RE: BLAST FROM THE PAST.... KAPOOKA 1RTB!
In redgarrds to the new Gat. I admit, generally people like mostly what they know. So you telling me the benefits of an SLR & me telling you the practicality of the AusSteyer, would probably be pointless.
But for me I found the weapon easy to disassemble & reassemble, light & easy to carry, plus with more plastic parts, less chance of metal parts rusting or wood decaying. If you can wash the rifle out with a hose to clear a stoppage, then keep firing. Pretty efficient, I say:)
Like I said, times have changed, but a lot of the old school knowledge helped me out in my future employment abroad, saved my ass more than once.
It is kind of funny how life leads us all down different roads, if things hadn't changed in South Africa, I would have been a coppa down there. A guy I knew, good bloke, was an ex coppa and he was willing to set me up with a good paying job. 10 grand US a month and everything taken care of. That was where he made his money before going back home, but in some way I'm glad it didn't work out.
Wouldn't be able to sleep for the wrong reasons I guess, at least this way I know I was on the right side.
