Our old family bolt actions are like glass too 
Unfortunately itâs like broken glass, but it keeps the little finger and wrist/grip strength strong!

Fun fact see if anyone remembers. There is bugger all info you can find about it as it has been scrubbed.
Australia had a bumper year on wheat and barley. Prime minister Paul Keating fkd a few things up as usual for export.
But aha Keating struck a deal with China called grain for guns deal. We send boatloads of our surplus grain and they sent us 300000 SKS-D (D for detachable mag) models brand new with 3x 30 round AK mags and a shit ton of norinco ammo.
Crap gun and shit ammo.
Have a guess how mony of those got handed in the semi auto ban of Howard days. 60000.
I remember going to my fav local Thursday night shopping. Open the door and just cases of chinese stuff. I said wtf and Dadâs mate said oh yep $70 with 3x30 rnd mags and a case of 1200 ammo done 
It was not bad for the cost of a toilet roll. But yea utilitarian. Groups yea good if you like 6Moa at 50 yards shooting 7 cent per round steel core ammo.
Donât know the name of it but itâs a fascist spain armourers proof stamp
Looks like FR8 Mauser carbine

No soup for you. Wombat wins. French not spanish.
Just a fan of carbines. Lust after a No5.
Curious. L:ooks like a Spanish manufacture stamp
Fabrica De Armas La Coruña
What is the date stamp? Is the stamp from the same FR8?

Thatâs why I guessed fascist Spain considering it has 1938 date stamp
Maybe it doesenât show up in the pics but it is 1952 rebarrel to 7.62 Nato for their interim rifle while they waited for Cetme rifles to arrive. Why it has Cetme parts on it to familiarize the troops.
And yes I did have a brain fart it is Spanish, I was thinking of my other one. So Wombat wins.

I actually got my hands on one, at the store in CabooltureâŠ
Positives: its lightâŠvery light. Collapsable stock shortens it, a lot.
Downsides: the number one, is the cheek piece. I instantly found it uncomfortable. Its not adjustable either. It could be removable, but then your resting your cheek on the stock arm. The stock did have a little wobble in it, you had to pull it in tight, to remove slack. The action was a little rougher, compared to the Howaâs.
I also saw on usedguns.com, a cz600 trail for sale, dude used it once, found it uncomfortable, and is now selling it.
I wish you could " try before you buy", 30-40 rounds, and you get a feel if you like it or notâŠ
Also, just found out I have to pay an âextraâ sum to the ATO, due to âjoint ownedâ stuff with mumâŠ
Its a large amount, so thats gonna hurtâŠ
Also the ducted A/C is not working at the investment property down the coastâŠmore potential costly repairsâŠ
Hoping its just the compressor, the unit is about 15 yrs oldâŠitâll be a big expense to replace the whole unitâŠ
So, iâll sit on my hands for abit, maybe a good 2nd hand Howa from cleavers is all i really needâŠ
and, the CZ 455 .22 to .22mag kits, havenât been in stock for 2 years⊠

They have a used black creek labs bison, for $1200.
Muzzle break, and a magpul stock.
Ive not had any experience, are they a well reputed brand?
Either that, or get a Howa action, and synth collapsable stockâŠ
Or, the mini action Howa , for $1200, newâŠ

Yes, reproduction Brown Bess, it belongs to my mate. I fired it for the first time that day. Just about burned my eyebrows off
Donât know about that Bison, would have to check some reviews out on it.
Iâd get a Howa mini action anyday. Mate has one and itâs gold.
