3 weeks ago?? I am PO'd beyond belief. So much that i am even wondering whether i will bother going.

I joined the local shooting club tonight so the application for my license goes in the mail tonight. And Chris will buy me the ammo tomorrow.

I only have the 1 but since its also my first who knows what may happen... as long as i keep making the money i am at the moment... not a lot.

Well cross your fingers that this weekend has good weather. Chris picked up his Lee Enfield today so we're keen to go shoot asap. I passed my safety test tonight and will go and visit the local shooting club thursday night and join so by the weekend i will have my license application in the...

damn this sounded like a fun gun. Did it ever get further updated?

I haven't had the opportunity to shoot it yet. I was away last weekend and we're not heading out to the property until he has his SMLE. Doesn't want me to get the chance to play with mine until he has his. But i do enjoy getting it out at night up there. We watched Enemy at the Gates last...
