Militaria Expo

[juststarting]

Going tomorrow... Thinking, do I need a .303? I think I do yeah...

Anyone else going?

[Mr.Seacucumber]

I really really want to be able to make it, have work till lunch time though and just bought a Howa 1500 so I don't think I'll be buying haha

[Heckler303]

If I was in the area I would go.

if you're going there juststarting, check out the P14s and M17s. A P14 would make a better .303 than a Lee Enfield if you can afford it.

I wish I could genesis, school holidays just started. I'll be busy mucking around in state forests and warrens for a lot of the break, but it would be so nice to go see the militaria display, and even meet some of you guys.

Cool!

[No1Mk3]

I'll be there, have to pay the organizer for an M17 I got off him last week. Also want to see Roger M of Lock, Stock about some .43 Egyptian dies.

[Supaduke]

Just got back, bought myself a nice savage no. 4 mk 1. Stock has a few dings but the action and barrel are mint. Will pick it up mid week. I will give it a tidy up and post some pics

Lovely no.4 supaduke. Is that martini cadet underneath the table?

[Title_II]

Far be it from me to EVER talk a mate out of a gun (unless it is a complete POS).

Hope you got one.

Quite possibly, too tiny for me to see on my phone , but they had about a dozen or so cadets there in various condition.
Overall the show was pretty good. Probably not as many milsurps rifles there as I would have liked. A few rifles not correctly identified, mainly mausers labeled as k98's . A couple I pointed out, benefit of the doubt it was an honest mistake. Would hate to think it was done on purpose to cash in on unwary punters . Overall, worth the $15 entry and always good to walk around and look at interesting stuff.

No, chickened out, got some reloading stuff, maybe next year, probably sooner. Need to do a bit of reading on models and what I want first...

[rsj223]

I love this place kids and I go to everyone, another good one will be at Ballarat in July

[juststarting]

Shush you!

[Wobble]

How often do you guys have these shows in Vic? Seems like a lot.

[rsj223]

That one is about 3 a year and my next one will be in July

Easier when they have the least ridiculous laws of the states one imagines.
