I'm so going on a government watch list...

Soft point ammo has caused feed problems on my rifles in the past. So I use only FMJ
ammo.

My No1 MkIII* Lee-Enfield does that. I may need to give the feed ramp a good polishing.

are the bullets seated out too far? Try a deeper seating. SMLE's were supposed to be very reliable and trouble free, which is why they were in service so long. Although the rear locking lugs on the bolt are inderior to the M98 as a sporting rifle (IMO).

Wouldn't have thought you were the SMLE type. P17 Enfield maybe
I want to get a MkIII with a Light Horse bayonet (very long - like a short sward) and a Boer War Lee Enfield to accompany the 7mm 96 Mauser one of my Great Uncles brought back.

I think anyone owning guns in Australia is on some sort of government list (apart from the firearms registers).

A friend of mine recently had a regular police inspection of his gun storage facilty at home. They want to to see that his ammo was locked in a separate area from the guns (as they do - ammo must be securely locked by law). He showed them his steel box with a couple of packs of ammo in it. On the other side of the door, was a pallet of 12ga ammo, sitting unsecure in the middle of the garage floor. I wonder what they would have made of that

They won't kick down yer door, they'll just tap yer phone from now on. Thank goodness MI5 never does anything like that to us law abiding citizens.

They find boxes of ammo a few feet from me on a table. A loaded hand gun on a shelf across the room. A rifle in the closet with ammo in a magazine.

yeah they probably keyword monitor everyones lol

my shopping lists are usually fairly questionable - from obscure recreational pharms to lockpicks passing thru subversive literature and books on cypher systems.

got a few of those groovy keyring light things full of tritium as well! shiny!

but your a Texan. Isn't there a law that says you have to be armed better than the police? (our police don't like it)

Years ago I was listening to a police scanner and the dispatcher was on the phone with a women whose house was being broke into. The dispatcher told the police officer that the women did not have a gun. She may have said that to let the police officer know he would not get shot accidentally by the home owner. But I got the impression from the dispatcher voice that she felt scared for the women.

At least two police officers owned gun stores in my town at one time Bureaucrats
that run the police departments are against guns in civilian hands. The average police officer does not have a problem with it.

I was thinking of a scene in a movie about the (true story ) of a shooting in Tx from a tower in a university (I forget other details). Passers by were stopping and taking their deer rifles from their cars and shooting back A line in the movie from one of the cops was something like the citizens had better guns than the cops did.

reminds me, one of the rifles used in Australias worst shooting massacre at Port Arthur was previously surrended into a police station in a different state and was supposed to have been destroyed. Somehow it left the possession of the police and became illegally owned again.

yes but don't you have 7 1/2 security cameras for every person in the UK?

There is a CCTV camera on the only exit that we're allowed to use at school to leave. I still manage to "bunk off" when I don't have any lessons without anyone noticing. I've also gone for jogs around Hammersmith in the morning when I'm supposed to be somewhere in school doing something, but nothing in particular!
Oh yes, and there's also the apparent internet security. I've visited www.genitorturers.com and various similar things by getting through the firewalls. Oh, and I've had very spurious and rude (but hella funny) e-mail conversations with my friend.
Still not caught...

I find this strange, we have almost no gun laws, 18 for a long gun, 3 days for a hand gun, but that is the Feds messing with States Rights. No problem with used. We had the highest murder rate in the US when they did it with swords, and nothing has changed.

In my city, 400 people per year is one out of 800. It is only 4000 per decade. In any ten year period in New Orleans, your odds are about 80-1. That is only bodies found, the Mississippi runs through the center of the city, and there is nothing but swamps full of gators in all directions. Counting, where is so and so, the true odds are around 25-1 per decade, about 12,000 dead and missing.

Guns do not kill people, other people do.

When someone around here says, "My wife ran off and left me," we console the poor man, and never let on our thoughts.

This is how I define normal. As Homer Simpson told Bart, "it was that way when I got here."

Back in the late 80's or early 90's two guys with assault rifles and full body armor rob a bank in California I think. And the police go to a nearby gun store and start buying assault rifles to fight back.

It depends on trust. My Mum is fine with me purchasing an air rifle when I go to University so that I can join a shooting club.

Boooooooo! Booooooooo!
